I have a 4th generation iTouch and the screen will not slide to unlock. I have tried resetting it. Any tips?

My iTouch touch screen will not work. When I go to unlock it, to slide the thing on the bottom of the screen, it doesn't even seem to sense that the screen is being touched. Also, because of this, I cannot turn it off because the screen doesn't know I'm trying to slide the power off slide on the screen. I have tried holding the power button and the button on the bottom to reset it, but it didn't help. Is there anything else I could try?

If it still does it after a restore, you most likely have a bad screen digitizer. Contact Apple and get it repaired.

I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

My iphone S4 is locked and will not slide to unlock

I just had this problem two days ago and the Apple support line suggested that I press power and home button at same time. It took a few tries and the Apple logo showed and everything started working again. The screen now is sensitive to touch and I can unlock it to answer called, etc.
Thank you Apple

HT4623 I clicked on an e-mail and now my IPad is stuck and the screen will not convert back to my e-mail list. How do I get the screen to go back to my original mail list?

My mail screen will not convert to the original mail listings. this happened when I clicked on an attachment sent with an e-mail. How can I get the mail screen unstuck?

Hi donna Ifromwa,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPad is unresponsive after clicking on an attachment and you cannot return to your email inbox, I recommend forcing the attachment and Mail app to close using this method:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close

If you still cannot access your email, restart your iPad next:

I can access the camera but the screen will not open to allow me to take pictures

I can acess the camera app on my itouch but the screen will not open to allow me to take pictures. Has anyone had this problem?

Yes others have. If the following (in order) does not solve the problem) an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
- Reset 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.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

What is the difference between the 4th generation ipad and the ipad 3 with retnia display?

What is the difference between the 4th generation iPad and the "New iPad with retina display"? i don't quite understand. are they stilll the same size or would i have to get a different case?

The 3rd and 4th generation iPads are the same size. The 4 has a faster processor, and a little better iSight camera for FaceTime. The 4 also has the lightning connector so your old cable will not work with the iPad 4.
You should always check with the manufacturer of the case to see if it will fit. You can probably do that on the manufacturers website.
This might be of some interest to you.

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 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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen has gone completely blank. It is fully charged and will play music but I have no idea where anything is.

I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen is black - it is fully charged and will play music but there is nothing to be seen on the screen. I have no idea how to fix this. We live in France now so any of the fixes have to be in English since I can't read French. Any advise would be greatly appreaciated. I looked at some of the other answers but I have no idea where the Hold button would be on this. Thanks.

I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

I ordered my new S5 online and after following the steps outlined in exact order, my old phone no longer works and the S5 will not authenticate. Now I have no phone and I am becoming frustrating.

I ordered my new S5 online and after following the steps outlined in exact order, my old phone no longer works and the S5 will not authenticate. Now I have no phone and I am becoming frustrating.
It downloaded all my contacts, photo's with no problem. I called the number they gave me from my old phone and then turned it off. I then put the sim card in and charged the phone. I followed all the setup steps and no I cannot send any text or make any phone calls. I get a message that they cannot authenticate my phone to dial #8899 but get the same message.

Hello Notahappycamper1962
Let's get that S5 up and running! I want you to love the S5! Is the old device powered off? What zip code are you in?
I look forward to hearing from you and getting this addressed.
