My computer is will not boot up. INstead its making a clicking sound and in the middle of screen picture of a file with a question mark. What does that mean?

Does anyone know what's wrong with it? not booting up. instead of it a picture of a file appears with a question mark on it in the middle of screen?

Sounds like abad hard drive. The clicking sound is coming from the HD. The folder with the question mark means that your computer can't find the statrup disk or the hard drive.
Boot your computer using the install disc and check if Disk Utility can recognize your HD. If not, then it needs HD replacement. If you have AppleCare or within the 1 year warranty, then replacement should be free from Apple. Check the nearest Apple Store in your area.

When looking at Verizon account, I found the message "your upgrade date is aligned with term of your contact", what does that mean? I want to upgrade from an Iphone 4 to 6

I need help with upgrade questions.

My account use to say the same thing. VZW used to let us upgrade every 20 months rather than 24. This ended some time ago...so now instead of being eligible to upgrade in month 20, your upgrade date has been aligned with your 24 month contract end date. Hope this info help.
I wouldn't have been able to upgrade from my iP5 to the 6+ according to the new upgrade policy until 11/20/14. But right before iP6+ pre-order date, VZW was allowing certain customers to upgrade earlier than their contract end date as long as they moved to EDGE rather than the 2 year contract. I was going to utilize EDGE anyway so it was a bonus for me as I was able to pre-order and get my iP6+ a lot sooner than having to wait until 11/20 just to order.

So at the top of my screen like where the time is... there is this symbol that looks like a lock with a circle around it. It is next to the battery icon. What does this mean?

It's the screen orientation lock. It prevents the screen from switching between portrait and landscape views when you turn the iPod.
To engage or disengage this feature, double click the home button. This will bring up the multitasking tray. Swipe all the way to the left until you see the iPod controls, then tap the gray icon with the lock on it. This will toggle the feature on and off.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Does anyone know what the icon is at the top of my phone by the battery,It is a lock with a circle around it??

Does anyone know what the little lock with a circle around it for on my phone?

Orientation lock, keeps the screen from rotating. You can turn it on and off by swiping up from any screen.
Actually, not entirely correct. It's the Portrait Orientation lock. It won't lock landscape orientation, as can the iPad Orientation Lock

That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.
