Trackball/Phone Freezing! Any ideas?

Hi,
i recently got the 8900 and love it. Only problem being about a week ago the trackball has gone all funny. It will randomly freeze? the ball itself moves perfectly and doesnt get stuck but i cant scroll through icons etc on the screen.
If i give it a gentle tap it seems to fix the problem but if i lock the phone then unlock it it seems to freeze again. Is this the trackball or the phone freezing?
Whats the best solution to get it working?
Thanks for any help you guys/gals might have.
Adrian

A few suggestions:
-You can check and see if it's your trackball with a hardware check. This is from Blackberry Manuals:
Performing Hardware Check on Blackberry: type T E S T on Options >> Status Screen
-Clean your trackball. just google how-to's I'd say. I pull out my battery and use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a tissue, let it dry for like 15 minutes, and then it's good to start up again.
-Check if memory cleaning is enabled: Options>>Security Options>>Memory Cleaning. One thing that might be causing the slowness is if you have it enabled. Enabling it cleans your phone of temporary crap that eats up memory, so I like to have it enabled, but it activates when you lock your phone.
Hope this helps!

Hi! I've been using Goldmine contact management software for many years and syncing with Companion Link successfully, then ITunes to the IPhone. Suddenly, my IPhone is not recognized and won't sync. I see a message telling me to dock the phone? Any ideas?

Aspire 6920 crashes after booting correctly - screeen zig zags and freezes - any ideas to help plse?

My aspire 6920 crashes after booting correctly - screen zig zags and freezes - any ideas to help plse? This does not happen in safemode which I am working in now - I have seen a list of dowloadable drivers on the acer site but not at all sure if I should download any. If laptop is really on its way out I will have to let it go - but I would appreciate any advice to extent its life, Thanks

Many thanks - relieved that it can be done but I am very unconfident that I can do this - is the display driver the display adapter in Vista? Not at all sure how to install new driver from Acer site - Could I use 'Drivers for free' download - I tried to set up an account with them after seeing their free download on CINET but not able to from 'safe mode' and laptop crashes when I try to do anything ( after about a minute ) in ordinary mode. Any further advice welcome, thanks

Our company recently has changed our DNS settings to our network which has resulted in many of our iPhone users not being able to access Outlook mail on their phones. Any ideas out there?

Our company has recently changed our DNS settings for our network mail server, and upgraded our SBS to 2010 Microsoft Exchange. Since that change, most of our iPhone users have not been able to acquire e-mail from our mail server. We have three exceptions are 3GS and 4 phones. Any ideas???

Speak to your exchange & DNS administrators at your company.
It is likely a configuration issue on the server/network side. Event/IIS logs are key on your SBS.

HT1926 I've successfully updated itunes and quicktime on windows XP but itunes won't run properly, the video tutorial loses audio after about 1-2 minutes and when I plug in my iphone 4s to sync the whole thing freezes, any ideas?

Hi everyone,
was prompted to upgrade itunes on my PC and also upgrade the software on my iphone 4s.Went through as usual but took 3 goes to get a successful upgrade of itunes on the PC. Then was prompted to update quick time, this was done successfully.
Thought I'd look at the tutorial video for itunes - the sound went off 11/2 minutes into it, then I couldn't stop it. I had a quick look around itunes and decided to sync my phone. The program recognised the phone then everything froze. Windows message for a non responding program came up and had to pull out of the program. So far after several hours I have not been able to get beyond stage 2 of 7 of syncing the phone; it keeps freezing up at different stages.
Any ideas?? I haven't had this kind of trouble before with any other version of itunes.
Cheers

Still nothing? Wow... maybe the quality of this discussion board really has gone down. Dissappointed.

My Iphone5 power button seems to be permanently pressed. It will think that it is being held down even though I am not touching it and also turn the screen on when I am not touching it. Very hard to use the phone. Any ideas?

There is no rhyme or reason to when it does this. Sometimes, it will be fine for a few hours. Sometimes, I can't use the phone as it exists out of apps automatically and consistently comes up with the "slide to power off" screen. It's draining the battery. Apple replaced my screen a few months ago and the problems have only occured since then but they have got progressivly worse. Any ideas before I take it to the genuis bar and get told it's going to cost me an obsence amount of money to fix a problem I haven't caused? No water damage or droppage on the device either and I have a thick case on it. Case doesn't affect/help the problem as well.

