Help! Apple will not help me with a faulty power button
Hello,
Approximately, 6 months ago, I took my iPhone 4 to an Apple store because I had dropped it. Completely smashed! I had to pay £180 and they gave me a new iPhone.
Last week, the power button seemed to stop working. It doesnt click. It doesnt do anything. They have told me they can't replace because the phone is outside of the 90 day warrenty they give on refurbished phones.
I find this appalling Is there anything I can do?
No

I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay asleep! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep. File sharing off. What else can help?
Hi fremley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)

Disk will not load on first pressing of power button
I have a 2-3 month old HP Pavilion p6 Series HP P6-2317c- PC which is running Windows 8 64 bit with IE 10. When I push the power button the disk light starts but will not load until I press the power button to restart 2 or 3 times then it works fine. I've never had this problem with an HP product before. It's still under warranty obviously can someone help!!! Please I don't want to ruin a new computer or power source.
Opening the case will not void your warranty. If, once you open the case, you cause damage to the PC, the warranty will not cover that damage. So, for example, if you yank too hard on something and break a connector while you're in there, that particular damage is not covered. But I doubt you'd do that if you follow the instructions carefully and take your time.

See the section titled "Exclusions." Nothing in there about voiding your warranty if you open the case.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I have a MacBook. It went to sleep and I could not wake it up. I shut it off by holding the power button so it shut off. Now I can't get it to start at all.

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
Here is again the short version:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > GO hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.
Regards

My iphone 4s will not back up with iCloud. it tells me i dont have enough iCloud storage available, that i can manage my storage in my settings, when i click the settings it tells me i have 2.8 GB free space out of 5 GB. i dont know what to do about this problem. it hasnt been backed up in 3 weeks. and if i still have icloud space avaliable on my phone i do not need to purchase more. i have very few aps backed up on my icloud. i do not understand this help me please
Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top). The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

File transfer via Bluetooth is not supported without a third party app on both devices.
Forget Bluetooth (which is quite slow anyway) and use a cloud service like Dropbox. -
ITunes will not finish sync with Apps!!! HELP!!
I have a Iphone 4s with ios 6 running on it and just yesterday it will not follow thru with the apps that i purchase from Itunes on the comp... It starts the process but when it gets to "Determining Apps To Sync" it just stops, no error message no nothing!!! HELP!!! I tried uninstalling Itunes and loading a fresh copy and it did not work, new cable!! HELP!!!
ThansI figured it out!!! You need to uninstall Itunes completely from the PC, make sure you go into the System Files, these are located under start, my computer, then a folder called "program files", make sure you delete the Itunes entirely and empty the recycle bin, restart the comp, install itunes once again, load all your purchased apps/music/etc.. Authorize the computer, Sync the Iphone and YAY!!!! It works!!!!
Thanks all for the 411!! -
I need a new graphics card for my iMac Apple will not sell me one so I can repair it myself, help
my graphics card as gone on my iMac Apple will not sell me one so that I can repair it myself, any suggestions
not sure which iMac you have but since the old 24" model the video card is not a separate board but a part of the main board so to fix it you would have to buy a smd gpu chip and solder the smd legs manually few people can manage such feat the only leg compatible gpu chips would work of cause in which case it would be more of a nvidia or amd having to sell you the gpu chip then apple as apple don't make gpu chips

New MBP will not log on with Apple ID
Trying to set up my new MBP Retina for the first time (using WiFi), but it will not log on with my Apple ID due to some server error.
This is certainly not the first time I've set up a new Mac, but it's certainly the very first time I have encountered a problem while doing so.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.Just skip this step. It is most likely due to an issue on Apple's end, not yours. You can set up iCloud and iTunes later by following these steps:
https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
I hope I helped. -
my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!
It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon. I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem, The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
8gb free,
ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
carrier - Verizon 14.0
Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
Can someone help.
I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
computer osx is 10.5.8
itunes version 10.
I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues. -

Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).

My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC. I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Hey Oynkus,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5. Did you update iTunes as well?
If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Info.
Select the items you want to sync.
Click Apply.
Take care,
Nubz

Parental Controls does not delete explicit song titles
If music has explicit lyrics, parental controls makes this music inaccessible. That's fine, but parental controls should also make explicit titles invisible. Why display the titles of music that cannot be accessed to children? Message was edited by:
