The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

My ipod, 4th generation, squeals and pops via the headphones when connected to my computer, by the USB, port running itunes version 10. Any idea what is wrong?

I have tried to five r's and using different usb ports. I have also cleaned the contacts recently but I still have the same annoying sounds. Any advice will be warmly received.

Does the iPod appear in iTunes on another PC or Mac running iTunes?
Did you follow the instructions in this Apple support document when removing and re-installing iTunes and all Apple related software? If not, work through these instructions exactly as they are.

I just got a new MacBook Pro and when creating the icons on my desktop I realized that if the title is too long it cuts if off and adds dots. For example, instead of the title stating "Graduate School Info" it will say "Gradu...fo". How do I fix it?

When switching to my new MacBook Pro, it will not let me display the titles of the icons as it has in my other Macbooks. In my new Macbook it will either:
a) cut off the title and inssert three dots
For example,
"Graduate School Info" will become "Gradua..nfo"
OR
b) it will cut off the word and put it underneath
For example,
"Publications" will become
"Publicatio
ns"
I am not sure how to change the settings so that it can allow more room to display the titles of the icons/folders the way I would like them to be displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The best you can do is highlite a file on your Desktop. Finder>View>show view options>
and increase your Grid Size to MAX.

I just got my iphone 3gs unlocked and i inserted another company sim card in it (Mobilink) but it shows no service plus I plugged it into itunes and the number was n\a. What should I do??

I just got my iPhone unlocked in Pakistan. Now I want to insert another company's sim card in it, which is not supported of course. It is reading the sim card but shows no service. Plus I plugged it into itunes so that i could confirm it. But the phone number is n/a

Have you loaded the unlock onto your phone yet?
If yes: connect to iTunes to load the up-to-date carrier settings of your phone.
If that does not work navigate to settings>general> reset>reset network setting and confirm that.
If that does not work have your SIM replaced.
If no: backup your data, then navigate to settings>general> reset> reset contents and settings and confirm that your phone will be reset to factory settings. Then set it up again and load your backup. Now you have loaded the unlock.
If all of that does not help contact Apple to check if the carrier has really done the unlock. And if you have not doen an official unlock, but a jailbreak there is nothing I can do for you.

Have you downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes from here:

i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

You do NOT have duplicates. This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in your Itunes Library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos can be accessed from the album.

I added 3 apps to my 4s and my apple password worked fine on those..afew minutes later i tried to update an app and my password wouldnt work..i changed the password online on my computer and it works..but not on my phone

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

I don't want to do the recovery thing to my iPhone4, but my iPhone is at the stage in the update where it says to plug it into iTunes, is there some way to get out of this or save all of my data somehow?

What do you mean the "update" says plug it into iTunes? If you have the iTunes logo/USB cord on the screen, it's in recovery mode or needs to be activated. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to plug it into the computer. Hopefully, you backed it up before you started the update.
If that's not what you mean, then please explain.
Apple may or may not be able to fix the lock button for you without replacing the phone entirely. You'll have to take it in and ask.

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

If necessary:

- 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.

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.
