    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Need some help quickly, please!

    I'm not exactly sure where to post the following, so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place!
    So I helped my sister order an iBook and an iPod nano thinking the nano qualified for the Free iPod promotion. Anyways, it's not qualified so I want to cancel it.
    So here's where I'm unsure about some stuff:
    After I realized it wasn't part of the promotion, I went to my order status (my sister's actually, I made her an account) to try to cancel the nano. There was no button to review or change it.
    I noticed the status of the iBook said 'shipped' and the nano was 'processing order'. I'm guessing there was no change/review button because the iBook was shipped already? The Apple Customer Service closed and the order status on the nano changed to 'preparing shipment'.
    Ok, so, I'm gonna need to call Apple Customer Service in the morning and would like to know:
    What are my chances of being able to cancel it? By the way, the nano needs to be custom engraved so I'm hoping I can get it canceled before it does. Also, do you think I will be able to change the nano to the mini and still qualify for the promotion?
    Oh, one more thing: I am calling on behalf of my sister, so am I still able to cancel it for her? I do have all of the neccessary information.
    Any replies would help! the anxiety is getting to me!

    I ordered an iBook with extra 20Gb and an engraved iPod on 4th September. From the second after I ordered it until it was "shipped" the tracking system said it was "processing order". It was "shipped" 4 days later on 8th September. There was no in between such as "sent to manufacturing" or anything like that and believe me I was checking every hour of every day almost!! The tracking showed that my iBook was ready before my iPod and was shipped on its own to Europe without the iPod. The iPod significantly held the order up (I'm assuming it was cos it was engraved) so chances are you can still cancel it. Only thing is, even if you can cancel it, you may not qualify for the £100 rebate unless you can get them to actually change it to an iPod mini as you have to have them both appear on the same invoice in order to qualify. So if they say you can cancel it and then suggest you place another order for the mini separately that will be no good.
    My book and pod eventually arrives on 19 Sep, 15 days after I placed the order in case you're interested.

  • Fried RAM slot?  Really need some help quick.

    Hi guys. I have a major problem on my hands, that I hope you may be able to help me solve...
    I have been working on a deadline for the production of a DVD that will be used as part of a mental health outreach program, and all had seemingly been going well, albeit slow with my OEM 512MB of RAM. I therefore decided to upgrade my RAM, first buying two 512MB DIMMS from macsolutuons, but these DIMMS produced crashes almost religiously after 5 or so minutes of uptime. After receiving a new shipment, ensuring they were from the same batch, all seemed to be well. The computer stayed up for days without crash - but when I put a load on it, namely video encoding to DV stream and to MPEG-2, poof - hard crashes.
    I decided the RAM from macsolutions looked generic and suspected if I bought some real RAM I'd be safe. I purchased Viking RAM form macmall, three 512MB DIMMS, overnighted so I can make this deadline.
    Here's the catch...
    If I use all three DIMMS, the computer crashes in less than 5 minutes of uptime religiously. If I use two of them, the computer seems to stay up without problems, but when it sees a load like video conversion places on the system, it locks up. When I remove all RAM, so only one 512MB DIMM is present, I can encode video, and I don't seem to get crashes.
    When I bought the machine from Apple some two years ago, it came with one 512MB DIMM. I'm only hypothesizing here, but is there a chance that I received a machine that has a RAM slot 1 that's fine, but there's something wrong with slot 2 (or even 2, 3, 4)? In theory, when just surfing or using standard apps, the first slot meets the RAM need, but when more RAM allocation is needed under hard processes, and the system feeds off of slots beyond #1, then I crash. MenuMeters is installed so I can monitor RAM use, and sure enough, I mainly get crashes as my used RAM approaches 480-500MB.
    It's really urgent that I get to the bottom of this issue sooner than later, so I can finish this project to meet my deadline. Assuming slot 2 and so forth are bad, could I use a single 1GB DIMM module?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated. If i can repay the favor in any way, I'd be glad to.

    I suspected the RAM as well, however when I use only one DIMM I get zero crashes. I have used each of the three DIMMS for one day each now, and no crashes, but the second I add another ino the configuration crashes occur. While I agree that cheap RAM is often the culprit, to me all signs point to a faulty slot 2.
    I think I'll try getting a 1G RAM DIMM and only use slot 1 and see how that goes. Too bad, because I could really use more than 1G.

    Let me warn you up front: never mark your questions as urgent. People really don't care how urgent it is to you, and will likely only irritate them enough to not want to help you. Lucky for you, I couldn't care less ;)
    you seem to want to get an uploaded file using FileUpload. Did you see the user guide on how to do this? You seem to be going about it in completely the wrong way.
    [FileUpload user guide|http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html]
    Also:
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Documents and Settings/Andrew Hobbs/Desktop/helloworld.txt");Hardcoded paths in your code? Not very portable is it. I would define paths in a properties file. Read this:

  • Can't activate iPad after getting it from repair. Need help quick!

    I recently broke the screen of my iPad but the hardware was working very well. Today I got it back from the repair service I gave it to (not Apple store), and when I turn on the iPad, it tells me to activate the iPad using my Apple ID, I enter all my info correctly, but it doesn't unlock. Did they give me a wrong iPad, did I get scammed? Please I need help quickly since I will be leaving the town after 3 days. Thanks for any help

    Do you have the serial number of the iPad you purchased & sent in for repair? If so, look on the back/bottom of the iPad to see the serial number of the iPad you have. Does it match?

