    hmm..just realised that waiting here for answer is like watching paint drying.. Thanks Apple!
    So best option is..
    1) backup your phone
    2) log to iCloud
    3) erese your phone
    4) pug and restore your phone from backup
    .. I'm clearly starting to dislike this company and seriously considering switching to someone else.

  • TS3694 Why does my ipod keeps powering off, and when I turned if on, I have to press down the power button and the screen button at the same time ???

    Why does my ipod keeps powering off, when I have to turn it on ... I have to press on the power button and the screen button at the same time ??? over and over again. I just got this in December 2011 as a gift.

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.

  • I drop my iPod on the floor and now I only can use the home and power button and the screen won't work

    I Drop my iPod on the floor and now the screen won't work but it looks perfect but when I touch it it doesn't do anything and the home and the power button work so can someone help

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod touch froze (white screen), it will not restart (by holding home screen button and lock screen) and it will not sync with itunes

    Whenever my ipod freezes i just restart it but this time nothing is working!
    I was using an app and it just froze (it was powercam, i was taking a picture)
    Im not sure what to do now

    i actually fixed this problem
    i let the battery drain (it actually didnt take that long)
    then i put it on my dock and it charged and now works perfectly fine

  • IPhone 5 power button randomly presses itself

    The past few days, my iPhone 5 has randomly pressed the power button and my screen will lock or go to a black screen that says "slide to power off". It does this over and over. I made a copy of the phone right after it started happening and then restored it and the problem persisted as soon as I downloaded an app. It does it during the middle of phone calls - which results in hang ups, on safari, music, everything, etc.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Sounds like the power/sleep button is physically failing. The phone is under warranty. make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
