Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

My iPhone 4S is not recognised by my computer when I try to sync. I am looking to upgrade, is it just easier to purchase a new one, then manually transfer data and information?

My iPhone 4S is not recognised by my computer when I try to sync. I am looking to upgrade, is it just easier to purchase a new one, then manually transfer data and information? I don't want to try syncing and backing up data to just lose it all. As the new one I plan to get is a newer model, I'm thinking it is just better to do it manually, but then I have the issue of syncing the new one to start.

Hello Smeebo,
Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like your iPhone is not recognzied in iTunes when you connect it to back it up, or update the device. I would try the troubleshooting in either of these 2 articles depending on what operating system you have:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

or:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

Documents from Mac added to iCloud do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S

Synopsis: Dcouments added to iCloud through Safari on Mac do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S. New documents created in Pages on iPhone do not show up in iCloud. I expect the doucments to appear on my iPhone soon after uploading them from my Mac to iCloud through Safari, and to appear in iCloud soon after switching to the document listing in Pages and leaving the app. Several hours passed by without transfer happening, and I have waited a day and reconnected to Wi-Fi to wait several more hours. Still nothing shows up either in Pages on iPhone, or in iCloud in Safari on Mac. They are listed with their sizes and extensions (.pages or .pages-tef) in the iPhone Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Pages, though they don't seem selectable from there.
Software versions and Settings:
Mac
Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
Safari 5.1.1
Pages 4.1
System Preferences > iCloud: signed in; everything selected, except Photo Stream (no iPhoto).
Everything seems to work, except Find My Mac is flakey.
iPhone 4S
iOS 5.0
Pages 1.5 (417) [no other iWork apps]
Documents:
the defualt "Getting Started";
a test document with default name "Blank" and content with the word "Testing", shown with upwards arrow in upper right corner; tried renaming to "Just testing", no transfer resulted.
Plus button + offers: Create Document; copy from iTunes, iDisk, WebDAV; no iCloud (probably because it's supose to be auto);
Settings > Pages:
Use iCloud: ON
Restore: OFF; I have tried this, it automatically turns itself off after restarting Pages. No obvious changes result in Pages.
Settings > Wi-Fi: ON, connected to a network; tried several networks around town, as well as at home with a Time Capsule router.
Settings > iCloud:
everything ON, except Photo Stream;
Documents & Data:
Documents & Data: ON
Use Cellular: ON; also tried OFF initially.
Storage & Backup:
Manage Storage > Pages:
three documents in iCloud are listed, one of which I had created before iCloud on iPhone 3GS, and deleted from iPhone 4S after documents added to iCloud from Mac weren't showing up as expected;
their sizes are given;
suffixes are .pages for the two created on Mac, and .pages-tef for the one created on iPhone 3GS (before iCloud);
iCloud Backup: ON; successfully backs up everyday;
Email works, contacts are synced, calendar works, and everything seems fine except access to documents.
Approaches:
Software updates
Updated all software, no further updates available. Please confirm with aforementioned version numbers.
Add and Remove Documents
Used Safari to add two documents to iCloud with its menu for Pages of iCloud's iWork section, one at a time. Documents were originally created in Pages on Mac, and continuously edited since then. Explicitly saved documents (Save a Version on Lion) before uploading. Documents appeared listed in web page without problem.
Have tried deleting a document on iPhone that was originally created with Pages on iPhone 3GS prior iOS 5 as a way to jog the listing on iCloud. Listing on iCloud in Safari on Mac continues to show document deleted from iPhone. [Before deleting document, I had updated iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 and signed into iCloud a couple days before getting iPhone 4S, then immediately used the restore from iCloud feature for the iPhone 4S in the Apple retail store, updated all apps on Mac and iPhone, then deleted the document in Pages on iPhone.]
On iCloud in Safari on Mac: deleted the two documents uploaded from Mac; added the same documents again; edited documents on Mac, then uploaded and chose "Replace documents"; removed documents again; added them again. Never showed up in Pages on iPhone, even after waiting a day.
Have used iTunes to add the same documents to Pages on iPhone. Successfully opened documents in Pages on iPhone through plus button + > Copy from iTunes. Deleted documents from Pages's document listing, though they remain in iTunes section.
Removed documents of same name, though older copies, from Pages in iTunes for the iPhone.
Created a new document with Pages on iPhone, simply added one word "Testing" and then switched to document listing. New document has name "Blank" and an arrow in the upper right corner indicating it will upload next time an internet connection is established. That hasn't happened regardless of being connected to Wi-Fi and cellular for several hours. Next day, reconnected to internet with both Wi-Fi and cellular, the new dcoument "Blank" still is not in iCloud when I visit the site in Safari on Mac, and still has the arrow in the upper right corner in Pages on iPhone.
iPhone 4S Connected to Internet
Connected to Wi-Fi several hours each day, and cellular all day except from about 10pm to 7am when I switch it to Airplane mode. Always connected to Wi-Fi and cellular when attempting to access the documents in Pages on iPhone.
Restart iPhone and Pages
Have double-pressed Home button on iPhone to reveal along the bottom of screen a list of apps currently open, touched and held an icon to reveal the close badge on all icons, and selected the close badge on Pages, waited a few seconds, then started Pages again.
Have held On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears, then powered off iPhone, waited a few seconds, then held button again to start. Have done this with Pages either open or closed, per previous note. Still no change in document listing for Pages: test document still has not gone to iCloud, documents in iCloud still have not shown.
I think the only thing I haven't done is a complete restore.
Question: Can anybody point out what I might have missed or haven't tried that would get the documents from iCloud to Pages and vice versa?
I'm not looking forward to several hours of restoring, but if I must…
TIA