    Ok, I really need help, I work on my new iPad 3 a lot, and my contacts mean a lot to me, but today I opened up my contacts and found names and numbers that i had never seen before in my life, then I opened up the photo stream and realised some girls Random Pictures had turned up...I don't want anything to do with this other persons information. And I don't want them having the ability to access mine, as it is important and private... Why is this happening, why is someone else information merging onto my device, I need immediate help as I'm loosing valuable time. Many thanks.

    Go to settings>icloud, and make sure its your account there and not someone elses, and if possible go to icloud.com on a COMPUTER not the device and log in with your apple id, if you feel your account has been jeopardized please call in the apple support line and ask to speak with a iOS Senior advisor

  • If I can't get help quick, Adobe CC will no longer be an option. I'm currently trialing and only have 10 days until my discount offer expires.

    If I can't get help quick, Adobe CC will no longer be an option. I'm currently trialing and only have about 10 days until my discount offer expires. After that, I will no longer consider CC a valid option as it is almost twice the price.
    Premiere Pro audio slips out of sync, though it does not occur in Sony Vegas or in Lightworks with the same footage. Strangely, this is not only with the audio from within the video (.mts) file, but also from the audio I record separately and sync up in post. The frame rate and everything is, according to the sequence settings, accurately detected.
    Running my file through Handbrake is a workaround that I'm not willing to use. I've set my workflow (capture) so that this should be unnecessary, and indeed it is unnecessary . . . except for within Premiere Pro. Using Media Encoder to output an intermediate file doesn't work either; the audio still slips out of sync.
    Yes, I've already posted in the Premiere Pro forum, with no replies, but this is a bigger CC issue because the only way I'll give CC a try is with my 1 year $29.~ offer (as a CS user), which expires on the 30th. After that, I'll never give Adobe another look.

    Since you have quite a number of technical issue which needs expert guidance from the qualified technicians, please contact Adobe Support via chat or phone.
    Regarding the change in price after renewals, you can check it under "plan change" in your adobe.com if different pricing can be applied.

  • Slow Loading On iWeb Pages - Really in Need of Help! (Thanks!!) :o)

    Hi Everyone!
    I have been a lurker here, learning from reading other's posts. I am in serious need of help, as I have been struggling with this issue for over a week and I can't move forward to other things until I get it resolved...
    Here's what's up: I am creating a single-page website as a landing page for a product I offer. (These are very common now in product marketing). The page is here: http://www.howtogetamazingrelationships.com.
    The page that is there is about the 4th iteration of the page in the quest for a faster-loading page. Everytime I test it - no matter what I do - it ends up being about a 24 second load time. Here's a sample test for review: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=howtogetamazingrelationships.com&treeview=0&column =objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Here are the things I have done to try to speed this baby up:
    1. Took my youtube video off auto-play.
    2. Optimized the site using Web Site Maestro. 27% decrease in size; no load time difference.
    3. Took out shapes and graphics.
    4. Rebuilt the site on a blank template - now it is actually a little worse!
    5. Took out the website.js file - totally messed things up.
    6. Eliminated the navigation.
    Nothing is even showing the least bit of difference in speed...and it is driving me crazy.
    Here's the thing - I have also contacted Web Site Maestro's support for help, and they said that the problem was the size of the site and the length of the page. But here's the thing - I checked the load speed of a page that is about double my page size and length, and it loads in like 4 seconds: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/page2.php&treevi ew=0&column=objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Anyone have help/advice for me? I am so frustrated with this, as the iWeb is crazy-easy to build, but I can't have a simple one-page product page load that slow. No one is going to stay around for 24 seconds!
    I just am at the end up my rope and don't know anything else to do. I really don't want to rebuild the site again and still not see results, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks so much in advance, and I hope you are all having a beautiful day -
    :o) Tara

    Okay, more info -
    I checked my site on a different web analyzer, and it does seem to be loading quickly - 15.66 seconds for a 56 k, but only 3.6 for T1. So that is good -
    One thing I noticed in the recommendations is that there are 6 scripts that are running, that can slow things down. I don't really know how to change that (I am pretty web-savvy, but far from a developer) Here's what they recommended on the page -
    Analysis and Recommendations from webanalyzer.com:
    TOTAL_OBJECTS - Caution. You have 18 total objects on this page. From 12 to 20 objects per page, the latency due to object overhead makes up from 75% to 80% of the delay of the average web page. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in Website Optimization Secrets for more details. Consider reducing, eliminating, and combining external objects (graphics, CSS, JavaScript, iFrames and XHTML) to reduce the total number of objects, and thus separate HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images.
    TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this page (10 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching. Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques can help reduce HTTP requests.
    TOTAL_SCRIPT - Warning! The total number of external script files on this page is 6 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refactor, and minify to optimize your JavaScript files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages. Consider suturing JavaScript files together at the server to minimize HTTP requests. Placing external JavaScript files at the bottom of your BODY, and CSS files in the HEAD enables progressive display in XHTML web pages.
    HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 60492 bytes, which is above 50K but below 100K. With 50K of images and multimedia this means that your page will load in about 20 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.
