Sometimes touches won't register properly..

This is a problem that started happening about a week after I got the phone, but at that time it was barely happening.. I thought it was just a normal every-now-and-then thing. But I met up with some friends who all have iPhones, and I am the only one with a constant issue.
About three or four times a day, I will press a button on my Iphone and the button will darken (as if I pressed it), but when I let go, it goes back to normal and nothing happens. Also I will sometimes press somewhere on the screen and it will register the touch somewhere else on the screen.. this results in sometimes calling the wrong person, and not being able to hang up because it won't register when I press the 'end call' button.
It's a very frustrating problem.. I can only pray that Apple will be willing to fix it. I purchased the phone on release day.. I doubt warranty still applies..

I have the same problem but im pretty sure its common. My old phone (which was replaced for other reasons..) had the same problem. But my new phone does too so its common I hope. As for the other problem, alot of times that happens to me there is some kind of gunk on the screen that messes it up just clean the screen and it should be fine.

My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!, My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!

My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT (Epson EB510)! Instead, colored bars go across the screen against a black background. No matter how much I try to adjust the displays, PPT won't show on it. However, my friend's Macbook Air works fine. She's 10.7.2, I'm 10.7.4, so we're both more or less OS X Lion. What could be wrong? Can I do anything to fix it?

Make sure that your display is not mirrored. Mirroring forces you into "lowest common denominator" screen resolutions that can safely be displayed on BOTH screens, which may not be good enough for the projector.
When you turn off Mirroring, you get Extended Desktop, where the two screens are joined along an edge to form a larger Extended Desktop. To use this, drag a window onto the "other" screen.

My Ipod Touch won't register on Itunes??

I have an Ipod Touch and it won't sync with my new laptop. I have tried restarting Itunes, the computer and my ipod, plugging it into different ports muliple times, and looking on mutiple sites.. I synced my ipod with my old desktop fine but now i have all my music, apps, ect tranfered onto my laptop and Itunes won't register my Ipod. Whenever i plug it in my laptop makes a low dum kind of noise and i can see it when i look at my devices under my computer, although i can only see my pics, but Itunes does't change. All the sites say check under the device column on the lft-hand side, but there isn't one. While I'm asking questions, If i have all the things my old Itunes library has, will all my history (like in conversations and youtube videos) be deleted? Oh and my laptop is a windows 7.

Try looking at the previous posts on the right side of this page under he heading "More Like This".

Touch pad on Zen Touch won't register movement

My Creative Zen Touch's touch pad seems to be broken. It won't register any movements up or down, but if I tap the pad, it will still register it as an "OK" click. Does anyone have any idea what happened? I tried resetting the player, but it didn't change anything.

*Hey,
I have a zen micro so mabye this dosn't apply but mine was the exact same, it was as if the touch pad was totallly frozen. I contacted creative and in 6 days i got a brand new one sent out to me because my old one was screwed! Contact creative and even if they cant replace it they'll prob be able to fix it. Good luck!

My Ipod Touch Won't Charge Properly and My Laptop doesn't recognize it.

Everything was fine until this morning.
I was charging my iPod Touch while my daughter and I were playing with it. Since I have to do some errands, I removed the charger even though the battery was not yet full. I did played a bit, even took some photos. After an hour or so I decided to plug in the charger again. I was waiting for the BEEP sound it does whenever it charges, but it didn't make any beep sound nor the battery display didn't turned green. I tried plugging it on my laptop, and my laptop just gives me a message saying it doesn't recognize the device. So I went to borrow my mom's speaker (she have an iPhone and charges it using a speaker for iPhones/iPods since her own charger is broken), it still doesn't charge but when I play music on my pod, the speaker reads it. So I tried turning off then turning on my iPod, same thing happens, still not charging. So I asked my brother about it, he said I should try pressing the home button and power button for 10 secs til the Apple logo appears while charger is plugged. So I did, then VOILA... the much awaited BEEP sound and the green battery.. IT IS CHARGING!!!... so I left it for like two hours, expecting the battery would be full (waiting for the plug icon on the battery)... but all I got is like a 99% green. So I left it charging for 10 more minutes. Still the same after ten minutes, and gave it another ten minutes, still the same again. So I unplugged the charger and replug it again... I went back to NO BEEP, NO GREEN BATTERY CHARGING SIGN. I did the hold for ten seconds home and power button til the Apple logo appears, there goes again the beep and the green battery. I checked it again... it seems like I need to do the ten seconds home and power button press every time I plug in the charger.
Now I tried it on my laptop, same troubleshoot, but this time, it didn't give a beep sound nor a green battery sign. My laptop still doesn't recognize the device. I dunno what to do. Please help me. It's really frustrating me. I tried looking for answers online but only got the same troubleshooting I did.

Ipod touch won't work properly in my car since i installed ios 4.3.5

I have a kia sorento 2011 wich comes with the usb cord for ipod. Since i installed ios 4.3.5 on my ipod, theres an annoying noise louder than the music. Also, my wall charger doesn't work anymore. Can i do something ?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

I upgraded my os of itunes and now my ipod touch won't work

I upgraded the itunes to the newest os 5.0 and now my ipod touch won't register or even turn on, I get the initial screen that shows you to plug it in to the computer and then nothing happens

i have the same problem. I tried to upgrade this morning to iOS 5.0.1 and now my ipod touch is completely frozen. All I get is a black screen with the Apple logo and an empty download bar. I'm not even able to turn off the ipod and iTunes doesn't detect it anymore. Any suggestion except returning the ipod to Apple Store?

