And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I still never get used to this: even though I only browse my music by artist, I really have to search for an album I want through the 'albums' list if I only want that one to play, instead of it playing every album after that from the artist? There has to be a way to search by artist and play just the album I select.

Go to the music app. Click on "More". Then click "Edit".
After that you can drag the Album view icon to the main row at the bottom.

I need some help. My phone's settings have seemingly gone haywire and I keep getting this super annoying notification about emails. I have all of my email accounts set to manual. I have deleted and reinstalled all of my email accounts, but this screen keeps popping up.
I also have email notifications turned off. I have gotten this screen about 100 times in the past 24 hours, even when I have no new emails. And when I do get new emails, I have to push "dismiss" one time for each email that I receive. What the heck happened?
Also, I'm in Japan so that's why there's a bit of Japanese there. That's not part of the problem.

This looks like a flash SMS. I would talk to your carrier about it.

No. I want a grid of album art instead of a list of album titles in my music app
That looks terrible
It should look like this.

That sounds about right. Is there any way to find out where they are coming from? After doing some Googling, it looks like they're basically spam, and most of them have some kind of message content. The ones I've been getting aren't advertising anything and they have no message content. Who the heck would be sending them.
I'll check with my provider tomorrow, but I'm fairly certain they'll just tell me they have no idea. The staff at Softbank here in Japan are worthless.

You'll need to disable those in your My Softbank settings. It should be under your Mail settings there.
I had the problem that when these notifications arose, they would leave the screen on, regardless of my 3-minute lock. I had one that I got in the middle of the night that nearly ran the battery down by leaving the screen active. Annoying.
Oh, and while you're checking your My Softbank settings, make sure to turn the spam filter on if it isn't.
is it out there yet? That happens to me a while back right after the official launch here in Canada but it vanished again shortly.

Oh yeah, you're right. That would look a lot better on the iPad app.

Thanks a ton! That seemed to have done the trick. It's only been an hour since I changed the settings, so we'll see. Yeah, mine also left the screen on indefinitely and also prevented my alarm from going off! Potentially dangerous stuff.
Ironic since it's a system meant to alert of dangerous stuff.

This is the only reason that I jailbroke iOS 6, and the only thing that I started missing moving to iOS 7.

I kind of want a Pebble.
I seem to be having an issue with embedded YouTube videos on my 5s, every time I press play, this happens
For whatever reason, if I go to the YT websites, it will play, but it is really annoying to have to do that every time, google seemed to indicate that it was an issue with cookies, but didn't really offer any help other than deleting browsing history for it to work 1 time...

what can I do about random apps not producing sound? Tiny DeathStar, Vine and Instagram for example. They work when I've got headphones plugged in though.
Are you sure that the mute switch isn't on?
There are actually two sound settings, one is alerts and one is app sound.
Sometimes app sounds follow the mute switch behaviour sometimes they don't.
Also check your volume. Volume has different settings, or alert/ app and headphones.
Your headphone volume and speaker volume are two different things.
Hi GAF.
I'm about to buy my first iPad ever. I'm going for the Retina.
I know this is asked almost weekly here, so I'll be that dude who asks again. There's so much content about the "Must Have Apps" that I don't know which websites to trust. I have an Android and the browsers that I love the most are the ones "no one" uses or recommend, etc.
I would like apps recommendation for:
News
Translator / Dictionary (one specialized in Korean would be great)
SImple but effective photo editor
One app where I can write over pictures, like giving someone directions on a map
Is there anything better than Evernote for iPad? It is possible to sync with android phone?
PDF reader
App that keeps track of my expenses
Some app where I can catalog places (usually restaurants) that I visit (Evernote?)
Podcasts / mp3 management or player
Email app
I think that's it for now.
Thanks in advance!

I use google translate on my iPhone. Works for me. I hear that iTranslate is also really good. Not sure how good either of them are for Korean though.

I realize that but only certain apps aren't working.
Context sensitive.
Works for me (swipes), with Match turned on.
Works in Song/Album/Artists views for me.
It's actually fading the screen behind it, not dimming the display, but I get your meaning. I've been happy with auto-adjust after a little nudge in a dim living room to take the edge off the brightnessI haven't touched it since.

I bought a wireless router a couple of months ago to compensate for the awful signal strength in my apartment, but I'm having issues and are pretty close to smashing something.
My iPhone keeps losing connection to the network. It'll show the wifi signal as connected, but in reality it is not connected at all. When I go to the wifi screen and press my network, I get a "Cannot connect to network" message. The only way to fix this is to reset my router but I'm getting pretty tired of having to reset my router 3 times a day.
Can anyone help me? I already reset all the network settings on my phone, but to no avail. I can't fathom what can possibly be causing this.

I get this. I reset the router.
See it might not be an actual issue with your phone as opposed to just a slight incompatibility with the router. Such is the nature of networking - you never really know.
For example it could be that the router is not interpreting the iPhone connection properly and dropping or confusing its up address. Is it a fault of the iPhone? Maybe, maybe not. Could be that iPhone is following new standards and the router is not - works fine with other devices, but weirds up with the iPhone. So which is at fault in that situation?
But yeah, I get it too sometimes and it has always been a router issue for me. It's like my router is too underpowered for all my devices and gets confused. One thing that actually helped me I THINK (again who knows with networking) was to offload DNS routing from the router and letting all my devices do it itself by using DNS settings on the device.
Your mileage may vary. In fact, with networking it probably will. Good luck.
Other things you can try is changing channels on the router, security settings, response timing etc.
Actually the security is a good one. Try turning off all security to see if you get the issue or not or at least downgrading it. It's not a solution, but it could give you some information on where the issue lies.

7.0.4 is out.
This. Can't believe it took this long.

I don't know why, but Safari under ios 7.0.3 on iPhone 5s doesn't save my GAF-login or I just can't login at all. It only happens in Safari on the iPhone, but not on the PC. What could that be?
Private mode enabled, check in the new tab menu (it'll be black and the button would be filled).

people use ibooks?
whats the benefit over kindle or other ebook sellers?

I've used it occasionally for DRM-free stuff. I'm not buying books for it though. (I'm not buying Kindle books either, generally, despite being a Paperwhite fan, because I'm not keen on locking myself into one company's ecosystem like that.)

I personally just use it for PDF's.
Have you tried clearing your history? Maybe the search as you start to type is recalling something from history that's causing the crash?
That was it, can't believe I didn't think of that! Thanks a lot

For some reason, Bluetooth keeps turning itself on. I don't use it and keep having to turn it back off. Thankfully that's east now, but I don't understand why it keeps doing it.
This happens to me a lot, the icon that enables BT is right below where I swipe to close the quick menu so I accidentally hit it all the same. It's kinda annoying.
Did you just update to 7.0.4? BT is on by default after every update due to AirDrop.
