Touch ID "Failed" and won't allow set up

I have a 5s and a week ago the touch ID stopped working. If I go into the Settings, Touch ID & Passcode and turn on the "iphone unlock" (which I never turned off myself in the first place) it goes to the screen to set up the touch ID and then immediately moves to another screen that says: "Failed: Unable to complete Touch ID setup. Please go back and try again." I have updated to the latest OS 8.3 and still cannot turn it back on. Ideas?

try resetting all settings

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID.

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID to homeshare OR to test te network, which I know is correct since I changed it. I live in an apartment complex and the router is in my roommates room. ANY suggestions? I'm at the point where I may return this because it has been nothing but a hassle. I'm very annoyed and just want the product that I paid for to actually work.
The ABOUT section says Network Time: Skipped (reachable) and Activation: Failed (skipped)
I'm also using my MacBook Pro as the homesharing with iTunes up to date.

I had a similar issue wuth my new Apple TV. If you (or your roommate) are able to change the router firewall settings, do that first. I don't know the ports that you need, except that 123 is one of them (to set the time). Then restart the Apple TV. See if that will get you through the activation process. I actually ended up restoring mine to factory settings, but I'm not sure if that step was really necessary.
I understand your frustration, though. Getting the Apple TV to work was such a pain -- it almost feels like it is not really an Apple product.

HT201210 I just updated my Ipad and I have a message that says "canot back up" and it's frozen and won't allow me to do anything.

I just updated my Ipad and I have a message that says "cannot back up" and nowv it is frozen and won't allow me to do anything. I can't even shut the Ipad off.

Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved passord options, nothing helps

firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved password options, says no password is saved but it is. nothing helps

It might be that you are logged in with HTTP authentication (either basic or digest). This authentication is arranged by the browser, so you would have seen a pop-up dialog asking for a user name and password while logging in. It seems that these are cached by the browser and it requires you to restart the browser to log out...

http://www.tolaris.com/2009/09/08/logging-out-of-http-auth-with-firefox/
Because I found that having to restart the browser quite annoying I stumbled on this question and also on the HTTP Logout add-on that allows you to log out without restarting your browser. Not many sites use HTTP Authentication, but you might give it a try.

TS3988 On my Windows laptop I updated my Apple ID and changed my pw on my laptop. I forgot my old Apple account pw. My iPhone demands the old login info and won't allow me to delete the old account

I need help managing my Apple account across my Windows laptop, iPhone 4s, and iPad iie. I updated and changed my id and pw because I changed email and forgot my old Apple pw. Neither my iPhone or iPad recognize the updates. Both demand the old account info and won't allow deletion of he old account on either device. Without the old id/pw combo, how do I access and update my Apple ID and iClount accounts for my iPhone and iPad?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

Glad it helped. I can relate to not bringing your A game... I had (minor, outpatient) surgery this morning. I'm still in Percocet happy land. LOL
Hope the small feels better.

- 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.

Itunes Freezes ,slow and won't allow search

When i start itunes it freezes momentarily, is very slow and won't allow me to put more than two letters in Search box before freezing. Everything else runs on pc fine.
Anybody any ideas? Using 10.2.1.1 but I've installed different versions but same problems.
Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

Good old fashioned XP. I run it on other pc's with XP with no problems. Tried running various old versions but no luck. I'm sure it must be blindingly obvious to somebody who knows what they're doing!

QuickTime player won't close and won't allow me to shutdown

I Have a MacBook Pro 11,1 - 2.6 GHz i5...IOS 10.9.5...8 GB memory...1600 MHz DDR3. My QuickTime v.10.3 won't shutdown and won't allow me to shutdown my MacBook pro.

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, select the QuickTime Player, and press the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.
