Touch ID suddenly stops working.

I just got my iPhone 6 over a week ago and this is my first time having an iPhone with the Touch ID. Everything was working fine until today. The Touch ID decides to work then suddenly stops working then back and forth. When it doesn't get my finger print it says "try again" but it's not even trying to scan it. I've read a few posts about how your hands have to be clean, dry and to clean the home button with rubbing alcohol, etc. I've read and done it. I've also restarted my phone a few times in hopes it will fully start working again but no luck. I'll admit that I had my phone laying on a counter while I was taking a shower today and it got humid. But, I've done that in the past with other phones and they're perfectly fine. Do I have to be in a perfect temperature for the Touch ID sensor to work correctly forever or what??? I can still go back and change my phone but if this is a common problem then I rather just keep this phone.

I have figured out the wall connection somehow messed with Touch ID. I noticed when it would only work while it wasn't charging. I changed the charger and it's working perfectly!! Leaving this post just in case someone has the same problem I had.

Touch Screen Suddenly stopped working

Good Afternoon, The touch screen on my HP Envy Touchsmart Notebook PC suddenly stopped working. I do not have the Tablet PC setting option available either now. All of my HID devices show as working properly. I have had Windows 8.1 for some time when this occurred, so it is not due to a recent upgrade. Additionally I am up to date with all of my installs. Please advise as this was one of the primary reasons for purchasing this laptop.Thank you

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP TouchSmart 17 Notebook with issues of the TouchScreen now working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Touchscreen. The touchscreen shouldn't need recalibration, but if you or another user has recalibrated it, it may affect the performance of the touchscreen.Here's how to check or restore the factory default calibration using a keyboard or mouse:Press the Windows logo key Type Control Panel, then use the arrow keys to highlight Control Panel, and press Enter.
In Control Panel, use the arrow keys to highlight Hardware and Sound and press Enter.
Under Tablet PC Settings use the arrow keys to highlight Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input, and press Enter.
Use the Tab key to select the Reset button, and press Enter.
If the Reset button is grayed out, your Notebook touch calibration is still at factory settings and nothing further required. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

Multi-touch gestures suddenly stop working

Hi! I'm having problems with multi-touch gestures in browsers such as Safari, Chrome. Suddenly, 'double tap zoom' stops working during browsers use. Also, when I pinch to zoom, pinch to unzoom stops working. I'm using a MBPR 15" mid 2012, OS X Mavericks. These problems stalk me since Mountain Lion. Only reboot helps, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Try resetting the PRAM.

My Zen Touch has suddenly stopped worki

Hello, newbie alert in progress!
My 20Gb Zen Touch was working fine this morning till I tried reinstalling the drivers that I got from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm (I had to do it this way after I lost my original CD ) after I had to reinstall the system recently. I plugged the device back in afterwards but XP seemed to be unsuccessful in detecting it properly.
And now it seems that the thing simply won't turn on, even when disconnected from the computer and with the lock disabled! The light on the power switch remains lit, but holding it down does nothing and I'm not getting anything on the screen. It's as if I'm being permanently locked out of my own player for some reason or other! (And yes, it's fully charged, I charged it up only last night!)
If you need me to post my serial number on here, let me know. But I'm using Windows XP SP2, AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 52Mb RAM, Creative Zen Touch 20Gb, still using the original firmware that came with my unit (seeing as I found no real problems with the device so far), and I tried upgrading the drivers to .30.03 but that didn't make much of a difference.
While I'm here, do you know if there's any way I can apply for a replacement copy of the install CD seeing as it appears to have disappeared with little chance of finding it again?
Thank you!

Well, resetting the device worked in the end! Whew, thanks for allowing me to not worry lots anymore!
Thing about the install CD though...... I assumed the downloadable .30.03 drivers alone would be all you need post-reinstall, but they didn't seem to help detect the device afterwards, therefore I think they're upgrade-only ones.
Unless of course I'm not looking hard enough and base drivers are available too from this site? Is it like in one of the software packages or something?

My daughters imessage on her ipod touch has just stopped working - to get it going again I reset it with my email address but this doesn't allow her to send messages to any of her contacts. When I try and put her email back in it says it can't verify it

My daughters imessage & face time on her ipod touch has suddenly stopped working. The only way i could get it going again was to reset it up with my email address. This will not allow her to send messages to any of her contacts in her addess book. I have tried to set up her email (which she previously used successfully) but it will not allow this it states 'unable to verify email because it is already in use' - anyone any ideas its is driving me mad !!

