Please help my gen 3 iPad just crashed to a blue screen I have tried everything to fix it. I've plugged it in to the charger and my computer and it doesn't respond. Any suggestions would be a help

Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    Hi kingminjing,
    Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.

  • I am trying to stream video from iTunes store for the last 2 days and all I get is the message "iTunes store is unavailable. Try again later." I have tried turning it off, restoring it, signing in and out again.  Netflix works though.

    I am trying to stream video from iTunes store for the last 2 days and all I get is the message "iTunes store is unavailable. Try again later." I have tried turning it off, unplugging all cords, restarting it, reseting it, restoring it, and signing in and out again.  Netflix works, but iTunes seems to be bugging out.  If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Problems with the recharging....need help ASAP.

    i use my computer constantly and recharge it constantly... today i found that when i plugged the cable to recharge it, the light on the plug didnt go on nor would it charge the battery... could it be that the cable burnt up or is it the computer that is malfunctioning??? thanks.

    Can you swap adapters with a friend and see if his adapter works with your iBook? If not, can you go to an Apple Store and have them try a different adapter with it?
    If you shut down the computer and remove the battery, can you start up with just the adapter? Or will it not start up from the adapter alone?
    Chances are good that it's the adapter since it doesn't light up at all. If it's the computer at fault, the adapter ring usually glows green all the time, indicating that the iBook isn't charging the battery.

  • Updated to current version and it won't start up. sqlite3.dll not found. Try to reinstall. I have tried many times unsuccessfully. What is the fix?

    A pop-up told me to update to the current version. I did. Installation completes successfully. When I try to run the program, open a browser window after installation, I get an error that says sqlite3.dll not found, try to reinstall the program. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling about a dozen times over the last few days, and I always get the same error.

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • TS1286 what can I do if I cannot sync with ITUNES as USB is not recognised, iphone is not charging and apple icon displays and then dissapears - loads and then dissapears....?

    I started having issues charging my Iphone and found that if it was switched off and on mains power it would charge.
    It does not allow syncing with Itunes and or usb conncection.
    I have a lot of photos on my phone that I have not been able to save (USB issue) and I am worried about retrieving these.
    If my phone is connected to mains power - the apple icon comes on - then it goes off - then a few seconds later the icon comes up again and then off again?
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Steaming videos will not work on firefox, but will work on internet explorer.

    Hi arpriltime,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Need Help ASAP!!! So FRUSTRATING!!! text message problems!!!

    I have 2 problems right now with my BB Torch 9810. I need help ASAP.
    1. It only saves 20 text messages. Messages that I received from august 2012. But it seems other messages are not stored. I don't delete messages, so I don't know where my other messages go. And sometimes if you create a new text, text history will show. But not anymore. This have been going on for a long time. 
    2. When I receive text message from some of my contacts, it will show the first few words of the text. But when you click on it, the message is empty. funny thing is, not all of my contacts are like this. 

    Hey iragarcia,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest performing the following to resolve the issue: 
    1. Create a backup of all your data by using BlackBerry Desktop Software.  In BlackBerry Desktop Software go to Device>Backup and save the file onto your PC or Mac.
    2. On the BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphone go to Options>Security>Security Wipe and put a checkmark beside 3rd party applications as well.  Type in the word BlackBerry and press wipe data.
    Please Note: You can re-install your applications through BlackBerry World.
    3. Once completed test sending and receiving some SMS messages prior to restoring any data.  If the issue is resolved, then go into BlackBerry Desktop Software and go to Device>Restore and choose custom and only choose contacts.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • I bought an iPad 2 for Christmas and a small crack appeared near the middle of the screen, I put on a screen protector but it spread and now goes across entire screen, it is barely noticeable and everything works, what can I do to get it fixed.

    I bought an ipad2 for Christmas, a small crack started near middle of the screen, I put a screen protector on but it spread the length of the screen. It is barely noticeable and everything else is fine. What can I do to get it fixed? Is it under warentee? The store I bought it from said call the apple store. I called the apple store and they said bring it in but store is a 80 minute drive and they might fix it for at least $200 more. I described what happened and employee said that was impossible or basically I am a liar. Any thoughts out there? I just find it hard to believe that with all iPads sold none have had an imperfection with the glass. Mean it still works but why do I neen to pay hundreds of dollars to fix this?

    The technician apparently doesn't believe, or at least isn't sure, that the crack would have appeared without some sort of impact to the iPad. I have no way of knowing whether or not the crack in your device appeared spontaneously nor not, but what I believe really doesn't matter; it's what Apple believes, and if they believe that some damage occurred to the iPad, due to a drop, being hit, having something dropped on it, whatever, If you can't convince them that the crack occured spontaneously, then the problem will not be covered under warranty and you have to pay for the replacement. You can try going to the Apple Store, explaining the situation, and hope that the technician agrees that the problem wasn't due to user damage, but no one here can guarantee that. You'll just have to try.
    And yes, sometimes people do lie. I'm not saying that you did, but the Apple technician has I'm sure heard a number of lies from people in similar situations.
    Regards.

  • I am using I Photo 4.0.3. When I start it, loading pictures never ends and I cannot use I Photo; What can I do?

    I am using I Photo 4.0.3. When I start it, loading pictures never ends and I cannot use I Photo; What can I do?

    When did this begin?  Did you run any updaters just before this began and, if so, what were they? 
    That's a very old iPhoto version so give this a try:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down.
    2 - select Options #3 and #4.
    4 - Rebuild the library. 
    If that fails to help continue with this:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My wifes ipad 1 went to a blue screen. I restored it and still nothing.  Is there any other fixes?

    My wifes ipad 1 went to a blue screen. I restored it and still nothing.  Is there any other fixes?

    My guess, based on your info and the fact that the shuffle is an older model, is that the shuffle's battery is worn out and not holding a charge.  When you plug it in, it functions because it is getting power from the USB connection and appears to charge.  When you disconnect it, it goes dead because battery does not hold the charge.
    Since you have already tried doing a Restore, the problem is hardware and not software.  Unless you want to do the work yourself
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iPod+Shuffle+2nd+Generation+Battery+Repla cement/3656/1
    the cost for replacing the battery probably exceeds the $50 for a new 4th gen shuffle.
