On/Off isn't working
Hello,
I can't put my Mac Pro off or on when I use the buttons on one of the two 20
inch cinema displays ( alu-version).
USB connections are made and the system settings are correct.
What could be the problem ????
Thank you in advance, Victor
You say the system settings are correct?
I assume you are referring to System Preferences> Displays > Options>
Under which you can set the button to switch the display on and off or sleep and wake the system.
I don't have two cinema displays to test this, but as it usually provides a separate dialogue with any and all options available for each display on each display. I would have thought that the power options are also separate. Make sure you have it set appropriately for each monitor.

The button to turn my screen on isn't working!
I bought my HTC Droid Incredible about 4 months ago. I have dropped it a few times, but nothing very serious. My power button on the top of my phone, which also turns my screen on and off isn't working. When I press it the screen won't turn on, no matter how hard or how many times I press it. I got it to turn on a couple times by putting my nail down into it, but that doesn't work anymore. Now to turn my screen on, I have to plug it into my charger, which is really inconvenient! Someone help please!
I found this forum because I was having the same problem. I saw on a seperate forum someone tried blowing on it with a keyboard cleaner (high air pressure) and it fixed it. Well I didn't have one, so I just blew on the button as hard as I could and its fixed! Must just be an issue with dirt/dust getting in there. Hope this helps anyone having the same problem!

So the left side of my iPhone isn't working at all and I even tried turning it off for 5 minutes about 10 million times but nothing is working. Any suggestions on what to do I need help like ASAP!?
Have you performed a reset? Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons and await restart.

My phone randomly shut off. When I turned it back on it said it needed to restore, to plug it into itunes. When I did, and tried to restore it, it failed with a code 21. I have followed all the instructions, it still isn't working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all that the steps told me to, I've updated everything in my computer. I don't know what else to do. My phone will just show the apple sign and the itunes plug in sign.
Hey Carolefromthelou,
The following link will provide steps on how to best remove all traces of iTunes from your PC and then reinstall it:

I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen - they look light brighter spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom right and a tiny circle at top right. The fading on and off light on area surrounding the screen isn't working anymore either. Has anyone else had similar problems? Any solutions? Thanks!
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I have turned off Siri's access when my phone is locked, but it isn't working!!
I have followed the instructions for turning off Siri when the phone is locked, but it isn't working. I even rebooted...and you can still get Siri to engage! Any ideas??
I'm having the same problem after I moved my iPhoto Library over to an external harddrive (and then tried to access it on separate occasions from different machines). I also found that my iPhoto had "locked" these directories somehow, and I checked the "Get Info" details: sure enough, one of the things that should have said "Read and Write", didn't.
But when I tried to change those permissions (including the "Apply to enclosed items"), it gave me this error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
Seems that I can't give more permissions because I don't have enough permissions to do that! Do I have to move the owners to "System" from my own account "b" or what?
(My poor "photos to be iphoto'd" directory is filling up quickly while waiting for iPhoto to be fixed.) Thanks! -
I am being told that "Back to Mac" isn't working because NAT Port Mapping is turned off on my router. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

See if your Mac will boot from the install DVD.
Then uninstall Internet Cleanup.

If my on/off button isn't working, can I go into the apple store to get a free phone?
I have an iphone 4. My on/off button isn't working, and my phone turns off and on by itself, and it also is making me connect to itunes to restore itself every 10 minutes. If go into the apple store, can I get a free phone?
No. See

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

You need to get the on/off button repaired.
You can try connecting the iPhone to a power source which should power the iPhone on. -
My touchscreen on my 4s isn't working. I can't "slide to unlock" and when I try to turn my phone off I can't "slide to turn off". HELP!!
I am making the assumption - based on the "tags" in your description - that you do not have sounds in apps, games and things like that - but you can hear sound when you use the music app. ......
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

When you add a WiFi you can't get into any websites??? But if you turn WiFi off you can access websites?
You can access websites without WiFi? Do you have a 3G/4G iPad?
