iOS: iOS App Store Not working

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 00:44:17 -0700

My iOS App Store doesn’t download or update apps. When I try it starts loading then it says app can’t download or failed please try again.

it’s really frustrating as I can’t download apps I need or update ones I’m using.

I have tried to log out and log in into App Store. I have restarted. I have made sure all the settings are right.

iOS: How to test proximity sensor on iOS 13.1.3

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 16:43:04 -0700

Hi,

I have repaired some phones now and have realized that the proximity sensor can’t be tested anymore with iOS 13.1.3 with the voice memo app. Apple have removed this function now.

Does anyone have an other quick and easy way to test the proximity without using any apps or have to connect the phone to any diagnostics program? And without having to call any one too.

It was so easy earlier with the voice memo test.

iOS: "Ghost" songs on my phone that I can't delete.

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 20:23:32 -0700

I have .mp3 files on my iPhone that I can’t delete. They won’t show up on iTunes on my Windows laptop, and if I try to put any new music/replace that music it just shows up as duplicates that I can’t tell apart.

iTunes will recognize that the songs are taking up storage space but won’t actually show me the songs so I can delete them. I’ve tried syncing with nothing in my library and they still won’t go away.

What do I do? I need them off so I can put fixed versions/new music on my phone.

iOS: iOS/Android factory reset - lost credentials

Fri, 20 Sep 2019 07:45:56 -0700

This is a generic question relating to both iOS and Android.

This morning I attended as a helper a “Tea and Tech” session as a helper where members of the public were invited to get free help with their computers, phones or tablets.

One elderly getleman I tried to help had an old (2010) iPad which had been given to him some time previously by cousin’s grandson. But he had no idea of the password to the iCloud account it was linked to, making it impossible to install an app which might have solved his problem. For family reasons he was no longer in touch with his cousin or cousin’s grandson.

For obvious reasons, iOS (later versions, at least) make it extremely difficult or impossible to simply factory reset a stolen device but there are times when a factory reset without full credentials may be required. I’m not an iOS expert (though I use an iPhone) and my knowledge of Android is sparse. For future reference, perhaps someone(s) could list the reset possibilities for:

iOS/Android

Different versions of both

With/without knowledge of the lock screen PIN (if set)

With/without knowledge of an associated iCloud or Google account

Let’s not get into jailbreaking or anything nefarious.

iOS: My iPad a sign on to a Google profile that's not mine

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 16:51:30 -0700

I was having trouble typing emails in my outlook account. The keyboard kept disappearing each time I touched a letter. So I signed out, with the intention of then signing back in but someone else's profile was there. A Outraged Surfer, with the address surfersagainstchildabuse@facefood.com. That's not a typo that's what it said, for a Google account. I don't have a Google account. What I do manages is a Facebook page called Surfers Against Child Abuse. The only other people to use my iPad are a 3 and 7 year old. Completely convinced they are not capable of setting up an email account. Any ideas how this got on my iPad. Apples response not at all reassuring that I haven't been hacked.
