hi! i went to go slide the thing to unlock my iphone 4 and it wouldnt slide, it froze up and everything is not working. i tried plugging it in but it is still frozen and nothing will work. how do i fix this?
My recommendation is to restart the iPhone. All you do is hold down the top button and hold down the home button for 5 seconds untill it automatically shuts down. Then click the top button untill you see a grey apple on your screen.

When I'm streaming videos from my Macbook Air to my AppleTV, my Macbook Air gets rather hot and the fan works hard and is loud trying to keep the laptop cool. Is this harmful to the laptop? Is this normal?
My MBA fans start running when I play video too - the CPU's video processor is working pretty hard to decode the video. The fans job is to provide better airflow. The time to worry is when you play video and the fans don't run.

My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
However, with a one day old iPod, you should be returning it for an exchange.
If there is no Apple store near you, you can arrange online service here.

My Ipod screen in black and nothing will work
Its a 3rd gen ipod nano. I just took it off the charger and was watching a podcast, I then left it on the table for a second and when I cam back the screen was black.I tried to restart it but I won't work. I went on the apple site and did the 5r's, but nothing will work. The computer wont even pick up that I plugged something in it.
I don't have itunes 8.2, can that be the issue? I did try to instal it, but near the end it told me I didn't have permission for something and aborted?
Any ideas on what I can try to do to fix it? My warranties is up, and I rather not shell out the money for a new oneI have the same problem only with the 4g nano

I have a white screen with an apple and nothing will work?
Turned my mac on and have a plain screen with an apple logo. Nothing will work?
Hi,
Some kernel extension or driver isn't loading properly, it seems. Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key down on startup until you reach the grey Apple backdrop with the spinning cogwheel and a progress bar. As soon as the progress bar shows up, you can let go of the Shift key.
Booting in Safe Mode takes a lo-ooong time, so be patient and don't interrupt (the computer booting, not me talking...). Once you've reached a workable Desktop, reboot in normal mode and tell us if it solved your problem. -
Macbook Air Mid 13 TrackPad and Keyboard Stopped working.
Both trackpad and mouse work when I have to sign into my account; however, once I'm on my windows screen both stop working. It tries and searches for bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I don't know how else to fix this issue. Please help I have tried all recovery options and erased everything on disk utility ( i saved my files first ) . for now i have been using an external mouse and keyboard. I also had the newest software update os x yosemite but when i re installed os x it installed lion but still the same problem.
finally its fixed!! ...i went on the mac osx hints site...someone suggested resetting the pram and pmu...i was worried i wouldn't be able to hit the key combinations because of the whole keyboard thing...but apparently, my keyboard still worked until it got into os x...so i reset the pmu with shift-option-control-power while the computer was off...and voila...problem solved!!
thanks for all your help....you *******!! lol jk

with firefox 3 everything works fine. with 4 and 5 when I try to complete billing info I get a question about how to handle aspx files. nothing works. all I get is a new tab with a blank screen, not data no nothing. When I loaded firefox 4 and had the problem I reinstalled 3 to solve it. I hoped when 5 came along it would include a fix, no such luck. I read many questions about AOL logon that is the same as my problem and have tried all the suggestions with no luck.
What are you expecting when the aspx window comes up, a PDF or a regular web page?
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (it usually worked with Firefox 4) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself! -

Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
Ideas anyone ?Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,
Regards form Curacao, Dutch Caribean.

I recently did a manual reboot after my MacBook Pro had frozen, and instead of the usual Apple and loading icon, it gave me the flashing question mark on a folder, which I've never encountered before. I looked up some possible reasons on my PC, and after reading that there's a problem with my HD I tried looking up how to back up my files so that I can do a clean reinstall of Yosemite (latest ver.). However, I've never used anything like Time Machine or anything else that could back up all my files, so it didn't sound like I could do anything about that at this point. I've also tried going into Disk Utility and attempting to repair the disk image. There was only 2 available, disk0 and the base system. I verified the base system, and told me there was nothing wrong (it didn't give me the option to repair anything either, on both available options). I don't think this is the right thing though, since my drive was called MacBook Pro HD. So basically this is the point I'm at now. Is there anything I can do that will repair my HD without erasing all my files?
I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked.

Hold the option key on boot to see if you can select your Macintosh HD.
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support
You can boot into Recovery and re-install the OS X on top of what you have. It will preserve your user data.
command R on boot.
