Ios8 is not working and Apple has no option to revert back to ios7
My iPhone 5s had turned into garbage after this update. After 5 hours with Apple Support online, they finally told me to go to a store!!!
The screen does random things and I have no control over the apps. Half the time the screen won't respond to my touch at all. Very weird!
I reset the phone to the factory settings but no luck.
If you are having the same issues, PLEASE raise your voice to Apple.
This is unacceptable and disgraceful!
The problem is not iOS 8. It's more likely a hardware failure or a failed installation. Google "iPhone DFU mode". Put the phone in DFU mode and restore it as a new device. Do NOT restore your backup yet. Test it. If it doesn't work, it's a hardware problem. If it works, restore your backup. If it fails at that point, then the problem is contained in your backup. Wipe it and set it up as new. Don't attempt to use that backup.

Since installing Maverick on my 21in. 3.2ghz iMac, cannot upload to any application without it locking up, Aperature opens automatically, my printers don't work and Apple has failed to reschedule a appointment with a Tech on Case ********* in 3wks
<Edited by Host>Sorry you've decided this is a rant but the objective observer would know that all I want is a solution to at least the 3 issues mentioned. I spent the better part of 2 nights with techs that had me doing all the standard refresh items, i.e. setting the PRAM... and as time goes on my frustration grows. Last week spent days trying to find the driver software Maverick now needs and Apple is supposed to have it and doesn't. So at what point does this become a rant? I've done things the right way had mucho patience thus far and as a kicker, Apple won't let me download Mountain Lion to reinstall and rid my self of Maverick. Tell me, would you complain?

After last update the split keyboard option is not working and side switch button option works opposite for mute and rotation lock.
Hi
A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook -
My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode, sleep button not working and Apple not helping
Hey Apple Community,
My iPhone 4 has been caused me a lot of frustration in the past week and after getting rejected from Apple Customer Service I did not know where else to turn. Sometime in January my iPhone 4's sleep/wake button stopped responding (it seemed to have gotten stuck) and in my initial call to Apple I was told there was nothing they could do for me even though I was within the 1 year warranty. I figured I could live without locking my phone, it wasn't that big of a deal to me so I simply ignored it.
However, just a few days ago my home button started being less responsive and this was clearly something I could not manage without. It was acting odd, sometimes it would work on the first try and sometimes it wouldn't do anything even after 4-5 tries. The worst part was it would automatically go to voice control even when it was sitting in my pocket. This of course caused me quite a lot of embarrassment since voice control would activate in the middle of my lectures sounding a chime and would dial a random person's number and I would open my phone to hearing someone calling my name. No fun indeed. I called apple about it last week and the nice agent told me that he had waved some sort of a fee to talk to me, I did not know I was required to pay to recieve basic customer support. He also said since I was over the one-year warranty by 7 days and because I do not have an Apple Care plan there was nothing he could do for me besides offering me a refurbished iPhone 4 for $150 as a replacement. I said thanks for the offer but that isn't exactly solving my problem. Since Apple comes out with a new phone every year and being an Apple geek I stay current with the new technology - the Apple care plan just doesn't suit me. I protect my phone in the best of cases and I have never damaged a product due to negligence, I'm not a kid anymore so I don't need to insure my products for my own stupidity.
Well just in the past few hours the demon iPhone went from making random calls to showing me a "Connect to iTunes" logo. I figured it had to be reset due to some software probelm (which meant I might not have to fork out $$$ to get the home button fixed), I gladly connected it to my laptop and now it wont seem to leave recovery mode. I have tried numerous times and it seems to complete recovery and then tell me to connect to itunes again. At this point I feel like I have lost my phone (and everything precious I had stored in it).
Of course as a business professional this is quite a set back. All my contacts, all my pictures and scans of products and documents and even the little notes that I kept on there to help me function - all gone. I haven't called Apple yet but since they were unable to help me before I am assuming there isn't much they can do now. I do not want to pay $29.99 to be able to talk to someone who will tell me I am out of luck. I am about 130 miles from the nearest Apple store so the Genius bar is out of the window. So in a last attempt to salvage this expensive piece of technology I turn to you Apple Community for suggestions. I was not able to find an email address for customer service or any method of communication to someone who could just hear me out and give me a reasonable excuse for why Apple cannot do anything for me. I always heard about the great customer service of Apple but I am surprised to see a product fail before my eyes and the manufacturer simply refusing to accept responsibility; all because I am 7 days too late. If I had dropped it or damage it through some programming experiments then I understand Apple refusing to do anything but this case is very disappointing.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice and apologize for writing a novel here, I wanted to present my case in the fullest of details.
- RazaI had the same issue (stuck in "Connect to iTunes" logo mode) and looked around for a resolution. I didn't find an answer posted anywhere. I ended up holding down the power button and the home button for about 20 seconds before it finally came back and said I had to restore it. Once restored, everything is fine.
My problem was caused when I accidentally closed the iTunes window when I was updating the software (I meant to turn off the volume as a song was playing, but clicked on the window close button instead of the pause button). I tried holding both buttons for the recommended 10 seconds several times and it didn't clear the problem. Holding both buttons for a longer period of time did the trick for me.
I hope this post is useful to others. -

I can't remove this icloud password window from my screen??
Hi Ethan6661,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not have access to the computer you normally sync with, it may be necessary to use one of these methods to erase your phone and remove the passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best,
Jeremy -
I have the iPhone 4 and it's working perfectly, I can switch on the do not disturb option but would prefer to have a repair of the mute switch. Apple store advise they don't repair and a new phone is only option!
That is correct, Apple does not do repairs on parts, they will exchange the whole phone for the service fee:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
iPhone 5
$269
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149

Headphone socket is not working and apple wants replacement cost
Hi my iphone 5 is still in gurantee , suddenly its headphone socket stop working. When i plug headphones nothing happens. I visited apple store the guy said that this is due to a dent on my phone and i have to pay $260 replacement charge. But that little dent is 6 months old and socket stopped working few days ago. What should i do ?
You can call Apple and appeal their decision if you wish to (or go back to the store and ask for a supervisor or manager to assess your device - basically dispute the genius claim and ask to have it bumped up the chain of command). Ultimately though they are the ones who decide if your damage is a warranty-related defect or something caused by accidenatal damage or abuse. If they say you are not eligible for a warranty repair, then you pay the fee for an out of warranty repair.

AirPort Express not working and Apple refuse to help.......
*post if you have the same problem*
I bought an AirPort Express base station, with the intension of turning my work network into a wireless network, as it said i could on the back of the box.
My work network has 802.1X wired security. Thats good because so does my AirPort Express base station, on the back of the box it says that it has 802.1X security..... So whats the problem you ask? I cant find any 802.1X security setting on AirPort Express...
If anyone can help then I would be very very very greatful, Apple dont want to know , so I hope you guys can help.
thanks if you can help....
(btw Apples product support is the worst I have ever had).Hello Pete_B. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I cant find any 802.1X security setting on AirPort Express...
To find the 802.1X security settings, you will need to select either WPA2 Enterprise or WPA/WPA2 Enterprise for your Wireless Security type, and then select the RADIUS option within the AirPort Utility.
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Access Control -
My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.
My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.
Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund. -