IPod touch won't turn on charge or register on pc help what is wrong how do I fix?

My iPod touch won't turn on or charge or register on the pc, what is wrong and how do. Fix it?

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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch won't sync on laptop but different ipod will sync

I'm having some issues trying to sync my wife's ipod touch. She's had it for a couple years and we haven't had any issues with it before. She purchased a couple songs recently and when we connected the ipod a message came up saying there was a software update available for the ipod so we downloaded the update. After we did that her ipod will charge when we connect it but it won't register that it's connected so we can't sync it. Sometimes an error message will pop up saying something about not being able to connect.
I have searched online and tried everything suggested but nothing works. I downloaded the latest itunes update, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, tried a different usb cable and different usb port and non of that worked. I even hooked up my ipod nano to see if it was a computer issue or ipod issue, my ipod syncd perfectly fine so it's gotta be a problem with her ipod.
I've also restarted the ipod, nothing will get it to sync. The ipod will still work and I've thought about trying to sync it to our my laptop but if I do that then I risk her losing all of her music on her ipod and being stuck with mine if we can't get it to sync with her computer.
I'm all out of ideas, anyone encounter this problem? Also if I bring it into the Apple Store is there anything they can do to try and fix it?
Thank you.

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 the screen blacks out or 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. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow 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."

Can I install an app I bought onto my grandson's iPod touch that is registered in his mother's account

See question. I bought an app store game on my account, but want to install on grandson's iPod touch, which is registered in his mother's app store account. Can I? How?

Yes, you can. The best route would be to download the app directly from the iTunes Store using your account credentials; that way you don't get into any issues of trying to sync with your computer. He won't be able to get updates to the app, though, unless you're willing to give him or his mother your iTunes Store acount ID and password. It would therefore probably be better to gift him the app and have him redeem it through his mother's iTunes Store account so that she can handle any future updates.
Regards.

Cisco SIP Phone 9971 won't register on CME 8.6

Hello,
I'm facing a very strange problem:
a Cisco SIP Phone 9971 won't register on CME 8.6 running on a 2811
I have read all the related-postings to this and other Forum, but I have not been able to solve it.
One of the "potential solutions" was to make sure that the Phone had a Line configured.
But I think that the commands voice register dn and voice register pool are properly configured (see config below)
So frankly, I have no idea what I could be missing.
I'm pasting the Router's config.
I hope somebody is able to point me in the right direction.
Here is the config. Thank you!

So apparently the Phone is actually registered!
However, the Phone screens still shows this message: Phone Not Registered.
So frankly I don't understand what's going on!
I really hope somebody can help. Thanks!

Mac won't boot properly unless in safe mode

Recently I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite. I then started the process of the data encryption.
I don't know what happened, but maybe the encryption failed, because now every time I turn my mac on, it won't boot properly unless it's in safe mode.
Either it will have a black screen with a visible cursor, or just the desktop with no dock or the bar along the top and no icons, or it does boot up properly, but works extremely slowly. Like if I was to press the apple symbol on the top-right of the screen, it would take 5 minutes to actually open it. Nothing works properly.
And so I opened up my system preferences, and discovered that the Encryption is stuck on half-finished. But I can't stop it. If I try to turn encryption off it says I have to wait till it's finished. But it never does, the progress bar never moves.
If I open System Preferences while in Safe Mode, the progress bar for Encryption is grey, and underneath it says "connect to power to continue encryption". But it IS connected to power.
Have I stuffed my Mac? Is there a way to get it working again?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Safari Won't register in Windows as a Browser

It was okay and everybody liked Safari for the internet connection requests. After I installed FireFox Safari lost its status as a browser. I removed Firefox and it still won't register as the main browser. It does not even show up in the Internet Options.
Stuck with every call going to IE8 (yuck) Installed and removed Safari twice since then and with SP3 you can't remove IE8. So I could start from scratch.
XP Home SP3 80G HD 512G Mem on V2107US Compaq Laptop that I use when I can't get to my Mini. Norton Anti everything.

One thing went away and that was the annoying message Windows can't open the URL blah blah blah yet it would open behind the message.
Interesting. Maybe a Windows process or service had crashed for you somewhere in the background? If so, a reboot can sometimes fix that. (Seen similar things happen once or twice with itunes and QuickTime.)
At any rate, it's fixed! Glad you're up and running again.

Macbook Pro won't start properly... keeps restarting without chime!

Macbook Pro won't start properly... keeps restarting without chime!
Late 2007 Macbook pro. OS upgrade worked great for me.
I have had this problem on and off for a month or so. I simply cannot figure out what the issue is. I have tried poerup with and without AC power and with/without battery installed.
Starting in Safe mode does not help.
Trying to start with a disk does not help.
It sort of seems like it might be an internal power issue or GPU issue.
It also feels sort of like a software compatibility issue since my Macbook Pro gets reallly slugish for no apparent reason sometimes and IU have to restart.
I have three different anti-virus programs so I doubt it is a virus issue.
I noticed all this start after I did a Mountain Lion upgrade and then tried to start up VMware Fusion. Fusion seemed to just bog down the computer horribly but did not cause a system crash.
I need to edit an important sequence on Final Cut Pro and don't want it to freeze me out!
Anyone who has had this problem and resolved it please let me know
God bless

Systematically run through this list of fixes.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If it doesnt chine it doesn't mean much, the mute could be on or you installed a anti-chime software.

Sometimes touches won't register properly..
