The lower row of my iphone does not respond to tapping. i.e. texting; the space bar, return and number tabs and for phone; emergency, 0, and delete tabs.
I've updated my phone, turned it off and on, charged it. Nothing. Help!
Sounds like a hardware problem. When you updated, that would have wiped the device and installed the latest iOS, thus pretty much eliminating a software issue. You could try to restore as new, i.e. without your backup and see if it works factory fresh. If still a problem, it's most likely a hardware issue.

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar
HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

My keyboard does not type the letter p or the number 0 in portrait/vertical position. And when I use the horizontal keyboard from time to time all functions on the bottom row do not work at all like the space bar, return key, etc. It has become a bit of a nuisance. I have just installed the 7.1 update but was having this issue prior. I have also had the glass replaced (not by apple) about a year ago with no issues until now. Is there anything I can do? I have not reset all settings. But I really don't want to have to do that because I doubt it will help.
UPDATE
Called HTC... No help, suggested factory reset ,which I didn't mind as I have no data on the phone yet, after reset must call *228 to reprogram. Did not work. Next suggestion, download a keyboard app, the free ones are crap. Why should I have to pay extra to make the device usable? I thought a working keyboard was apart of the initial $200.
On my own I tried *228 option 2 which is some sort of roaming update. That did not work either. -

Recently, the bottom edge of the touch screen on my iPhone stopped responding to touch. I have gone through all of your hints and tips in the service information pages to see if there was a DIY solution. The little 'dots' which indicate water damage are white. I checked those in case someone else had caused water damage to my phone, as I do not live alone. The home button works fine, the non-functioning area of the screen prevents me from using all functions for which the screen will not revolve to the side when the phone is tipped. Texting is a nightmare, as I have to keep turning the phone to access certain alphnumeric icons on the keyboard. Is this a common problem with the iPhone 4? Is is expensive to repair?
Before you claim the hardware failed, try basic troubleshooting as described in the User's Guide of reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
If none of these resolve the issue, Apple offers and Out of Warranty replacement for $149US. -
My iphone does not respond after upgrading the operating system
upgrade the operating system to 7.0.2 and iphone 5 will not start, can you help please
It reads as though you've managed to break your iPhone. You should make an appointment with an Apple Genius to discuss. If need be, Apple will sell you a refurbished handset for about $200 + tax.

There are times when I tap the green phone icon to make a call and it doesn't respond or do anything. This has also happened when playing "Words with Friends" when I press the "play" button. I don't seem to have this issue with anything else on my phone. Any suggestions?

My iPhone does not respond anymore.
The screen is black and in the middle is a white circle made up of white lines. Similar to sending an email.
I can not turn it off or conect it to my PC Problem code: 0XE8000065
The on/off button does not work either.
Is there anything I can do??Cheers. After holding it down for the 30 seconds it turned off. Afterwards it started just like before and I didn't lose any apps or pictures......which was good as I'd just taken 100 pictures of my wedding on Saturday.
Thanks once again. -
Why does the camera not respond to tapping?
I have used UITapGestureRecognizer so that an instance of UIImageView will respond to tapping when applied to images. However, so far, the camera does not respond to anything I try in this regard.
Could it be that the camera view does not respond to tapping?
Thanks.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) -

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks
Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

How do i delete songs from my iphone when they don't show up in itunes? Swiping across the song on the iphone does not give me a delete button.
Hello audreywisc,
Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?
To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTED.....
Hello. I bought on Dec. 17th 2007 at Orange shop in Beausoleil (south France) an iPhone with the option of unlocking the Sim (100 Euro plus). I followed all instructions. Everything was perfect, on Dec. 24th I was able to unlock the iPhone and used with Orange sim, MonacoTelecom sim and Vodafone sim. BUT the iPhone had a problem: when in sleep mode it did't received calls. So Afer 24 hours I stopped to use, UNSAFE. After Christmas holidays I called Apple assistance, they send me UPS and I returned iPhone to Apple (Jan. 4th 2008). I received a NEW iPhone on Jan. 8th 2008, VERY RUSH. Perfect service, I thought (...making terrible error...). The iPhone was LOCKED and I wasn't able to use. Now starts all the problems and for this reason I'm writing.
I called Apple and Orange many times. Orange didn't received the documents from Apple for the changing of IMEI and Serial, for them I had the first iPhone. After many cals finally I asked Apple to send something official for the changing.
....Days goes on and on.......
Every day two times I called Orange, but evert time I received different versions of my situation. Everyday I tried to restore the iPhone but still simlocked.
On Jan.15th after a meeting with a lawyer I decided to make pression to Apple: infact I returned them an unlocked iPhone and I received back a locked one.
I finally was able to speak with a "supervisor" (Mr. F...) and he tried to solve the problem.
On Jan. 16th I spoke with another "supervisor" (Mr. J...) and he told me to make another time the restore, because they changed the firmware.
From now I tried to make the restore many times with Orange sim. Everything seems to go well but when I put another sim on iTunes there is a white page with:
"THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTED. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please etc etc....".
So the iphone is locked!!! Maybe is country locked, I don't know.
Incredible, unbelievable.
From Apple they told me to wait someting from US, but until now ..... nothing, I received no news from Apple.
The bad situation is that after more than 30 days after the buy I am not able to use the hardware I bought!
I hope that someone from Apple can read this post (sorry if is so long, but with this details I think that in Apple can understand the problem).
I send in warranty an hardware with certain features that I payed to Apple and I received back it with different features.
That's not serious.
After many days, next week I think to go by legal means if Apple France is'nt able to solve the issue.
Many thanks if someone from Apple read my post.
Many thanks if someone help me.But who has to make another unlock? Orange told me that for them is ok and the phone is unlocked. I read on other pages that Apple has a world-database with Imei numbers. So seems Apple can also do the unlock, even for the fact that they returned me a locked phone, different from the one I sent them. The warranty is with Apple, I forgot to warite in my first post that first of all on Janauary I went to Orange shop where I bought the iPhone but they told me for every problem is Apple that has to solve.

i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone.
