Help! Can't Exit Phone Mode????

Hey all,
I got 2 3G's (my wife and me) this morning mine got stuck in phone mode. It defaults to my favorites, and i can only select dialpad, contacts, favorites, and voicemail from the bottom.
I can't exit out to get to my apps, settings, anything? I've tried turning the phone off and on, and popping the sim card, it always takes me back to my favorites in the phone mode, and that's it??
any ideas?

I had to exchange my phone today due to a faulty home button. Had a lot of problems exiting anything. The button on the new phone feels a lot different. If you continue to have problems, go to the apple store and have them check the home button.

.xlsm Can't exit design mode because Control 'Command Button 3' can not be created

I have several Windows 7 Enterprise machines that cannot open one .xlsm file properly. When it opens, it is opening in Design mode rather than as a spreadsheet with macros. My users are getting the error "Can't exit design mode because Control
'Command Button 3' can not be created". All our machines have Office 2010 ProPlus, but this file will only open on the XP PC's that have yet to be upgraded. Any ideas?

Hi,
How do you create the button in Excel 2010? Just insert the control manually or insert it using a macro? This issue may be caused by the controls aren't instantiated before you can exit design mode.
Please try the method:
Code can only run after all controls are instantiated and properly connected. Make sure every file needed for the control is available before trying again.

Can't exit safe mode - Satellite A300

Hello. Hope someone can help!
My laptop goes into safe mode when I start it up and cannot get it to start back in normal mode. I have tried "Repair your computer" - doing a startup repair and a system restore, with no success.
I ran cmd/sfc/scannow and the following message comes up: "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.logwindir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:winddows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"
Will I need to do a complete PC restore or HDD recovery?
I have made a recovery disk. Would programs that I have installed (e.g Microsoft Office) be saved on the recovery disk? If not how would I save this program (I have mislaid the installation disk)?.
Many thanks in advance!!

The same opinion here. Preinstalled OS is corrupted and best option for you is to install OS again using Toshiba recovery image.
If you use recovery disc for OS installation the whole HDD will be formatted and before you do this backup all your important data.
You have probably HDD option too (F8 > Repair my computer). In this case the partition C will be formatted only and all data saved on second partition will be safe.
All additional applications youve installed in the past will be deleted so after OS installation you must install all this again.
Bye

How can I exit console mode?

I attempted to bring up the Force Quit dialog while logged in. To do so, I pressed Command-Option-Escape. When I did so, I was logged out, and my iMac entered what seems to be console mode. I received a message with the date and imac getty: dev/console: Operation not supported by device. I received no further prompts, and typing exit (or anything else) has no result. Booting off of my cloned backup has the same result. This screen appears after the boot panel with the progress bar, but does not let me get to the desktop. Any and all assistance with exiting this and getting my iMac to boot normally is greatly appreciated.

Can't exit Recovery Mode

Hello,
So 2 days ago I was charging my iPhone 5C, and after I plug it out from the charger, it showed me that it's on Recovery Mode...
I connect it on iTunes, clicked Restore iPhone, but in the end it pops up an error: "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)."
What do I have to do?
Thank you.

Hello GDTS,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5c. I found an article with steps to take when getting specific errors when restoring an iPhone.
The following section addresses error 9:
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

HT4972 Can't update iPad 2 from iOS 4 to iOS 6. Also, can't exit "safe mode"

I have an iPad 2 and I'm still running iOS 4. My iPad is currently in "safe mode" and I have no idea how to fix this. Therefore, when I connect to iTunes, it's not letting me update my iOS version when I'm prompted to update. I try to wipe my iPad and do a reset but the status bar just stays empty for hours and in the end, no results.
Also, there are some apps that my son installed(I was unaware) that are not removable, could this have anything to do with my problems.
Please help!!!

Exiting bedside mode in 10.0.10.85

I can't exit bedside mode by swiping down and selecting exit. This action does nothing. I have to swipe up and then close the clock active frame.

