my phone froze so i switched it off using the power button and home. now everytime it switches on, it wont go past the apple screen??
Hello 3m4nz4,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may occasionally stop responding to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input and may exhibit one or more of these symptoms:
Does not return to the Home screen after you press the Home button
Does not wake from sleep after you press the Sleep/Wake button
Does not turn on (or power on) when you press any button
Does not start up past Apple logo
Appears frozen or unresponsive
Is unable to "Slide to Unlock" or "Slide to Power Off"
To troubleshoot these symptoms:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or 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, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My iphone 4 wont turn on after hours of charging, normally i would press the lock button and home button together but my lock button stopped working afue weeks ago. Help!
Hello Kimbo1991,
It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps with ios7
Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

my iphone suddenly died as well. Holding the sleep button and home button together got it going again. Any ideas why this happened?
No, I don't think anyone here would know.
Mine has done that once or twice. -
I had trouble upgrading my iPad2 toiOS 5.1.I have had it for about 1 year. I had never upgraded it. I tried a few times but I kept getting a message that I would loose everything on my iPad if I did. I bit the bullet andfigured that I would restore it from the back up on my laptop. Some of the backup files were corrupted. I was unable to retore my exchange email or my notes from the noted app.
Today, my iPad shut off for no reason and I couldn't get it to turn on again, even though the battery was 70% charged. I had to press the on button and home button to get it to come back on.I'm not sure what problem you are experiancing but it would be well worth contacting apple.
If you have had it for less than one year it should be covered under warrenty
All The best

I updated my ipod on my computer to the ios 5.1.1 and it updated but all of the music, movies, and apps were cleared off. I cannot put any of it back on please help!
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -
With the mute switch OFF - I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons.
When someone calls/texts there is no sound coming from the speaker.
The headphone jack works when I listen to the Ipod and the speaker works when I change the ringer volume through settings. So i know that the speaker does work
Headphone jack seems clean and dust free
I heard that there may be a Skype issue than can control the speaker volume - so i deleted it but i still cannot get any sound from regular functions.
When I play the Ipod through the speaker with no headphones there is no option to change the volume and no sound.
If it works when i go through settings to set my ring volume, my ringtone plays - then why does it not work otherwise?I have Iphone4s 16GB, IOS7.0.4 updates having a problem , that when i press + or - volume keys while my iphone is ringing my iphone 4s goes silent .
Whereas you know silent key is used to make the ringing phone silent. This button is working ok while only problem is my iphone goes silent while pressing + or - volume keys as these keys should increase / lower the ringing volume . These keys were ok working in IOS 6.
Where as these keys are also working ok in music player of iphone for IOS 7, the only problem is for ringing. -
My iphone 5 has frozen. I have tried pressing the top and home button together but it still doesn't work.
Siri works but I can't swipe to unlock or get any further.I am experiencing the same problem
My phone was exposed to literallya drop of water and has since become unresponsive to touch, slide, or tap.
Only the home button and sleep button work
please help
ive tried rebooting but still the problem persists -
How do I power off my phone when both the lock button and home button are malfunctioning?
My home button and lock button don't work. My screen is frozen and I need to know if there's a way that I can power off my phone or reset it.
Hold both down at same time for about 10-15 seconds and see if it restarts. If not, the battery will eventually die at which point it will shut down.
You'd need to get the phone repaired/replaced if your buttons are truly broken. -

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am getting a msg that my ipad hasnt been backed up in 2 wks. I have plugged in (at 100%) and locked and connected to wifi. I can not hit the ok button and my apps are showing in the back ground. Not able to use at all. How can I get my ipad working again.
thanks,Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Presonus FirePod MAX volume problem
Hey Gang, I got a FirePod not too long ago. Since hookup, EVERYTIME I restart my machine the volume levels are at MAX. Unless I remember to physically turn the volume down I will get blasted. I guess the 'hardware' has to 'reconnect' to the input??.
