Yes I held them down till the apple logo appears, then spinning wheel and repeated boot up process. I only knew it was going round in circles because the charging sound kept repeating every so many seconds.
I am downloading iOS.5.0.1 now to do a complete factory restore. I hope this works. I have been looking online for hours for fixes and I have very little batter on it as its been spinning for hours now.
Why do things like this happen? I am sat there watching tv and one minute the settings folder is there then its not! How does that happen? It just disappear? I hadn't moved it to another folder or deleted it, it just.... went!

    Insert a SIM from a supported carrier.
    Where did the phone come from,  it sounds like the device has been hacked or jailbroken to be unlocked and updating has re locked to the original carrier. It is also possible that the SIM simply needs to be reseated or replaced.

  • WRT400N configured but clients can't get out?

    I'm a longtime Linksys user who just replaced an old WRT54G with a WRT400N (alongside a D-Link 628).  I ran through all the usual steps by connecting to the 400N with my main computer, updating its firmware to the latest, keeping most everything default to start, turned off wireless for now, and set a new password.  Didn't go nuts setting up esoteric policies, static IPs, etc.  Just set it to handle DHCP and hooked it up.
    My ISP does not require any PPOE or other and you simply plug into their modem and it gives the router what it needs (works flawlessly with all past Linksys and the new D-Link when I use that).  In fact, all clients on my network (three desktops, two laptops) all get the necessary IP info from the 400N including their own IP, DNS info, etc (all checked with ipconfig /all) and they all have the correct info.
    Unfortunately, the clients can't get out.  They try but the router will not pass through anything to the Internet.  No ping, tracert, ftp, browsers fail, etc.  Have reset to factory defaults and tried three or four times now and nothing.  Swapped back in the WRT54G and D-Link (both set to factory defaults, wireless off, and simply hooked into the modem) and both allow immediate access to the Internet for all clients.
    All three routers pass the same information to the clients (checked with ipconfig /all) so all three modems are configured and set up the same and, according to me,  correctly.  Only the 400N won't connect to anything.
    Since both the WRT54G and the D-Link immediately allow client access to the Internet but the 400N won't, there must be an odd setting I am missing but I can't see it at all.  I have gone through the setup 4 times, following the instructions to the letter (it's not that difficult as Linksys routers configuration pages are so simple to use) but each time results in clients receiving their information correctly yet not being able to get out.
    Can anyone point me to the right settings to check?  I've looked through the FAQs and tried a bunch of suggestions but so far nothing.
    Thanks for the help,
    Robert

    Oh yeah, been there and done that.  I have gone so far as to completely shut down the router, plug in each of my other routers (D-Link DIR-628 and Linksys WRT54G) and powered them all up from scratch (cycled power to the cable modem too and started everything up in sequence)  and confirmed they get all the same information from the modem including DNS, gateway, etc. and that the same information is passed to the clients.  In each case I wrote down the numbers to compare and they were all the same including what was reported on the WRT400N!
    So, after several days of experimentation, power cycling, hooking up, etc. the WRT400N magically let me access the internet.  I guarantee you I did not change any settings from default on any of the routers (other than turning the radios off) and just merely plugged them in and started everything up!
    This is very unusual.  It took about 20 restarts and tests before I could access the internet.  During that time I was able to connect to any of my internal clients (media player, spare computer, NAS, etc.) as they properly got IPs but no one could get out until a night ago when it suddenly worked.
    I can't explain it.  This is frustrating since there's no obvious change (all default settings, mind you).  Of course, NOW that it gets out, I went through and set up all my usual changes such as MAC address filtering, access policy for the daughter's computer, and fixed IPs for the non-changing peripherals and it all seems to work correctly (save for one other problem I'll post later.)
     So this is "solved" but for no apparent reason.
    Thanks for the suggestion,
    Robert

  • My macbook air won't load.  Says start up disk is full but I can't get the home page to open

    My Macbook air won't load.  Says the start up disk is full but won't open the home page so I can do anything about it

    Step 1   
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later. 
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.