Try here:
iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

Internet sharing suddenly stopped working - please help!

I have been sharing my internet for weeks from my computer but this morning it suddenly stopped working. I've tried changing the password, changing the channel number, and changing the Network name to a simple one, but it is all not working Apparently the authentication server is not responding? How can I fix that?

I'm having the same problem. I had internet sharing set up on my iMac from Ethernet via AirPort, and received quite well on my MacBook and iPod Touch, and then one day, it just stopped working. I'm assuming that some update or other caused this problem, but I have no idea which (I mostly use the internet on my desktop machine, so it may have been several days before I noticed the problem). I've tried with-and-without a password, and also tried sharing from my MacBook to the iMac and iPod Touch, and I can't get any bandwidth (I can connect to the 802.11 network that I create, but I can't get any internet through it).

IPhone 3GS suddenly stopped working with wifi in only one location

This is the situation. I have an iPhone 3GS and it the wifi suddenly stopped working at my house (just with the iPhone).
I have an Airport express (latest generation) and a time capsule (1st generation). All of my devices (except a PC laptop which isn't much of an issue, and the iPhone) cannot connect to it. The devices I have are as follows: Apple TV, iPod Touch, iPad 2, the "new" iPad, a macintosh computer.
However, when I move the Airport express to my work location, and plug it into the ethernet there, the iPhone works totally fine. It seems like the issue is just at my house. The Time Capsule works intermittently sometimes; random devices cannot connect to the network sometimes. The airport express seemed to fix this problem. I have read that this problem is related to the operating system "Lion" but the network was working fine for months and months after I have upgraded to lion. Sometimes both devices cease to work, and there is no internet to any devices in my home.
The network is password protected, so that removes the possibility of neighbors connecting to the network. The name of the network contains spaces and "symbols" which I have heard is an issue for PC's trying to connect to networks. Both my home and my workplace are on the same internet provider.
My questions are:
Why does the airport express work with the iPhone at my workplace and not at my house?
How many devices can a 1st gen Time Capsule handle at once?
If I buy an airport extreme, will it fix this issue?
How can I fix this?
I have restarted the device several times (both the iPhone and Time Capsule) and it still didn't fix anything.

Using the delete all content and settings option is not restoring the iPhone. Using the delete all content and settings option does exactly that - all content and settings are securely deleted except for the firmware, which is not a restore.
If you do this followed by re-installing an app via the iTunes sync process, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will be lost. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your iPhone and is not stored with the app or synced with the app in your iTunes library on your computer.
3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is stored separately from the app on your iPhone and is included with your iPhone's backup which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other selection available is as a new iPhone. After either one, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes. If you restore from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installing an app that stores data you need to access, the data will be restored with the app. If you restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installng an app, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will not be restored with the app since you didn't restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup where this data is stored.
If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, you can follow this by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup to recover the 3rd party app settings and the data created and stored by the app along with all other data included with your iPhone's backup.

Drive suddenly stopped working

Hi there, can anyone help/advice on this issue. My Lacie external firewire drive suddenly stopped working, the green light on the power pack had died so i replaced the powerpack thinking this was the problem. Still nothing. Te HD does not show up on the desktop or disk utility. The drive does not seem to power up audibly like before, although the blue light comes on. I have tried it on several other newer more powerful macs in the office and still no joy. Ideas? thanks

hi there, thanks for getting back in touch. Yes I guess it could have just died The power brick is rated the same yes, same input power and output, also tested on another brick which belongs to another drive exactly the same. I dont think there is any warranty, it is about 5years old. Not tried the USB, I will give it a try though. Not sure what the drive configuation is inside the case, but may try and remove them and put them in another case, see if I can get any data off. Thanks

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Touchscreen suddenly stopped working

Hi all,
After about an hour of working this morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped functioning. I have tried using it with and without an external mouse plugged in, but nothing seems to work. Initially I was able to see the Touch menu under the Control Panel, but after restarting it has disappeared.
I searched for calibration options and after selecting "View Pen and Touch Info" it reads "No pen or touch info is available for this display". I've had this computer for a few months now and this is the first issue I've had with the touch screen. I haven't installed any updates overnight that would have disrupted anything.
Is there a driver or anything I can download to fix this?
