My Touch ID won't work at all on iOS 7.1.1

Last night, my Touch ID stopped working. I placed my finger on the sensor and nothing happened. I turned off the phone a few times and nothing happened. I tried deleting the fingerprints and making new ones and the sensor didn't even recognize the print to scan it.
Literally 30 minutes later, after I set a Genius Bar appt., it started working again, the scanner recognized my print to make new ones.
And now tonight, (the SAME EXACT time as last night) I am encountering the same problem

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- 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.

  • IPod Touch 2g won't work at all

    Hey guys,
    I was recently on holiday and on the second day, my iPod went black. I couldn't switch it on and any attempts to charge it, didn't work. I wasn't too bothered because I only bought a cheap car adapter to charge it with, so I thought maybe that was the issue.
    However, since returning, I still cannot get anything to work. I have tried charging it on my PC using the original cable. I've used a new cable I bought and tried a mains adapter, yet nothing has worked. The iPod isn't working at all.
    I've been holding down the home and power button for 10+ seconds, to no avail. No matter how many times I've tried to switch it on, I get absolutely no response.
    Before this more permanent problem, I did have an issue with the power button itself, where it was sticking. It had done this in the past though, but on this day, it was sticking more than usual, randomly asking me if I wanted to turn the iPod off completely.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    Yeah, I've looked around the internet and this doesn't seem uncommon. Surely there is some advice?
    It's incredibly frustrating, to say the least.

    Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
    The trick is finding what data.
    By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
    Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
    Back up the system first of course,
    Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

    IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
    It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
    All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

    I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

  • IPod touch 3G won't work after falling in water? Help!

    Ok it's been 3 months since my iPod touch fell in the...toilet. I immediately put it in rice after pushing all the buttons. It was only in the water for a second. When I picked it up the screen was dim, flickering, then when black. I wiped it off and put it in rice. I left it in rice for about four days. I finally plugged it up to the charger and after 20 minutes it came on. It told me I needed to plug it up to iTunes so I did. I restored it and when it was restored I tried to slide the bar at the bottom of the screen but it would never register. So I let it die and when I charged it again it wanted me to restore it AGAIN! I've restored it about five times!! Each time the touch screen won't work and it doesn't hold a charge very well. Also every time it does it wants me to restore it. What's wrong with it and how can I fix it? Oh and the home button doesn't work.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

    Hi there,
    I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
    I've done the following, but it still won't work:
    1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
    2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
    3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
    4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
    The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
    Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
    Best Regards,
    A new Walcom user in desperate

    I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try.  Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
    Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
    Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
    http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    Did you use Barbara's fix?
    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?

  • I cannot use my ipad2 because the touch screen doesn't work at all. First I cannot unlock it or do anything in the screen!!!! Why?

    I cannot use my ipad2 because the touch screen doesn't work at all. First I cannot unlock it or do anything in the screen!!!! Why?

    Have you tried a reset To see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My touch screen is not working at all and I've tried numerous times to turn it off and on but with no success to getting the touch screen to work again.  Any suggestions to get it back working?

    My touch scree will not work at all.  It just stopped one day and has not worked since.  I've tried numerous times to restart it but with no success at all.  The only tning I haven't tried is resetting it back to it's original setting when I bought it 2 years ago>  Any suggestions??

    When resetting the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem, the problem is likely due to a a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

  • Color replacement tool won't work at all

    Hi, I am using photoshop CS3 in 10.6.2. The color replacement tool is not a tool I have much experience with, but am wondering why it won't work at all. I have reset the tool to its default preferences and tried using it on multiple documents and with different users and it just won't work. Nothing happens at all. I have watched some tutorials on using the tool and it looks easy enough and quite straight forward to use. I have tried every setting for the tool and still nothing happens. I am working on the top layer and have not selected anything. I have tried merging all the layers onto one layer incase the tool wasn't working because it would only replace the color of what is on a layer.
    Thanks for your help.

    The mode is color. The sampling is continuous and the limits are contiguous. These are the default settings for the tool.
    I am noticing that the tool does work a little. I created a new document with 3 layers. The bottom layer is a white background. The middle layer has a blue square on it and the top layer is blank.
    I notice that the color replacement tool won't work on the white background layer or the top blank layer, but only works on the middle layer. Does the tool only work on  the same layer that has a color you are trying to replace?
    When I hit the command option shift  E keys to merge the layers into a copy, the tool only worked on the part of that layer that had the rectangle drawn on it and ignored the white part of the image.

  • Sync with .mac never seemed to work great, now won't work at all

    sync never seemed to work that well for me, now it won't work at all. I get the following message now:
    .Mac Sync Error
    A failure occurred while synchronizing the .Mac Sync Client.
    I've tried reseting all the .mac stuff, but nothing seems to work now. Its pretty frustrating. Plus, while mac support in the store and over the phone is superb, .mac support online is a joke. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

    With the exception of a framework reset, iSync no longer has anything to do with .Mac synchronization, which is instead handled exclusively by .Mac Sync.
    I would start with a search of this forum for the error messages you describe:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    Some of the same users who answer questions here regarding iSync, also do that there for users of .Mac Sync.
