Ng and connecting to wifi fine. Settings option will not load, keeps turning straight back off. any ideas

I can't type into any search engines or log in boxes on my ipod touch. This happened yesterday and was working fine til then. The wifi is connected and news apps are uploading. Can read them fine but can't log into facebook or type into the search engines on google and app store. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help Elitegate...have worked it out. I double clicked the home button twice, then held down the settings app icon until the "minus" symbol appeared then closed it. did the same for the other apps that werent accepting typing. then clicked the home button again and re tried. This has worked!

  • HT4847 My iPad has the message, "iCloud backup - hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when the iPad is plugged in and connected to WiFi. The device will not let me click "ok" it is frozen and will not turn off allow access to other functions

    My iPad is locked up, the message "iCloud backup hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks, needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi." It is unresponsive to the "ok" command to move forward with the backup.  It is stuck.  

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Settings-Voice-Over- Not letting me turn it back off...

    I was messing around with my setting and I turned on voice-over. Once I was done with it, I tried to turn it off, but it wouldn't let me scroll down. I don't know what to do and I tried resetting it, but that won't work either.

    The easiest way is to connect to iTunes. In the Summary pane, click on the "Configure Universal Access..." button. You can turn off VoiceOver there.
    When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have different effects. You can read about these here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#accessibility.voiceover-gestures

  • I have 2  iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins.

    I have 2  iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins. I have tried about ten different "fixes" none work.. Reboot, forget wifi, etc.
    Unplugged wifi on and on for about an hour.
    I have compared settings between the two and cannot see any difference.
    Both iPads worked fine last week. One made a trip to MI  and used cellular access just fine. Now that one still uses cellular OK, but refuses to "join" the wifi.
    Too bad I can't attach a picture.
    Anyone care to offer a unique workable solution I have not tried?
    Thanks

    Have you tried renewing the lease in the WiFi settings? Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Tap the blue arrow>Renew Lease. If you haven't tried that - try it first before reading the information about restoring the iOS software.
    Follow the instructions in here. If you are unsure about anything - do not proceed. Post back with questions first.

    Make sure that you transfer all purchases, backup the iPad and sync with iTunes first. When you restore to factory settings, iTunes should ask if you want to backup first, but it will not hurt to initiate a backup on your won before you even start the restore process.

  • A box saying iCloud Backup 'This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi' - this box will not go away and so I can't use the iPad at all?

    press and hold top power button and home button in front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple, for it to reset.
    and make sure your initiating an icloud backup or it will come up again.
    1. be connected to wi fi
    2. be plugged in to power source
    3. turn screen off
    go to settings>icloud>storage and backup>backup now.

    Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.

    You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

  • I live in Mexico and will travel to the US. If I disable G3 and data itinerancy (and connect in wi-fi public zones), will not be charged by my local company TELCEL?

    I have an iphone 4, live in Mexico and will travel to the US. If I disable G3 and data itinerancy (and get connected in wi-fi public zones), will not be charged by my local company TELCEL?

    If you only use WiFi, you will not be charged by your carrier. Make sure that: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off & Data Roaming>Off. You could also put your phone in Airplane Mode. In Airplane Mode you can go back into settings & turn WiFi on.

  • Firefow will not open at all on one computer and on the other it opens but will not load. I just added a new wireless router, could this have anything to do with it, it had been working fine up until I installed it Tuesday night. Internet explorer won't

    I installed a new wireless router on Tues. (May4) up until that time I had no problems using Firefox. Now I cannot get it to open on one computer, and the other it will open but will not load. Wondering if it has anything to do with the router, my provider or our computers. Again, it had been working fine. I am also unable to open interent explorer now on either computer.

    Sounds like a problem with the router installation/configuration (likely) or a DOA router (very unlikely).
    Visit the forums for the router manufacturer (i.e., linksys, d-link, etc.) and ask for assistance there. There is probably a link to help listed in the router manual.

  • I converted a heap of music using 'switch', when i try and add this music to library iTunes will not load it??

    Unless the MUST be AAC, try FreeWMAtoMP3Changer: http://www.wma-mp3.com/free-wma-to-mp3-converter/
    The ONLY caveat with it is: You CAN'T drag & drop files on it to open them. You MUST use the browse function to select them. If you drag and drop, it multiplies the output files. A 10 track album will produce 45 converted files.

  • HT1937 why when im not connected to wifi my iphone 4 will not let me facetime?

    When i try and facetime out side of my wifi area it will not let me connected using 3g

    Ask your cell carrier if they allow and support Facetime over their cell networks. Not all carriers do. If they do, check Settings/Cellular Data and see if "Use Cellular Data for Facetime" is turned on. If not, turn it on.
    Regards.

  • In hotel w/wireless network.  ATV finds network, but does not ask me for password, so can't communicate through network.  MacBook Air, iPad and 2 iPhones connected to hotel wireless, but ATV does not ask me for the password.  Any ideas?

    I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel.  Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password.  I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices.  ATV did not ask me for a password.  When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network.  It can't set date and time.  When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
    Any ideas on how to connect to this network?

    I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.

  • HT4623 i have restored my ipad and now it will not activate......any ideas

    I have restored my ipad trying to update to the latest version and now it will not activate....... can anyone suggest any thing

    Hi Griff W, Thank you for your response. I had found that article and did everything. I am on my MacBook Pro right now and this device, as well as my phone, smart TV, the Wii and Xbox are all reading our wi-fi connection (and I can see about half dozen neighboring networks). The issue with the iPad is that no list appears to choose from, much less forget and resign in. It worked fine before the update to iOS 5.1.1. I have tried everything I have read and could think about and come up with the "choose a network" with the thinking wheel just spinning and no list ever appears.

  • HT201412 iphone 4 died and will not charge to turn it back on

    My iPhone4S died earlier today and I have been trying to charge it for quite some time now, but it wont seem to charge up.  Nothing happens whenever I press the button on the face of the phone and when I press the on/off button on the top of the phone, the battery symbol appears on the screen, but only with three faint lines of red on the battery symbol blinking and then the screen goes black again.  Can someone please helpme with this problem?  My phone is not old at all, I have only been having it less than a year.  Thanks.

    My iPhone 4S did the same thing. I was using it, it showed the low battery warning, I used it a little longer, and it shut down in the normal way. I plugged it in for several hours to recharge, and it didn't charge at all. When I unplugged it from the charger, the screen showed a battery symbol with three red lines in the bottom of the battery. Now it also showed the charger connector symbol and a lightening bolt and then screen went to black. The charger was not warm, but the charger worked on my iPad. Still I tried a new charger cord and many outlets, because I was on vacation and desperately needed the iPhone.
    In the month before this happened, several times my iPhone 4S showed I had 1% battery life after it was charged and had just showed a higher percentage like 40%. I could continue using it as if it were 40% charged. I read several Apple discussions, finding others had had this issue, but there seemed to be no consensus on what caused it or how it could be corrected. The problem didn't happen often or consistently, so I continued to use iPhone as usual.
    After the three red lines appeared, I tried solutions as follows: I tried turning the phone off. It didn't seem to work. I tried holding down the power and Home buttons simultaneously. Nothing happened. I tried turning it on. No change.
    I don't want to Restore my iPhone, because two days of vacation photos are on it but aren't in iCloud. We had very weak wifi in the hotel, although my first day's photos made it to iCloud. (I should have been paying more attention to this! Oops.)
    Has anyone resolved this issue? I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.1, but had the 1% issue before and after the upgrade. Thanks.
