- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore from backup.
    If still a problem, restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • I have an issue with Acrobat, after a few uses, the program will not load, the only way to fix it is to completely uninstall the CS suite wipe the drive and reinstall the software, then after a few uses it stops working, how do i fix this?

    Not sure of an answer to your basic question, but it may be that you can run a repair (on Windows --> Control Panel>Programs & Features and run the repair on Acrobat). If that fixes the issue, at least temporarily, at least you will not be reinstalling everything -- a real pain.
    Next, open Acrobat and go to the Help to run the updates and be sure you are current. On some OSs, the updates are critical.

  • I am trying to open a program I downloaded and it says compileBot has stopped working how can I fix this

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/919962]]</blockquote>
    I have a program called commission killer that I have downloaded and I can't open it because it says compileBot has stopped working. It then tells me to either close the program or have Windows look for a solution and then it closes without any solution. I want to be able to use this program and yet I don't know what to do to correct this. I have deleted it closed the firewall and the security program AVG but that didn't work either when I redownloaded the program. Any suggestions>?

  • The sleep and home button on my iPod touch 4th gen have stopped working.

    Its been past a year since ive had it but i bought warranty from walmart and I was wondering if walmart would fix it? or should i go to the apple store and ask them?

    If you have a Walmart warranty and did not purhase the extended AppleCare warranty fvia Walmart, then go back to Walmart.
    If AppleCare, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. 
    - If out of warranty, yu can also go to the Apple store. It is free for Apple to look at it.
    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Maybe you just have a software problem?

  • HT4061 My lock button and home screen button has just stopped working, how do i fix this?

    My lock and home screen button has just suddenly stopped working, i have looked on YouTube, unscrewed the back and tried the methods that work for other people but it hasn't worked.
    Im not on contract, if it needs to go in for repair im sure it will be very expensive!
    What shall i do?

    It's a hardware issue. If it's out of warranty, you can get it replaced but there's an out of warranty fee associated.

  • The silent/ringer switch and the volume control buttons stopped working, how can I fix this or do I just need to get a new phone?

    One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?

    you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4 and my toolbar didn't load, now Firefox won't start automatically saying a script has stopped working. how can I fix this?

    Before Firefox will load I have to stop a script message that appears saying that the script for this page is either busy or stopped working. Once I hit stop Firefox will load as normal but without doing this step it will not load at all. Once it is loaded the toolbar has not been loaded and I am told to reinstall the toolbar but I have not been able to do so.

  • I installed yosimite and microsoft word stopped working, how do I fix this?

    I open it and I cannot type, how do I fix it?

    What version of Microsoft Word is it? If it's 2004, you're SOL. If it's a newer version, you may need to re-install it. I'd say you'd have the best luck with Word 2011.

    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.
    Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
