How do I force quit an iPhone 4 that won't force quit using home and on/off keys?

My iPhone 4 went nuts when I tried to download the latest iOS via the update section under settings.  It is now blinking between the opening Apple icon and a black screen independently.  I cannot force shut down the phone using the home and on/off buttons and my computer (iMac) will not recognize the phone when plugged in, therefore, I can't reset it from the computer either.  What do I do now?

Try holding the home button and the lock button at the same time for 10 seconds.

  • We have 10 ipads connected to 1 computer and 1 account. How can I change/erase an account so that the seperate offices can use itunes and synchonise itselve?

    Hi there!
    Our department (marketing) wanted to control the input of the iPads. We found out it was useless because our salesteam wanted to personalize the ipad (think about projectspecific items etc.) It is impossible for 1 person to control 10 iPads and deliver input for each different iPad. So we decided that each office can have its own account. But these ipads are already connected to 1 computer (i know you can connect them to a max. of 5 computers, but that is not enough in this case..) They can make there own account with their personal creditcard or that of the office. How can i disconnect the iPads en still remain the files on the iPads?
    With kind regards,
    Willeke

    Whatt ype of "files" are you concerned about?  Are they purchases from the AppStore or music, video etc, or something else? If you are concerned about Apps, one method of centrally distributing apps is to purchase apps with a corporate credit card, and then "gift" them to the various employees.  The "gifted" app is sent to the email address you specify and can actually be forwarded, prior to install to another user for their use...

  • I have iphone 4s that won't sync. Using windows 7, iphone software is up to date as is itunes. Itunes says sync session could not be started when iphone plugged in or over wifi.

    Have tried to sync my iphone 4s over wifi and using usb. Both methods unsuccesful. Have checked to make sure updates are not needed for iphone and itunes, have evem restored iphone system which wiped music, pics and apps from iphone. Message comes up saying "sync session could not be started." Windows 7 recognises iphone is there, as does itunes but itunes will not sync with iphone. Don't know if it helps at all but i did recently add an old 2nd gen ipod mini to the same itunes. Would this have any affect on iphone not syncing? Any advice would be amazing as this is very frustrating. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

    You get this message when trying to back up to iCloud?  That error message is normally associated with backing up to your computer using iTunes, not backing up to iCloud.  Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup to be sure iCloud Backup is turned On at the bottom.

  • Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

    Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

    I don't know about the "3" but it's a POP account. I've always suspected that Charter isn't letting go using their mobile apps for iOS. Puzzling that it doesn't block the other way. That is if Mail is open on the iMac it doesn't block access to Mail on either the iPad or iPhone. I'm guessing it's their mobile apps that are the problem but they won't admit it to me.

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 1 that is blocked (because of wrong passwords) and isn't recognized by iTunes. How do I fix this? Thanks for your help!

    By the way I'm using a MacMini and all operating systems are up to date including iTunes.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

    You need to change your Apple ID password.  You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

    Hi Frank!
    you should catch your save-event and after saving put the following line:
    oMatrix.Columns.Item(4).Cells.Item(lstRowIndex + 1).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
    that's it!

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

  • Unwanted iPhone application that won't go away

    Can anyone tell me how to get rid of an iPhone application that I originally downloaded, but decided quite quickly I didn't want?
    About 6 to 9 months ago I downloaded iWorkout Lite - decided almost immediately that I didn't want it. So I deleted it from both my iPhone and iTunes. Fast forward to today and I'm still finding iWorkout regularly in my updated applications when I sync my phone to iTunes. It's constantly trying to download itself. I don't want this application, I'll never want this application, but having pressed 'download' originally I seem to be plagued with this app as it tries to update or reinstall itself time after time. Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot
    N

    Did you try this? Delete it in itunes applications section first. Then, without connecting, delete it on the phone (by touching until the icon is shaking, then hit the little cross). Disable autosync, connect the phone and sync.

  • I bought an iPhone 5S in the USA, however he warmed up and took off the screen, I live in Brazil and they do not give assistance to my device, but I can not go back to the U.S. just to change the iphone, what should I do to solve my problem ?

    I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
    If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport"  it replies it cannot locate it)
    I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
    Perhaps iOS  Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
    Use Google Maps instead
    BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!

    You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
    This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they  therefore respond

    try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

  • I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it.  It says "preparing to update" eternally.  Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day.  arg.

    I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it.  It says "preparing to update" eternally.  Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day.  arg.
    I have tried direct connecting the iphone 4, via wifi, everything.  I hate itunes with a passion, but it seems to be a necessary evil.  I dont know why I would have no trouble with my iphone 3.  I am using the same technique for both phones.  Find the music I want in the library and drag it to the iphone.  Works on IOS 6, not IOS 7.
    WHat else should I try?

    Hi jeffmbellucci,
    If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

    Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom?  I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

    You could download a trial and see how well it works before committing to a subscription. You get 30 days to decide.
