3 GS freezes to white screen occasionally after hitting home button. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Has anyone ever experienced a white screen that freezes then turns black after hitting the home button?
I have had intermittent white screens for some time (as in three years). It happens when the phone "wakes up". I hae lost calls that I could not answer because the screen was white. It has come up white when I hit the home screen. Not always, but with random frequency. All I have to do it hit the power button (I do not have to power off, just hit the button) and reopen the phone and it is gone. I know the phone is functioning under this screen, I just cannot do anything.
My first 3GS had the problem so severly I called Apple. After two and a half hours of resets of various kinds, they decided the phone was bad and sent my a replacement. It was better, but it still has the issue. I have gotteb used to it and am waiting until I can get an upgrade to the phone in the hopes it takes care of it. In the meantime, I occasionally doa search here and un the intertubes to see if someone else has the issue and a solution.
My suspicion has been that some app I downloaded causes it, but I have deleted apps and cannot get rid of the issue.

My screen has streched out real big and the touch screen is difficult to use and can't return the screen to normal size.Has anyone ever experienced this?
Double-tap the screen with three fingers, then go to Settings and disable the Zoom function so you don't accidentally trigger it again.

I disconnected my IMac (Intel) when I was away when I reconnected it after the powering up tone I had a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps and the beeps continued. Has anyone had this happen to them? I have tried to reboot in "safe mode" by holding "shift" key down after tone but that did not work. Any other suggestions?
Yes. This Apple document describes how to access the RAM on the various models of iMac: iMac: How to remove or install memory
First step would be to remove and reset firmly the RAM modules and give it another try. If that fails, remove the new RAM modules and replace with the original Apple modules that came with the Mac.
The more reliable sources for Mac RAM modules are Crucial.com and otherworldcompution.com. Both are very reliable and will guarantee your satisfaction.
Check to see where your son got the modules. Also check the modules carefully to make sure they match the specifications for your iMac exactly.

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

my phone is an iphone 4 and after the update to ios7.0.4 yesterday, i have lost all email facility. I dont have any email icon or button across the bottom of the phone which sits next to the phone, safari and music buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thanks in advance
Hi kylie,
The Mail app cannot be deleted, so it is there somewhere. Look at all of your other Home screens to see if you can find it.
If you cannot, do a spotlight search to see if it got accidently moved into a folder: swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the search bar - type in Mail - you should see the Mail icon in the search results. If it got moved into a folder, you will see the folder name on the right side. If it is in a folder, open the folder, and tap and hold the Mail icon until it wiggles, then slide it out and back to the place where you want it to be.
If that doesn' work, you can also go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will move all of your icons into the original order that they were on the phone. You may have to move stuff around after this to where you want it to be, but all of the Apple system apps will be on the first Home screen.
Cheers,

I get the following error message after installing the latest version of itunes via auto update: "the itunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). Has anyone ever seen this message and anyone have a suggestion what to do?
Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

I have tried to order a photo book. Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?
Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail. -
After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library, rebuliding and repairing the thumbnails but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
What upgrade did you apply? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

my phone keeps freezing and then resetting itself with that annoying circle made up of lines as it resets when doing simple operations like messaging. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm getting this on my 5s. When scrolling fast i get random complete screen halts. When holding down on a scrollable portaion of a screen the screen jittes badly and then begins to hop all over the place.
Seems a bit suspicious, and more than a little disappointing.
Any thoughts anyone? -

IPad displays a black backlit screen after hitting home button to wake
When I press the home button to wake my iPad 2 up after the display goes to sleep I get a black screen with backlight and nothing else. My short term fix is just hitting the sleep wake button and it usually responds
Devinpz-
Check out Settings-Brightness & Wallpaper. Mine has Auto-Brightness set in the middle of its range. I have images set for both the Wake-up screen and the Home screen. If your Brightness is set too low or your Wake-up screen image is black, that might explain at least part of your problem.
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
