Why is there a tiny red light on top of my iphone 5

EEvery time at night or when it's dark, there's this tiny red light that apears on top of my iphone, near the speaker. It's quite scary. Is there something wrong..

Yes, it is a proximity sensor. If your iPhone is unlocked and you hold the phone up to your ear, you will find that Siri comes on - this is triggered by that proximity sensor.

HT4528 Why is there a little red light next to my speaker in the front by the camera ?

You see a red light , you see it a lot more in the dark and it fades and comes back and it's right but the speaker underneath the camera in the front .

I mean I'm using it or like texting or anything I don't always have it on my face like a call, and yet it still shows.

Internal speakers suddenly will not unmute. My headphones work, and there is a red light coming from the headphone jack

I put my volume on mute a few weeks ago, and I don't know if I have used it again since then or not, but now the volume will not unmute. There is a red light glowing out of the headphone jack. Sound through headphones works. I've tried updating and restarting my computer. Help?

No, not forceful - gentle.
A PRAM-reset might also help:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Try this a few times.

There is a red light...

There is a red light coming from my headphone port and sound will only come when they are plugged in and not through the speakers in the Mac. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have researched the whole subject and the closest thing to my case is one with a red light. I tried the toothpic manoevre suggested by pany with no results. Please help me.

I'm on the phone with my Husband and I take the phone from my face and there is this red light. It's creepy, when I put my headphones in it went away.

You might be seeing the proximity sensor. It is how the phone tells when it's near your face and blanks the screen so you don't accidentally touch things with your cheek. It's near the front facing camera.

On my iphone 5 near the front camera theres a tiny red dot on what does that mean

It is probably one of the proximity sensors or the auto brightness sensor.

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

Sound isn't working on my MBP and there is no red light

Ok, so today my sound suddenly stopped working and i have no idea why. I looked for a red light in the headphone hole and i see nothing. I tried turning the sound up (not all the way) and nothing happened. I also tried doing it in settings...nada. When i try changing the sound there is no weird sign on the sceen either. I don't know what to do and i was hoping someone did.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers.
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Won't charge and there is no red light

All,
I know this won't-charge thing has been repeated asked and answered but I don't see my specific situation mentioned before.
My 64GB playbook was bought last yr and worked smoothly till last week then battery suddently dropped to 10%. After a few reboot, it dropped again to 0%. And when I pressed the power button, the red light did flash.
So I hooked up with the default wall charger for 1 day. no charge. and the red light was GONE as well.
Now the PB is completely dead. When I plug in the wall charger, NOTHING happens. NO red light.
So I bought an official rapid charger from Amazon, hooked up for 1 day. nothing happens.
Press power button + Volume Up/Down for 20 sec, nothing happened.
The only thing I haven't tried is to hook up with laptop using the USB cable. I lost mine a while back and just ordered one from Amazon.
Anyone had similar problem?

If it's out of guarantee try the battery clip reconnect here. http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/PlayBook-Turn-on-but-won-t-charge/m-p/192...

Why do I have a moon at the top of my iphone?

There is a half moon shape at the very top of my iphone screen. Anybody know why?

You have "Do Not Disturb" on. Look in your System Preferences > Do Not Disturb. And be advised there is quite a nice iOS 6 / iPhone 5 users guide available within the iBooks App on your iPhone ...or you can download this PDF Guide on your computer.

Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
thanks v much!

It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue. The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.
Ciao.

Why is there a big red X on one frame of my FCPX export?

I exported this twice and both times on ONE frame there is a giant red X over the frame. This wasn't there in FCPX, just in the export. Why? How do we fix this?

You should be posting this in Final Cut Pro X forum, located here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x
but an X like that is usually the result of applying an effect, that has not been fully licensed, to the clip, so the effect applies a watermark X.
