Since updating to 5.1, my phone will not turn off or on. Black screen with white apple icon. Any idea how to fix?
I don't know if I have a 4 or 4s.
The latest version is 5.1.1. If you are trying to update to 5.1 that is your problem; it can't be done.
As your phone is "stuck" follow the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
It doesn't matter if you have a 4 or 4S, but you can easily check by entering its serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

My ipad will not turn on; just a black screen with the apple symbol on it.
My nephew was on my IPad then I just frozed on him. So he tried to reset it but it only shows a black screen and the apple symbol on the front. The screen has been going off and on, like if it's trying to reset??? Is this a typical problem with the Ipad? Can the ipad get virus'?
Before taking your iPad to your Apple Store, reboot it: To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will reset. If that doesn't solve your problem, the next step would be connect to iTunes and restore your iPad. If that fails, THEN you take it to Apple.

i was needing someones advice on how to fix my iphone4 when i turn it on it flicks between the home screen and the apple icon
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4528 The flash on my phone will not turn off. How do i manually turn it off?
The flash on my phone will not turn off and is draining the battery. I've already tried turning the flash off in camera mode and resetting the phone to factory settings. Neither worked.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -

ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?
Hi there did you end up getting this resolved? I have the same exact same issue with my Ipad 4 when updating to 8.1.3....frozen on the apple logo. Tried resetting as advised by other users but just goes back to the same logo. Tried connecting to iTunes but device is not picked up at all. Left it over night to run flat hoping charging might kick start something....but when I put on the charger it shows the battery charge icon but won't actually charge it. It's really doin my head in trying to find a fix - cheers Morgan

The light on the back of my phone will not turn off, even when I turn the phone off. Help?
The light on the back of my iphone 4s will not turn off. Even when I turn the phone off the light stays on. Can someone help? I did notice that the camera on the back has a little bit of moisture. (I have 3 small kids).
You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

My Razor Maxx has lost it's swipe keyboard and it's voice to text since the "update"...any ideas how to fix it?
Hello bsbb4!
I'm sorry for any inconvenience in the Swype keyboard beng removed in the Kitkat update. No worries, though! You can simply go to the Google Play Store and there are many Swype keyboards you can use. Most are free and many can be personalized to your style!
I hope this information is helpful.
Thank you,

The Firefox application pops up but will not load . All I get is the spinning ball that I need to force close. Rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas for a fix?Hello BobbyRiley, any luck if you '''trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install ?
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
