Try the standard trouble-shooting steps: Restart, Reset, Restore. If these don't solve the issue then you may have a hardware probem. If so, contact Apple Support.
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
Restore: Use iTunes on your computer to Restore your iPhone to as new.

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider, let go of the buttons.

Regarding Safari; (screen goes crazy when I press the Top Sites bottom)
Regarding Safari; When I open safari everything works fine, but when I press the top sites bottom, the screen goes crazy for a second and then goes to the top sites. It is not fading or dimming from one screen to the other like it use to do. any sugestions. Thanks
Nope, it isn't normal, but I don't know the cause. You might have better luck posting in the Safari forum:

My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately, even when i touch the screen? Apps seem to work fine but no backlight. Tried updating the Ipod, Tried Resetting the Ipod, Tried turing it off then on, Tried recharging... still no repair?
I restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
What s the option button you are talking about. No such button is described in the Ipod Users Guide. -
Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row!
What should I do?Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.
You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

My macbook pro doesn't turn on. The battery is charged but the screen stays black when I press the power button. Anybody has a solution for me please?
Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button? This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.
This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me... -
My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are. -
I have just updated my MBP 17 / retina display to Maverick OS. I am unable to shutdown or log off. When i press the shutdown button, a black screen appears which goes off on pressing any key. The shutdown or log off dialog does not appear. Your kind help is much appreciated.
The button response has changed.
Short press : sleep
Medium press (2-3 sec) : restart, shutdown, sleep dialog
Long press : force shutdown. (Same as before) -
Help, my iphone 5 is locked and will not function! I've turned it off and on and it has the same fault. What ever you press on the screen highlights with a box round it. When you press the round button with the square in the centre the voice on the phone tells you the time. Then the voice says screen lock. If I try and unlock the phone the voice says phone unlock but you can't put the code in. If you hight the box it will say the number but not put the code in?! What's the crack?
Quickly Triple tap the home button to de-activate VoiceOver.

Working in Live View When I press the zoom button to focus I get a white screen with a 5x or a 10x written. I don't get the zoom picture. It just started doing this today and I've been using it for years. Any help? Thank you. OH I have a 450D (rebel xsi)
Solved!
Go to Solution.Which camera model?
Also, what are your exposure settings? Canon DSLRs do exposure simulation in live-view. So if the settings would result in an over-exposure you might be cropping in to view an all white area.
