  • How can you start up your ipod if holding the hold and home button does not work?

    how can you start up your ipod if holding the hold and home button does not work?

    Remi,
    How long did you hold these buttons for? Did you try more than once?  Have you tried letting it charge for a bit and trying again?
    If nothing else, see this article for more troubleshooting assistance.

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

    Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
    Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.

    My iPhone 4 worked fine last night.  When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on.  I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work.  Any suggestions?

    Then it looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.
