A key board has appeared on my screens and I can't get rid of it and I can't enter data
I have an Ipad air and this morning a keyboard has appeared. It is present on all screens. When I tap the key to remove a keyboard I only have a choice to "Dock" or "Split". I have tried to all options but the keyboard remains. I am also unable to use then keyboard for anything other than entering my passcode.
At the top of the iPad on the right. Here is a link to a diagram with the various buttons marked:

I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down. What should I do?
Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Hello:
I suggest you take it in for diagnosis/service. The problem would appear to be hardware.

A permanent horizontal line has appeared on my screen and will not go away. How do I get rid of it?
A permanent horizontal line has appeared on my screen and I cannot seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions?
You have the technicians at an Apple store genius bar examine your MBA and determine the cause and possible remedy. Make an appointment.
Ciao.
It is probably a GPU or display issue.

A vertical white band has appeared on my screen and I don't know how to get rid of it.
About an inch wide, going from the top of the screen all the way to the bottom. It doesn't interfere with online activities or word processing, but it pulses and is distracting. I can't move it to the left or right. Shutting the computer down doesn't get rid of it. Never had this problem before.
Does the line appear all the time or just inside Firefox? If the line is on everything including your operating system interface (Win, Mac, Linux, etc) then you may want to try updating your graphics drivers, if that doesn't help it may lie in the monitor or in the graphics processor itself. Sounds like your graphics processor is either getting old or is over heating. Which is a sign its about to burn out. If its only in Firefox then it maybe a plugin you have installed or a toolbar that is not installed properly. Need additional information about your hardware to really troubleshoot that.

Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
my usb devices are: keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

A text like box has appeared on the screen of my iphoe and this has to be over the app I want to use. I then have to double click on the icon for it to open. I cannot scroll across or down. I can access the apps but because it will not scroll I cannot access all of the screen. Can nayone help please???
It sounds like VoiceOver is partially on. First try triple pushing the Home button. This may turn VoiceOver off. If that doesn't work going to Settings/General/Accessibility and make sure VoiceOver is Off. Note you may have to use 3 fingers on the screen to scroll.

My MacBook Air 2012 turns on an the key board lights up however the screen stays black but when I shine a torch through the apple sign on the back you can see the login is there a way to fix this??
1. Press the F2 key couple of times.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.

My phone keeps freezing, the apple sign appears on the screen and then it freezes again and repeats itself.. has anyone had this before? if so, what is it? & it's also not letting me restore it from iTunes, it keeps coming up with error (9) or error (14).. help?
Hi there Holly N,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

My built-in key board has stopped working how can i fix this?
my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?
Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard? If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty. Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key. If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

The vibrate symbol that appears on screen when turning vibrate on, continually appears on my screen and vibrates all day. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on. -

Both my iPad and iPhone have ios8
On either device in Calendars> edit >shared with> add person when I enter an email address and press add nothing happens - just goes back to edit screen and what I have entered has gone. No error message or any clue about why I cant share my calendar. Please help.UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.
