My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

Hello Edward
Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Hold alt or option key at bootup, do asny boot choices show up?

My iphone 5 camera is not working how can i fix this problem ?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Updated my IOS 7 now some of my games are not work, how can I fix this problem?

I have updated my Ipad to the IOS 7 and now some of my games/apps are not working, how can i fix this or revert back to what I had before?

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

My ipod touch 4th gen. is stuck on the white screen and my lock button is broken

My ipod touch is stuck on the 'white screen of death' and every website says to hold down the lock/wake button and the home button to fix it. But my lock button is jammed. How do I fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My lock screen button won't work how can I fix this?

My lock button won't work, every time I click it it won't lock my screen unless I press the button hard enough and or in a weird gesture, how can I fix this where I don't need to struggle locking it?

Stating the obvious,
Can you Reset it?
Have you checked if the Hold switched is not in locked position? (should not see the red mark)

I bought iphone 4 from friend and he said he had dropped it in sweet tea at the top and it moved down to home button and now home button don't work how can i fix it? this happend long ago

ok i bought an iphone 4 from a friend he told me the story about it saying he had a glass of sweet tea with a little bit left, and he had dropped the phone in there upside down and it completely screwed up the phone and it was freaking out. after a while he said it all went away as if nothing happened but now the home button doesn't work so is there a way to fix the home button without taking it apart or sending it somewhere to get fixed?

You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store or start here https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do to send it in. In either case it will cost $149 USD to do an out-of-warranty replacement.

When syncing any device, the device screen appears, but there is no text. How can I fix this?

When I connect my phone, iTunes shows the device. When you go to the device screen where you would see the serial number and the check boxes of what you're syncing, there is no text. The Sync and Apply buttons are there but no wording. The check boxes are there, but no wording next to it. So you don't know what you're syncing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but it still doesn't work. And it happens with all 5 devices that I sync.

That generally indicates trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system, shannon.
Unfortunately, it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 than other Windows operating systems. (The instructions by Vortical that usually fix it on Vista and XP can't be applied on a Windows 7 system.)
Try having a look through the following (unfortunately rather long) topic for discussions of possible causes of the issue on Windows 7 systems, and possible treatments for the various font-related issues on Windows 7:

Once I add my .swf to Dreamweaver, the buttons are not clickable, how can I fix this?

Hello there,
I'd just like to start out by saying that this is the first time I have posted on these forums, so if I have done anything wrong, I apologize!
Anyway, about my question, just like the title says, once I import the .swf into Dreamweaver the buttons are not clickable, however when tested outside of Dreamweaver, they work correctly.
Basically I have an animated banner with some audio and two buttons, the buttons mute and unmute the music.
The file consists of two layers, one of which has 2 keyframes, the first keyframe has the Audio with the settings; "Effect: None. Sync: Start, Loop" and a button leading to the next frame.
The next keyframe (still on layer one) has much of the same but the Audio settings are different; "Effect: None. Sync: Stop, repeat x 1" and this will stop the music.
Now on the other layer (Rocket) I have a movie clip of a space-themed background and a rocket flying across it, the movie clip is made up of a motion tween and another movie clip which is the rocket.
I am using Flash CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 on a Windows 7 computer. I am also using Actionscript 2.0
I apologize for the amount of information and I'm not very briliant at explaining things, so here are some images of the flash file, hopefully they'll help;
Layer setup - http://i.imgur.com/iZHwfAw.jpg
The movie clip - http://i.imgur.com/ayvPJUZ.jpg
Keyframe one sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/LWbnQhO.jpg
Keyframe two sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/7kS9dO2.jpg
Actionscript for the first button/first keyframe - http://i.imgur.com/x6ROqPv.jpg - (The second button/keyframe has the same code, but obviously the instance name and frame number has been changed)
Again, I apologise if this all seems confusing!
Thanks in advance for any answers to this question
Adam.

If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting. If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output. That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file. Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly. IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

Did you already try to reset the iPod?
How to reset an iPod nano (6th generation)
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.