Okay, I'm not sure what finally jogged it. It seems to be finally working.
After downloading any documents I could from iCloud to my Mac, I deleted all the documents from iCloud. I also deleted all documents from Pages on iPhone, except the original "Getting Started" document.
I duplicated the "Getting Started" document (Pages on iPhone) and edited it by moving the butterfly to the left on the same page, then switched to the Documents view. It had the arrow in the upper right corner of "Getting Started Copy", but no progress bar and nothing showed up in iCloud.
Then, I think I went to Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: NO. Went back to Pages and got a dialog in the Documents listing:
     You are not using iCloud
What would you like to do with the
     documents currently on this
                    iPhone?
Keep on My iPhone
Delete from My iPhone
Continue Using iCloud
I tried keeping them, then going back and turning it back on in Pages's settings, then going back to Pages. Finally something different happened: a progress bar on the "Getting Started copy" document. It never seem to finish, and would disappear if the phone went to sleep. I tried the whole sequenece again with same result, and nothing on iCloud.
I then tried Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, and agreed to "Turn Off Documents" and have all documents stored in iCloud deleted, because as far as I could tell there weren't any documents in iCloud at this point anyways. I went back to Pages and the "Getting Started copy" suddenly disappeared.
So, I went back to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: ON, and did the same for Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: ON. Oddly, Pages now tried to download "Getting Started copy" even though it really shouldn't have existed anymore. I tried iCloud in Safari on Mac and saw there now was a document by that name, but when selected it said "Updating…" on it. I deleted it in iCloud, and it disappeared (I think, or I deleted it) in Pages on iPhone.
I gave up and waited a bit, maybe an hour or two.
I made sure all the settings were how they needed to be, noticed no documents in iCloud, and only the original "Getting Started" document in Pages on iPhone. I duplicated that document, and that's when it seemed to actually work. First, the arrow in its upper right corner appeared briefly, then a progress bar appeared on it instead, then the progress bar actually moved and completed. (I think. Some indicator happened. Everything is kind of fuzzy at this point while I'm writing this and juggling a couple other technical tasks.) Then I checked iCloud in Safari on Mac and the document was there. Wow.
So, I immediately tried uploading to iCloud from my Mac the two documents I had been trying, one at a time. Each time the document succeeded in iCloud, it suddenly appeared in Pages on iPhone. In fact, the second document began to appear in the documents listing in Pages on iPhone just before the progress bar in iCloud completed.
I tried opening each one in Pages on iPhone, and iCloud immediately updated each one with a preview and as downloadable. I downloaded them to the Mac and they opened fine. [Admittedly, the Pages version from iCloud of the "Getting Started copy" with the moved butterfly was a little different in Pages on Mac: it had the butterfly on the previous page underneath everything; the PDF version of that document had everything correct.]
Anyways, the document listing between iCloud and Pages on iPhone is working now.
I thinking it might have helped to clear out all the documents in iCloud and deleting all documents in Pages for iPhone. However, be sure to at least email copies from Pages on iPhone first if you don't have any backups. I think it might also have helped to turn off Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, so it'll send that signal to delete the documents in iCloud, even if there's already nothing there. I don't know for sure, but that's probably the way to start from scratch. Oh, and maybe wait an hour or two after that before doing anything again, then turn Documents & Data: ON, and Pages > Use iCloud: ON, and then start by creating a new document in Pages on iPhone.
I'm just glad I didn't have to do a Restore from iTunes. And now that it's working, it's so instant between Pages on iPhone and iCloud! This is seeming like it will definitely be great, now that it's working.

My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

HI,
Your Pic is set if you have Buddy list set up/logged in.
Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
Click on the current Buddy Pic.
You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card and the Login in pic is dragged across.
AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
NOTE
In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)
