  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

  • I opened a PDFs file that was attached to an email message and now it will not close when I press "Done" as it usually does. Does anyone have a solution to suggest? Thanks.

    Try double clicking your home button then force close the stuck PDF by swiping upward. Once you've done that just click the home button again to exit.

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)

  • Elements 13 will not download, when I attempt to sign in after entering my pass word the instruction block freezes up, turns white and little square blocks turn around ?

    Elements 13 will not download, when I attempt to sign in after entering my pass word the instruction block freezes up, turns white and little square blocks turn around ? Nothing seems to work and yes it is the right password.

    Is the internet working when you are entering your password?  In PSE12 and PSE13, you need to be online first-time when you register/activate your product.  It is made mandatory for reasons I don't know.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • My computer will not wake when I press a key or use the mouse....

    I have to say that I have a G4 but my question is not getting addressed in that forum and there ae many more users that utilize this one, so sorry for misleading. BUT, for some reason my computer will not wake when a key is pressed or the mouse activated. Any sugestions? Also, does anyone know of a program (shareware or free) that will clean my files and/or hard drive ( i.e. Macjanitor, Cocktail)? Thank you for your help.

    As a first step you could try trashing
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    and re-start and re-select your preferred System Preferences - Energy Saver settings.

  • HT1430 MY IPHONE 4 WILL NOT RESTART WHEN I PRESS SLEEP/WAKE BUTTOM

    I press sleep - wake button and it will not start

    Then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This should reboot the phone.

  • HT201412 My iphone's home button is not responding when I press it.  I sometimes have to press it several times before it works or it just doesn't work at all.  Any advise?

    My iphone's home button doesn't always work.  I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen.  Many times this doesn't work and I just give up.  It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day.  I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped.  Any suggestions?

    Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

  • My Iphone 4 S will not unlock from previous network. O2 says they have unlocked it.

    Itunes will not complete the unlocking process.

    Hi Guys,thanks for your replies and suggestions. I had bought the phone from my nephew as he had upgraded to an Iphone 5. It has come to light (after many days of strife, frustration, and visits to various mobile phone shops, without success). The Iphone must be unlocked from the original Itunes account IE the original owner of the phone, not the person who buys it. I hope this information will be helpful to others who find themselves in this situation in future. None of the staff at the O2 or Vodaphone shops or online support could tell me why the phone would not unlock. The message I was getting on the phone was telling me the phone could not be unlocked at this time and try again later. If problem persists contact customer services (Apple.....good luck with that one with a second hand phone over a year old).                                                                                                                                                                                      My phone has now been unlocked by my nephew after a whole load of hassle Thanks Guys. Paul.
    That has always been the case, the original owners needs to unlock the phone thru the carrier.  One of the qualifications is that you have use the carrier service.

    I just added an LG GP60 DVD writer to my Macbook Pro and the the drive will not release the disk when I try to ejecct it...any one can help?

    I only got a disc for windows and I have read that for mac it is a plug and play. It works fine when I put the disc in but when I go to remove it I have to unplug it from the USB connection and replug and then the light comes on and I can hit the release button.  I want to be able to hit the release button and the drive door just pops out so I can remove my CD.

  • Locked app will not unlock when changing permissions.

    Also, will not delete.  Any thoughts?

    No luck.  When I click the padlock, it should popup my username and ask for my password.  it doesn't even do that.  the padlock just jiggles and doesn't attempt to open.
