Ipad not working (i.e. freezing, not turning on, not unlocking)
My ipad was working fine until I clicked on the Safari app and it pull up incorrectly. When I had last used Safari (around 30 seconds before) it was working normally and had about five tabs open. When I pulled it up again only one tab was open (but it didn't show any of the web pages just a blank page and I couldn't click on anything). I thought I could easily fix the situation by turning my ipad off and turning it back on again. Nope. The first time it turned on it let me type in my password, but wouldn't unlock. It stayed frozen. I even heard the unlock click even thought the screen was frozen. From there I cannot turn off my ipad. I have to let it turn itself off (takes around 20-30 seconds). I've tried this four times and each time is exactly the same. And each time it gets harder and harder to turn on the ipad (e.g. I have to hold down the power button for longer and hold it down multiple of times). I also plugged it into my charger to see if the battery was close to dead and it wouldn't detect my charger. The only thing I can think of for making it do this is that I was updating an app, but it said that it didn't download so I clicked retry. As I stated earlier my ipad was working normally up until then.

My gps is not working. I cannot use turn-by-turn navigation in google maps. I downloaded a GPS test app and it showed my phone is not locking on any satellites. How can I correct this?
We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?
Thank you,

I went to an Apple store yesterday and the guy there did something and now the ipad only works in the vertical (portrait) position and not the horizontal (landscape) position. How can we make it work in both positions?
Just in case you are not running iOS 7 and don't have the control center feature.....
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it and you are running iOS 5 or 6, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If you are running iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset 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 - let go of the button -
I use the LED notifications and the notifications weren't working. I found out when I had the flash off in the camera app, my LED notifications did not work.
OK... so turn it on?

Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

My iphone5's camera is not working.The shutter freezes each time.How much time it normally takes to fix it.(i have an appointment this week). and if they can't will they give me a new iphone5 ?
Yes part of Apple Store
You will get a service replacement ,maybe new maybe refurbed to new standard
but in a "brown box" so no bits and pieces just unit for unit exchange
They will know of iPhone history from their systems but always
worth having proof of ownership but not essential (as far as I know ) -

My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?
No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
Good luck.
