My iphone 4s keeps shutting down on it's own and seems to restart itself. Pressing the home button or trying a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. Is anyone else having problems like this?

My iPhone 4s keeps randomly shutting down. It usually does this after it's been sitting in sleep mode for a few minutes. Pressing the home button or attempting a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. It seems to turn on on it's own. It has done this since I got it and seems to be doing it more frequently. I've only had the phone for about 2 months.

Can't set up email on Note 4. anyone else having problems with this?

Just got the Note 4 today and have been unable to set up an email acct using the email client. Keep getting the msg "Unable to set up acct. Authentication failed." I have used the same settings to set up the acct on other devices. Any help much appreciated.

ZWM,
We definitely want to help resolve this for you. However, the security settings are dependant on how your EDU accounts are set up. You can of course change them using trial and error and test for successful set up. Otherwise you may need to reach out to the Network Administrator to confirm settings and compatibility. Please let us know if we can further assist. Thanks

Is anyone else having problems running Flash Player on Mountain Lion?

After installing Flash Player on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, my computer started crashing when I put it to sleep. When I uninstalled Flash, I no longer had the problem. Is anyone else having problems like this with Flash Player? Is this an issue with Mountain Lion or Adobe? Is there a fix for it, or am I just out of luck with the prospect of running Flash Player on my new Mac?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IPhone 4 will not turn on, hard reset does not work.

walked home today, slight rain, headphones in. did it a thousand times no problems. half an hour after getting home i check my phone and it doesnt turn on. liquid contact indicators are untouched, hard reset will not turn the phone on. in addition plugging my phone in has no effect.
is there a fix for this? does anyone know what i can do.

i just experienced an odd problem. Last night, i turned OFF my iphone before going to sleep (as i do every night, and i would turn it back on when i wake up). This morning, i tried turning on my iphone and nothing happened! i tried charging it (using several different chargers btw) and it wouldnt turn on at all.
But after looking at this forum, i did a hard reset and it was finally able to turn on again.
Does anyone know what this problem might be? Even though i got it working already, i'd like to know what might be the cause of it so i can avoid this issue in the future.

the devices is not popping up in our itunes. is anyone else having this problem. can you help me if you have the same problem

Try rebooting the computer and restarting the device.
Try a different cable.
In rare cases fluff in the connector port can prevent proper contact with the connectors used to transfer data. An air duster or thin piece of card or plastic can be used to tease out debris if that is the problem.

TS1424 I downloaded a song and it will not play in its entirety. Is anyone else having this problem?

I downloaded a song and it will not play in its entirety. Is anyone else having this problem? This has occurred on two or three songs I've downloaded lately.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a couple of weeks or so.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

HT1933 I have been charged for downloading Indira Budiman from itunes multiple times, how to report to itunes? Is anybody else also having problems like this? And also need to know how to block them from charging again?

I have been charged for downloading Indira Budiman from itunes multiple times, how to report to itunes? Is anybody else also having problems like this? And also need to know how to block them from charging again?

I don't know who/what Indira Budiman is, but you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's an app then does it allow you to make in-app purchases within it ? If it does then you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions on your device.

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!
Regards and Thanks,

Hi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

Anyone else having problems making a hyperlink to a file in CS4?

Anyone else having problems making a hyperlink to a file?
I have a document in CS4 that I'm exporting to pdf. When I create a hyperlink in CS4 to a file, I am getting the message when I click the link in the pdf ' Cannot find the file:C%5Document' etc.
When creating the link, File is selected, Shared Destination is unchecked & checking the link using 'Go to Destination' shows the link works.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, I've checked the properties of the link - when exported from CS4, the Link Properties - Actions are 'Open a web link' 'file:C:\Documents%20'etc whereas if the link is created in Acrobat the link properties are ' 'Open a file' 'file:C\Documents and Settings' etc, and it works.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm only getting that to work with the catalogue & sample in the same folder. In any case from a useability standpoint using URL brings up the Security Warning & putting the catalogue pdf in the same folder as 100 sample pdfs makes it more difficult to locate.
I'm at a loss to understand why the functionality of creating a link in InDesign cannot be the same as Acrobat; where you can select 'Open a file', browse to that file and the relative links are maintained when you burn to a disc. InDesign looks as if it will do the same but when you select File as the link & browse to the destination file but InDesign treats it as a URL & brings up the the web link cursor in the finished pdf. That still looks like a bug to me.

