IOS 6 Screen is Stuck!

I bought the 4th generation ipod touch from someone today. I plugged it into a wall charger and waited for it to be fully charged after being completely dead. Now I would like to set my itouch up with my computer, but I am STUCK on a grey screen with "iOS 6" in big letters on it. I cannot geto ut of this screen. I have tried re-starting it, I have tried putting it into DFU mode, I have tried waiting and I have tried plugging it into my itunes.. when I plug it into my itunes, i get a message saying that itunes cannot connect to my itouch because my itouch is locked with a pascode and that i must enter the passcode before itunes can connect with it.. but i cant enter the passcode because i have no option to on my screen because the iOS 6 picture is stuck there! (like when you slide to unlock then the passcode grid comes up)
The only thing I can do is turn the screen on by pressing the lock button or home button.
help...

Try recovery mode as described here. Note you may have to try to enter recovery mode more than once.

That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

Updated ios 8.1 now my screen is stuck on connect to itunes, I don't have a computer to do this and Apple is stating that my device is out of warranty so they want me to pay $19 to get it looked at when it is APPLE's upgrade

So upgraded my ipad and now I can't use it at all, can't get any support from Apple because it is past the 1 year, this is crazy because it is Apple's product and Apple's upgrade, NOT my fault. Screen is stuck on connect to iTunes but cannot get it to un stick. UGH!

If you ever want to be able to use the iPad again, you have to connect it to a computer running iTunes to restore it. Your iPad is in recovery mode and nothing can be done for it over the phone anyway. You can blame Apple for the problem if you want to, but that's not going to change anything.
Take your iPad to a friend or relatives's house that has a computer running iTunes and restore your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. I don't think that you have to pay for a Genius Bar visit. Phone support is a different story.
IF you have an iCloud backup, you will be able to restore the backup after you get the iPad up and running again. If you have no backup, you will have to start all over again.

My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6. I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes. All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

IOS 7 Calendar stuck on September. View won't refresh.

Calendar on iOS 7 is stuck on september. On monthly view, it won't refresh the view past September. I can scroll down, but it will get stuck on Ocotber, with an empty view. If I click year view, it freezes. I've tried restarting the app, the phone and nothing. I will try restoring the iPhone to see if that helps.
But if any of you had a similar experience, and solved it, let me know.
Thanks.
PS: This is happening in my iPhone 5 and 4s.

When you restarted the app did you quit it first?
I would first quit the app then reset the phone.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My screen is stuck on and. It is not on a rotation lock and I have rebooted 3x.

My iPad mini touchscreen won't work and the screen is stuck on Choose A Wifi Network....Can Somebody Please Help Me

MY Ipad Mini Touchscreen Is Not Responding. It Won't Let Me Type In My Password When I Tried It Then Said That It Was Disabled For 1 Minute. Then I Tried It Again It Said Disabled For 5 Minutes. then I Tried To Reset It, I've Tried Recovery Mode NOTHING! Now The Screen Is Stuck On Choose a Wifi Network...Can Someone Help Me Please

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode after using my "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter." How can I fix this?

My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode (I don't know the correct term) after using my Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - meaning the screen fonts and windows are larger than usual. How can I fix this? I've changed the display settings to modify it a little, but it still doesn't look right. I reinserted the adapter numerous times and restarted my computer, it still hasn't worked. Help!

I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.
