  • My ipad freezes and the screen won't rotate, how do I fix it?

    My ipad screen freezes either horizontally or vertically and I can't ever get it to turn back. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    Also be advised that there is a screen lock function but it's been a disaster since Apple decided to pacify the whiners.  Check it out here.

    In case you're wondering, here is the history.  Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere.  In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch.  This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices.  Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential.  In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess.

  • Iphone screen blank...how do i fix this?

    my iphone screen all of a sudden went blank and will not turn back on or reboot after holding the home button and off button at the same time for 10-20 seconds.  What do i do?

    Not sure if this helps you, but I had the same issue. I inadvertently must have chosen a filter instead of none. Once I went and fixed this, my pictures were in my roll and I could see them. Hope this helps. I think you should be able to pick a filter and take a picture, but it worked for my phone.

  • Songs on Iphone now won't play, how do i fix this?

    I downloaded several songs from itunes from my phone. most continue to play, a couple played a few times and now wont play at all. I synced my iphone to my computer, took the songs off my iphone and put them back on and they still won't play. Ive redownloaded the songs and they still wont play. All of the songs will play on my computer but for some reason those few wont play just on my iphone. please help!

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My messages screen on the iphone 4 is stuck kina like frozen and it wont rotate how can i fix this

    my messages screen on the iphone 4 is stuck kina like frozen and it wont rotate how can i fix this?

    Double tap home button quickly in new row of icons at bottom, tap and hold your Message Icon until the Red Minus Sign appears, tap it to delete from background memory. Then slide all the icons to the right, all the way, see if the Lock Icon is present, if locked, unlock it. See if Message is better, if not, Reset iPhone, hold both home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
    I did some troubleshooting..
    I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
    Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
    Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
    BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
    So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

  • HT1296 I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    And it won't by design and intention since you are not syncing your iPhone with your iTunes library on your computer. 
    If you have authorized the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, with your iPhone connected - at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.  
    For contacts and calendar events, is Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 available?

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

    My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

    Thanks but that did not work. Details: when I don't have headphones plugged in, the volume won't go up or down and it also displays a circle with a line through it meaning it's not working. When I go to settings and look at my audio output, it only says headphones, even if no headphones are plugged in. I have tried inserting and removing headphones many times, also tried poking the inside of the headphone jack with a stripped Q-tip, and nothing works. Something inside the jack that senses headphones is not sensing the lack of headphones.

  • When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • HT1766 Restore backup function says there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need on my iPhone?

    My family member's iPhone recently erased all of its contact information, with no action taken by my family member. She is trying to use the restore backup function to recover her contacts.
    The restore backup functions says that there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need to complete this backup?
    We have removed the majority of pictures from her phone, and she has 4.1 GB of memory free.
    Thank you!

    You need at least as much space as you have used on the iPod. Could be as much as 64 GB but is probably much less.
    Find a way to delete what you do not need on the computer. Start by emptying the Recycle Bin.
