Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • My ver. 2.0.0.17 of Firefox wouldn't start and gave me an error that said "couldn't find applications.ini so I reloaded it and it upgraded to ver. 2.0.0.20.

    My ver. 2.0.0.17 of Firefox suddenly, without warning, wouldn't start and gave me an error that said "couldn't find applications.ini and trying to start it in "safe mode" didn't work either, so I reloaded it... then it worked and it upgraded me to ver. 2.0.0.20.
    Is this a common problem with just that version, or across the board?
    I also downloaded version 3.6.3, will that suddenly have the same problem? Is there a quick fix if that happens again?
    I have Win XP Home.

  • Imac G5 stuck on white loading screen with gray apple and spinning wheel

    I purchased this imac from a rebutable seller on ebay. He obviously had it working before he sent it to me, and he has been helpfull the whole way through, so I am positive this computer is not junk. When I recieved it, I plugged it in and turned it on, at first nothing would show up on the screen and the fans came on. Then, I contacted the seller and he told me to hold the shift key while turning it on. That did work to some extent. Now when I turn it on, it is stuck on the white screen with the gray apple and the spinning wheel. He had just updated and installed EVERYTHING imaginable so I am positive everything is up to date. I am not sure what to do, I have researched this but I cannot seem to find an answer. Oh, and even know on the white screen the fans turn on. It is quite weird.
    Well, I hope someone can help. Thank you.

    Call AppleCare. You should not be having problems with a brand-new machine.

  • I ended up with 3 Apple IDs over time.  How can I get it down to one account?

    I ended up with 3 Apple IDs over time.  When I sink my iPad, some apps won't sync because the app was purchased under a different account? 
    How can I get it down to one account and be able to sync all of my iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) on my iPad and iPhone?
    This is driving me crazy!  grrrr.   :-)
    I have .me; .mac and .icloud accounts.

    Thanks.  I was afraid of that.  Darn Apple....we use Apple products because they are elegant and easy to use, why can't apple simplify the ID issues???   :-)
    Thanks for the reply.

  • TS1363 while updating my IOS to IOS 6 the updating process couldn't be completed for unknown reason and my iphone has nothing but a black screen with an apple and a meter that shows no progess. it completely froze!

    When updating my IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 6 and after the download completed the updating of the iphone couldn't be completed for unknown error and the device froze and all i have now is a black screen with an apple and a meter that shows no progress I can't switch off my iphone or do anything!!!

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem last week with my nice shiny 3 week old iPhone 6. I noticed the Apple logo was on the screen, but it did not progress like a normal boot up. I restarted the phone, and it showed the Apple logo, then a red screen then cycled back to the logo and kept looping. I got the phone to the iTunes connection stage by keeping hold of the power button and the home button until the apple logo appeared then kept holding the home button. iTunes recognised the phone, and wanted to restore, but this was unsuccessful  because the phone would keep looping to the red screen and iTunes failed. After loads of Apple support, I was told it was a hardware failure, and like you I live more than an hour away from the store. None the less, I made an appointment with the Genius bods, and they replaced the phone. They said they had never heard of the problem, but really, take a look at these forums and you will see that it is a common problem and I suspect they are keeping it under wraps...
    My issue is that as a disappointed customer with faulty goods, why should i have to stick to an appointment to get it replaced? What other store would you have to do this?
    The "Genius" didn't even want to see the phone powered up before offering a replacement... Oh, and it turned out they didn't have the exact same model as a replacement so they were going to send me out of the store empty handed.... I kicked off BIG time, and they very reluctantly gave me a phone from the sales stock, rather than the repairs stock..
    Not a happy Apple customer anymore, and I feel the more people who know about the lack of service and customer care the better. They need to get off there high horse and join the real world!

  • I have gone out of my way to buy an iPad 2 and you're telling me that I cannot have Siri, as you know iPad's are expensive, and you'd expect the newest updated whenever available. I am not a happy customer and will not but from Apple again.

    If you want to use the "newest updated whatever available." then you would have to buy the newest hardware that supports that. iPad 2 is not the newest hardware available and it can't/does not support siri.

  • HT1766 Can the iPad 1 (the original) be updated to current iOS? I cannot figure out any way to update it's software so I can use newer apps

    I'm trying to update the software on the original iPad.  Cannot figure it out.. Can it be done at all? If so how?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

    Hello lucky3480;
    I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
    Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
    Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.
