HT4061 The slider on the opening screen wont 'slide to unlock'?

I have new iphone and trying to clear old phone to pass on but I seem to have got so far and now the slider on opening screen 'slide to unlock' is stuck. I have tried holding on/off key and screen button down. Can anyone help?

Try holding down the on/ff and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, it can take up to 30 sec.

My ipod screen wont slide to unlock and i have just reset it to factory settings, help!

Seems like a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

I dropped my iphone 4s on the floor and now my screen wont turn on. it isnt cracked or anything. also when someone rings me my ringtone plays but nothing appears on the screen

Hi. So I dropped my iPhone 4s on the floor, and now my screen won't display anything, but it still plays sounds, for example when someone rings or text me.
Please help me ASAp, and I will be grateful for any help

Try a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, if it doesn't "appear" but does restart, does it then turn on?
If not, time to visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run some tests to see what is wrong.

The Welcome to the X1 Operating System opening screen question

I got a new X1 box today and went to install it and the screen seems to be stuck at the "Welcome to the X1 Operating System" screen. How long should this screen be on for before it advances in the installation process? My box also says boot and that is not changing as well. What should the box say?

Yes, the new box is hooked up in the exact same place where the old one was. Trust me, I have unplugged it many times. I have a technician coming out tomorrow.

The bottom half of my screen wont work. i cant unlock my phone

is there anything i can do to fix this

Since you say you cannot unlock, have you tried a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if it appears. if that does not help, a visit to an Apple store genius bar is in order.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.

button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My ipod screen wont respond to touch

My ipod was working just fine last night, then today I tried to listen to it and the screen wont swipe to unlock or anything.... What do I do? I've rebooted, restored it, everything, but it wont respond to touch.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

TS2634 my iphone 4s wont slide from one screen to the next and I have to double tap on an icon to make it work. How do I fix this??

My iphone 4s wont slide from one screen to the next and I have to double tap on each icon to open it. I can hear siri talking and telling me what each icon or button I press is. How do I fix this problem? I have restored my phone to last saved but the problem still remains.

My problem was fixed via your suggestion. Thanks. Then I heard, though it hasn't been substantiated by anyone I know, that pushing the the round "start" button after the unit is on three rapid times will solve the problem. Do you know if this is valid info?

Every time I open a second document the 1st one slides off the screen and I have to reopen everything. I want to view more than 1 document at the same time.

How can I view and work on more than one document at a time? I've never had a problem with this but suddenly every time I open a new document the 1st one slides over out of sight. How do I get that to stop?

Hi bbd,
Here is a screen shot of two documents open side by side. Drag the first document to the left of the screen. Open another document and drag it to the right of the screen.
I have not had an open document slide from view. Puzzling!
Regards,
Ian.

HT1926 whenever i try to click the itunes icon on my screen, i get a ' itunes software liscence agreement' coming up, i click agree but itunes never opens, my ipod wont make it open! (ive never had problems with itunes on my other computer)

it all started when i installed itunes, which i have never done before on this computer as its new (second hand , but i mean new as in wiped clean)
i downloaded the latest itunes software from the website, and everything went smoothly. when i dobule-clicked the icon on my home screen, a 'apple itunes software liscence agreement' window popping up, it had 'save as' 'agree' and 'disagree' buttons, naturally i clicked 'agree' the window went away, but nothing (even 30 minutes later, with the computer untouched) happened. frustrated i repeatedly opened it up, again and again, only to be greeted by the same window, and same blank home screen. even connecting my ipod wont force it open, changing cables wont work, and uninstalling seems a very distant probmise to fix this error. HELPP MEEE! I am nothing without my beloved ipod!
thanks everyone,
ange

My 2nd gen. ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and it won't slide... Shows lock symbol at top. What do I do to fix it???

My 2nd generation ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and won't let me slide to open. It shows the lock symbol at the top. This is my first time to have one so I'm a little lost... Is it fried or is there a trick to unlock and get it open? Yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff and I have no manuel to read and learn from. Someone please help!!!!

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.
