    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • I suddenly can't get email or internet access on my I-phone 4G when I'm away from home. how can I fix this?

    Yesterday, I suddenly lost the ability to access email and Internet on my I-phone when I'm away from home (where we have Wifi).   Is there a simple way to fix this?  I have gone into Settings and can't figure out what to do. 

    if you're away from how do you access data? through your network? check if you turned off your data. Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>NETWORK
    turn on Cellular Data if it's OFF
    3G should also be ON for faster access.

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

  • I have bought 50 gb of storage and iTunes is still saying there is not enough storage to download tv shows. But I have 46 gb still available. How can I fix this?

    iCloud storage cannot be used to download content, because its not on your phone.
    You need physical local storage on your Phone not iCloud to download content.
    If your iPhone no longer has enough space, you will need to delete things off your iPhone to make room.

  • TS2570 Startup:grey screen,then black,then grey,then white,then desktop. How can I fix this?

    Normal startup, from grey screen to black screen, to blank grey screen, then blank white screen, then to normal desktop. All apps appear to work properly. Why the black and white screens? How can I fix this?

    This is the KB article you need: Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    The printer problem is another story, and no I don't believe the solution is to upgrade OS X.
    Could you please post a brand new question about the printers? This one won't get much attention if it is marked "solved" and the printer problem will require a new solution. Thanks!
