Ipad sound icon appears in middle of screen
I thought I had a problem with my Ipad when for the first time I used my Ipad holder which attaches to my microphone stand. After an hour, the sound icon appeared in the middle of the screen and would not go off. It was only after reading tech discussions that I discovered that the volume switch on the side of the case causes trouble when the case is dented. Mine wasn't, but what was happening was the retaining clips on the holder were exerting pressure near the volume switch. If you purchase one of the several types of holders available on the market just be sure to attach the Ipad away from the switch.
First, press the on/off button and start button at the same time, for about five seconds, until your iPad darkens. Now, press the start button. Most of the time, a reset like this is the only thing you need.
Post if you have any more problems!

Does anyone know what's wrong with it? not booting up. instead of it a picture of a file appears with a question mark on it in the middle of screen?
Sounds like abad hard drive. The clicking sound is coming from the HD. The folder with the question mark means that your computer can't find the statrup disk or the hard drive.
Boot your computer using the install disc and check if Disk Utility can recognize your HD. If not, then it needs HD replacement. If you have AppleCare or within the 1 year warranty, then replacement should be free from Apple. Check the nearest Apple Store in your area. -
I was in the Apple store and notice that the Macs had linked icons in the middle of the screen. For example they had an icon, when clicked it open Safari and loaded the Apple Store. I thought that would be a good idea for my son profile, so he can click one icon and it would take him to Cartoon Network etc... Is this a OS X thing or a thrid party program?
Thanks
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.1)There have been a few questions about the same feature, but the consensus is that it is something only on Apple Store computers and not available to the rest of the world.
To achieve something close (the icon link for your son) you could always drag the address from the address bar in your browser out to the Desktop to place a link to the site.. Then, you can change the icon to something a bit more recognizable following the instructions here. -
Cannot get sound effects icon to stop coming on. When I turn down the volume, the icon goes off briefly and then it comes back on at full volume and stays in the middle of the screen, until I click the volume down again. Doesn't help to reset, the case is not on and it still does this. Most annoying.
Tried any basic troubleshooting steps?
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 - let go of the buttons.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. -
Large icon appears in middle of desktop--can't get rid of it.
Daughter was using computer. Now a large icon--the microphone--periodically appears in the middle of the desktop no matter what I am doing. Can't get rid of it.
Blakespot:
If you haven't done this already, boot from the Leopard DVD (hold down 'C' after (re)starting your computer, until you are prompted to choose a language. Then wait until the installer appears.) Ignore the installer. Instead, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen, wait for a menu to appear, then, from the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Select your Macintosh HD, and perform a "Repair Disk".
After that reboot again from the HD and check how your disk space is reported by OSx.

The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away
The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
Thanks for the help.
Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad. Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?
Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch. If so, you need to somehow indent it.
Try a reboot. Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider. -
'Fake' twitter icon appeared on screen - how do you get rid?
Hi new here but hoping someone can help,
I have a BB Curve 8520 v5 on Vodafone contract.
From yesterday an 'icon' appeared on my front screen - it is similar in appearance to the twitter icon but blurred, facing the opposite way and has a 1 by the side of it constantly. I have read all my twitter messages, I have carried out the security measures I can think of but that's not to say I have done everything! On my travels through the phone it would appear I did not have encryption enabled or other such settings.
I've tried a battery pull which hasn't helped.
The Apps I've got loaded are Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps, Bejeweled, BBHelp & Accuweather,
Can anyone shed some light on this issue please, it's driving me bonkers. Thank youI'd still be interested in what that icon is if you ever see it again.

2G iPod won't mount and CD icon appears?
Hi I have a 20 gig 2G ipod that I got from the battery replacement program 3 years ago. I am unable to sync it with iTunes. When I connect it to my mac it won't mount and the CD icon appears on the iPod screen. When I unplug it the icon is still on the screen after few minutes I get the Cd icon with the check mark, then it returns to normal operation. When I press play the song plays for 20 30 sec. and then it freezes.
How can I reset the iPod?
Thanks in advanceHello!
What kind of iPod do you have? (new one?)
Are you using a mac or a pc?
If your using windows pc, check and see if you have a 6 pin connector (FireWire) if not then thats probably why it is not charging!
If your using a mac then it should charge automatically.
Refer to the online support and type in the search area:
iPod(with dock connector) user's guide (manual)
Refer to page 45 Battery charging!
Let me know if I can help in any other way!

How can i get rid of sound effects icon in middle of screen?
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off". -

my new ipad 2 turnes to black screen with the apple icon in the middle while using it or if i just left it locked for a while, it just hanged and i have to restart it?! so why this is happening ?! is there is a productio error or something i can do to prevent doing this ?!
Appreciate responding as soon as possible.No, it's definitely not normal. Your User's Guide recommends a series of troubleshooting steps to go through when your iPad is misbehaving: As you're already in effect doing the first of the main steps, a Restart of your iPad, and that's not curing it, move on to the next .. a Reset.
To do this, press and hold both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons for about 10-12 seconds, until the display blanks and the red Power Off slider appears. Continue holding the buttons until the slider disappears, replaced by the black screen and white Apple logo.
This shows your iPad is starting to reboot. Release the buttons and allow the process to continue until the Lock screen appears again, then slide the slider to complete the process. -
I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen, how do I remove it?
I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen and I want it to go away! How do I get rid of it?
Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.
You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;
