"SLIDER HINGE" loose and will not lock!

I have had my Palm Pre2 since April 1, 2011 and my slide mechanism will lock in place so the screen slides back and forth freely which also seems to be causing software issues.
I had an issue with my Palm Pre Plus where the screen wiggled side to side.
I have been informed that this issue is not covered under the "Warranty".
Has anyone had this issue?

Seriously, Anthony. You haven't known of this issue with the Palm phones?
I had a Palm Pre Plus that had no such problem but over the time I had the phone I read of this issue many times.
My phone was replaced under warranty after I'd had it for a year or so because of a defective part in the plugin port for earphones.
The replacement phone they sent me has a sloppy slider. Wiggles from side to side.
If you've never encountered this issue can you ask around and find out what other folks in Tech Support may know about this problem. It's sad that the phones they sell under a 'Two Year Contract' don't last for two years.
Thanks for your help.

Ipod Touch Gen 2 connection socket is loose and will not charge or sync.

Hello MacForum!
(Skip to the bolded part near the bottom for a summary)
I bought an 8 gig, 2G Ipod Touch a little under a year ago off of ebay (to save costs, as I was buying one for my girlfriend as well). Both were seemingly brand new, the first one I received was sealed from the factory. I set that one aside for my girlfriend. The second one I received was open but in good condition.
It had clearly been preowned, but as I said it was in good condition apart from some ware on the usb cord.
Anyway, fast forward a few months. I am on vacation and my Ipod touch suddenly wont charge. I plug it in, nothing. So I go to radio shack and get one of those go chargers with an ipod touch connector (which are total pieces of crap by the way) and that wouldn't charge it either. So after the vacation we get home and I decide to try my girlfriend's usb cord out, and that doesn't do anything either. So I jiggled it around and it would connect then immediately disconnect, or it would connect but it wouldn't charge, only showing the little plug symbol where the lightning bolt would be.
So I decided to try my cord again. Same stuff, jiggling makes it work, but it instantly disconnects or goes into that plug mode or what ever (like it's finished charging). It eventually died and I forgot about it and went on happily using my old Ipod Nano Gen 3. Now, months later I am in need of my Ipod touch (I left my nano at my girlfriend's house), so I dig it out, and the usb cord and plug it into my Mac and it's the same stuff pretty much, but I can old charge it if I push the cord's jack up in the Ipod touch's port. I've been wrapping the cord around it longways really tight to try and get it to charge, which is putting more ware on the cord. But it's the only way I can get it to sync or charge...Not only this but the cord doesn't even snap it like other ipod (which is really dumb design in my opinion) so it falls out if I lay it down without wrapping it.
*So, my Ipod Touch's connection port is loose.* The warranty is long gone. Fixing the port via apple will cost $133 dollars that I don't have to spend on it (Im in college).
I've searched high and low on the internet and found but two other person that had this issue, each not getting much feedback.
What are my options? Is there an easy fix? What should I do?

There are other repair companies for the touch/iPhone. Google them, you might find a lower price.

Ipad 2 locked up when updating iOS 8.1.3 today and will not reset or even turn off

went to update iPad 2 from iOS 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 and it froze while updating. Then error it could not update because of problem. But it is locked on screen with cord to iTunes and will not reset or turn off. Can't get to screen to do reset in iTunes or anything. help

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
Thanks for your time and expertise,
T.

You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
4 - My contact details
/Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.
Apple has an interesting page at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481
I hope this helps.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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.

The search function in the itunes store does not work. It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search. Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing. Re-installing itunes has not helped.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

Yeah, and it didn't work.
I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything. When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
The ipad's clock has also stopped.
eek

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.
