I cannot slide the screen when I want to activate my phone - is there an easy fix or do I need to drop it into the Apple Shop?

My iPhone 5c has just begun to play up. When I active the on button it asks you to Slide to Open, however I cannot perform that function. I tried turning it off by holding down the Power Button but when the sign comes saying slide to turn off, I cannot do that either ..... has anyone experienced this issue and if so how did you overcome the problem?

Hi necjd123,
If your iPhone's touchscreen is not responding, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting steps below.
Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Unplug your device.
Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

  • On my Iphone 3 that I just got, the letters I, K, N do not work. Is there an easy fix or do I need to take it to the store for a replacement.

    What can I do to fix the phone and get the keys I, K, N to work? Do I have to take it back?

  • I have a CD stuck in the drive.  Is there are quick fix or do I need to take it into an Apple store.  I have a MacBook Pro 15"

    I have a disc stuck in the drive.  Is there a fix I can perform or do I need to bring my MacPro to the Apple store?
    Phil

    Here are some standard remedies.
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    So to everyone with the same issues the only way to salvage ur iphone is to get a new one. Best bit was that i came with ios 5.1.1 and i am stcking with it!
    Good luck

  • The items I have purchased in the itunes store are not showing up in my libray. A few are on my actual ipod touch, but not in the itunes library. Is there an easy fix to this or is it maybe something in the settings that I'm missing?

    It's just not making sense to me that it's a purchased item from the itunes store and it isn't appearing in their program.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Regards

  • I set my passcode in arabic then I changed the language to English, when I wanted to open my ipad later there was no arabic letters to enter my arabic passcode..and I am not able to use my Ipad again please let me know what to do

    I set my passcode in Arabic then I changed the language to English, when I wanted to open my ipad later there was no Arabic letters to enter my Arabic passcode..and I am not able to use my Ipad again please advice me what to do

    Hello Shaholeh87,
    Do you see a Globe icon on left hand side of your Spacebar if yes try pressing that and see if you get an option of changing the keboard language (this will work if you have Multiple language set on your iPhone from Settings>General>Keyboard>International Keyboards and added a keyboard in Arabic Language before )
    Or you can get your iPhone in Recovery Mode and Restore it to Factory settings but you will lose all your current Data that you have on your iPhone.
    To Restore your iPhone by taking it in Recovery Mode you can follow the below steps :
    Follow the process mentioned below step by step to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad working.
    Make sure you have Latest Version of iTunes (11.1.3) Downloaded and Installed on your Computer, if not then you can download the latest version of iTunes from the Link below.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now once you have the Updated version of iTunes installed on your computer follow the below steps to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad in Recovery Mode and Then restore it to factory settings
    Open iTunes Application on your computer and then start the process step by step
    1>Disconnect your device from the computer (if connected). The process won’t work if you start with the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad connected to the computer. Leave the cable connected to the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, as you will be reconnecting the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to the Computer later in the process.
    2>Power down your device. Turn off your device by holding down the Power button ( On Top right corner of iPod). When the power slider appears, slide it to the right. Wait for your device to comepletely shut down before continuing.
    3>Press and hold the Home button (Home Button is located at bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad screen/display). With the Home button held connect the device to your computer with the USB cable. When reconnected, your device should turn on.
    (If the low battery screen appears, charge your device for a few minutes and try the process again.)
    4>Continue holding the Home button. After a few moments, you will see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your device. This screen is a picture of an arrow pointing from a USB cable to the iTunes logo. When you see the screen you can release the Home button.
    5>iTunes will display a message stating that a device in recovery mode has been connected. From there you can proceed to restore your iOS device. Once you see this message click on OK and then click on Restore
    Once you click on Restore iTunes will download the Latest available version of iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad software (ipsw file) in your computer and after the download is completed the same will be restored in your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. You will see the Download process and Restore process on top of your iTunes screen. Once the restore is completed your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad will automatically restart and you will see a message that iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad has been Restored and will connect after restart.
    Now you will have to follow some steps on your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to Customize your Device for First Use.
    Hope this process will help you

  • How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

    I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
    Here is the start method to show the stage.
        @Override
        public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
            this.stage = stage;
            Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
            ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
            scene = new Scene(root);
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.show();
    here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
        public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
              //change the language here
    1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
    this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
    2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
        public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
             try
                loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
                root = (Parent)loader.load();
                scene.setRoot(root);
                FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
                controller.setMain(this);
            catch(Exception err)
                err.printStackTrace();
    So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
    Thanks and best regards!

    Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
    Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
    Why don't you want to use option 2?
    Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that).  If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change.  Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.

  • How can I make iPhone 4S Video's fill the screen when using them in iMovie 11 on My MacBook Pro

    Hey Guys.
    I am a singer songwriter from he UK.... I recently bought an Iphone4s, Ipad and Mac book pro (haha, apple hero, I know). I have always wanted to make the big jump to apple, just was waiting a little while.
    I am thrilled so far, it's all great. But, I use Imovie (i am still getting to grips with it, but the features are amazing) to make videos of me singing coversand original videos for youtube.
    The Camera on the iphone4s is great.
    But, when I import videos into Imovie11, the videos do not fill the screen in their original form.
    In some videos, I use the Ken Burns effect. Now, on the parts of my video when I use this effect, it fills the screen as it should do.
    Why do the videos in their untampered form not do this?  I have tried importing widescreen, original size, and Large, but it alwys sits in the middle of the screen, fairly thin lookin. It fills the screen when it's on my Iphone, I am very lost.
    plesse help.
    thanks.

    if i can offer any more info please just ask

    Help!  I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole.  I have to select each address individually.  This can't be right.  With 10.6.8 I used to be able to double click on the name of the group and they would all be selected.  I've also noticed that my address book is now called "contacts."  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
         Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
