My 4S phone has completely frozen and will not even shut down.

I was trying to open a video link, and now I just have a black screen with the spinning white circle (which is not spinning). I have tried both pressing and holding the power button to try and force a shut down (nothing happened) and pressing and holding the power and home keys to reset (still nothing).

Force your device into rebooting by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears, then release.  Wait for your lock screen to appear.

    babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
    MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
    It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
    MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
    When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
    If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
    Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?

  • Address Book 'Frozen' and Will Not Open

    My Address Book has completely frozen and will not open. Whenever I try to open the application, it just 'hangs' there, without actually opening. It was working fine only a few hours ago.
    I've tried the following:
    *Restarting my MacBook 3 times
    *Restoring Address Book from Time Machine
    *Deleting Address Book and reinstalling from the Leopard Installer disk
    Nevertheless, Address Book will not open. Any suggestions?

    I fixed the problem! I'm including the solution here, in case anyone else has the same problem.
    It appears that my Smart Groups somehow caused my Address Book to freeze up. Unfortunately, you can't delete your Smart Groups while the application is open. Instead, try this:
    1.) Close down Address Book
    2.) Go to Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor
    3.) Enter the following into Script Editor, replacing NAME OF SMART GROUP with the actual name:
    tell application "Address Book"
    delete group "NAME OF SMART GROUP"
    end tell
    4.) Click "Run."
    5.) Reopen Address Book. This should fix the problem. At least it did for me.

  • My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

    my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

    It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you.  Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement.  Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

    If you think your phone is working even though the screen is broken, you might try backing it up to iTunes on your computer.
    If you can't do this you could take it to an Apple store and see if they can back it up for you.

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:

    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

    You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

    Help Diggs1936

    I would try reinstalling.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • What does - Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.  mean?

    I spent the month of November on the phone with Apple support.on a crashing and permissions going wild situation.  I ended up getting a new HD for my iMac through and Apple Authorized service center.  All has been well until today when I woke the iMac up from sleep to have it crash - a white screen of death.  I rebooted and ran disk utilities from the HD partition and from the command R partition to have it say this -