  • After updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 7, I get the message to "Turn off Find My iPhone" but I can't get to that option on my phone.  Any suggestions

    I updated my wife's iPhone 4 to IOS 7.  While trying to setup the new installation, I get the message " Find My iPhone must be turned off before Phone can be restored.  Go to iCloud Setting on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone".   The problem is that that option is not available on the phone at this stage of the set up.
    Any suggestions?

    I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information."  I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed."  We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

  • HT4059 I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano and cannot get audiobooks to sync with it. The manual says this is a valid feature but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

    I tried the Aperature trial and liked it, but did not purchase it when the trial ended. A few weeks later, i purchased snow lepord and purchased aperture via the app store. I have had not been able to use it since. Each time i open it , afer a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death and Aperture is frozen. I have to force quit Aperture to shot down mycomputer. I have re-installed Aperture 3 times with th e same result. I have iphoto on my computer as well is this causing the problem? I want my money back!!! Can anyone help?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • HT1222 Can I update my Old iPod touch 4.2.1 version to the IOS 5 or 6? It says i have the current version but I can't get my apps ...such as Netflix

    I'm trying to get the iOS 5 or 6 update to my ipod touch version 4.2.1
    My ipod says it's up to date but I can't get my netflix app to load becuse it says I need the iOS 5 software
    Does this mean that my Ipod touch is no longer any good???
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
    Candice

    I used to be able to get Netflix and other apps on my ipod but since they have been upgraded to ios 5 + I can no longer get them. "
    You updated your Netflix app without seeing if the new version was compatible with your ios version. Had you not updated, then you could still be using it.
    " So I gather by your response and other similar questions/answers that I am out of luck now."
    Yes.
    Sorry

    My Ipad won't let me in when I try and slide to unlock it ...the message is Not Enough Storage...but I can't get in to put more storage on it

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.
    Hope this helps.

  • While typing a doc in Word, the spinning wheel appeared and froze the Word document.  I had another Word doc open at the time.  I tried to force quit, but it didn't work.  I would like to save it before losing my work, but the spinning wheel blocks me.

    While creating a Word doc, the spinning wheel appeared and won't go away.  Another Word doc was open at same time.  How do I get this fixed while saving my work?

    Basically, you don't.
    The 'spinning wheel' is simply an indicator that an operation is taking longer than it should. It doesn't say anything about why, or even if it's an error or not. If it's in Word, it could be that the app is hung, or it could be that it is waiting for some kind of user input, or input from another app. (My bet would be on the former.) You could go into Activity Monitor, identify the process that's making it wait, kill it, cross your fingers and hope that it would generate an error that would cause Word to return control to the user (you). If you had the expertise, that is, and the moon were in right quadrant.
    Realistically, your only option is to force-quit Word. Once that is done, if AutoRecovery was on, then, with luck, you could recover much of your work. Here
    <http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahnd.html>
    you'll find a quick overview of AutoRecovery and how it works.
    If it wasn't on (it should be on by default), then you're out of luck. Chalk it up to experience, turn it on, and back to the grindstone.

  • HT1539 I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

    I want to burn my imovie to a dvd.  All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open.  The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it?  Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this?  What's the best one?

    Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.
    Regards.

    Hi
    My ipad has a message saying a movie rental has expired and I cant remove it, so am unable to use it. Can anyone help?

    Hi there, this problem has probably been resolved now, but I must say that I came across these posts today as I had the same problem, my old e mail kept popping up, but all sorted now!  Old Apps are not tied to the old Apple ID, honestly!
    Rudegar is so right, all you do is go the SETTINGS/iTunes & App Store, then select `Apple ID` `Sign Out` then you get the chance to enter your new ID, and it worked a treat!
    Good luck with anyone else with this problem, as I spent so long on this, really stupid!
    PS you`ll need to again verify bank details
