Fix for Wi-Fi Syncing & Wireless iOS Devices Not Showing Up in iTunes

The solution for wireless syncing not working and devices not showing up is almost always just to kill the Apple Mobile Device Helper process, both in OS X or Windows.

Fix for Mac OS X

Launch ?Activity Monitor? (found in /Applications/Utilities/

Select that process and then click the red ?Quit Process? button

Leave Activity Monitor and then relaunch iTunes

Confirm the process is to be killed

Fix for Windows

Hit Control+Alt+Delete to summon the task manager then choose the ?Service? tab

Locate ?Apple Mobile Device? OR ?AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe? (depends on Windows version)

Right-click and restart the service, or select it and choose ?End Process?

Relaunch iTunes again to find the iOS device visible via wi-fi

Remember, you just want to restart the process either manually or by killing it, you do not want to disable the Apple Mobile Device service completely or else your iPhone or iPad will never show up.

Tips To Save Battery On Your iPhone

iPhone & iPod

All iPhones are powered by a battery, and run from a hard drive. When the hard drive is processing information then it will spin, using power from the battery. This is applicable to all the iPod and iPhone models, including Touch, Nano and Classic. If you are finding that your power is going to quickly on your iPhone or iPod then you can benefit from following some of the very simple tips below.

Using the backlight effectively
Set your backlight to register for just a few seconds after usage. There is no need to have your backlight on for 30 seconds after you put the phone down, so adjust this one straight away. You can do this immediately by selecting the backlight timer from the iPod / i Phone menu settings. There are options for you to choose exactly how long you want your backlight to stay on for, and you can even remove in daylight altogether if not needed. You will be amazed how much battery you save by doing this. Far too often the main reason for quick battery loss is due to the backlight timer being on for too long.

Do NOT use .WAV or .AIFF music formatts
These files are far too large, and will normally result in your iphone skipping tracks and get your hard drive spinning frantically. If you avoid these then youwill have more free space, and better efficiency when playing music - therefore saving battery.

Locking your i Phone / i Pod
Do not underestimate how much power can be saved by using the sleep and wake buttons. Make sure that you lock your device every time that you are not using it. As with the back light you can go into the menu setting and if desired you are able to make these functions work automatically by selecting auto lock and choosing the length of time your phone should not be in use before changing to sleep mode. It is recommended that you do this as soon as possible.

Listening to Music Efficiently
Now that you know what files not to use when playing music (AIFF and WAV), you can continue to be more efficient! How many times have you been listening to music with your headphones only to remove then for a few minutes because someone enters a room and starts a conversation with you. Now, how many times have you removed the headphones and not thought to hit the "PAUSE" button to stop the track. By hitting the pause button you can save so much battery, especially if you are working in a busy office where you are being approached on a regular basis.
Get yourself some good headphones so that you do not need to set the volume to maximum.

Setting up Good Playlists
Playlists are usually created and then when it comes to playing them we find ourselves skipping through lots of songs in order to get to 1 that we want to hear. Most of the time half the songs on your playlists will not even get played! Take into consideration that skipping tracks and stopping songs etc takes uo much more battery as the hard drive is being stopped and started and does not process the information continuously. Make sure that your playlists are good so that you can avoid skipping away, and attract battery saving!

iPhone & iPod Apps
Don't leave your apps running in the background and always make sure that they are switched on when you have finished using your device. Apps can use a considerable amount of the battery and space on your iphone / ipod.

cant open I photo library on Mac Os 10.X

Resolution

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

If that fails:

Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

It’s Got A Screw Loose? (Well, Not A Screw) in iPhone 5

That ’s the sounds some iPhone 5 owners get when they shake their device, according to posts on the Apple.com forums/a. Some claim being told by Apple that it’s normal noise created by camera competents, other say it’s an unglued battery (the latter problem can be fixed with a trip to an Apple Store). In either case, it’s annoying, as numerous YouTube videos show .

What does the new Maps app lose compared with the old one?

A: The number one thing is Google's database. Apple Maps sources its location information from Yelp, which so far is less reliable than Google's offering. For example, in his iPhone 5 review, Scott Stein found that a search for coffee showed him only Starbucks and not a locally owned shop across the street. Also, a search for Mac repair did not turn up a business that has always showed on Google Maps. This issue should get better, but for now it's pretty bad. Losing Google's database also means you lose Street View.

How to Solve Apple Maps in iOS 6: Problems

iOS 6 is just a day old, but users are griping about Apple's new homegrown apps. Techbuddies tells you what's happening and how it affects you.

Welcome to Apple's maps
It's only been a day since iOS 6 went live, but the world has sounded with a Greek chorus of complaints over the new Maps app made by Apple.
In case you don't already know, iOS 6 makes a big change in your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch's mapping features. It removes the Google Maps app that you've long used and replaces it with Apple's home-baked mapping service. At first, you may not notice the change since the app's icon, and much of the interface looks almost the same. Once you try to use it, though, you'll see differences straightaway.

Maps woes in Apple iOS 6: How bad? (pictures)

Scroll Left Scroll Right

In our initial anecdotal testing for CNET's iPhone 5 and iOS 6 reviews, we noticed both good and bad points. On the upside, we welcomed the new turn-by-turn directions and the 3D flyover feature was lovely. Yet, we also found that search results weren't quite as robust and transit directions weren't an option at all.
It was a decent effort for a first pass, but now that Apple Maps are being crowd-tested by millions of new iOS 6 users around the world, problems are becoming more apparent. Put simply: there's plenty of icing, but the cake ain't finished baking. So where does that leave existing iOS users who want to upgrade to iOS 6 -- and prospective iPhone 5 buyers who will get it by default? In this FAQ, CNET will tell you everything that you need to know.

Q: What does the new Maps app add that the old Google app did not?
A: Most importantly, turn-by-turn directions. Up until now, you had to reply on third-party apps for that feature. Some are free, but the better ones could cost up to $40 or more. And as Android users will tell you, it's been a free integrated feature on their phones for years. So that's a big plus.
For iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and the new iPad, iOS 6 also adds 3D views and a flyover feature (with the latter it's like you're zooming over a city in a low-flying airplane). Both features are more entertaining than useful, but they pack a pretty big wow factor, at least for the first few minutes (see below).
Other little touches include the capability to physically reorient the map with two fingers and see reviews of points of interest.

Also, you totally lose mass transit directions, which always existed on Google Maps. Though there is a button with a tiny bus icon, it shows only a list of third-party transit apps (so why include the button at all?). If you already own such an app it will appear at the top of the list, and when pressed, kick you out to that app. Otherwise, you'll be directed to the iTunes App Store to download a title. That's not really helpful for a few reasons.
First off, switching to a third-party app for transit directions takes you out of the mapping feature. That means a lot of switching back and forth between the transit instructions and the map of the surrounding area (Google Maps had it all on one screen). Also, the third-party apps don't always tell how to get to the transit stop and then on to your final destination. Again, Google Maps told you the whole story.
Granted, only people who take transit will care about this feature. But the point is that Apple has removed a useful feature that you formerly got for free. Some of the third-party options are great, and they may even be better than Google Maps, but you now have to jump through an extra hoop. And more importantly, some of those other apps will cost you.

Q: Can I go back to the old Maps app?
A: Sort of. At this point, a real Google Maps app like

you used to have is not available.

But as Matt Elliott explains here, you can point your iPhone's browser to maps.google.com and get that same mapping information, complete with business listings, directions, public transit data, and even bike routes. What you're missing is street view and use of the compass to help direct you.
