Camera and Power button problems!!
I have 2 major problems with my playbook. First problem is that the camera doesn't work. When I press the camera button, black screen pops up without any buttons visible. Sometimes an error message pops up saying that the camera is in use and won't be load up. Second problem is that when I turn the screen off by pressing power button and try to turn it on again by pressing the button again, it won't turn on. I can only turn the screen on again by swipe across the screen. The fact that my playbook doesn't work properly bothers me a lot since the problem arose only 3 months after I bought the device. What should I do to fix these problems??
I have seen post where the turnaround was 3 days. You must backup your files first because the PlayBook will be wiped clean. Here are the contacts in Germany.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success. Can you help? Thanks
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Hi,
This is for my wife's iPhone 4
She was on a call and went to end the call and the phone just turned off.
Left it on charge for an hour or so and nothing.
I tried the old reboot (home button and power button) and nothing
I tired with the sim out.
And with it plugged into a PC, opened iTunes and it didn't recognize that the phone was plugged in.
I tried my PC and nothing.
My phone charges and connects to both PC's
Tried holding the home button then plugging into PC
Tried holding the power button then into PC
I've now been trying different combinations for about 3 hours and now I'm all out of ideas.... :(
Please please can some help before Tuesday when I will have to find someone to repair it.
Thanks,Sounds like faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing. If you have Warranty or AppleCare the problem will be covered.

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.
Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem! -
I am having mac book air 2012model i had installed mavericks and use it, i long press command and power button at a same time and i saw the command prompt, from that i had formated the total hard disk. how to i want to install the OS again ?
i tryed with download mavericks but finally its saying a error message like cant conect to istore like that its saying and every thing is clear like internet and other stuf i tryed with 3times no progress same error pls help.. i bought this lap for my bro with his apple id only we use it now he got a new mac book pro so he gave to me so i formated and use it i use my apple id is that problem come because of changing apple id ? pls eplainFirstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
OK the language page.
From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult. -
my iPod touch isn't working correctly.it is displaying a white light and no matter what i try it isn't helping.tries holding the reset and power button together and tryed holding the power button in but it doesn't work. please can someone help?
Try the remaining items in the white-screen topic of.
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
If not successful. let the battery fully drain and then charfe for an hour and try again.
Frequently a white scree nis due to a hardware problem. -
please help
You may have to hold the home and power buttons down for more than 10 to 15 seconds. That is the normal amount of time it should take to do a soft-reset on an iDevice. But I have had a similar problem and found that if I held the buttons down for a couple of minutes my device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) would finally unlock and start up. You just have to be patient and hold the buttons down. You might also try doing this with your iPad plugged into the charger.

Back camera and power buton not working
hello dear ,
i have problem in my i phone 4,s camera and power buton . how can i replace itBasic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If this does not resolve the issues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -
I tried updating my iPod touch 4th gen and now the screen is bright blue or flashing white and black lines.ive tried the whole home and power button thing but it only brings up the apple icons then goes back to the blue or other screen.please help?
This has worked for some others.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Boot loop and power button broken
Hi,
I have a new problem with my iPhone 4 8go
Tonight the battery died so when I woke up I plugged it in like I normally do, but after the usual white apple when the phone turns on, I see my lock screen for 2 seconds before the phone shuts down automatically.
If I keep it plugged it stays in a boot loop and just stay off if I unplug it.
I've done my research about that issue, which seems common, and it looks like going in DFSU mode and restore from backup might work.
Problem is, my power button is broken and doesn't work anymore, so I can't do the manipulation with home and power button.
I have downloaded redsnow to try to go in DFSU mode without button but due to the boot loop, the phone is not detected in iTunes...
Is there any way to force the phone in DFSU mode or anything else I can do?Cotonboy wrote:

That is a software to hack your phone. You can't get any assistant here per the term of use of this forum. -
I went to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7 but needed to create some space. After deleting a couple of apps, my home and power buttons now aren't responding.
Has this happened to anyone else before? I've read that a back up and restore might help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice. -

My iphone 4 locked up for several hours. i then tried to reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then the home button for 10 seconds. it is now completely black. what do i do? couldnt restore it in iTunes. Has anyone had this problem? Help!
Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous
