  • I upgraded to iOS7 without incident and has been functioning fine.  However, today, I'm unable to access anything that requires connection.  WiFi strong, working fine on other devices - any suggestions?

    Hi there,
    You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"

    Hi can anybody help me please my grand daughter had changed the pass code on my ipod touch and now forgotten it is there anyway i could bring it back to the begining like when i first got it. I cant access anything and i cant sync it to itunes either.

    Hello Corinnana,
    Yes.  Connect the iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it as a new iPod.  See this article for instructions on how to place your iPod in Recovery Mode.

  • Problem with my iPod touch: Frozen screen, unable to access anything as slider does not work, will not accept a full restore.  Apple Store advised that it is a 'hardware' problem and I could trade-in!

    I am a relatively 'new' user.  Touch was a gift, I used it in a simplistic way - listened to music took a few photos, added a few calendar events.  After a year I then decided to be more proactive and found a few free apps (Solitaire) - then had a the frozen screen problem which I though was connected to low battery, but it wasn't.  I recharged it, still could not access, then tried a full restore and got an error message.  Took it to a Genius Bar and was told it was a hardware problem and as it is out of warranty  I could trade in or just buy a different product.  As this is my first Apple product is this usual?  Do Apple products have a very short shelf life - I anticipated that it would last me longer than a year!  Has anyone else had this problem?  Was it able to be resolved? Or is it worth trying to get it repaired - and if so who can do it - Apple  Store did not offer that to me as an option?

    Sure sounds like a hardware problem. It happens some times. The iPod is just an electrical device.
    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price. Apple does not repair your iPod.

  • Ipad 1 unable to access icloud

    For some unknown reason unable to log in to icloud. When purchasing storage it goes straight to iphone. Cant change id or password on ipad.

    I tried to add more storage to my ipad, and it goes straight to my iphone not the ipad. I have since discovered that the icloud id is different to that on the phone. It appears somewhere along the line the phone id has changed but not the ipad for icloud, hence two different ids and i cant change the ipad one, no matter what I have tried. .

  • TS1398 My iPad won't backup to iCloud even though I have plugged into power, locked it and other devices all are OK on our wi fi.  I can't get rid of the box that tells me to backup the iPad to iCloud to access anything else in the iPad.  Help?

    When I try to use my iPad I get a message that says my iPad has not been backed-up for 2 weeks.  I've plugged it in, locked it and wi fi is working with other devices but I can't get passed that message.  I've tried turning the iPad off but even then I can't slide the bar to turn it off.  Any suggestions?

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Unable to Access Internet Despite Adapter Showing "Connected".

    Hi, I have a Lenovo "G"-Series notebook, Type 4446-38U which has suddenly stopped allowing me to access my internet connections.  The PC is only about a month old.  It is running XP Professional. 
    I have three connection options:  1) dial-up (using an onboard HDAudio Soft Data Fax Modem with Smart CP); 2) ethernet or Local Area Connection (using an onboard Broadcom Netlink Fast Ethernet); and 3) wireless (using an onboard Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) -- none of these components are showing that they have conflicts/problems in the System Properties/Device Manager. 
    At my home, which is located in a rural area where I can only get dial-up, I tried checking my e-mail last week (with Mozilla Thunderbird), but received an error notice stating that the e-mail server could not be found; it was the same issue, when I tried to get Norton virus updates (Internet Security 2009), XP updates on the Microsoft website (using Microsoft Updates with Internet Explorer), and simply accessing the web (using Mozilla Firefox) -- i.e., "Server Not Found."  The odd thing is that I can not only hear the connection being made by the modem, but can also see that the device is 'Connected', when I check the connection in Control Panel/Network Connections.  The following day at my office, I checked the other connection options (ethernet & WiFi), and found that I had the same problem -- i.e., they were shown as "Connected" in Control Panel/Network Connections, but I was unable to access anything on the web (e.g., e-mail, Google, virus/Microsoft updates, etc.).  It's as if there is something blocking the internet connection to these programmes/utilities. 
    When I ran the Microsoft Networking Troubleshooter ('Diagnose Network Configuration & Run Automated Networking Tests), all the Network Adapters were shown as having passed.  Ditto, when I ran the "Test a TCP/IP Configuration Using the Ping Command" -- pinging 127.0.0.1, the results showed 4 packets sent and 4 received.
    I spent several hours on the phone with Lenovo Tech Support to no avail, and their instruction that I uninstall Norton Internet Security made no difference either.  When they instructed me to open a Command Prompt and ping 192.168.1.1, the results showed that there were 4 packets sent and 4 received.  When I was instructed to ping the IP Address for the wireless adapter, the results showed 4 packets send and 4 received.  When I was instructed to ping www.google.com, the results showed that the ping request could not find the host www.google.com.  Lenovo Tech Support stated that there was nothing further they could do, and that I needed to use a utility to set everything back to factory specs (i.e., have a utility programme erase everything on the hard drive and reinstall XP ... and even then I was told that there was no guarantee that would fix things, meaning that the PC would then have to be sent into their repair depot).  Before I do this, I was hoping that someone here might know as to what's going on with my connection problems and how it could be fixed, without having to erase everything.
    I would appreciate any insight or advice anyone might have.  Thanks so much!

    I did do a complete uninstall of Norton (i.e., didn't save any of the settings), but that didn't resolve the connection problem.  I also turned off Microsoft's firewall as well, once Norton was uninstalled (it had been turned off, when Norton was installed, and once Norton was uninstalled, MS firewall defaulted back to an on/active status).
    I also forgot to mention in my initial description of the problem and actions taken thus far to try and correct it, that I additionally tried the "ping" procedure described in paragraph five above in Windows Safe Mode with Networking, but was still unable to connect to the internet.

  • Can't access anything of windows live, or hotmail. all other internet is functioning.

    I am unable to access anything in Windows Live, Microsoft, and Hotmail. 
    All other internet is functioning. (IP, Google, browsing, etc)
    Microsoft remote assistance was unsuccessful.
    Error message says that Norton is blocking remote access. Unable to change or remove Norton. no pathway found.

    Windows Live Messenger Connection Troubleshooter displays failure at Key Ports and reads "Failed to connect to the service.Please to make sure your Firewall is not blocking Windows Live Messenger." I have no blocks on Firewall and diagnostic check is clear. any advice would be appreciated.

    I tried to change the password in the settings and still I cannot get it set up to get emails? 
    And what happened when you tried? And please don't say it didn't work, we know that. Describe what happens when you "try" to change the password. Are the settings greyed out and therefore, you can't change anything? Can you send emails? You said you can't "get" emails so i interpret that to mean that you can't receive them.
    Did you try quitting the settings app, reboot theniPad and then "try" again to see if that will allow you to change the setting?
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the settings icon. Tap the home button twice,
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You don't have Restrictions set that would prevent you from changing the password in Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Chamges>Accounts.
