I recently turned on an iphone 4, I'v set up icloud but the farthest I get on my phone is the "Hello" screen, and once I swipe, it says :Updating Icloud settings, and then goes right back to "hello"

I just dont know how to start using my iphone if the only screens options I have are "Hello" and "updating icloud settings"

Reset it: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!

You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

MPB Wakes from sleep but then goes right back...

Hey all, having a weird problem since my Lion install. It's happening randomly, with no peripherals attached. I will open my MPB as it has been sleeping closed; the passcode screen will pop up but before I can type, the screen goes black and it goes back to sleep. I press keys, click the trackpad, everything I can think of, but it doesn't respond. When I close the laptop, wait a minute, then reopen, the same thing. The login screen pops up but then blinks out black before I can do anything.
Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT201263 iPhone restores and then goes right back into recovery mode

Overnight, my iPhone 4 went into recovery mode on its own. I plugged it into iTunes, which detected a phone in recovery mode and asked if I wanted to restore it. I went ahead and clicked restore and the phone went through the whole process. I received a notice on my PC saying that the restore was complete and to wait until prompted to unplug my phone. I never received a completed sign and the phone just goes back into recovery mode and I eventually get another notice saying that iTunes detected a phone in recovery mode.
Is there any hope for my phone or is it toast?

No one does. It's an iPhone 4. Totally and completely out of warranty. I use Straight Talk for my service carrier so I don't even have any sort of support from AT&T.
If I contact Apple, they will charge me $20 just to troubleshoot. Hence me posting in the community. I was hoping someone would have some further information that might assist me in determining whether there was any chance of getting the phone in working order again or if it is toast.
If the problem is hardware, like you indicated at first, it is most likely not even worth spending the money to have the hardware fixed (if even possible) because it is an iPhone 4, not under warranty, and pretty outdated.

TS4268 ipad 1 will not let me sign into imessage.starts to verify and then goes right back to sign in.i tryed reseting network and apple id and no luck.help!!!

anyone?

Did you look through all of the suggestions in the troubleshooting article tht led you to this forum?
When you said you reset the network does that mean your home network or network settings? If you didn't reset your router, try that next. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds.
Did you check Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On?

The Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. Will not let me sign on through Safari or Google either. When I put in email and password it goes right back to the log in page. Help?

On my iPhone 4, the Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. The first time I sign on with the FB app it goes to the news feed page, says loading, and then flipps between loading and connection error. If I close out of that and try to sign in again it locks up on the logging in page. From Safari or google it goes to the log in page, after entering my email and password it goes right back to the log in page. I have tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing the app and everything else I can think of. Since I can log onto another account on my phone it can't be the app, any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Sounds like a hard reset is in order...
