  • Why doesn't my IPhone connect with my YouTube? Yeah my iPhone is experiencing difficulties. I just created a YouTube and gmail account. And it works on safari but when I try to sign into the app it won't let me. It just claims that it's an invalid username or password. But i know I'm not typing it in wrong because it signs me in with the same info in safari >.< what do I do?
  • Why doesn't my right headphone doesn't make sound? I have the iPhone 7 EarPods (not the Bluetooth ones ) They were working just fine until one day I realized that there was no sound coming out of the right side. I already cleaned it but doesn't work. How do I fix this?
  • Why doesn't my iPhone 6s doesn't have night shift? When I go into settings and then into brightness there's no option for it! My phone is completely updated The title was worded badly on my part but you know what I mean
  • Why doesn't my IPhone 4s want to connect to the home Wi-Fi? I got it today and tried connecting it to the house Wi-Fi and it doesn't tell me i have the wrong password or anything it just has the little circle next to it like its connecting but it does not really connect, at least i don't think it does cause it doesn't say connected. I have an ipad 2 connected to the Wi-Fi and it works perfectly I tried erasing all the data to that Wi-Fi, turning it off and then entering the password again and it still doesn't work:/
