Have to lock twice...in order for "slide to unlock" to work!
I have not found anything similar to my issue so I'm posting this hoping someone can help me!
My iPhone 5S works fine, however I have the following situation...
When I hit "Home" to unlock, I will get the "Slide to Unlock" message, but the screen is non-operational. I cannot slide to unlock, use the camera, nothing works.
I have to "Lock" the phone again and then hit "Home" again. Now everything works...
This is the same everytime...first time I try to slide to unlock, the phone doesn't work at all. I have to re-lock andn then hit home again to get it to work.
Any ideas on what I need to do?
Thanks!
I believe this matter needs clarifying.
The computer DOES NOT need to be on for homesharing to work.
Obviously if the computer isn't on then any services on the Apple TV which rely on homesharing to the computer, such as playing content from the iTunes library will not work, but homesharing with any other device WILL continue to work.

if i get an i pad with 3 g service capability do i have to use it in order for the i pad to work or can i just use the wifi part because i dont have the extra money to pay for a data plan
If you do get 3G, you only use cellular when wifi is not available. You pay by the month for a 3/4G plan.

Do I need to have a .MAC account in order for me to purchase a photo book?
No. You do need an Apple ID, which is the same thing you'd set up to buy content on iTunes or stuff from the Apple store online. This doesn't cost you extra, e.g. $99 for a .Mac account, but you do need to set it up with a credit card.

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!
That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it... -
my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility
Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive. -

My AfterEffects presets have a lock on them. How do I unlock them?
my AfterEffects presets have a lock on them. How do I unlock them?
Both when I go thru bridge or thru the effects panelProvide a screenshot. It is in no way clear what you mean, even more so since you have not provided any system and version info. If at all I would suspect mundane file permissions/ user privileges issues.

How come I have to off my Cellular Data for my Wi-Fi to work??
How come I have to off my Cellular Data for my Wi-Fi to work??
Off is off.
If you want the alrm to go off, the iphone must be on. It will be in sleep mode which saves battery.
The blackberry was simply on standby mode, not off. If it was off then the alrrm would not go off either.
Feel free to leave feedback for Apple. Let them know you want a stand by feature -

My slide to unlock wont work on my iphone 3gs.I have tried to reset it. It won't slide to power off. It won't let me answer calls or texts but I can adjust the volume on the side buttons. Please help.
Okay--listen everyone--I actually have a fix for this. I am so happy to help, because I know how frustrated I was!
I have a iPod touch 3rd gen. The screen slide was stuck in the lock position. Over the course of the past three months I have tried the following with no success:
1.) Reboot (holding the power and home button simultaneously)
2.) Restore (both types--yes, I did the hard, factory reset) SEVERAL times.
3.) I pushed on the screen in every corner, sometimes very hard.
4.) I tried giving several voice control commands.
Everything I read on line (I've spent several hours researching), said the only thing I could do was bring it in to the Apple Store Genius Bar--they priced the labor at about $150! For which I could buy a new one. Then I remembered something CRAZY I had read a while back--I wasn't even sure I remember the correct order or even the explanation. All I know is that it WORKED! This is what I did.
a.) I put the iPod in a ziplock bag and pushed all the excess air out before sealing it.
b.) I put it in the freezer over night! (Crazy, right?)
c.) Then about 24 hours later, I took it out--it was frozen solid--and tried to power it up. No luck.
d.) I immediately put it under the hair dryer on high heat, high air. About 20-30 seconds from, then the same for the back.
e.) I tried to power it up; the Apple icon appeared!
f.) While it was powering up, I kept the air on it, rotating front and back--It got hot. (I stopped after 1 minute.)
g.) When the home, configure screen reappeared, I was able to slide the slick, and re-configure!
h.) I've restored a previous back-up off my iTunes account, and the iPod is working again. Resurrected!
If memory serves, the explanation I read is that many of the apply devices have an internal shutdown switch before they fry or freeze in extreme temps. My guess is that the shutdown forces and internal reboot. All I know is that after trying EVERYTHING ELSE--this method worked. I did this on 18 October 2014.

I have a lot of pictures in an album that I would like put in random order for a slide show. I want to burn that to a dvd to play at our day care centers (pics of the kids throughout the summer). is there any way to do this other than dragging and dropping the pictures manually? that takes a lot of time.
OK. Well here's a helpful answer. Someone's already written a quick Applescript for adding random numbers to every file in a folder. I added a little bit to the beginning and the end to let you be able to just drag and drop the folder onto the file, but give full credit to the poster
Steps:
(1) Open the Applescript Editor:
Finder->Applications->Apple Script->Script Editor.app
(2) In a new Script copy and paste the following text:
--start copying
on open the_Droppings
tell application "Finder"
set separator to ("_") as text
set source to the_Droppings as alias
set destination to make new folder at source with properties {name:"Shuffled"}
set shuffle_pool to duplicate files of source to destination
set shuffle_count to count shuffle_pool
set duplicates to {}
repeat with shuffle_file in shuffle_pool
repeat
set an_item to random number from 1 to shuffle_count
if an_item is not in duplicates then exit repeat
end repeat
shuffle_file as alias
set name of result to an_item & separator & name of result as string
set end of duplicates to an_item
end repeat
end tell
end open
-- stop pasting here
(3) File->Save As
(4) Type in a name for the file and IMPORTANT save it as an application.
(5) Place all the images that you want to randomize into any folder. (In iPhoto6: File->Export from an album or; in iPhoto5: Share->Export)
(6) Drag the folder with your images onto the little application that you saved from the Script Editor
(7) The Script will create a new folder inside whatever folder you dropped on it called "Shuffled".
(8) Now if you do an Edit->Add Slideshow in iDVD you can just drag the contents of the Shuffled folder to iDVD and you're done! It'll make a DVD in seconds! Now if only you could set the time to more than 10 seconds!

How to arrange photo orders for slide show?
Hello,
The photos I uploaded to the iPod are in seemingly random order. How is that order determined? Should I rearrange them in iTunes or in the original folder first? How would I do so? Thanks!I have been following this thread with great interest. I have tried to do this in Aperture as well. Jumping ahead just a bit to what might be David's next issue, once we figure out why the option is not available to him.
For me once the music has been added the " Align slide to the beat" is available. However it doesn't seem to do anything.
I have accomplished this in iMovie and Final Cut Express. In both of these programs you have to actually mark the beats for things to work. You mark the beats and the software sets the play duration to match. This is pretty easy in iMovie. I am hoping for a similar or better interface in Aperture 3. How is this accomplished in Aperture? -
