My web screen is frozen (grey shaded) and will not let me close out page.

my web screen is frozen (grey shaded) and will not let me close out page. 4 pages open now.

Tap the home button to go to the home screen. Then go to Settings>Safari>Clear history, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then press the sleep button and hold until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the button and let the iPad boot up. Try Safari agin.

Had an iPhone 4 updating the OS when it was interrupted by the computer going to sleep and now is frozen on "plug into iTunes" screen. Home/Power button combo will not reset, iTunes does not acknowledge the phone is plugged in.

I recently upgraded to the 5s, so I delegated my old iPhone 4 to a music player/daughter checking instagram and email. Three days ago I plugged the iPhone 4 into iTunes to update it, the OS began updating. During the update my computer went into sleep mode, interrupting the OS update. Now the phone will not do anything but show the screen with the graphic indicating to plug the phone into iTunes. I've tried a hard reset (holding down power button/home button), plugging the phone into iTunes before/during holding down the home button, holding down the buttons for various lengths of time in various permutations according to info I've found online, etc, and nothing happens beyond a brief showing of the Apple logo and then back to the same screen. iTunes will make a connection noise when the phone is plugged in but otherwise makes no indication that a device is plugged in (no iPhone button in the tool bar, etc.). Any ideas or do I need to take it to an actual Apple store and hope they don't tell me it is completely bricked?

Yep, done all that. Repeatly. Don't get any sort of recovery mode message or the phone showing up on iTunes at all. iTunes is most current version, all diagnostics show everything fine, and it works fine with my current phone. Just....nothing.

I am manually surfing on a traffic exchange, and my screen is frozen. The timer will not continue

I am manually surfing on a traffic exchange. My countdown timer froze at 6 and will not go down to zero. I have tried refreshing the page, and it does not help. Also I have cleared my browsing history entirely.
Is there a solution, or do I need to reinstall Firefox?

Did you try a reset? Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Ipod was fully charged.
Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad

How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

Ipad 2 locked up when updating iOS 8.1.3 today and will not reset or even turn off

went to update iPad 2 from iOS 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 and it froze while updating. Then error it could not update because of problem. But it is locked on screen with cord to iTunes and will not reset or turn off. Can't get to screen to do reset in iTunes or anything. help

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

The screen with the plug pointed to itunes is frozen and my computer will not recognize the ipod

The screen on my ipod touch has a pic with the plug pointed to the itunes logo and it is frozen. The computer will not recognize the ipod anymore. I had updated the itunes to the latest version and the it was in the process of updating software in the ipod. It said that the download could not be completed. This is a new ipod touch.

Hello llp03,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. The following troubleshooting assistant provides steps that may lead to a resolution:
Apple - Support - iPad - iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes
- Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
- If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
- If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode.

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

Can you directly redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
