Try this; Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

  • My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

    I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
    I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
    What is wrong and what should I do?

    Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
    The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
    Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.

  • I've just upgrade my ios 5.1 to ios 6 but my ipod is now hanging up and i cannot turn it off even i follow the troubleshooting procedures. What should I do? I don't know what is the problem.

    I have problem with my Ipod touch when I upgrade it with ios 6. I cannot turn it off. I have alrealy followed the troubleshooting instructions to press both the off/sleep button and the home button but still it will not turn off. I cannot use my ipod anymore for it is just hanging up.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I cannot turn voiceover off in Ipad2. Also can not see accessibility button on seetings / general. Last button i can scroll is "RESTRICTION" button.

    I cannot turn voiceover off in Ipad2. Also can not see accessibility button on seetings / general. Last button i can scroll is "RESTRICTION" button. I also tried triple clicking home button, still can not get over. Please help.

    Are you not able to scroll down the righ-hand side of Settings > General using three fingers on the screen ?
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes:Connect iPad to your computer and select iPad in the iTunes device list. Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary screen.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set 'Seeing' to 'Neither'

  • My iPad keeps flashing the white apple and I cannot turn it off

    I downloaded iOS 7, 6 days ago, I was closing an app when the screen froze and now I just get the flashing white apple, and I cannot turn it off.

    Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    If this does not work, try to connect again in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My iPhone 4 froze when I was using the Facebook app. The only thing moving is the indicator at the top spinning to show its "thinking." Its been like this for about an hour, I can't even turn it off. Any ideas (other than letting the battery go dead)?

    Thank you, I've tried that but it won't work either, the logo never comes up. It just stays on the FB app screen. I tried connecting to iTunes to see if I can fix something from there and it freezes iTunes. Also tried disconnecting the wifi (I don't know how I thought that would help but worth a try) and plugging it into the charger but still nothing. I think I'll have to visit the store tomorrow. I appreciate it, though!

  • My imac froze. I turned it off & on from the back

Now, i think i have all my music but I can't find my apps. plus, all my podacts & some TV shows are under music & i don't know how to move them to thier proper places
    Please help

    I had this issue with my iPad 4. I rebooted the iPad holding down the two "start buttons," which is the home bottom on the bottom and power button on the top right, in the portrait position. Also check to see if you muted the iPad in settings or just turned down the sound all the way, or some other setting in "Sounds."  I know that may sound stupid but it's an easy fix I'd that's the problem. I'm not an expert at all but I hope this helps. I'm actually having an issue with my update. It asked for a code after the update. Now I have to use it every time and can't get rid of it. Hopefully somebody will read my post!

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • When I activated VoiceOver, capital s was used to start reading.  I cannot turn it off so as to be able to use capital s in ordinary utilities (Word, textedit..)  Restarting did not help.

    When I activated VoiceOver, capital s was used to start reading.  I cannot turn it off so as to be able to use capital s in ordinary utilities (Word, textedit..)  Restarting did not help.

    Hi, benson -
    If it is a matter of VoiceOver being turned on when you press Shift-S, you can change the keyboard command key combo for that. Open System Preferences, select the Keyboard item. In the new window, click the Keyboard Shortcuts button.
    In the left list, click Universal Acess. In the new list on the right, be sure the last item, "Turn VoiceOver on or off", is checkmarked, then click the command-key setting on the right of that line. A small text box will open - enter the new command-key combo you wish to reset it to.
    Suggestion - the original setting for that is Command-F5 (that's the number 5, not the letter S). Unless you have a particular need to use Command-F5 for something else, I would reset it to that. If you do need to set it to something else, include the Command-key as part of the combo - doing so prevents accidental activation when using routine keyboard strokes.

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
