My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode
See here

Then restore

I am having trouble with the touch screen. When I press - on the glass surface sometimes it doesn't respond back. I updated my software.

having problem with the apple tv, because it still setting date and time and dont finish w the activation
That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. Go to settings - general - network and ensure DNS is set to automatic. Check that your router is up to date. If on wifi try Ethernet.

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?
It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard. -
HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N". I HAVE CONNECTED A NEW KEYBOARD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
You might look at "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane and see if somehow the lower case n has been inadvertently assigned to something.
Probably the best solution would be to click the "Restore Defaults" button. -
Why my ipad have problem with the rotation screen
i have a problem with the rotation screen is locked, i try everything but nothing is happening help
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset 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 button -

I'm glad you had luck with this. I have the same issue, and i've replaced the droid turbo 4 times. I've tried it on 4 or 5 different wifi networks and it doesn't give me any type of speed at all.

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows
I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes. I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good. I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed. Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?
Did you do everything here:

Including
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

My iPod nano 3rd gen went mad then all the songs were gone can I get them back
My iPod nano 3rd gen wiped all my music can I recover it
If it's no longer in iTunes or stored in a backup anywhere, I"m afraid you are out of luck.
For music purchased in iTunes, you can redownload it again no cost via iCloud if you live in a country where this service has gone live. See this article for more details.

As for music imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to rerip those into iTunes if at all possible.

has anyone had trouble with the touch pad on the macbook pro not working properly. I have to click it 3 or 4 times befre it responds. Can these be replaced?
Your MacBook Pro has enough compute power to do airframe stress analysis modeling or weather forecasting. This is not a computational issue.
Most USB printers do the imaging on the Mac, then send the stream of bits to the printer. The speed of doing this depends on the Printer driver.
Some drivers will image the page in "slices", and then pause to image the next slice after the first one completes. This may also depend on whether you have enough RAM memory available to do the imaging for a whole page at a time.
You have not mentioned what Printer, or whether this is indeed the latest driver for it. -
I recently updated my phone software to iOS 6.1.3 and for the first couple of weeks, it was ok. but then until monday, the option to turn on the wi-fi has been greyed out so I can't turn my phone's wi-fi on which means I have to keep using my 3G coverage which will eventually cost me a fortune if I don't get the wi-fi greyed out problem sorted out as soon as possible. If anybody could help me with this problem (without having to take it apart or putting it into the freezer) please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks
alexmac92 xI have seen a few searches that indicate some people have had success by changing their wifi security settings. Using none (not recommended) or using WPA2 with a strong pass phrase (longer than 8 characters) seems to work for everyone I've talked to. I've not had this issue myself on any of my devices (2 iPhone 4, 2 iPhone 5, 2 iPad 2, all running iOS 6.1.3, and 2 iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1), but then again, my home wifi has had a strong pasphrase, and WPA2 for 7-8 years now. I beleive that some people have had luck with performing a reset of network settings (but others have not, and claimed that it actually made things worse some how). Some have had luck performing a device restore in iTunes, while others have claimed that did nothing but cause them to lose everything.
I know there is so much wifi congestion in my neighborhood that it is hard to find a channel that doesn't already have 2-3 routers using it. It is possible that resetting your wifi router might help. I know that when my iPhone wouldn't connect to my wireless network, it would usually clear up if I restarted the router. -

I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.
I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.