Hey arkaroola,
Thanks for the question.
It is by design to swipe up from the bottom to exit bedside mode.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

After upgrading to windows phone 10, I just face several bugs as expected, including screen unlock bug. I just try app corner feature on my phone. That`s led to a big mistake. I can`t exit from the app corner mode. While pressing the power off
button and swap right, nothing happens. (In lock screen, it doesn`t show that swap right to exist. I think this problem also related to locks screen bug. Even I try to remove the battery. But, still I struck at app corner. Please

Very very disappointed. Sorry about windows phone. I have argued quit a lot with friends. Trying to convince them that WP are extremely good and nice to work with. Unfortunately they keep telling me about the poor apps of WP. Unfortunately I can now start seeing the problem. Guess what, I wasconsidering of buying my father a WP. Guess what. I will probably stick to android. Badly played about that. Farewell. Disappointed 7.8 WP customer from Athens Greece.

Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
    After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
    I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
    Here is my question:
ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

To answer your answer:
a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?

On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode, I can't hear anything nor can anyone hear me! Help. Please.

On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Hello Angela,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone. I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Hello lyndsey1430,
From what I can gather, it sounds like you're having issues restoring your device. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning recovery mode:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

Hi All can anyone help me, I have a Iphone 4s and I'm currently recieving nuisance calls via a blocked number is there anyway I can stop my phone accepting blocked numbers? Cheers

Hi all I'm Currently recieving Nuisance Calls via a Blocked number is there anyway I can stop my Iphone accepting Blocked Numbers? Thanks

There is a way! I'm very happy to share this and hope it helps those who find themselves plagued, as I was.
I have been getting nuisance calls for months from some muppet, who hides his phone number before he calls at 3am. I need to keep my phone on, in case any of my immediate family have an emergency. I'm sure many have the same problem, just turning off the phone is not an option. I have been to two or three shops to ask the experts and none could offer me a solution. I was on the verge of tring to jailbreak my phone or even get rid of it to get an andriod one...That's how bad things had become.
Anyway, this is my solution, which I found by trawling through page after page on the internet, for ages and trying various other solutions first. I have an iPhone 4S and the operating system is 6.1.3 and I am in the UK, on Orange, or EE as we should now call it. I cannot promise it will help everyone, but it works for me.
Go to Settings, Do Not Disturb and switch this on. Underneath here, go to Notifications, then Do Not Disturb again. Then Scheduled and set the times you want the restrictions to start and end. For example, I use 7pm to 8am, so that I know I won't get nuisance calls during this period, but whatever times work for you. Underneath, it says Allow calls from and you can select your favourites. If you haven't saved any of your contacts as Favourites, do so, it's very easy. Just go to contacts, open one and underneath the number there is a button to Add to favourites. Repeat for all close friends and family you want to be able to reach you at any time. All your favourites should be allowed to call. I think you can have 50 numbers in the favourites. But any unknown caller should be simply sent to voicemail.
Apple have had some previous issues with the Do Not Disturb feature and to be honest this didnt work 100% of the time for me. If you find the same, don't give up. I suggest you do as I did at this point and use an app called Call Bliss, which seems to have cracked it. (I have NO connection to them and it's no skin off my nose if you use this app or not). There may be other apps that do the same, or even better for all I know. You have a free one day trial then it's £3 if you want to continue to use it. For me, £3 to solve the problem was money very well spent. If you need this app, download it, then do as suggested above to the point where it says Allow calls from and this time you select Bliss Exceptions. Follow the instructions in the app.
There are two modes, I use suppress mode, which allows all calls to get through except those from unknown callers and those specified by you. I believe the other mode blocks all calls, except those you specify. Please note, the app only works when the iPhone is locked. Your lock might come on after the phone is not used for 5 minutes or so, or you can lock the phone by single clicking the on/off button (not holding it down).
I hope this helps anyone as much as it has done me.
