My ipad won't open up all of a sudden. The battery is not dead. Is there a reset button?

Try holding down the sleep and home buttons for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple it's rebooting and just let it do its thing.

HT1349 My ipod touch won't turn on. The battery is not dead. When I plug it in to the charger or computer nothing happens.

My ipod touch won't turn on. The battery is not dead. When I plug it in to the charger or my computer nothing happens. Does anyone know what to do?

You might want to post your question over in the iPod Touch forums (this is iPhone): https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_touch.

HT1766 My ipad won't open anything. Message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks.Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.

My ipad won't open anything. I get the message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. This device has beern plugged in and has 62% power. I can't access any buttons including the ok under the icloud backup message.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS3274 My iPad won't open apps that I have downloaded and they did not put an icon on my iPad but they say open when I go to them on itunes

My iPad won't open the new apps I am downloading. It didn't even put an icon on the iPad but it does say to open in the iTunes Store.

Try disable all restrictions.

IPhoto won't open. All it has is the downloading symbol.

I click on iPhoto to open it and it pops up but all it has is the dowloading symbol, but nothing happens. Please help!

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue. For instance, what's the "downloading symbol"?

My ipad1 won't turn on - the battery was not dead - I tried holding in the home button and the start button but got no response - just a black screen

My IPad 1 won't turn on - I have tried the tip of holding the start and the home button for 10 seconds - nothing happened. The battery is also not dead. Please help. It has been 2 days!!

I reccomend bringing it to the Apple genius bar.
Try to connect to iTunes, and if it works restore it.

My ipad was playing music then just shut off, it won' t turn back on and the battery was not dead. Never happened before, what do i do?

I was playing music and all the sudden my ipad turned off and will not turn back on.THe batterie was at 80% and this has never happened before, it still won't turn on even when charging
WHat do i do?

Does a Reset work? Mostly unlikely! [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Why does my app Documents have my photos in it?all of a sudden? I did not put them there! I'd like to delete them out of documents, but it will not let me, the app I mean? How am I delete the photos out of it?

HHi, I'm new here, but just this morning, I opened the app documents to load some information for study purposes. I saw a folder called photo library. Opened and saw all my photos in it. I did not place them in it. The app functions do not permit me to delete them. I have struggled with this all morning, and find myself here. I also ask a few friends who upon checking found a similar thing on their. IPads also. What we want to know is.........Hiw can we delete the photos out of the app Documents?
WHen we we got to lookin into it, we have found that we probably got this auto done with the new sharing feature and we will have to turn off photo share, which it says will delete all photos from iPad. Is this my only option?

Well you could have trashed your Silverlight install in some way.
That's what it looks like, but I'm not sure how, or how to fix it. I spent ages trying to get all the SL stuff installed, and had a lot of problems, mainly because of the issue with VS2010 SP1.
Does your app rely on a certificate though?
I wonder whether it's an issue with that.
It does, although I'm not sure why that would cause this problem.
Also, I get the same problem when running in VS, and if it were a certificate problem, I wouldn't expect that, as (I think) certificates aren't used when running in VS. Could be wrong on that, so if you know better, please correct me.
You realise, by the way, that Google have sety npapi disabled by default this month?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30387.silverlight-trouble-shooting-installs.aspx#Chrome
Ho hum, wonderful eh? Don't know what mine showed before, but I've got SL working in Chrome now, so it's academic (until September of course)
Hope that helps.
Sadly, I don't think it does. I still get this error, whether running in VS, or running the production app. I really need to work out how to fix my SL install without having to uninstall and reinstall all of it yet again. I think that's the crux of the problem.
Thanks very much for the reply. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox has been crashing when I try to close it and now won't open at all.

For some time now, Firefox has been timing out when I tried to close it, making it necessary to "force quit." Now it won't open at all. Even more strangely, I'm not able to send a crash report to Apple (I get the message "submission failed").
I've tried downloading the newest version, downloading plug-ins, and starting in "safe mode."
Also strange, in my bookmarks section the little icons had disappeared lately.

Sorry I do not use Mac s Unless someone provides a better answer I suggest you start with looking at
* [[latest firefox issues]] (watch for any updates about new issues)
* [[firefox crashes]] <br> That article provides general tips and suggestions, and explains how to obtain a crash ID, something that you can do even when firefox will not start
You may need to investigate the possibility of a malware problem, but try to obtain a crash ID first, that may provide a clue to the problem.

Phone shut off and won't turn back on. Battery is not dead. What can I do?

My iphone4 shut off and won't turn back on. The battery is not dead, I tried plugging it in to power and to my computer and connecting to itunes. Nothing works. It is like the phone is just dead. Any ideas?

Plug iPhone into Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on wall charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

After Syncing all... when i opened a game app, it won't open. All of the game applications won't open! I don't know why. Help me!:)

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

ITunes won't open at all... only error messages

hey guys,
no idea what's going on with my iTunes its really annoying though here's the scoop i got a lot of bad crap on my comp. so i had it formatted by a guy at work came home installed itunes opened it up it worked great all the sudden it closes itself and now it won't open at all i've redownloaded it at least ten times... nothing works... soon as i click on the iTunes icon it says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i sent the error report and it said Apple had a solution to my problem.. but after hours of searching i have found nothing so i'm just going to post this up hoping someone knows whats up (um just for some info i went to my add/remove hardware and quicktime wasn't in there... that's not right i think someone let me know lol)
any help would be much appreciated really wanting to update my new songs on my iPod

No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,

Mail suddenly won't open at all

I clicked on the stammp icon for my mac mail about 3 days ago and it won't open at all. No matter how often you click, it does nothing. If I access it through the web, it works on the web, but not straight from the icon. My ical program quit opening the same day. Any ideas about how to fix this?
Thanks!

In the Finder, go to /Applications/. Can you see Mail there? Try to open it by double-clicking on it.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, take a look at the following article, in case this is a font issue:
Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
You may also want to read the following article:
Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch
If the above doesn't work, proceed as follows to try to identify the problem:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/, and try to open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.
