Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1212 I have a new computer and I forgot the passcode to my iPod and I want to reset the whole thing how can i do that with a new computer?

    Someone please help!!
    I had an old crap laptop that wasn't apple and I used that for the past 2 years to sync my iPod but I have got rid of that and now I have an iMac. I have forgotton the 4 number digit passcode to my ipod and I have tried about 25 different combinations and I still cant get it right, so I just came to the conclusion that I have to reset the whole thing. I couldn't do it on my old laptop because it would keep running out of memory and I cant get it to connect to my new pc.
    Can someone please guide me through on how to connect it up to something to reset it. Thanks

  • HT4623 I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
    You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • HT204022 I have iPhoto, iOS, etc. all up to date.... however my iPad, iPhone, and Mac PhotoStreams all contain different pictures and aren't the same. Any ideas why? I'd rather not reset the whole thing if I don't have too.

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 - Can't set up email account (Have read previous posts and can't figure out problem. Please help.

    Hi,
    I just bought myself a new Blackberry.
    I've been trying to set up my email account through the wizard set up and have been largely unsuccessful. I read a couple of posts that have given a step-by-step process. My only problem is that I don't have an option that says 'Add account.' Here are the steps I've followed:
    1) Go to Email Setup
    2) Choose 'I want to create or add an email address.
    3) Click next
    4)Click next again
    5)Then, I get a message which says 'Existing Users, to log in, please provide your username and password.'
    I don't have an option to add an account.
    When I put in my username and password into the fields, I get a message saying please enter a valid username.
    (My service provider already set up my Gmail, and couldn't add the other one. I told him I'd figure it out)
    Please help!)
    Thanks so much.
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    The reason you can't log in is that, when you had your carrier set up your GMail, they created a BIS account for you. Further, they created BIS credentials on that account -- which are then needed to access the BIS configuration screens even on the BB. You need those credentials. Contact whoever it is that set it up for you and have them tell you those credentials.
    Good luck!

  • Importing HD footage from A SONY HDR-AX2000.  Imovie on the iPad does not recognize the footage.  IS there a way to format my SD cards so that I can work with imovie on the Ipad???  I have a broken computer and a deadline for a project.  Please help.

    SO, a genius at my store told me there are some bugs to work through with SONy cameras and Apple.  But I needed the sony camera because of how good they are in lowlight, among other features.  Does anyone have trouble with Final Cut and there SONY cameras??  Is there a better video editing software??

  • Firefox will not update for my MAC 10.6.8. I've tried and tried! I still have Firefox 16.0 and my bank requires an update. Please help.

    I see other people have this problem and hope there is a solution. My Firefox browser is stuck on 16.0 and nothing happens when I try to update. It seems to download, but I'm still on 16.0. I have tried every which way to update my browser. Now my bank (online banking) is saying I have to update to continue with them. Please help. (computer: MAC 10.6.8)

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 36.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.

  • I accidentally deleted the "camera icon" on my iphone, is there anyway to get it back without resetting the whole thing?

    Yeah, I just got the iphone on friday so I'm going to be one of those people..
    I was holding the phone while I was helping my sister get the dogs settled in the car and I must have been pressing onto the camera icon and  I didn't even realise it until I looked down after a few minutes and the icon was gone. I was just hoping someone could help me out with that. Please and thank you.

    Go to settings, general - restrictions - camera....make sure it is turned on.  I did the same thing with my camera icon and this step fixed it.

  • HT1212 I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes but it won't sync....how can I reset the whole thing so I can use it?

    I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes and it won't sync

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  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.
