Getting Stuck in Presentation Mode in 5.5

Somehow managed to get into Presentation Mode and couldn't get out. No keyboard shortcut works, including Esc. I did a force quit, went back in and assigned Opt-P to Presentation Mode, but it doesn't seem to be a toggle; it gets me into it but not out. Anyone else notice this?

I stumbled over the same problem when defining my own keyboard shortcuts set (using an empty default set as the starting point), and I couldn’t leave Presentation mode.
But the solution is totally obvious (like so many things) when you think about it: It’s all about context.
I.e., if you define a keyboard shortcut that switches to Presentation mode, you are now (drum roll) in Presentation mode. Accordingly, to quit Presentation mode (i.e., switch to another mode), you need to define a shortcut for that other mode that works in the Presentation mode context.
E.g., I now have defined [F12] in the Default context to switch to Presentation mode. [F10] will switch back to Normal mode both in the Default context and Presentation context. Works like a charm.

My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode after using my "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter." How can I fix this?

My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode (I don't know the correct term) after using my Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - meaning the screen fonts and windows are larger than usual. How can I fix this? I've changed the display settings to modify it a little, but it still doesn't look right. I reinserted the adapter numerous times and restarted my computer, it still hasn't worked. Help!

Iphone 6 gets stuck in landscape mode

Hello
iphone 6 or possibly the ios update has some bugs. For instance, it gets stuck in landscape mode even though the screen rotation is not locked.
In addition, safari does not react quickly when trying to access the menu to close a page or add a new one. It takes several attempts and after uing the home button several times, the menu finally appears.
Please advise

This is happening to me too. Some posts indicates that it is more likely to happen in zoom mode and switching to standard mode fixes it, but my phone has always been in standard mode. I am having this problem with an iPhone 6 128 GB phone with iOS 8.1. I hope this is only a software problem and not a hardware problem.

IPhone 6 getting stuck in landscape mode

My iPhone 6 keeps getting stuck in landscape mode. Also the camera will not always open from the locked screen, it just bounces up and down but does not slide all the way up to launch the camera app. Is apple working on a fix?

Hi Sunnifromlondon,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.
I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:

Samsung stratosphere keeps getting stuck in landscape mode?

All of a sudden a couple of days ago my phone started getting stuck in landscape mode, even when the auto rotation was off. I didn't mess with any of the settings to make this happen but sometimes I have to turn the screen on and off a couple of times before it goes back to regular mode. I even factory reset the phone today, but it is still going on.

Hmm it would do that too, but I actually just realized what the problem was when
I took the snap on case off. Apparently when I slide the keyboard down the
bottom part of the screen goes beyond the part where it's supposed to stop. I'm
guessing that caused some kind of censor to not work properly. But thanks for
the help.

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.

IMAC gets stuck in sleep mode

Hi all!
Could somebody please advice me what is going on with my iMAC Intel Core i3. I have just installed new update for 10.6.8. iMAC gets stuck after sleep mode. Power on/off is only the way to get him alive.
I tried to 'google' this issue. Non of topics I found helped ;(
Please!!

You can try some basic troubleshooting:
First restart in Safe Mode this will clear some caches.
If that doesn't help then use Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) to Repair Disk Permissions
If that doesn't help then download and install the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Of course make sure you have a good backup before installing the Update Combo!

Getting stuck in Headphone mode not necessarily a hardware issue, is it?

I've read on the net that cleaning the headphone jack can correct this issue. I've also read that inserting the headphones and removing them many times (I think I've seen 7 or 8 times) can also correct the issue. None of these issues worked for me.
What I did notice is that the presence of my headphones was indeed being detected. With the headphones plugged-in, I set the volume to a low volume, for example. With the headphones removed, I set the volume near maximum. Mind you, the phone is in Headphone mode, and won't normally play out of the speaker. But when you insert the headphones, in this example, the volume jumps to the low setting, and when the headphones are removed, the volume jumps to the near maximum setting.
So insertion and removal of the headphones is indeed detected. So this isn't a hardware issue, then, is it? There's got to be something else going on.

Well, I backed up, erased, and restored to get proper functionality. No longer stuck in headphone mode. I tried compressed air, and cleaning the jack. Those attempts didn't fix me. I believe it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, or a setting that will reset the logic associated with the headphone.

