Try restarting. If it doesn't promopt you with the power bar to slide it off, then follow the reset directions also listed on that page.

  • "unknown error has occurred" while trying to update apps

    Hi all, hoping someone can help:
    When trying to update apps in the App store, after being prompted to log into the app store, I get the error message "An unknown error has occurred" in red. I've tried restarting (the app and my mac) clearing the cache, and my firewall is not on. I am able to sign in to the the Itunes store, but cannot sign in at all to the App store. Any insights? Thanks!

    Make sure you are signed out of iTunes before signing in to the Mac App Store.
    And try deleting App Store pref file..
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac and try the App Store.

    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup

  • My ipad 2 disconnects while trying to update and cant complete syncing / copying of apps.

    Recently My ipad 2 has not been able to get a full charge and after repeat attempts manages a 95% charge. i updated to iOS 8.1.3. and my ipad disconnects while trying to update and cant complete syncing / copying of apps. it just keeps rebooting itself!

    Howdy frakie,
    If you are having an issue with your iPad restarting itself, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    In particular, since you are already using the latest version of the operating system -
    If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Updated Scrabble on my iPad now it crashes when I open app, how do I fix without losing games I am playing now?

          Updated Scrabble on my iPad, now it crashes when I open. How do I fix, without losing games I am playing now?

    I have a similar issue.  I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6.  All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566.  All apps worked perfectly under 10.5.  Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
    Crashed Thread:  0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    (BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps.  Could this be related?)

  • My phone has frozen while trying to do the iOS8 update. Help please

    What do i do. Can i get it to reset so i can restore from my back up.

    You'll have to be more specific as to how did it freeze. At which stage of the iOS8 update and also roughly how long has it stopped moving for.
    Option A - Wait for another 15-20 minutes
    Option B - Perform a reset by unplugging the iPhone and holding the home button and power button together for 10-20s. Replug the device into iTunes and select restore from backup (latest timestamp).

  • My iPad has started running slow when using YouTube how do I fix it?

    When I play vids on YouTube it's started taking forever to buffer! Never had this problem before but tried few things like restoring iPad, turning it on and off and turning my Internet modem off. Can anyone help pleas?

    I also have this problem and have search the support boards at apple and other websites. I have tried the suggestions and nothing so far has helped...changed DNS, tried YouTube using safari, rebooted my iPad..killed all apps, etc.  I use iPad at my library and Internet here is great. I can't make changes to their routers as some sites have suggested. Funny thing is I end up using my Samsung Galaxy SII to view these same YouTube videos and it's lightening fast at my library...a little slower using my data plan but not by much. Wish I could use my iPad as the screen detail would be better but too slow, lags to the point of not even being fun.  This is my 1st apple product and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth....from what I see posted on the boards this is a BIG problem for many, many users...can't even believe apple doesn't know about it and have an official solution!

  • My iPad seems to stall when I update all, how do I fix that?

    update all does not seem to work...what do I do?

    Are you talking about app updates? Try closing the App Store from the multitasking tray:
    1) Open App Store
    2) Click Home button to close App Store
    3) Double click Home button to bring up multitasking tray
    4) Press and hold App Store icon in tray; minus sign will appear; press the minus sign
    5) Wait 30 seconds and then open the App Store again
    Did that help?

  • TS3274 Outlook has frozen on my I-Pad. How do I fix it? Thanks. Andrew K.

    I have wi-fi connection so that's not the problem. I can't download new emails nor can I open some existing ones.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]
