Can't get off the settings page. Cant turn on or off

Hullo there. My current problem is this, whilst on the ipad an alert popped up advertising some game or other for free d/load, when i tried to d/load it a message came up saying(i'll paraphrase here!) "you dont have enough storage left to d/load, go to settings,general+view your storage space, i did this and deleted a few of the "not so clever games" believing this would free up some space. Unfortunately i cannot get of the"settings" page i'v tried turning the ipad off to hope fully bring it back to normal but it will let me access any topic on the settings page but nothing else at all. i'm not heavy handed with it so i cant see how it could be a "button"issue cos i'd be able to switch it off. now i'v exhausted my solutions i dont know what to do, let it run out of power? it would come back to the same page when re-charged i think. Anyway i'v just plugged in the charger and it made the usual beep and shows its charging but thats all i can do!. I would appreciate any help or assistance in solving this wee dilemna that anyone in the ipad community can give.
Thanking you in advance

You sir are obviously a knowledgeable man on these things, firstly i thank you for your rapid response,and secondly for your answer, which i did and voila! my ipad is back to normal!. thank you for your help and my wife is now yours for the asking should you so wish! lol
Bye now+once again thank you!

to enter a 4 digit passcode and now I type in the 4 digits and the ipad will not accept it. I want to get to the settings page. Can someone help me?
Thanks.

hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected
If you did APple do not want to know that their upgrade has trashed your ipad
search on ios 7 ipad greek keyboard
to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
to do that you need to unlock your ipad
to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
to do that you need a greek keboard
to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
and so on and son
thank you apple

My ipod touch 4th gen won't go off the settings page

Hi!
My Ipod touch 4th gen will not go off the settings page. The home button is not doing anything and neither is the lock button.
I went onto the settings page to delete some large apps as i was getting low on storage and now I cannot get off. The screen won't black out or lock.

Try the remaining items of::
- 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 another cable
- 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 main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes. Getting started guide : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4053
The iPad manual also has a chapter on getting started - it can be downloaded from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad

You need to reset the phone, but that requires a functioning on/off (lock) button. Time to visit Apple.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

How can i find the mac address of a brand new iphone 5 since i can't get to the settings screen untill it's signed onto the web

I have a brand new iphone. my home wifi router has a mac filter. I can't use my phone until the wifi is set up but i cant set up my phone until it connects to the internet. is there a way to find the mac addreess without getting to the settings menu?

It's not on the box.
Try turning off Mac filtering temporarily on your router, finish the setup, then turn it back on. Or use another WiFi hotspot, such as an Apple store or a carrier's store. Or McDonalds. Or Starbucks.

How can I get past the activate page on ipod touch?

I am trying to fix a ipod touch for an lady I know. she purchased this ipod for her 9 year old daughter and she set it up with her dad apparently using his email account. The daughter forgot her passcode so she wanted me to restore it which I did. Now I'm stuck at the activation page. After trying everything online I could find I called apple spport and spent 2 hours on the phone with them. After all this I was able to finally get logged into the dads apple id account which shows the daighters name and his email account that was used. Problem is that the 9 year old apparently set up the find my iphone setting and/or changed the apple id at some point to her [email protected] so when I get to the activation page it wants the apple id that the 9 year old used and she has forgotten it. If I try her dads email and id it says it cant be used to activate the ipod. I try to reset her password but the birthdate isn't going through and I've tried her real bday, her bday that she used on her facebook account, and her parents bday as well as several years up and down from it but can't get through. Any ideas on what can be done?

Can't get past the Configure page

I got a new Airport Express (old one replaced by a Genius after MBP couldn't connect to it). I try to set up a new network but I'm failing. MBP recognizes AE but I can't get past the reconfigure screen. The page keeps loading but that's as far as I get. I can't get to the point of naming my network and choosing a password.
Since I had a different AE set up here, do I need to reset something to make the AE work again?
Thanks.

When the AirPort Express is new, it is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the "x" can be either a number or letter.
Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your screen and look for this network. Your computer needs to be on this network in order to communicate with the AirPort Express.
An alternate way to do this is temporarily connect a spare ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express. You can keep the ethernet cable connected during the configuration process and disconnect it when you have updated the Express with your new settings.

I can't get to the redeem page on my ipod touch or itunes

i try to get to the redeem page on itunes and ipod touch, fully updated and upgraded. on my ipod touch, it just sits there loading the entire time, but on my itunes, it gives me a connection error saying it can't connect. is it just on my end?
it loads categories and such, but it just won't let me redeem my code...

From the computer that works, you could copy the address and enter that in to the nonworking machine. If that works just bookmark it.
As to why? Possibly popups are blocked?

Can't get my e-mail pages to turn to landscape when turning my Touch

I'm not sure what I did, but I can't get my e-mail pages to go horizontal when turning my iPod Touch.
I'm using the most recent software. It came with 1.1.4 and I remember it being able to do that with the older version....has something changed?
Thanks for any help.

Don't think so. I don't believe mail ever went into landscape mode (but excel or word files as attachments do)

I can't get into the settings for fonts. How do I do that to change the font size?

I had downloaded the latest updated version of Firefox and I ended up syncing it to my Android phone. I went into some kind of settings dialog and accidentally changed my font and text settings and now I can't read any of my Gmail that's in my account on my desktop computer-it's too small. I'm trying to figure out how I can get into the content settings (I have the print out of what I'm to do once I get into the 'options' on the content settings page, but I don't know how to bring up the content settings menu/page). I use my desktop PC for work purposes and I can't use it with the font and text settings the way they are now. I also read where questions are being answered, but no one knows how to find the answers to the questions people are asking. How do we get to the answers that people give us about the question we have asked?
I hope you can help me ASAP so I can change what I need to ASAP. I work on my pc 24/7 for work and it's not helping me when I can't read emails and I can't fix the problem.
Thanks!

Hi!
I followed the directions that were given to me in this forum. The only difference on my desktop PC computer after you click on the three lines at the top right of the screen after signing into your g-mail account, it will bring up the menu and you click on the 'Options' tab. I'm on G-mail and I'm running windows 7 Home Premium; there wasn't a preference tab and the percentage was already set at 100%. It takes you straight to the options menu. You then click on the 'Content' tab if it's not already open, change your font and font size to what you want, and then click OK. It reset those items for me and now I can read my emails. I noticed if you change the font type and size to something other than Times New Roman-size 16 (default font & size), you may have to change the size of font to a higher number (i.e. Arial-18 font size). You just have to adjust them for your preference if you want something other than Times New Roman-font size 16.
Thanks for the help and info. It worked.

Can't get past the first page of some websites

4 days ago everything was working fine, then 2 days ago i bought something on ebay and followed the instructions to pay via paypal i didn't get any further than the check details page, so i closed and tried to go through the paypal site directly, the login page opened fine, typed in my name and password then nothing, no error message, just blank page, one night i left it for 2hrs nothing. i tried to go on internet banking last week on firefox and it kept coming up with a error message (can't remember what it said) but went through internet explorer and it worked fine.
i tried another website last night www.britishgas.co.uk/topup and that page wouldn't display anything at all, but some pages i go on work perfectly fine with no problems, i don't really know alot about computers and this has left me baffled, how can it work one day then not the next. i have AVG and have just completed a full scan and everything is fine and also updated flash player