IOS 8.1.3 get stuck into recovery mode after restoring

AAfter updating my iPhone 5s to the newest iOS it went into revovery mode and everytime I try restoring it it will just get suck into recovery mode

Honestly, If you are stuck in recovery mode. I would visit the nearest apple store and meet genius specialist to get you squared away. They may get you over this hump or simply swap out your device if is a hardware issue. I'm sorry you are faced with this issue.

Iphone 4 camera gets stuck in horizontal mode sort of and text does get stuck. help?

So ever since i updated my iphone to the OS5 i have had some odd glitches. 1. the text message screen will stay horizontal until i restart the phone. 2. The camera seems to kind of get stuck in horizontal. The camera bar that is normally at the bottome shows up on the side but the camera acts really strange. if you turn the phone horizonta and take a photo it turns up vertical. when you move the camera around to take a photo when its like this it almost acts like if you are moving it the oppisite way that you are. its very strange and frustrating. Anyone know how to fix this and make it go away?

At some time in the past you used a program on your computer to kick the phone out of recovery mode or to hack it (e.g., tinyumbrella). This program corrupted your hosts file, preventing iTunes from contacting Apple's activation servers at gs.apple.com.
To confirm this diagnosis open a Terminal app window and type: ping gs.apple.com.
If you get something other than 17.112.176.11 this is your problem. To fix it edit the file /etc/hosts and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com.

Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) Randomly Getting Stuck in Sleep Mode when Unplugged

Hey guys, this is my first time posting so please excuse me if I do anything wrong. Here's the issue:
I have a Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) that has had an issue with the whole computer shutting down at random, but only when unplugged from the MagSafe power adapter. Upon scouring all the forums and discussions I could, I haven't found anyone with the same exact circumstances as myself, hence this post. Let me explain.
Many say it's a battery issue. That can't be, because this has been happening for months, and after I finally got my laptop repaired a few days ago, it still occurs. I had sent it in for a logic board failure, but consented them to fix any other parts that weren't functioning properly. Upon the return of my machine, I found that they installed a fresh hard drive, new battery, new logic board, and a new speaker on the right side. This must mean that neither the logic board nor the battery are the issue.
What else can this point to? Again, it only occurs when the Mac is unplugged from a power source, and it doesn't totally shut down. It goes half way, essentially stuck in sleep mode. The white indicator light on the front freezes, and the power button has to be held to fully turn the laptop off, then pressed again to reboot. It can last anywhere from a single minute to a few hours before shutting off again, and it's always the exact same circumstance, no matter what kind of computing I'm doing at the time.
Note that while no one else has found the solution to lie within resetting the PRAM or SMC (in the discussions I read), I still need to try that tonight and see if it affects anything.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Macs are having problems with SSD drives. The root cause is the OS X journaling file system. The Apple-written SATA controller driver can saturate the bus at times, inhibiting performance. Some manufactures are even selling special "Mac" versions of their SSD drives that are slowed down on purpose to compensate for this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still exists in Snow Leopard, from what I've read.
Also, I read that Apple has secretly slowed the recent new laptops down (3.0GB/s to 1.5GB/s) to compensate for the problem.

My Phone is getting stuck in App mode and I have to reboot to get back to the regular screen? What ever app I'm in works but I cant exit?

My Iphone 4 is getting stuck in what ever App or screen I have open. I have to reboot to get back to the normal screen. I have done a reset with no change. Any advice?

I'm assuming your iPhone is not jailbroken?
You likely have an app that's misbehaving. Try restoring as new and see how it runs factory fresh.
Also, maybe your Home button is not functioning correctly. This has been a widely reported problem. Try cleaning under it with a vacuum or compressed air.
Note that you have a 1 year warranty - you may need to use it.

Sound gets stuck on "headphones mode" every time i try to play music.

i know there's already a topic like this, but this one is a tad bit different.
ever since i updated to 3.1.2 on my iPhone 2nd gen, every time i use my iPhone headphones and take them out, i'm stuck on "HEADPHONES" mode until my iPhone decides it doesn't want to be in it anymore. i read all the stories about blowing it with an air canister, did it. sucking the dust out, sadly i did it. plugging in and out, did it. restoring, did it.
it just ***** that i can't use my iPhone for music.. it makes me want to use my blackberry again.
any suggestions?

Your iCloud backup doesn't contain your music. It will restore music purchased from the iTunes store to your iOS device if you restore the backup by redownloading it from the iTunes store. You can also redownload music purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. This will not recover music from other sources.
To transfer music from your phone to your computer, you will need to extract it using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.
