  • Reinstalled my router and now Airport has gone inactive and will not reconnect

    Reinstalled my Linksys router and now Airport has gone inactive and will not reconnect. What am doing wrong?

    How did you reinstall the router? Do you mean updated the firmware on the router?  Did you change the router settings and if so, what changes did you make?  Did you make associated changes in the AirPort card in your iMac?

  • My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again?

    My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again. What do I do to fix this?

    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.  You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.

  • IPhone 5c's screen has gone black and will not come on.  When I plug it in it buzzes every 2 seconds.

    My iPhone 5c screen has gone completely black, i can't turn it on at all. I can't even reset the phone. However when i plug it into my laptop every couple of seconds it buzzes.
    Is there any way i can fix this? Or will i have to go into the Apple store and request for a new phone. I also haven't had the phone for a year yet

  • My 4S phone has completely frozen and will not even shut down.

    I was trying to open a video link, and now I just have a black screen with the spinning white circle (which is not spinning). I have tried both pressing and holding the power button to try and force a shut down (nothing happened) and pressing and holding the power and home keys to reset (still nothing).

    Force your device into rebooting by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears, then release.  Wait for your lock screen to appear.

  • My iphone has gone dead and now not charging.

    I had it on charge at about 12 today took it of and went dead about an hour ago. Now its not charging at all. I have tried 2 diffrent usb cables into the wall plus the computer. I have only had it since July last year.

    "Debris pocket"?  I said "check for pocket debris" as in debris /dirt / fluff from whatever pocket you might carry the phone in.  A piece of dirt in the phone's docking port can easily prevent a good connection being made with the charging cable.

  • Address Book 'Frozen' and Will Not Open

    My Address Book has completely frozen and will not open. Whenever I try to open the application, it just 'hangs' there, without actually opening. It was working fine only a few hours ago.
    I've tried the following:
    *Restarting my MacBook 3 times
    *Restoring Address Book from Time Machine
    *Deleting Address Book and reinstalling from the Leopard Installer disk
    Nevertheless, Address Book will not open. Any suggestions?

    I fixed the problem! I'm including the solution here, in case anyone else has the same problem.
    It appears that my Smart Groups somehow caused my Address Book to freeze up. Unfortunately, you can't delete your Smart Groups while the application is open. Instead, try this:
    1.) Close down Address Book
    2.) Go to Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor
    3.) Enter the following into Script Editor, replacing NAME OF SMART GROUP with the actual name:
    tell application "Address Book"
    delete group "NAME OF SMART GROUP"
    end tell
    4.) Click "Run."
    5.) Reopen Address Book. This should fix the problem. At least it did for me.

    Hi WINDSOR154!
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

    Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
    are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
    they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
    different causes and also different cures.
    With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
    most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
    One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
    from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
    or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
    Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
    Thanks.
    Good luck & happy computing!
