Hi mltmj123,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest you close all open apps, then restart and reset your iPhone.  Here's how:

    The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
    If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

  • My iPad first gen unexpectedly shuts down unexpectedly. Any others having this problem?

    While using my iPad it shuts down. Any fixes for this?

    Mine does the same thing...I think it is because it isn't support anymore.  They are no longer doing software upgrades and many of the apps are no longer supported as well. 
    I guess we'll have to buy a new ipad if we want support or the new op sys...

  • I updated to ios5 on another computer because i was stuck on the recovery mode loop but now the problem is that when i try sync to my current one iphone does not show up or sync at all.. any ideas? gonna try uninstall right now..

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    Apple does not support 3rd party software.  Again, post in Adobe's forums.  Plenty of Mac users there who uses their products. 

  • G5 won't restart or shut down or change startup disc...

    (after several updates) my computer won't restart or shut down except manually... which prevents me from changing the startup disc (where all my important stuff is). Option key during startup doesn't give me the startup disc option either.
    I'm stuck!
    I verified and repaired permissions on both volumes, but can't switch back to the hard drive/OS I need.
    If anyone can suggest some helpful info I'd really appreciate the help.

    Hi-
    Are you using an Apple keyboard? If not, please do so while troubleshooting.
    Try resetting the PRAM. Hold CommandOption+PR while starting up. Hold the keys until you hear the second startup chime, then release. The machine should then boot normally.
    If this fails to return function, a PMU/SMU reset may be required.
    There is a possibility of damaged files within the OS. Boot to the OS install disc, open Disk Utility and run Repair Disk on the Startup volume.

    Hi ohmghimire,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're seeing unexpected behavior when using USB devices, try resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the article with these steps here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If you still see this behavior after resetting the SMC, or your computer won't turn on, try the steps in this article next:

  • I moved from an old macbook to a new one.  I copied all my files onto a hard drive.  On trying to setup my mail, i went into documents, microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it.  Urgent help pls

    I moved from an old macbook to a new one.  I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive.  On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it.  Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable.  I desperately need to access my old mail.  How do I do this?  I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook.  Is there a way for me to search for the Database file?  Maybe I copied it to a different location?  Urgent help please.

    Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
    and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
    You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.
    "MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011),... have a 15" 2012 Macbook pro with 2gb of ram, i7 processor"
    That's a little confusing?

  • Why won't my computer shut down

    My computer will not shut down. Most the times it says that it is because applications are failing to quit.  Yes, I have tried to force quit  multiple ways, such as Command+option+esc.  I have also held down the mouse if on the dock, but the force quit option has not been present during those efforts.  Applications that have been unresponsive so far: iTunes, The Sims 3, Safari, Word, Preview.  I tried deleting applications, but failed because they need to be quit before that is possible. This also goes for installing updates. Thank you for your help.

    hold option and right click the app you're trying to close and then you will see force quit. you can also force quit in Activity monitor

  • G4 Won't Restart or Shut Down from OS 9.2.2

    My G4 867 suddenly began refusing to restart or shut down when booted in OS 9.2.2.
    If I'm running under OS 9.2.2, the only way to shut down or restart is to hit the Restart or Power button. If I want to restart and go to OS X, I have to load my OS X Install disk, do a manual restart (as above), boot the CD (holding down the "C" key), and then choose Restart from the Installer menu.
    I've zapped the P-RAM and rebuilt the desktop. I've tried booting with Extensions off. I trashed the System and Finder Prefs files.
    I tried to install a new OS 9, but the computer refuses to boot from my OS 9 Install disk. It gets as far as a blank desktop and then freezes. I copied a new System folder from another G4 and rebooted from that, but it still won't restart or shut down.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, Jerry -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    By chance do you have a utility named File Saver installed? I think it came with either Norton Utilities or TechTool at one time. If so, try disabling it.
    Otherwise, try throwing away these preferences files and restarting -
    Energy Saver Preferences
    Finder Preferences
    Mac OS Preferences
    Power Mgt Preferences
    System Preferences
    Afterwards you may need to redo some settings in Finder's Preferences and in the Appearance and Energy Saver control panels.

  • TS1702 My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

    My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

    We need clarification here.
    Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software.  iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher.  Leopard is OSX 10.5.8.  You have two alternatives right now.  One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard.  This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4.  The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7.  The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
    Here is iTunes 10.6.3
    iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    If you want to try upgrading:
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).  If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory").  If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see.  "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

  • When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes.  Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

    When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes.  Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

    OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
    Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

  • Why won't Firefox 33 shut down properly?

    I must have just got an update to V33 because I was not seeing this problem before today. I have not myself been messing with the configuration in the last couple of weeks. (Not sure when the last time I actually closed Firefox successfully, but it was definitely within the last 3 days.) Looking at Submitted Crash Reports, I see just one on 10/3 and then 53 of them spanning the interval from 7PM to 8PM this evening, during which I had had to kill it from the Task Manager 3 times because it was just hanging when it was supposed to be shutting down. Here is a small sample:

    Firefox seems to be working normally when I restart it.
    I really do not want to have to do a reset to fix this. However, if I were to have to, would Sync put things back?
    Is reverting to V32 an option? If so, how?
    I'd appreciate any help.

    Uhh. Never mind. After restarting Windows, it started shutting down normally again.
