Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up           
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likey a bad digitizer

  • I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years.  All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location.  But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. Help.

    Hi,
    Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives?

  • I'm at a gym where I can plug my ipod into the machines to listen to music and save the battery, it worked fine and all of a sudden, it is showing not supported, other peoples still work.

    I am at a gym where each machine has a port for ipods so you can listen to music through the machine and not run your battery down.  My worked fine for two months now all of a sudden, it is showing "not supported" and no longer works.  Anything I can reset on my ipod to get this working again?

    Have you tried using a different cable?  Try cleaning out the iPod's dock connector port making sure that it is clean and clear of debris as well as free of damage to the pins.

    Hey aj5c,
    Let's see if resetting Safari helps the issue:
    Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): Reset Safari

    For best results, make sure all of the options are checked.
    Thanks,

  • I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days?

    I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?

  • All of a sudden today, airport is not recognizing the WEP password.

    I've restarted it, and computer / iphones... Double checked the WEP. Still not connecting. Help?

    You probably just need to do a "hard reset" and use the Airport Utility to just set it back up again. Its a wizard so it's really easy. It'll see your Airport isn't set up after you reset it and tell you you need to configure it.
    To hard reset, simply unplug Airport, hold thumb tack or paperclip into small reset hole on back and hold reset button down WHILE you plug the power back in. KEEP HOLDING RESET until light flashes several times. Viola!

  • All of a sudden certain sites will not download pdf files; they work fine on Internet Explorer

    This started happening a few months ago; I have two W7 laptops and same problem on both; Thoughts?

    Firefox has a setting for what to do with PDFs. The options include displaying it in a Firefox tab using a built-in viewer or the Adobe PDF viewer, or opening it using an external application such as Adobe Reader, or just saving the file. It sounds like you may want to experiment with that setting. This article will get you started: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]].
    The settings file that stores those choices sometimes becomes corrupted. In that case, the standard medicine is to remove the file and have Firefox generate a new one with default settings. If you find that Firefox ignores your selections in Options, then here is how you would do that:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again. If desired, using the History menu to Restore Previous Session so you can pick up where you left off.
    By default, PDFs should now display in the built-in viewer. Does it work?

  • I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your reply.  I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years.  The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import.  Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera.  However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing.  So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years.  I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

    I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

    Try this:
    Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
    Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
    Apply this.

  • All of a sudden, my folios do not preview on the iPad

    I have successfully developed an app that is live in the Apple App store. (FYI) Yesterday, all of a sudden my folios would not preview on the iPad. The message said that I had to have Adobe Content Viewer open on the device, which I have open, but it will only preview to the desktop. I checked the cables, I've uninstalled Indesign. Reinstalled, updated the DPS tools, restarted, trashed preferences. I don't know what to do now. Everything was going smoothly until yesterday. What gives?

  • All of a sudden my ical will not allow me to add events through the monthly view mode.

    All of a sudden my ical wil not allow me to add events throught the monthly display mode.  I ahve to go the the daily or the weekly mode.

    Hi John,
    Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
    Is there anything else you can suggest?
    Thanks again,
    Susan

  • - all of a sudden today when we turn on the tv, apple tv is not coming up- just the itunes logo and a picture of a usb cable. What is wrong?

    - all of a sudden today when we turn on the tv, apple tv is not coming up- just the itunes logo and a picture of a usb cable. What is wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

    Well, I kinda figured that was true, so I disabled it. Firefox does not lock up now. I suspect it might be a Google Finance page graph that is causing the problem, rather that Flash. Thanks for all your help. J
