ipad screen is locked.  slide function will not work but screen does rotate...

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.

  • TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

    I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
    Thanks for your time and expertise,
    T.

    You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
    First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
    Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
    I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
    1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
    4 - My contact details
    /Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
    5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
    6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
    If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
    Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
    If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.
    Apple has an interesting page at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481
    I hope this helps.

  • HT1695 Slide button will not work to turn on the wifi?

    I cannot connect to wifi which I need to back up my phone as the slide button will not work on this setting only

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

  • IPhone 6 with iOS 8, AirDrop function will not work.

    Hello,
    I just bought my wife and I to new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.02 on them. 
    We have tried to use AirDrop multiple times but it will not work.
    wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both enabled, and we have it set to discover are sent to everyone.  No matter what we do the phones will not discover each other and will not send an airdrop photo or anything else to the other phones.
    I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue, if it is widespread are there is possibly something I am missing, however the procedure seems straightforward and it appears that it could be an iOS issue or something else going on. It should be noted however that some functions a Bluetooth work, such as connecting to Bluetooth speaker. But the iPhones will not discover one another and AirDrop simply will not work.
    does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue .
    any ideas are welcome and appreciated, thank you, Pete

    "Although my local Apple store told me face to face that I could not go back and restore to an older version of iOS, my cellular service suggested to save data to iCloud and restore to the store's original iOS 7."
    Okay, so I couldn't go back to the factory iOS 7 as the Apple store employee told me. Drat!  Note to self, do not automatically update iPhone first thing if it's already working!

    wow blue screen of death that sounds bad...
    Technically they're called STOP messages (because the PC stops after you get one of them). But "blue screen of death" (or BSOD) is the common terminology (because the PC stops after you get one of them).
    C:\DOCUME~1\Abigail\LOCALS~1\Temp\\WERfd36.dir00\Mini012710-01.dmp
    Good ... we've got the PC generating minidumps of the crashes. So we'll be able to interrogate those using Windows debugging tools to try to work out what is causing the crash.
    First, track down where they are being stored on the PC. Usually that will be in the C:\Windows\Minidump\ directory. There should be files in there with names like "Mini(number-numbers).dmp"
    (If you have "Hide filename extensions for known file types" enabled in Windows, the ".dmp" extension may not appear on the dump files. The numbers in the file name will be different for each minidump, if minidumps are present.)
    Once you've found where they're being stored, we'll have a look at them using windbg.
    1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
    2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
    Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
    3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
    path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
    The path will be:
    SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
    4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
    so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
    5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
    (An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "My Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
    You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
    Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
    as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
    After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash. (It'll say "Probably caused by" ...)
    Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
    If you can, have a look at several of your crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3G and my screen will not work. When I have my sim card inserted into the phone calls go through, but I take it out and they don't go through. It was fine one minute and then the screen flashed and now it will not work. any answers?

    I own a 16GB iPhone 3G. My father passed it down to me a year ago after he got the iPhone 4. I pressed the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPhone to check the time, and as I did so, the screen flashed on and off and now the screen won't work. Whenever I put my simcard in there calls will go through but I am unable to hear them, but if I take it out calls don't go through. I've tried charging it for a while, connecting to my laptop, holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10seconds to restore it, but nothing works. I've looked around and no-one'ed seemed to have this problem. I'd like to know what is wrong with my iPhone ASAP. thanks.

    First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

  • HT2500 Adding me mobileme account to mail will not work because it does not accept the password but works on iphone and ipad?

    I am attempting to add my mobile me account to mail on my iMac. The first step is to give the email address and the password. For some reason it does not recognize the password. It is the some password used on iphone and ipad and logging on to me.com

    Hello,
    The problem isn't really the Password, but the default Servers if you choose MobileMe for account type.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • My i phone 4 screen went completely black and screen will not work but i can screenshot and other buttons vibrate and make a sound the screen just dosent respond.

    my home button was not working and I was in my settings looking for the advert touch or whatever it is called and my phone went completely black. al the buttons worked such as screen shotting (it made the sound) and turning on my ringer, the screen just didn't respond. I left it alone and plugged in over night and it hasn't done anything different. I also plugged it into my computer and it still did nothing. what can I do to resolve this problem?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • Facetime will not work, blank screen

    I just got the new iphone 4. Facetime will not run on it. OS is updated, phone is not jailbroken. Every time I try to make a call via facetime, I can see myself in the little box in the corner, but there is no picture on the rest of the screen. It's blank.  On the other side of the call, my friends can see one frozen frame of me but no video or audio. After 30 seconds the phone says 'call failed.' The worst part is that every time I try to make a call to someone, facetime freezes my internet. I've never had internet problems before, but now, if I try to put a call through facetime, I lose all internet signal and have to reset the router to get internet back on in the house. Any ideas? Or should I simply take the phone back?

    Click on the link provided by stedman1 and follow the troubleshooting steps there.
    You can also try to Reset Network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    You can also try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears. Once the Home screen redisplays, make sure your Wifi is on, and try again.
    Cheers,
