    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

  • All websites automatically going to Mobile versions when using safari and firefox (likely started after mavericks update) Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    Not exactly all websites but many seem to be defaulting to their Mobile versions when using my Macbook Air... this is not dependent on browser type (Safare, chrome and firefox have been tried)... this is a new problem and may have started after the  Mavericks update (although I am not 100% sure about the timing).
    Has anyone had this problem? Any idea how to fix this?

  • My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes.  when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution saying i need to restore.  does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

    My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes.  when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone.  How do i fix this?

    Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • In sounds my email notification is stuck on minuet and although I change the sound it will not budge. does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

    This is very infuriating as the sound will not be changed. Does this mean I have to do a system reset.

  • My macbook camera has stopped working - tried on Skype, Facetime, and Photobooth. Any ideas how to fix this?

    My macbook (purchased in 2007) Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 camera has stopped working - tried on Skype, Facetime, and Photobooth. Any ideas how to fix this?

    If restarting doesn't fix, use the relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.  If nothing else there works, the repair by an Apple-Authorized Service Provider suggested there and by spudnuty will get it sorted.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
