Using Spotlight on the iPad or are you talking about Safari?
If Spotlight, restart the iPad.
If Safari...
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Ipad games stuck on "download" and can not remove

I have downloaded 2 games from the apps on my ipad 2 and the message says to connect to a computer as they are over 20 mb. I synced my ipad with the computer and now the games are fully loaded on the desktop but will not load to the ipad. I can't remove them as they are frozen in "downloading" on the ipad.

Hey Angela,
Turn the iPad off and then back on: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4057
Try to delete them now if they didn't go away already
If the issue persists and your iPad is running the latest version of the OS, restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Hope that helps.

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.

Hi all
i have lost my cd's and screen became gray i can not boot what should i do?

but nothing happends
i have a macbook pro core 2 duo 2GB ram 160 gb hard disk

Use the computer your on now to download and burn a ISO of PartedMagic to a cd.
In Windows 7 you can right click on the downloaded ISO and click burn to disk, other Windows versions use the free ImgBurn software.
In OS X you can burn the ISO using Disk Utility.
Hook up a external drive to the target Mac.
Stick the PartedMagic disk into the Mac and reboot holding option and c keys (I forget which one works)
Use the first option (default) to load PartedMagic into memory (watch out the disk will eject!)
Once in PartedMagic there is a Mount Drive icon on the right, doubleclick it twice to open two windows (three total) you can now transfer your files after mounting the disks/partitions using the two open file windows.
Unmount the drives before using the "Start" like menu in the lower left corner to quit PartedMagic.
If your Mac works with all this then your in good shape, you just have a hosed operating system and a $29 Snow Leopard install disk (c boot off of it) and a Disk Utility Erase (with Zero Erase preferred) and a reinstall of OSX Snow leopard will do the trick.
If your computer boots off the PartedMagic cd, but you can't find/access the internal drive, then your boot drive is dead and you need to replace it or have someone replace it for you.
If your computer doesn't boot off the PartedMagic cd, then it's likely a serious hardware issue.

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 iphone locked up. Screen is gray and no buttons work. Can anyone help?

I was talking face time, and my screen went gray and is now locked in that position. None of the buttons work. The phone has been plugged into the charger for the last twenty minutes. Nothing works. Can anyone help me??

Press and hold the on/off button and the home button at the same time until the apple logo appears and then let them both go. This will reboot the phone

When I type in my password into the login screen I get the rainbow pinwheel and then the screen turns gray and goes back to account selection... How do I access my account?

Today I was doing my chemistry homework when all of a sudden my mid 2011 MacBook pro running Lion 10.7.4 started going very very VERY slowly to a point where it was unusable. I restarted my computer and went to type in my password. When I did this, the computer recognized the password and began to boot yet the pinwheel came on and the screen turned gray and went back to the account selection screen. It continues to do this everytime I enter my password and I can no longer access my account. How do I fix this.

You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

Why does my macbook pro 13'' mid 2010 screen turns gray and freezes while connected to external monitor?

Every once in a while my macbook pro just randomly instantaneously freezes and the screen turns gray and it has only done it while connected to a high res 22'' Dell external monitor (so far). Usually when this happens I'm listening to music and I noticed my music continues to play but the keyboard is totally unresponsive forcing me to manually press the start button until the computer force shut's down. Luckily I havnt lost anything yet but I hate having to restart my macbook pro that way...just want to know if its a glitch in the software or if I have a more serious hardware problem. This problem has occured maybe 4 times since I got my macbook last summer 2010 so its not too bad, im just worried cause these computers aint cheap.

Duquan,
Macs can be picky about the RAM which they use; the “Your computer restarted because of a problem” message typically indicates a RAM problem. Since you have a Mid 2009 model, it should have 1066 MHz RAM installed rather than 1333 MHz RAM. If your RAM was mislabeled, then that might cast some doubt upon the quality control which that RAM manufacturer uses. My suggestion would be to purchase 1066 MHz RAM from a reputable manufacturer.

If the screen is blurry, there might be something wrong with the iPad hardware. That shouldn't happen if the iPad is only one month old. You can try rebooting one more time and see if that corrects it. If it doesn't - and if you have an Apple Store nearby in the Phillipines - you might want to take it to the store and let an Apple Genius look at it.

My iPod touch 3 has a blank screen (luminescent gray) and is totally unresponsive.

my iPod touch 3 has a blank screen (luminescent gray) and is totally unresponsive.

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.

Then the screen goes gray and I cannot scroll or click on anything

When I google something via safari I get the google options but my screen is gray and I cannot click
on anything or scroll. I have turned it on and off several times.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

First spot is here under INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Below this is OUTGOING MAIL SERVER

Here is the second place that the user name and password must be checked.
I had changed my password in the first spot, but not the second spot. I had been receiving the same error message. This fixed my problem.
