When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

Hi Anyone had a dark screen that won't light up?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup via iTunes
- Restore to factoery defaults/new iPod
- If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My computer has streaks on the screen that won't come off

I just got the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display about a month ago and now on the screen there are streaks all over the screen that won't go away. I have tried using water, glass cleaner, and glasses cleaner wipes but it won't come off. Is this some type of defect or is there some other way to clean it?

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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. The appointment is free.

How to disable an ipod touch that won't connect to itunes or the computer

I recently got an ipod touch that was reset before being given to me. It wouldn't connect to iTunes or the computer but would still charge in the USB port. I updated iTunes and tried doing a soft reset holding down home and sleep. Then I realized on the screen that says "connect to iTunes", on the top right it would say "iPod" and in the middle it would show a little lock symbol. I was told this ment it was disabled and that's why it wouldn't work. But how would I restore it or reset it if I cannot get passed the connect to itunes screen and it wont connect to the computer. PLEASE HELP

HT1529 I have a screen that won't go away, how can I get it off my desk top

Hi,
I have a box that stays on my computer. It has four boxes on the left top that are general, accounts, viewing, audio/video and the main heading at the top is Accounts. There is nothing in the box that is clear enough to read and the box also says Location..US in the left lower bottom with cancel and save in the rt. lower corner. When I click on cancel I get a pop up screen that has the text icon that says Alert (null) with cancel and ok in the rt lower corner. When I hit cancel it takes that little box off and then the save button flashes. I can not hit any of the red, yellow, or green buttons to get rid of the screen they are blanked out. It's driving me crazy!! please help me get rid of it.
thanks,

Type command + option + esc (all three keys together).
You will see a new pane called Force Quit Applications. In that pane select, one at a time, anything you do not recognize, and click Force Quit.
Finally, select Finder and Relaunch.

IPod touch won't update,certain songs won't sync...I'm even trying to restore my iPod and that won't even work. Help!

So I have an iPod 4th generation. I've been having problems downloading certain songs...I download my songs from youtube converter and all my other songs I have synced just fine. But there are about 10 songs that won't download,yes I have tried to convert them to AAC or whatever that is,and it seems like that won't work either. I thought maybe it isn't working because I haven't updated my iPod from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3,I try updating and it tells me Error,this ipod could not be updated error 3194...I ask around for questions as to why that isn't working and they tell me to restore. I try to restore on my computer and I get ANOTHER message saying This iPod cannot be restored error 3194.
Yes I've reinstalled iTunes and everything else.
Yes I've tried restoring and updating for a different computer but on the other computer it couldn't detect my iPod...
I'm having sooo many problems...help! I really do like my iPod touch but it seems to have a lot of problems

Did you check your security software settings to be able to restore? iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

Do you guys fix ipod screens that are cracked though out the camera?

My Question Is The Subject I Guess?

iPod screens can be 'fixed' at your local apple store. Bear in mind that 'fixing' means that yu pay them a fee (starting at $99 and going up depending on what model you have) and they swap out yours for a refurbished one)
There are also authorized repair places,Apple has a list on their site. If you take it to apple, or an authorized place then your original factory warranty should remain intact.
There are also third party places that offer to repair your device for less money, but since they are not authorized places if you use them then any remainder of your factory warranty is null and void.

New iPod, Just Froze, Won't Reset

Hi I recently got a replacement iPod from Circuit City and I plugged it in my PC to transfer my songs and iTunes didn't open. I clicked on iTunes manually and it still didn't open. So, I couldn't unplug it. Well I finally waited long enough and I just unplugged it and finally iTunes shows up AFTER I unplugged it. When I did unplug my iPod without unmounting it from iTunes, it froze on the "Do Not Disconnect Screen". I tried resetting it but nothing happens at all, and I checked to see if the hold switch was on, which it wasn't. There were no sounds coming from the Hard Drive or anything really. I tried plugging it back in but nothing happened.

try to switch the hold switch to on and off... after doing it like twice, hold menu and enter at the same time. If it doesnt work try again. If it still doesnt work, let the battery die then recharge it.

Why have all of my camera roll images suddenly turned to a blank grey screen that says jpg in the middle?

all of my photos in my camera roll suddenly turned to blank grey screens the other day and they all say jpg in the middle of them, i did nothing for this to happen so can't understand why it has. I literally went on my camera roll and they all started changing as i scrolled up. Can anybody tell me why it has done this and what i can do to get all of my pictures back?
thankyou.

Here's what I'd try (starting at 1 and if it doesn't work, then 2);
1. Try opening the images (try taking a picture and see if that opens also)
2. Try plugging it into computer, check if you can view the photos on that
3. Check when the last backup was made (hopefully it was recent) and restore from that
4. Try an alternative itunes manager like copytrans and see can you get access to the images with that
