  • IPhone does not connect to new Macbook Air 2013

    Greating from Brazil,
      I have an iPhone 4 and have always used to the USB cable to connect it to my macs. It works perfectly fine in onther 4 macbooks: one macbook white 2007, one macbook pro 2010 and a macbook air 2012.
      Now I have the brand new macbook air 2013 and the iPhone is the only USB device I can not connect to it (all my external hard drives, wireless headphone work just fine). What happens is that when I connect the iPhone, it repeatly plays the sound as if it was connected, then it plays the sound as if it was disconnected.
      What could I do to make it work?
    Thanks
    Gilson

  • Why would I want Windows on my new MacBook Air?

    I have a beautiful new MacBook Air and I'm running through all the Updates etc.  Then I see Bootcamp which is supposed to help me install Windows.  My question is, why would I want windows?  Are there things that Windows can do that Mac can't do?  Or do I just need to learn what the equivalents are of the old windows programs in my new operating system eg in windows i would use explorer to search the web - on my mac i use safari - are there equivalents to microsoft word and publisher and powerpoint just in Mac language and what are they called?

    .  My question is, why would I want windows? 
    I have no idea why anyone would.
    Are there things that Windows can do that Mac can't do?
    No.
    are there equivalents to microsoft word and publisher and powerpoint just in Mac language and what are they called?
    You can buy Microsoft Office for the Mac, but you should consider a number of better alternatives to Microsoft's bloatware. Some are free.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
    OpenOffice (donation-supported)
    Numbers ($19.99)
    Keynote ($19.99)
    Pages ($19.99)
    I use Numbers and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Why will Flash Player not work on my Macbook Air?

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player when i got my Macbook in Dec 2011, and until now it has worked fine. Today I downloaded Adobe Reader to view a PDF file, but I decided I preferred the Apple Preview, so I deleted the Adobe Reader off my system. I then tried to listen to a radio station online which requires Flash Player and it stated that I did not have the Flash Player on my laptop. I then tried to download Adobe Flash Player again to my laptop, and the download appeared to have worked but when I try to use websites like YouTube it asks for me to download Flash Player. Can you tell me why this is? And how to get Adobe Flash Player back on my Mac and for it to work again.

    When I open Task Manager the only thing I see is "Tasks".  I do not see the Processes tab.  I have seen this in the past along with measures of other activity, but not anything now.  I tried the Start/Search - nothing about Processes.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.

  • Why isn't my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop on my itunes that i have downloaded

    I do not understand why my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop that I got for Christmas. It did for a while and now its not. My itunes is up to date and so is my phone and ipod. Why isn't my itunes finding/syncing my ipod and iphone?!

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my Wi-Fi network and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router

    Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my wi-fi with a password and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router?  Is there a setting on my router that would avoid this issue.  All my other devices connect alright

    OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"
    -No security
    -WEP
    -Reset network,
    -Complete reset and reload on the phone
    -ETC ETC ETC
    Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.
    Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly.

  • Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

  •  Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

     Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

    1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
    2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
    3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
    4. Any of about a dozen other things.
    As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.
