My ipad will not scroll and in order to do anything i have to triple touch any icon or letter for the thing to respond. how do i get these functions back?

I was watching a video online yesterday on my ipad, closed the cover to move to another location when I opened the cover back up my ipad was acting funny. Now I can't get the scroll function to work and to get any of the buttons to work I need to triple tap them. Tried to reset by holding down the sleep button and the open/close buttons at the same time but all that does is alternate between a black screen and a screen with the apple logo.
If i let the battery run all the way down when I recharge will that reset the device? any other suggestions on what to do?

It sounds like you had Voice Over enabled in the Accessibilty Settings. Are you are able to start the iPad now? It sounds like that is an issue as well.
This explains how to turn Voice Over off and on.

You don't need or necessarily want to let the battery run down at all. If you let the battery run down and then recharge, that will not reset the device.
If the iPad is not responding at all, look through this for help in order to get the iPad up and running again, and then you can deal with Voice Over.

TS1474 When I downloaded the new itunes to my new computer not all the songs transfered from my account. Most of the songs were on for over a year. How do I get these songs back?

We don"t use itunes very often, but when we do there alwys seems to be a new version to down load. We just get used to the old one. Now with the new computer we wanted to download the new version and transfer our old songs. I'm missing all the old albums I purchased last year and the year befor. How can I get these valuable products back?

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

After re-installing my MacBook Pro hard drive, I lost my Firefox/Mozilla 'top banner' (red ,yellow and orange in color) and with it my ability to down load via a small tab located top right on it's bar. How do I get this function back??

Recently I found it necessary to re-install my entire operating system, and I lost my ability to down load streaming videos. I am an artist almost 70 yrs. old, and am not very computer proficient which is why I purchased a MacBook Pro. I used Firefox/Mozilla to do downloading because it was easy. When I brought my system back up I found that the top 'Firefox banner' had changed from red, orange and yellow in color to shades of gray. With this change found that I no longer had the download 'tab' to click on to initiate downloads (located top right on the Firefox top section).
I've tried re-installing Firefox and Antbar download helper but am still not able to download. How do I get the download capability back again???? ......roxor999

Your storage device is probably faulty. It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.

Bookmark sidebar will not scroll and bookmarks will not open in Firefox 7 or 8

Cannot get past Firefox 6 without probelms with Bookmarks sidebar. Sidebar will not scroll and folders will not open to reveal bookmark contents. Had this problem with Firefox 7 and again with Firefox 8. Would like to use latest version for security reasons, but it is useless to me if I can't access bookmarks

Try:

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

my Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

The best way to charge an iPad is to use the charger that came with it connected to a known good wall outlet. The following might be the problem.
No power in the outlet.
Bad charger unit. Try a different charger.
Bad cable. Try a know good cable.
Dirt in the connector on the iPad. Check and clean.
A fault in the charging software. 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.
A hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets the iPad to turn on and/or to charge ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My iPad will not charge and every time I charge it. It comes up with the iTunes icon and I will not charge, it is not a new I pad and the same charger I use for the I pad I use for my I phone and it will charge. What is wrong?

What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 on 9/12 and during my order I could upgrade my current iPhone 4s and get $100 towards the iPhone 6. How do I get that $100 back?

I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 on 9/12 and during my order it said I could upgrade my current iPhone 4s and get $100 towards the iPhone 6. How do I get that $100 back becaus eit did not come off the order and when I look at the trade in value it is only $36

Hi GBR94, currently we would only have one set promotion for the new iPhone and that would give you $200.00 off when trading in a previous iPhone model that would be free of phsyical damage. However, if you are not using this promotion and still would be eligible for upgrade you would be able to receive the standard upgrade discount off your device.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now over 100 songs have an exclamation mark beside them and won't play. The message says: "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found." How do I get these songs back?

Did you buy anything from the App Store? All of those stores are connected to the iTunes Store so that's probably why you got something that said iTunes on it.
If you bought an app, for example, that was $30 you'll probably see "iTunes Store" on the receipt.

I have an IPad that has an old apple ID for the app store. How do I get rid of that so that I can get into the app store with my own nID and password?
