My sister gave me her iphone 3gs because she got the iphone 4 but it won't go past apple logo tried restoring it via itunes but it can't it flashes a white screen then goes back to the apple logo and repeats. Yes it had water damage a long time ago
Why can't I just restore it under a new account or something liked that? What else can I try in order to restore it I have tried everything even under her itunes acct and all. Please help!
I don't know what operating system out has my computer first see it when itunes does.
Sounds like the iPhone is damaged beyond repair.

If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller

Why do I get a flash of white screen then forced back to my home screen?
When I open some apps like Facebook or even mail, the screen goes white for a second then closes the program and takes me back to my home screen. I've tried a reset and a restore but no luck. Any ideas?
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

- 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 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.

Since yesterday my Apple TV will not load the movies or tv at all. I select it from the home screen, it goes black, tries to load then goes back to the home screen. YouTube and Netflix works though. I've reset the Apple TV and the modem. No change. Any ideas what the problem is?

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!
thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

My imac starts with a white screen, then goes to black with a small white line blinking in the top left corner of the screen. Any ideas? Thanks.
Try starting your iMac with the original DVD that came with the machine then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive.

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!
It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored the device and still no sound.
Try A and B
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
