Insomnia (phone will not sleep and cannot be switched off)

I have had problems after trying out the Z2 mag charging dock, my phone keeps waking the screen when it is being charged (the screen timeouts and turns off before being turned back on again after a few seconds, showing the lock screen), even after i switch back to the standard USB charging cable (charging directly to the microusb port). I have checked developer options and keep screen awake when charging is not ticked so that's not the problem.
Additionally, my phone is not able to be switched off. When i switch off, it will enter into a sort of bootloop where the phone will spontaneously turn itself on showing 'Sony' screen > black screen and it repeats this cycle. The phone can however be turned back on during this bootloop if i i press and hold the power button while the screen is black.
I have scanned the phone using various reputable antivirus apps and none of them have turned up anything. Did a factory reset but it didn't solve either problem.
Appreciate any help I can get.

Hi, I know its been a while since you posted this issue, but was wondering if you have got it solved and if yes how you did it.
I have run into excactly the same problem yesterday after accidentaly connecting magnetic charging cable the wrong way.
The phone went instantly dead (battery discharge), after that Red Light came on and starting blinking when on wall charger.
I left it on charger for 4 hours and was able to get it restarted. Now whenever I put it on charger the screen will not sleep. It will dim and turn off but straight away turn on again. I have run PC Companion twice to repair but it is still doing the same thing over and over again. I also have the issue that I cant switch it off as it will go into a Sony Logo Bootloop. I have to force shut down and then I can charge it without problem. Once I remove phone from charger it will go into Sony Logo Bootloop again until switched on.
Any ideas??

HT1688 phone makes no noise, will not ring and cannot turn ringer up

phone makes no noise, will not ring and cannot turn ringer up

Did you check the silence/mute switch on the side of the phone above the vollume buttons? If you can see an orange line then it wont make any noise. You should flip it and it should work.

You obviously have a faulty SIM card. Go to an Apple store or a phone store and get a replacement SIM card.

If you're sure Settings are correct then do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition. I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself. Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

My iPhone 5 has my old email address and password in it, I updated both online, but my phone will not recognize and therefore has now locked me out of my photo stream. how do I change my iCloud email on my phone???

Please help.
iCloud on my iPhone still has my old email in it with no option to update it. I have no access to the old email. I updated my email and password online via my macbook, but my phone will not recognize either! It keeps popping up a screen for me to enter my password, but it says it's incorrect.
How do I fix this on my phone?????
I can't fix it online because my iCloud online (although working) does not recognize either of my devices because they need updated….which I'm not able to do due to storage issues.
I just want my phone to recognize the new email and password!!
I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm about to throw this phone across the room.
thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

You should still be able to log into an old email account, even if you haven't used it for some time, very few providers delete email accounts.

My phone will not charge and I believe my charger is working. Is there a way to charge it without the iPhone 5 charger

Try resetting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider if it shows up. You will lose no data.

Kindle app stuck on "waiting" during an update. Will not install and cannot be deleted.

Kindle app will not complete the installation process for the latest update (version 3.9.1). Icon is grayed out on home screen with "waiting" listed below it. No x appears when the other apps jiggle so I cannot delete it or uninstall. Have tried rebooting the phone multiple times with no changes. When syncing to computer, Kindle app status changes to "installing" but it remains frozen and grayed out. No problems with wireless connection. Other apps update fine and I have enough space in storage. This have been going on for over a week. Already talked to Amazon-Kindle and their only suggestion was to remove/uninstall the app, which I cannot do. When i search for the Kindle App in the App store, the status always says installing and is grayed out. Thanks for any help or tips!

Hi,
Any feedback as yet on the above problem as I have had the same problem since the 8th of August?

I have music that will not play and cannot be removed from my iPhone 4. Any ideas on how to remove them?

I bought itunes match over a year ago and didn't really like it so I removed it from my phone/itunes library altogether but I still have like 12 songs that are stuck on the phone and will not play because my itunes match has now expired, they can't be removed either apparently. I've tried all the regular ways so please somebody come up with something original way to get rid of them. They have no cover art and are really starting to bother me.

Make sure you don't have updates yet for oldify etc if not , Do reset. On whole phone. Updates will come for oldify.

Finder will not open and cannot install new software

Please help:- Finder does not open when clicked from the dock - instead the desktop icons disappear and reappear. If I try to install a downloaded piece of software (e.i. Firefox or Chrome or Silverlight) the same thing happens and the software install simply disappears.
When I do Verify Disk - it's okay.
Checking Disk Permissions reveals a number of 'issues' each of which claims to have bene 'modified and will not be repaired' such as -
Warning SUID file "usr/bin/at"
Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atq"
Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atrm"
Warning SUID file "usr/bin/login"
Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/authopen"
Warning SUID file "usr/bin/newgrp"
Warning SUID file "System/ry/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent"
Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/security_authrampoline"
Plus others ...
Reparing Disk permissions has no effect.
This started happening last week and seams to be getting worse - after reboot the problem continues.......

Guys, thanks for the support and ideas:-
Moving the /com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop and restarting clearly made a difference. I then deleted the plist folder on my desktop, however, the problem has slowly returned.
I did steps 1 & 2 suggested by Linc Davis above and;
Step 1 - there was no evidence of the errors but with limited test capability as 'my downloads' folder was empty - so I was unable to attempt an install. The machine however did seam to run quicker and Folder opened just fine when asked.
Step 2 - slower in Safe Mode and right-click failed to operate but Finder opened correctly each time.
After re-start and connecting again my external stuff (HP Printer, TimeMachine HD, Duronic USB hub, HK Speakers - they've been attached from day 1) the problem is completely back as before the deletion of the /com.apple.finder.plist The desktop goes 'off' (desktop icons disappear) and 'on' (they reappear) without an install being achieved or 'allowed'.
Verify Disk is okay. Disk permissions produce the same result as first posted above. Repair Disk Permissions has same result as before.
Here's the latest console items since the restart following Step 2 above:-

After years of suffering MS Windows gremlins I came to Mac on the advice of my brother but 18 months-in I find my Mac is acting as old Windows PC's did? I think I'll bite the bullet and wipe and re-install my software. Time machine should keep me right and I've backed-up my Downloads/docs/music/ to a second external. iCloud holds my mail/calendar etc - so, that should be enough - yes????? I appreciate all your help but do not want to waste people's time.

Scan to Application will not stop and cannot close

I recently scanned a phot to my mac and then imported to iphoto .
I scanned using a HP deskjet 3050.
The scan to application appears to still be running in the background as a moving cog appears in the top right hand menu bar next to network preferences, sync and time machine icons. When I right click on the cog it brings up stop scan to application but this has no effect.
Any ideas on how to quit.

Try rebooting the iPad by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.