My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down before battery is low

Why does my iPhone 4S keep shutting down when it shows I still have 30% battery or more still available? For example...my last phone started shutting down at 30% and by the time I took it to the store a couple weeks later, it was shutting down at 88% (they saw it for themselves, ran diagnostics, and came up with no issues). Getting a new phone every 3 weeks is not ideal. I'm on my 2nd replacement phone in 2 months and it started back up yet again-shut down at 31% a couple days ago. I charge the phone to 100% and it never fails, it shuts down at a higher percentage each day (it shut down at 35% today). I have done everything Apple Support has suggested with no luck (including full restore). Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Hi,
I simply use the phone until I have only a little charge left. Once that's reached I'll simply let phone idle completely or drain the rest with lightweight use. We have big difference here as I can actually reach 1% rather than phone dying at 20++ percentages. Previous said, e.g yesterday phone just died after some use with 12% battery left and started again when bringing indoors. I was then able to drain the battery from 12% -> 1% before it eventually died completely. After this I couldn't start the phone anymore instead getting the charge icon constantly, so I just plugged it in at that point. After charging over night I would then consider the battery charge meter calibrated.
In your case you could test if you can still start the phone at 47%. Even if it's displaying only charge icon you could try to hold the sleep/power button longer and/or do reset with holding home+sleep/power button a few seconds. If it indeed doesn't start it would indicate battery truly is empty. It it does.. then you could try to continue using the phone hopefully hitting lower battery levels and eventually try to fully recharge it in case you'll see the battery charge percentage working any different.
Below picture shows I can still reach the "0%" battery level and also pretty good usage times.. so the problem with me really is just that the stupid phone doesn't like cool temperatures (possibly after iOS6 upgrade)

HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

IPhone 5 keeps shutting down and needs rebooting even when fully charged?

My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down when left unattended. This requires a full reboot and this doesn't always work either. Sometimes it requires a full reboot several times. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I travelled to the UK and my phone started having this issue over there (i have turned the cellular data off). I restored my phone last night but when it asked me to set it up again, i chose for it to set up from the back up i had stored on my Mac. The problem is still presistent even though it is shutting down less often. I am going to restore it to the factory settings tonight and see if I keep getting the same issue I will take it to a Mac Genius. However if it works i will let you know

Is Anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" Foggy display?

Is anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" having a foggy display in lower right hand corner after the computer has been on for 30 or 45 min? This is now the 2nd computer that has this same problem. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the IMAC 24"? Does anyone know what might be the cause? I have only had the computer for a month. Thanks very much.

Thank you for the nice welcome.
Sorry about posting in the wrong area I found the correct discussion board. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7998535#7998535
Its seems that I am not alone in my problem but I do have good news to report that apple support has acknowledged the issue is happening and a fix is in the works. The support and assistance I received today helped greatly to restore my faith in apple product satisfaction.
Lets hope you don't have this experience in the future, hopefully a solution can be reached that is in everyone best interest. I may have to drive a greater distance to another apple store but for myself and others like me feel its worth the extra effort to get better customer service in the long run.

Is Anyone Else Having Problems With 10.6.1 Freezing?

Is anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.6.1 freezing? On a perfectly-maintained Windows PC, 10.6.1 is suddenly freezing for no reason. This means that my iPhone or iPad can't be synchronized.

From my experience, involving three hours of troubleshooting using Apple's tutorials, without help from Apple:
1. Do the steps here to remove and reinstall all Apple software on your machine, "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP," at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
2. If you care, they don't tell you or ask you to uninstall MobileMe in those steps.
3. After I did as they wrote to do, iTunes wouldn't recognize either my iPhone or iPad. On my own I found that Applie's software reinstallation failed to install the Apple Mobile Device Software Driver. So I followed the steps at, "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows," which took me 25 minutes alone to find. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Those steps solved everything and iTunes is now back to normal.

My iphone 4s keeps shutting down on it's own and seems to restart itself. Pressing the home button or trying a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. Is anyone else having problems like this?
