I have recently had a problem when turning my iPad on from shutdown, in that it takes at least four attempts to slide my finger across to get the home page. The screen is clean, and when I do eventually get the home page it all works perfectly. Any ideas?

I have a problem getting my IPad to start from shutdown. I get the Apple logo then when it is ready for me to slide my finger across the lower part of the screen to get the home page, it takes at least four attempts. When it does eventually open the home page, all works perfectly well. The screen is clean so I cannot see any reason for this annoying problem. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thank you. Colin.

i would reset it, then restore as new

    If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
    If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

  • HT201263 Ok I tried this and I had the connect to itunes screen at first and now I cant even get that

    how do I get rid of this and get my phone back

    Hi sarahlovebell21,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, that means its in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored.
    You can find more information and steps to restore your iPhone here:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • My developer id on Xcode says the password is rejected, but I can long on to the apple development site with same password and it is okay. This started after downloading Xcode 5.0.2 any ideas?

    On xcode preferences the account is being rejected due to password wrong but the password works on the developer site. I am using xcode 5.0.2 and an iphone 4s. Prior to this i was using an older xcode and an iphone 3gs. I entered the password again but it fails. i deleted all xcode off my machine, downloaded a new verison from the app store, but problem persists. Any ideas? thanks in advance for your help. regards

    did you ever figure this out? Im having the same problem... only thing I can think of is - that I am admin on the account.. .so maybe Apple thinks admins don't ever need to use Xcode? haha

  • I'm using LR5 and have recently had a problem with selecting and deselecting images.  When I click on an image, the adjacent image also gets selected.

    To expand on the problem, I've tried importing a different catalog and I get the same problem so I think the issue is in the application.  Also I've tried using different mice and get the same result.  Do you think I need to uninstall LR and reinstall it?

    First, try rebooting your computer.
    Second, exit Lightroom and delete the LR preferences: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5.  On Mac, reboot after deleting.  Sprinkling that magic fairy dust often fixes weirdness in the LR user interface.

  • My ipod had a little rain damage and screwed up but later on fixed it and was fine. Later on that day the connect to itunes screen popped up and when i connected it it said "your ipod has a passcode" and then says try again. can anyone fix this?

    Yeah everything is in the question so plz hep me....

    Quinten,
    It will erase all of the information on your ipod. When was the last time you synced your ipod? If recently you should be able to recover most of your files. If not you will only be able to have the files since you last synced it to your computer. Can it sync it ignoring the passcode? If so try that. If none of these work you may just have to plainly restore it or put it in recovery mode.
                                                                          Thank you for choosing Apple!

    I recently had a problem with my iPhone 3G.  I upgraded to OS 5.1.1.  The thing crashed.  I took it to the AT&T store and they cleared it of everything.  So I re-installed all of my personal stuff and apps.  All is again OK with the exception of the calendar.  It will not sync with my home computer and is blank. How do I correct this?

    What are you keeping your calendar in on your PC? Outlook?

    When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • My iphone doesn't ring when it's unlocked .. i have calls but the screen still black and when i slide to unlock the screen i found i had missed calls

    My iphone doesn't ring when it's unlocked .. i have calls but the screen still black and when i slide to unlock the screen i found i had missed calls
    i have tried manythings but it doesn't work

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

  • HT202663 Tonight I am having problems keeping my wifi in use when I go into an app.  I go in an sign back in to my wifi and it stops again when I go into an app.  Have not had this problem until today.  Have had my iPad since October.  Please help.

    I have never had this problem before.  I have moved closer to the router and it still does it.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

    I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.
