Dropped my ipod and now it makes a clicking sound and won't turn on at all. is it cheaper to get a new one or fix this one?
i have tile floors and i dropped my ipod classic flat on its back while it was off. i tried turning it on after that and it now it makes a clicking sound and won't even turn on. all it shows is a dead ipod and told me to go to apple.com/support/ipod. i'm not sure how to fix it or if it's even fixable. or is it just cheaper to get a new one?
If the phone will not power on try these three things:
Connect it to your phone charger
Connect it to your computer and open up iTunes
Perform a hard reset (Hold down the sleep/wake (top) button at the same time as the home (circle) button for 45 seconds. When the apple appears on the screen let go of both buttons.

I just updated my MacBook (9/20/13) and now my Wifi won't turn on. Does anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
I just completely shut down and turn on computer and wifi came back

Help me , first how much does it cost to get it fixed and second is it cheaper to get a new phone .....
Error -1 indicates a hardware failure. You'll need to get your phone replaced, which will cost you $149. You can decide if it's worth paying this replacement cost, or buying a new phone.

Hi, this is a user support board, apple employees don't post here. Just mentioning that since your message sounds like you thought you were writing to someone who can give out apple thingies
Deauthorize your desktop over and over, since you say it is using more than one authorization. Here is an articel on that:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
If that doesn't work you can use the "deauthorize all" method once per year, which is explained here

I bought a new battery before I left town. It seem working when I inserted it in. I became busy during my trip and wasn't able to use my MacBook Pro for a few weeks. Now I need to use it, it won't start. I tried to plug the adapter in, took it out, took the battery out and in again-- but still, it won't start. HELP!
Try a hard reset:
Hold both power and home buttons until you see the apple come on your screen. Usually rakes 10-15 seconds -
My MacBook made a clicking sound. I turned it off for 5 minutes, then restarted it. Now all I get is a folder with a ? on it. Is my battery fried?
That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'llsee a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead. -
I have an IPhone 4, its less than a year old. Without warning it won't turn on. I used it less than 30 minutes ago, the battery has charge in it, but the phone will not turn on. I tried connecting the charge lead but it still won't turn on.
Have you try to hard reset your phone? Holding both power and home button until the apple logo appears on screen.
Hope this advice may help you. -
My ipod touch won't recharge after I let it run all the way down. It shows an empty battery with a tiny bit of red, and a spiky unblinking circle on the batery. I can't turn it off or slide the slider. I tried to charge it for 8 hours and nothing.

This problem makes it impossible for me to sync any apple device to my itunes library. I have tried reinstalling itunes, but it still doesn't work. My computer recognises the devices, but itunes doesn't.
Suggestions?See:

I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

I did the update to take out bugs etc; now when I try to open an app, it asks for my Itunes ID before it will open; this is a pain; has anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this, assistance gratefully appreciated, thanks
Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -
The first few sessions Firefox seemed to be running great with improved speed. Yesterday, when I opened Firefox it could not open my homepage even though I checked for my internet connection ... my email service was working perfectly. I rebooted the computer and started Firefox and the homepage opened fine. I then visited an online newspaper site opened from my bookmarks. I was able to read one or two articles on different pages, but then when I selected another page in this site, Firefox was not able to access it (just keep trying to make a connection to the page). I restarted Firefox and went into an online banking site, again through a bookmark. Again after successfully accessing several different pages in the site Firefox was unable to connect to a requested page.
Later in the day I restarted Firefox, entered the banking site and successfully completed my transaction. Visited several other sites and had no problems, then again Firefox could not load a page.
This problem has continued today when looking at the online paper.
I would like either a fix to this problem, or to return to the previous version of Firefox.Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

I just downloaded OS X Snow Leopard onto my early 2008 Macbook. I would like to be able to use Photobooth but it says I can not use this (2.0.3) version. How am I able to get an updated version??
For now just reinstall the combo updater. If this does not install Photobooth, then you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard or:
How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in
the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go
to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
Click on the "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes: Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
• Stop
• Leave original alone
• Update .....
• Default selection
• Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages) -
I am having difficulty discovering how to finishing the restoration process to my iPhone 4S...
Connect it to the computer via iTunes, then hold down the home screen button and the sleep/wake button so it's almost like you are forcing the phone into recovery mode. The connect to iTunes graphic will show up on the screen of phone, iTunes will get you an alert message saying iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, restore on iTunes to use iPhone.

today i tried downloading ios 5 for my iphone 4. i updated all the software on my macbook pro. then when i was downloading ios 5 for my phone. it completely shut off. at first it was just showing me the screen to plug it into itunes. when i did, it would tell me to restore it because it was in recovery mode. however, it could not get approved by apple. i understand they have been bombarded today. however, now it is just showing a black screen with the loading circle on it. it wont let me turn it back on. and when i plug it into my computer it isnt recognizing it. i dont know what to do. is my phone dead forever? its been 4 hours..
If you have no other choice then put it in DFU mode. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374810?

I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.
