Hi, I have just tried downloading the Facebook app, but the app store has frozen. It will not let me click on anything. Shall I try turning it all off and back on again? Or is there something else I need to do.
Thanks, Rebecca

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have been waiting for about an hour waiting for an email back form apple. I forgot my security questions.

We're all just your fellow users here. You'll need to wait until you get the email.

Hi,
Check the installation and the system permission of your machine and check if the version is Beta 2 or Beta 3. What's for a Service Pack is on your Machine.
By the installation from IE7 is a eventually possible a Installation from MS Defender. Check it.
Make it a reinstallation from IE7 and make a new Installation.

I turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn back on and asks for mobile data or wifi to be on but my mobile data works fine! How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

I Turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn on again without saying that wifi or mobile data must be turned on, however my mobile data works fine. How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged. My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons. It worked......would be worth a shot.

I have a Seagate Freeagent 1TB external drive that ejects it's self in the middle of the time machine backup, then disappears and can't be found unless I turn it off and back on again

I have a Seagate Freeagent 1TB external drive that ejects it's self in the middle of the time machine backup, then disappears and can't be found unless I turn it off and back on again. Any ideas?

Hmmm.. sorry to jump in but...
I Wish I had seen this before I got mine.
Mine has been doing this auto eject stuff too.
I think I just plugged it in and TM let me select it but is it possible
I should have reformatted it with DU first, like with all the WD drive problems ?
Is it too late for that ?
Or just try to return it or get rid of it ?
TIA

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

Nokia Asha 303 turns off and back on again constan...

Hi,
since a few weeks, every day my phone starts to turn off and back on again by itself, and this 10-20 times. Then it works fine again for a few hours and the whole thing starts again. I've also noticed I have to recharge my phone every day.
Some help please? :-)
Thanks!

As said by Farby above, you might need to visit Nokia care centre.
Back-up important data before going to the Nokia care.
Hope this helps.

Try cleaning out the phone's connector. Else take it in to Apple, you have a 1 year warranty.

I keep getting an error 05 code on my t31 and turning the camera off and back on does not work.

I keep getting an error code 05 when I try to use certain modes on my Rebel T3i. It seems as though my auto flash is stuck. Is this a common complaint....and if so.....what is the answer to deal with this issue. I have followed the instructions of turning the camera off and back on....to no avail. HELP!!

Hi Hydra171,
The Error 5 error code indicates a malfunction in the popup flash mechanism.
If this is not cleared by turning the camera off, then on, your camera will require service to correct this issue.
You may set up the repair for your camera here.

See if your Mac will boot from the install DVD.
Then uninstall Internet Cleanup.

I've paid my past due bill, and turned the phone off and back on, why isn't my service restored?

How long ago did you pay the bill? Has the payment cleared? It may take up to a couple of hours after the payment clears until service is restored.
Unless you are in the area that is having service issues. There is an area where service is down.

I am looking at an incomplete green status bar. I turned the computer off and back on. The status bar is stuck at 1/3.

I shut my mac down 1 week ago. Apparently, it chose to restart. I am looking at an incomplete green status bar. I turned the computer off and back on. The status bar is stuck at 1/3. What can I do? I have no time machine backups.

If your iMac is Intel base, resetting SMC as well as NVRAM(PRAM) could solve the problem.

TS3367 When I try to activate y FaceTime, I get "An error occurred during activation. Try again." I have a good password, I'm on wifi, I've tried toggling off and back on again... why can't I get FaceTime to work?

When I try to activate my FaceTime, I get an error msg that says, "An error occurred during activation. Try again." I have a good password (I used it to get here...); I'm on WiFi; I've toggled FT off and back on again but I cannot get past the error message and get activated. What's wrong? Thanks. Talking about my iPhone (4).

Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before? If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds. Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on. Then try it again. Let me know what the results are.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
Why is this? My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

I do not know if this will help.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2. Hurry do not wait.
