So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?

So I got is iPad as a gift and the same issues I had with my iPhone 4S is also happening with my iPad. Will Apple cover the problem as it lies within there updates or something. All I know I have taken perfect care of both products and volume is distorted. Can't listen to music, I get booted off the web all the time, I can't even chat with Apple icare it won't work and no service shows on top left corner. What is wrong with Apple products? I'm thinking it's time to switch! I've had to change my iPhone twice now......first time for mic not working and then camera shutter kept sticking. Same on my iPad........ I don't want to pay to get this fixed as it's not my fault this is happening...... It's software apparently?

This really is starting to feel like a hardware issue than a software one.
Especially if hearing noises when you connecting up your iPad for charging.
Something happened to your iPad that has nothing to do with a software update.
This is why I recommend that
I can't help you any farther.
It sounds as if you really need to take this iPad in for a repair.
Since you are reluctant to do this, there is nothing more I can suggest to you.
Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.

Getting green line/veins on my ipad display. Unit has never been dropped and is out of warranty. Any ideas?

Getting these annoying green veins on my screen. Ipad has never been dropped. Any suggestions on what to do?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

HT1391 Recently my iPod touch 4th gen. was stolen. I have had it for two years, so I don't have a warranty on it anymore. I reported it to the police, but what will apple do? This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one.

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

Nothing... why would they do anything?
Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

When I am abroad (living in Norway) the phone only temporarily connects to a network. Most of the time is says "no service" in top left corner...I have tried to turn it on/off...with and without sim installed...roaming makes no diff. Can anyone help me?

You're welcome.
If she has full reception and connection with the same cell phone carrier where you don't - with you both using a SIM card provided by the same carrier while in Norway with an unlocked iPhone, then make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to have a diagnostic test run on your iPhone.
In the interim, I would contact this cell phone carrier in Norway to ensure your iPhone is provisioned properly. They can run a reset for your account that will require powering your iPhone off, so call them with your wife's iPhone for this.

Thanks so much. I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question. It worked perfectly. I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer. I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up. Still looking for the resolution to this.

My "4" won't turn on, won't charge when connected to charger or computer. I've tried to reboot and it still doesn't turn on, its never been dropped or had water damage. My warranty ran out on feb. 23, help!

Hello Breejumpp,
Try Reset ( No Data will be lost )
Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.

I had a 3rd Gen iPad. I did not get the pictures off of it. They are all in iCloud, I can not find out for the life of me how to get them off of iCloud without the iPad that I do not have anymore, I sold it. Any help would be epic. Thank you in advance!

I have an iPhone 5 now that is also in my iCloud, yet it won't let me access the iPad iCloud.
I would love to have all the pictures from the iPad iCloud backup.

Really?? No one knows??
This is an Apple support forum is it not?
If anyone can at least point me in the right direction that would be great!!

Firefox will not open. I have used it for two years.

For 2 years, until yesterday, Firefox worked well. I opened it, using the "Internet" button on the keyboard, or from the start menu. Now, nothing responds. Yesterday, when Mozilla was running, the top part of the screen display disappeared. The "search" message filled the whole screen. I tried clicking on Mozilla in the Start tableau, and the "All Programs" tableau. Nothing. According to the Control Panel, Mozilla, all 26.97 megabytes, is still there.

For some things you can try see [[Firefox will not start]].
I would start by seeing if a new profile works. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
If the new profile does work, you can transfer selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. I would not copy preferences or extensions, instead re-install the extensions. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

I just upgraded to 4 and I get messages to look at all the new stuff, and/or resart previous session. I just want my old Firefox back. How do I do this?

One of the messages I get says "Now that you've got Firefox 4, learn about all the cool things you can do with your new browser" There are several other little messages that also show up plus the "restart previous session" box. I just want a clean firefox home page to open when I want to use my browser. If I can't get this to stop I'll go back to explorer.

You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Software iOs7 is upgraded in my iPhone 4s and I get all App features dull and gloomy. So Please help me how I can remove this iOs7 and I get back original features from all the Apps as I used to get previously. Thanks.

In my iPhone 4s iOs7 is installed by mistake and I get all features from the Apps dull and gloomy so please help me to remove this iOs7 and install original software so that get all bright and better features from all the Apps. Thanks

You can't downgrad the OS on your iPhone. It's not suported by Apple.
One way to help make the icons stand out a bit more is to use a solid, dark background image.

My Ipad of only 21 months has stopped working. It's dead as confirmed by my local apple store. It has not been dropped nor abused. Apple don't seem interested and have yet to respond to a letter. Any suggestions welcome!

For Christmas 2012 my son bought me my first iPad when up in Scotland on business. So from 25th December until last Tuesday evening, September 3rd, this had worked fine and was my pride and joy. It's an amazing piece of technology.
Imagine my horror and annoyance when I went to use it on the Tuesday evening only to find that it would not start up. All the usual buttons were pressed and I plugged it in to a power source then into iTunes and saw no no change.
On Wednesday morning I went into the Apple shop in Harrogate, where JCL (salesman) tried all of the same things as I had and declared that he had never seen this happen to an iPad! My only course of action was to send it back to Apple who would tell me it's dead and advise me to buy a new one. [This, as it is welded together and they have no means of repairing them!!] So what can I do? I had to buy a new one, which cost me £399.
Is this good value for money under the Sale of Goods Act? An iPad should surely last more than 20 months? The device has never been dropped and is in very good condition other than it does not work.
I would appreciate any views on this.
I have written to Apple and they have yet to respond (15 days ago)

There is No overriding EU law on this however there is a directive 1999/44/EC and sets out a general framework on harmonizing complaints and settlement of defects and resulting breaches in contract.
Under UK law these are the relevant regulations
Sale of Goods Act 1979
Supply of Goods (Implied Terms) Act 1973
Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982
The Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002
These are considered to be in compliance with the directive in most respects and in some respects exceed the minimum directive definitions.
The Directive itself adds very little and in some ways actually reduces the consumer (buyers) rights compared to UK laws and regulations.
The directive sets a maximum period of just two years for which the seller may be held responsible for repairing/replacing pre-existing faults and a period of just two months from identifying the fault and reporting it to the seller.
As stated above UK law allows a period of 5 years in Scotland and 6 years in the UK and doesn’t have a defined period of identification or reporting of that pre-existing fault
The UK law also incorporates a minimum period of 6 months of unlimited warranty (Extended to 12 month by most sellers including Apple).
There is NO provision for unlimited warranty within the EU directive, and all faults are assumed to be pre-existing.
Pre-existing is very important in all these claims as in UK law it fixes the timeline of the fault using the three definitions in the previous post as being present at the start of the contract (Time of purchase)
Hence the need for an expert report !

Since updating the software on my iPhone 3gs it has developed the so called "white screen of death". The phone has not been dropped or damaged in anyway, the problem only developed after software upgrade. Rung apple and they were less than helpful

since updating my iphone 3gs software it has developed the so called "white screen of death" this happened immediately after software install. It has never been dropped or damaged. I have tried the solution which seems to pop up most of holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds but this hasnt helped at all. Tried ringing apple, who were less than helpful and disinterested as the phone is out of warranty. I am hoping there is a solution which doesnt mean shelling out for a new phone! any ideas?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

- First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try downloading/installing a new app
- Restore from backup
- Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod. this is last result since you will lose app data.

So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?
