My iPhone 4 is 3 years old, and recently the Flash will only work WHEN it wants to... Anyone got any ideas what I need to do? Does it need to be repaird in an Apple store? if so does anyone know roughly how much it would be? Or would a simple Restore work?
Thank you in advance for replies

Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

  • TS1389 I've purchased an album through the itunes store and every track plays except one which continually asks me to authorise my computer.  I've tried all the steps suggested above but still no joy.  Anyone have any ideas what i can do next?  Thanks  Pa

    Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
    This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
    My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac,  MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
    Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
    EX: left"
    Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
    2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
    3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
    4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
    EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
    Enjoy!

  • I have coloured vertical lines about a quarter of the way from the left of the picture when using my apple tv 2. Anyone got any idea what is causing it. Have done a reset but still same. ATV2 is only a month old.

    Just to make sure, try a different set of cables. If the problem persists, have the unit replaced by Apple.

  • I'm trying to sync Outlook calendar (office 2010?win 8) with my iphone 4s. All works well when running control panel manually but it will not run automatically after that. Anyone got any ideas

    I'm trying to sync outlook calendar and contacts via icloud control panel. Everything works when control panel is run manually but it will not run automatically after that. Anyone got any ideas

    I am having a very similar problem. Until 12 hours ago, I was using my recently replaced 4s (with iOS7) flawlessly, receiving emails and calendar info from Exchange (Outlook 2010). But starting last night, it all stopped. I have deleted and added the account several times, tried making simple changes (considering whether the username is case sensitive, or not, etc.) and cannot fix it. I have iOS 7.04. Interestingly, the first time I changed the case to lower case, it seemed to respond immediately, and downloaded many emails with no sender, no content, and with a 12/31/69 date. Yes, 1969. And then nothing happened. Help please!

  • My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

    My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
    My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

  • HT5622 iPad 3 and my sound has stopped from speakers, but can get from headphones.  It's not the side switch and the volume is max in all areas.  Anyone got any ideas, what problem is and how to fix it thanks

    Hi,
    My iPad has just stopped working with sound from the speakers, it works fine with the headphones in.  The soft mute button is not made and the volume is at max.
    Any ideas what problem is and how to sort.  Thanks

    System sounds can be muted from the software switch in the task bar as well as from the side switch depending on how you have it set up. This my boilerplate resonse for sound issues.
    1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

  • Keyboard issue I have a iMac thats about 4 years old, and now the keyboard is not working properly. some keys do not work. Any suggestions ?

    I think I may have a virus! My keyboard is not working properly. When I press the zero key, it doesn't appear. Other keys that do not work include the directional keys, delete key, and others. I tried everything that I can think of to fix it, but nothing sesems to be working. Should I bring the keyboard and=/or the entire computer into my local Apple store+? see, the +? appears before the question mark, and I didn't put it there! Thanks!

    No need to take the computer at this stage.   Just take the keyboard into your local Apple store for examination.   If you have another machine, not necessarily Apple, you could try the board on that or perhaps a friend's machine … they are largely universal.
    You do not have a virus.

  • I am unable to install firefox on my laptop, during installation an error message appears and installation stops. It also occurs when trying to install opera. Any ideas what could be wrong?

    I have ran mcafee anti-virus which has not found any viruses. Hope someone can help. Thanks

    Disable your firewall and your antivirus and try again, after successfully install, enable it again.
    thank you

  • I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it?  I don't understand flash storage.  It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with.  Help an old lady out!!!

    Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare  the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

  • I have an IMac 10.5.2 from about 5 years ago and recently my flash player stopped responding.  I tried to update my flash player but it tells me I need an updated system to install the player.  Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this problem?

    I have an imac osx 10.5.2 from about five years ago and recently my flash player stopped operating/responding.  Does anyone know if I have to install a new flash player?  I have attempted it several times and it won't let me.  I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem.  Do I need a new operating system?

    Why have you not updated to 10.5.8?
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:

  • My iPhone 3G will not turn on, but iTunes recognizes it to sync.  Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?  This was a sudden occurance-phone worked without issue before.

    This afternoon I was used my iPhone 3G.  I then put it aside (it was left on) for about an hour.  When I went to use it again, nothing happens.  The home button will not call up the lock screen.  The lock button will not turn the phone on, off, or lock it.  When I plug it into iTunes, it recognizes it to sync.  Also if someone tries to call me it will ring on their end, but nothing on my end. 
    The iPhone is over two years old (purchased in April 2009), so it is out of warranty.  Also, everything is up to date on the iPhone.
    Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
    Thank you in advance.
    Shannon

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
