    Assuming you are using OSX, connect iphone ny usb then go to system preferences. Go to network pane and scroll down to "wheel" and from the drop down select service order. If you see the iphone then drag it to the top of the list then select apply.

  • Why cant i connect to wifi on my IPad Mini

    When i put my password in my Wifi Network..
    All it does is show me the loading sign, But it never gave me the blue check mark indicating that's it's connected
    But when i try connecting to my mom's hot spot it works..
    My Ipad Mini is IOS 8.2
    i have tried resetting my network settings
    updating it to it's current IOS 8.2
    turning off my Ipad and turning it back on
    Why is that?
    and how should I fix this?

    Try resetting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the power to the router. Leave it off for at least 30 seconds then power it back on. After the router has completed its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet, turn on your iPad and try to connect again.

  • Why didn't I receive headphones with my iPad Mini?

    Normally Apple have dressed to impress, but today when I opened my iPad Mini Box. I was shocked not to find any earphones within the box...
    Why is this?

    Shocked to find out my iPhone earphones do NOT work with the mini iPad!  Now I have to go back and purchase it.
    It would have been nice if the staff could have informed me at the time of purchase!   Leaving for a flight...it would have been nice to be able to use it to listen and watch.  I was sold the wrong one to begin with...due to the sales person not listening to his associate when the sale was turned over to him, then tried to blame me for not telling him when I clearly heard my order.  I believe it should always be asked and explained when buying an iPad, wifi or wifi and cellular.  Friends I know purchased with out cellular and have huge regrets.  At least I knew both were essential for my usage, now for the earphones
    I have always loved all my apple products but lately the service has not been good.

  • Does anyone know why music from my itunes syncs with my ipad mini but not my iphone 4?

    I've repeatedly tried to sync a few playlists from my itunes to my iphone 4 but it wont work. I've successfully synced the same playlists to my ipad mini so why won't it do it for my iphone? Are there settings i've missed out? Thank you

    Do the songs play OK in iTunes?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT1351 I just logged into my applie ID and my old Ipod which I may have hooked up to my wifes account to fill with songs...now when I tie it into my computer with my apple ID I can't sync.  I go to file menu/library and the sync option is grayed out

    Can't seem to sync an version 4 ipod with an old itunes account of mine.  I may have hooked it to my wife's account.  The only option I have when going to file/library is "transfer purchased from Adam's Ipod"

    I'm not sure if the crash is or isn't related to fonts.
    Deciphering the crash long is something I don't have any experience with.
    I'm not even sure how the crash log is structured. I've downloaded two screen captures: one from the top of the adobe Photoshop crash log and one from the bottom. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can discern what may be causing the crash?
    Screen capture from the top of the Adobe Photoshop crash log:
    Screen capture from the bottom of the Adobe Photoshop crash log:
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a bunch.

  • I got rid of all 5 of our iphones because of iTunes.  I am stuck with an iPad mini and can't get it to sync more than once wirelessly without rebooting the mini and the computer (PC).

    I see hundreds of people on the internet having the same problem. Is there any cure.

    This all happening on my iMac, with most current Mavrick's OS

  • I can't receive Video Invites to Ichat with my friend and They can't see them from me.

    Ive gotten Ichat and Only have one friend in my contact list (Only friend who has  a Mac)
    We are both using a MacBook Pro 13" with Lion OSX (I think, The newest software available from Apple)
    Anyway back to the point, We cannot seem to recieve invites from one another. Our WebCam Light goes on when we try to send an invite or press that Green Camera button, But we cannot accept or see eachother. We can still chat using messages though. But we want to Video call.
    Also My internet does not have a password if this makes any difference. Its just like Wifi.
    We both have AIM Accounts and also made a Yahoo account just for experimental purposes only. It still doesn't work either way. Dont know whats wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    You should both enable UPnP as the method ot open ports in your routing device.
    If your router Blocks Pings from the Internet you should also disable this  (ichat sends s ping to confirm where the visible Invite went to is the place that is replying)

  • When I click on video it is stuck on one tv show, when I click 'done' the screen goes black so I can't access any other video that I downloaded from iTunes onto my iPad 2. How do I troubleshoot?

    The video on my iPad 2 is frozen on a tv show, although it will play the tv show until the end. At the end, when I click 'done' the screen goes black so I can't see the other movies that I've downloaded. I've shut down a few times but it reverts to the same thing. How can I re-set the video feature or do what is necessary to get it working again?

    Have you tried resetting the iPad:
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I heard that if you file share with someone on accident, they can gain access to your mac if they know the password to your mac. Could someone who I accidentally file shared with login to my mac if I did not have an admin password at the time?

    I know it was stupid to not have a computer password at the time, but I now do. Could this be possible?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    This would only happen if you choose the whole hard drive as a shared folder, and it's not. By default, OS X only sets up File Sharing in order to share files through the Public folder. You can see which folders are being shared in System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing.
    If the whole hard drive is selected as a shared folder, remove it because they can access to all your files without any password. Apart from that, there's no risk, as they can't see any other folder than the ones you chose in System Preferences > Sharing
