Place the iOS device in recovery mode using this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
http://jaxov.com/2010/05/recboot-iphone-recovery-mode/and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
Enter DFU mode without home button or Power Button | technoNix
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes! I am current with software on both my computer and my iphone 5s. Now when I hook it up to my computer it still keeps asking me if I trust the computer and it won't connect to Itunes?
DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

my phone was connected to itunes not even a week ago, and now it wont show up. it will on my actual computer, just not on itunes, i mean i've done everything i can to fix it, but it doesnt work. helllllpppppp
I'm am assuming you are using a windows PC. If so these steps may help you tremendously. Step 5 is usually the culprit.

we have had to reset our computer so any info on there is also erased. my daughter is in tears and I am frustrated. I have tried the basic technical support of resetting (holding the power button and the home key for 10 seconds, etc) nothing is working and we can not connect to itunes.
Here are Apple's instructions for placing the iPod in recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
You will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since yu do not have a backup. Yu can redownload some iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

I have it configured for voltage modulation, channel 0, and I am testing Ix0+ and Ix0-. To run it, I am right-clicking on the function and clicking "test". What's wrong?
thanks, Alex Millie
[email protected]Ix0(+/-) are make the excitation current. You can see this in figure 4-1 in the user manual. You can see the output voltage from the MIO card by looking at the voltage from terminal 23 to terminal 20 (channel 0) and terminal 23 to terminal 21 (channel 1). You can see this pinout on page 3-5 of the SC-2042-RTD user manual.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
I have been using the xfinity ap for some time with no problem. Now every time I open the ap it shuts down. I have updated software, reset, done a sync, rebooted to no avail any ideas
My Xfinity App does the same thing. Hope they are coming out with a app update.

my iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?
Is it the Home button that doesn't work, or the Power (Sleep/Wake) button? If the Power button works, you can switch it off. Not sure how you have been able to do anything without the Home button working?
Cheers,

on my macbook my one button delete botton sound buttons and escape doesnt work i updated everything and it still doesnt work what do i do
Unless somebody else has a micracle workaround I don't know. Probably get the phone in for repair since it has been living on borrowed time so far and now you absolutely must have a working button.
