Screen acts like it is locked
Calls ring though. Texts show up on the screen, reminders come through on the screen but it will not respond to a swipe to unlock it. Ideas anyone?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of those.

I just received a iPod Touch 5th generation for xmas and it acts like it is locked, when you slide the slider it says unlock button and nothing happens. Can't slide the power off either. It tells you the time, unlock button, power off button but nothing happens. Voice just tells you the unlock button, time, poweroff button.
Please help also itunes says I need to enter on iPod the passcode to reset to factory. I can't get it open to enter passcode, slider doesn't work. It is one day old and this happen xmas afternoon. PLEASE Help someoneTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- 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.

CS2 uninstall, mac desktop screen acting like photoshop image
Recently my creative suite on my mac stopped updating showing an error, so each time now when updates arrive I cannot update. Now my 20" intel macs desktop image acts like a photoshop image?
The desktop starts up and then expands beyond the screen, by nearly 2", when the cursor is moved accross the screen the desktop image moves too, it is making its way to see the unseen edge which appears as cursor moves towards that edge, (eg from centre move cursor to right screen image moves left). This is quite a sea-sick effect. Also if you click and drag on the desktop it forms a box, like the one in photoshop. Something seems corrupted. I want to uninstall the creative suite then reinstall (this should help the updates) but I do not know if the screen on my mac will correct.
I looked up how to uninstall and the first thing is to double click on the Activity Monitor in Utilities and select AHCRemind.
I double click on the Activity Monitor and the window I get up does not show AHCRemind? I cannot proceed. Can anyone help, has anyone had the same problem with the desktop?I have managed to cure the screen moving but I still need to uninstall CS2 (creative suite 2) and reinstall. I have an intel mac 10.4 os running tiger. As I said before I cannot find the 1st step on the instruction, perhaps the instruction is pre tiger, or Leopard system? Please help.

Pressing screen acts like home button
Pressing anywhere on my screen acts as if I've pressed my home button. You do have to press down (touching the screen doesn't do it, you need to press harder).
It constantly wakes up in my pocket and I regularly have dozens of screenshots of my lock screen in my photo gallery.
I've done a total restore for both 6.0 and 6.1. Is my 4s dying a horrible death?The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...First from Backup...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Itunes 8 acting like a virus on vista - not blue screen
Hey, I just downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes onto my windows vista, and it caused the computer to act weird like it had a virus or something, now whenever I try to delete it from the computer it tells me I "don't have permission to do that" like itunes has locked itself into the computer.. Also often when I right click on a file a random message pops up and says that windows is searching for a solution for the problem, then it takes me back to the desktop and closes any programs I have open.. This is not the blue screen so many people have reported, it's just screwing up my computer and has locked itself in so it can't be deleted
My Library files are still on the C drive as the instructions said to leave them there
While it is implied that I can move ITunes music files off my C drive to make more space
Quote: "If your hard drive is nearly full after loading all your music and other media into iTunes, or if you just want to move all those music and media files to another hard drive on your system, here's a way to make the move while retaining all your playlists, ratings, and play history."
In fact I now see that ITunes Help seems to suggest something different. I got here by pressing the question mark while in the pop up box for "Edit, Preferences, Advanced"
Quote:
"By default, songs and other files you import into iTunes are placed here:
My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
Hide
To change the default location of imported files:
Choose Edit > Preferences, and click Advanced.
Click Change and select a new location for your files.
From now on, new songs and other items you import are stored in the new location. Songs you’ve already imported stay in their current location. (emphasis mine)
To restore the iTunes Media folder as the default storage location, click Reset (in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)." -

It said it had like 53% or more physical memory being used but I didn't have any applications running at all. What could be the problem.Samuel32_826,
If you have a virus you can run a system recovery to remove the virus.
The system recovery will remove everything on your computer including the virus and put the system back to day one. Just like when you opened it out of the box.
Here is a link that will walk you through the steps of the recovery.
Let me know how everything goes. -
I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?
Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!

GetuDave,
I will +1 Pixelan's products. They are great, simple, and have about the best support that I know of. When you explore, say Pixelan's SpiceMaster, dig deeply. Things appear rather mundane, on the surface, but there is so very much power lurking, just below the surface. I could almost imagine a 1000 page manual to cover every possible aspect of that program... Every time that I use it, I learn something new, and wonderful.
Good luck,

After applying update my apple tv2 will randomly go to a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. When it gets back to normal after a few seconds it acts like the video never stopped since its farther along in the timeline. This happens with all video content wether its from Netflix or streaming from my iTunes library
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. If that doesn't help try using another HDMI cable.
