  • My iPhone 4S has stuck some how. It won't allow me yo swipe but tells me which button I am pressing! How do I get out of this, tried the usual, on off and holding both to reset but still stuck

    My iPhone 4S has stuck and won't allow me to swipe it open! It talks to me and tells me which button I'm pressing, tried to reset ect but not working,

    Sounds like you've switched on something under accessibility, I have an iPhone 5s & there it's under settings>General>accessibility.
    To swipe you could try using two fingers.

  • My macbook is stuck on blue screen and won't load

    Hi. Ive recently had problems with my computer. It's a white macbook and one day after I woke up it got stuck so I force turned it off. When I tried turning it on it goes to the screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel. After a few minutes it just goes to a blue screen and nothing happens. I have a lot of work on it and I don't want to wipe the computer. Also I've tried almost everything to solve this problem but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

    You'll have to get your device checked by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider, your problem might be hardware related.
    Apple Support can also take care of that:

  • Phone is Stuck on iTunes screen and won't Restore

    Ok. I've been through this forum, website and even Google. I've litterally tried everything and am now so frustrated I could scream. Here's my problem. I tried to update my brand new out of the box iPhone 4S through iTunes (which yes, it's the latest version), it stopped and froze the phone. On restarting iTunes it told me the phone was in recovery mode and need to be restored, so I clicked the Restore button. It got maybe half way through the process then flashed me an Error 21 or something.
    Here's what I've tried and all have FAILED:
    - held the on/off/sleep button and "home" button for the 10 seconds and let go of both, nada
    - held the on/off button and home button, letting go of the home button before the apple logo pops up, nada
    - held the on/off button and home button, letting go of the on/off button, and continuing to hold the home button, nada
    - went to windows > control panel > whatever, whatever > stopped apple mobile whatever > started apple mobile whatever > restarted itunes/connected phone, nada
    - restarted computer, nada
    - unselected all the duplicate songs, didn't seem to do anything...
    sooo anyone have any bright ideas of how I can bypass the iTunes/USB screen it's frozen on and at least be able to access and USE my phone?!

    Hold down the Home and Power button to shut off the iPhone. Keep it disconnected from the computer. Then, hold down the Home for 20 seconds. Connect it to the computer while continuing to hold down the Home button. Wait for iTunes to say your iPhone is in Recovery mode. Then, restore.

  • My  Iphone is frozen on the download screen and won't turn off, how do I fix it?

    I tried to download the IOS 5.0.1 and for some reason the screen froze and won't turn off. I tried shutting it off, but it won't do anything. Any ideas?!

    This happened with my phone also.  I unplugged it from the computer, and held down both the on / off key and the centre command key for about 20 seconds.  This then restarted the phone and allowed me to restore it through itunes.  Hope this helps

  • WHENEVER I DOWNLOAD FIREFOX CONSUMES MY ENTIRE SCREEN AND WON'T ALLOW ME TO SHRINK IT

    EACH TIME I DOWNLOAD FIREFOX FULL SCREEN MY SCREEN TURNS ORANGE FOR KEYPASS AND REFUSES TO LET ME SHRINK IT .
    CAN'T OPEN ANYTHING WHEN IT DOES THAT

    I assume Keypass is an add-on, so in order to regain access to Firefox without it, you could try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Can you get to your home page?
    If Firefox is stuck in "full screen" view, then the F11 key should switch it back to normal view (or vice versa). If Firefox is in normal view but the window is just way too big, please see Fred McD's suggestion.
    Finally, if Firefox is distorting the screen resolution of your system while you are using it, make sure you have not set backwards compatibility options in the shortcut you use to start Firefox. Right-click the shortcut > Properties, Compatibility. On that tab, uncheck boxes and deselect old versions to make sure Firefox uses the full capabilities of Windows 7.

  • My MacBook Pro won't boot on the Mac side I get the gray screen and then halfway through the bar loading it turns off?

    My MacBook Pro was downloading apps from iTunes and I shut the computer down at my I laws house or so I thought?  When I pulled the computer out of my backpack it was still on?  I tried to login and it kept spinning so I turned it off and now I only get a gray screen.  I can boot it in the windows side and have an external hard drive with time machine backup on it but don't know how to load it without getting onto the Mac side?
    Please help!

    turn off the mac completely
    as soon AS you hit power button press following 4 keys
    Option + Command + P + R
    that should reset it

  • Apps won't sync from iTouch to computer.  iTunes recognizes the iTouch and the app content, but the content is grayed out on the computer screen and won't allow me to sync.  My iTouch is version 4.2.1 with 6.8GB  capacity.

    I am on vacation and away from my home computer.  I installed iTunes on a computer I'm using at my son's house to enable
    me to sync my iTouch, since it has become unstable when I am playing games and continually closes and reverts to the home
    screen.
    My son's computer recognizes my iTouch and my apps appear on the screen but they are all grayed out and will not allow me
    to sync.  Can anyone help me please?

    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to add content to it from another computer it will erase the contents of your iPod and replacement it with the contents of the new library.
    In regards to the unstableness, have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I have an ipod touch 3rd gen and just reset to give to a child, it is now stuck on 4.2 and won't allow upgrade, please help

    I have an ipod touch 3rd gen I am giving to my daughter, I reset it to sync it with her itunes account and now it is stuck on OS 4.2 and won't update beyond that.  None of the apps that used to be on it (I tried to add them) will load due to the old version of OS.  Can I force an update?  Please help.

    Are you sure it's a 3rd generation Touch? If it has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, it's a 2nd generation, not 3rd. The 2nd generation Touch cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.
    (The 3rd gen Touch has Model No. A1318 etched into the back casing.)

  • My iPhone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. Please help me!

    My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode since I tried a restore Before that it kept powering on and powering off eratically and lingered on the white apple screen. I thought an install would help. Retore attempts always fail, I get the message "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)." Please help me!

    Would it make any difference if the restore was to a back up or to factory settings?
    Yes, if your backup is somehow corrupted, restoring to that backup will put the problem back to the iPhone.
    Restore as new and manually put back your content is the preferred method.
    Also the restore cuts out and fails when the restore is at the stage of 'verifying with apple'. Is there any reason apple wouldn't 'authorise' a restore?
    When restoring, the IOS will be verified with Apple server.
    Are you using PC? If so, disable anti-virus and firewall then try again.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro Stuck on White Screen and Won't Shut Down

    Greetings,
    I just received a 15 inch Macbook Pro with a 2.2 i7 processor earlier today. On my previous computer, a 2009 MB P with a Core2Duo, I've had a shutdown issue on it for the past week or so: when I click the power button, and confirm the shutdown, the computer would start shutting down as normal, however once it reached the white screen with the spinning loading symbol at the bottom, it just got stuck on that. As I've transfered my old data to my brand new computer, I'm still having the same issue with it. I was wondering if this was due to a worm, or some software incompliancy? If anyone could shed any light, I'd be greatful.
    Thanks.

    Were you using any of them when the issue occurred (or just prior to it)?
    Have you looked for updates on all of them?
    If you want to do some digging, open Console and look at the logs at, and just prior to, the time of the issue.
