My iPad 2 touch screen will not work. The screen is currently locked. The sliders work, but the number pad doesn't! My screen was shattered months ago, and worked fine until recently. I need to delete confidential info before replacing the glass. HELP!

Again, everything worked perfectly until about two days ago. Out of nowhere, the numbers on the unlock screen stopped working. The sliders still work, the photo button still works. I've tried reseting it multiple times, and powering it off multiple times as well! Any help would be very helpful. It needs to be fixed as soon as possible for a private buyer. Thank you!!

Have a read at all this, including the links. I personally would then proceed in this order.
Open iTunes on your computer. Connect your device (iPad or whatever) to the computer. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding home button until your device recognises it is in Recovery Mode. (Perhaps 10-20 seconds.) If the device screen is black (blank) then it is in DFU Mode.
See this link and note the sentence commencing, 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page.

I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried?

I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried? Should I just let it expire.

Unless you have a company or school iPod, that profile was installed by an app you installed. It is likely that the app will no longer function when that date is reached. You can Google the name of the profile and that may provide some more information.

I bought an iphone 5 about 4 months ago and got applecare. yesterday I had to get on a different plan within the same company so i traded in my phone and got a new iphone 5. can i transfer my applecare to this new phone or would I have to buy it again?

I bought a 16gb iphone 5 about 3 months ago and got applecare. yesterday I had to get on a different plan within the same company so i traded in my phone and got a new 32gb iphone 5. can i transfer my applecare to this new phone or would I have to buy it again?

As this is a WW forum with different AppleCrare offerings you need to specify which Country
as in North America has AppleCare+ and everywhere else AppleCare ,very different products
So to avoid incorrect guidance suggest you specify Country

Hi, I just downloaded the latest version of firefox for my mac but everytime I open it it's prompting me to re-save and re-install it. I updated it because I didn't have the latest browser to print coupons off the internet. Please help!!!!!!!!

It's also always asking me to re-save the version of adobe player I downloaded and installed right after mozilla.

Think I just found it. You need to click on the right hand side where it says Firefox 3.6.16 (under the search.
It's confusing because on the left the are some Firefox 3.6.16 for other languages.

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

Good luck hope it works.

My touch screen will not work.

Hey ajnissly25,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the touchscreen on the iPhone wont work. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

HT201412 ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

I have the same issue on my Ipad Air. Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode. A couple of interesting things though. a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