Hi jemerrifield,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your external display being used with your Mac Pro is flickering along the top of the screen. I completely understand how this can be frustrating, especially for being a new computer. I would however like you to follow some troubleshooting steps that will also help determine if the issue is with the display you are using, cables, or the Mac Pro.

Hi, I have an apple id for my iphone 5s, and my two daughter's 4s phones. The problem is that for a month or so now I have been unable to download their updates for purchased apps just on their phones. It works fine on my phone. Any Ideas? Thanks

Hi, I have the same apple id for my 5s and my two daughters 4s phones. For some reason lately, their updated for apps on their phones will not download. Mine works fine. When I press "update" on theirs, it just opens whatever particular app I'm trying to update. I've tried restarting their phones and signing out and signing back in to my account, but no luck. Any ideas? Any help would be appriciated.

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

My 4s was stolen and I need to get gps info for the last several days to track the phone. Any ideas?

My iPhone 4s was stolen in the Atlanta airport Saturday. I used "Find My iPhone" to locate it, however I need the gps history to show all of it's travels since stolen. Any ideas on how I can get gps history from the phone?

Thanks, just what I was afraid of. I'm getting nowhere. I know where it ended up, but not how it got there. Police are investigating.

After upgrading my 3gs to ios5, I get 2 copies of pictures synced from my computer, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put the pictures in to put on the phone. Any ideas why?

When syncing pictures from my computer to my I-Phone I get 2 copies of the pictures, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put pictures in to put on the phone. This started after I upgraded to ios5. I have tried re-installing I-Tunes. I have not reset the phone. My main concern is the amount of memory pictures take up on the phone. It's not a problem now but could be in the future. Any Ideas on why this happening?

It has always been this way. it was never different. This is how the iphone handles photos - always has.
There are NOT two copies, There are simply two ways to access the very same photos. All synced photos will ALWAYS be under Photo Library ( you can look at all photos at once this way or do a slideshow of all photos). Those very same photos can also be accessed from the individual folders so you can show or slideshow just that folder.
Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, there is only one book/photo.

I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get FaceBook to open at all on my phone. Any ideas?

I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get the facebook app on my phone to even open. Any ideas? I already tried shutting the phone off and restarting, but it didn't change anything. Thanks for any suggestions that will help.

Do you have the latest FaceBook app version installed?
If so, try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

I keep getting old emails returning to my iPhone as new emails - they don't reappear on my laptop but this happens periodically on my phone? any ideas?

I have been receiving old emails on my iPhone that I've received before. They come in as new with the new date received yet they are emails I've received in the past. They don't come into my laptop - only on my iphone. Any ideas?

Did you restore your new iPhone 4 from the backup of your iPhone 3? Did you make a current backup of your iPhone 3 BEFORE restoring this backup to your iPhone 4? Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, but they must be in that backup in order to restore them to your new phone.

Bought snow leopard 10.6.3.( mac intel i3) having problems installing product. after 15mins computer freezes any ideas?, bought snow leopard 10.6.3.( mac intel i3) having problems installing product. after 15mins computer freezes any ideas?

Hi recently bought snow leopard 10.6.3. Having problems installing. My i Mac has intel i3 and system 10.6.8 . After about 15mins the computer restarts but freezes with apple logo. Any ideas? thanks alan

Yes, 10.6.8 update was specifically to ease the Lion installation (apart from some security updates).
Juat log onto the App Store (Icon would be in the Dock by default) and find the download. If you're not already registered with App Store, you'll need credit card info to hand, and your Apple ID (the one you use to log in here or the iTunes Store if you use it).
You would only need the retail SL disc if you were running 10.5.8 (Leopard) or earlier.

HT1430 I just upgraded to an i5 and I'm unable to send emails. It says my username and or password is incorrect, however all of my settings are the same as they were on my previous phone. Any ideas?

I just upgraded to an i5 and am unable to send emails. I can receive them however every time I try to send an email I get an error message saying my username and or password is incorrect. My settings are exactly the same as they were on my old phone... Any ideas?

Contact your email provider and verify you have the correct settings

When I plug my connector cord between my iphone 4 and my laptop, it suddenly does not charge anymore like it always has before, although iTunes sees my phone. Any ideas?

When I plug the connector cord between my iPhone 4 and my laptop, it does not charge now (as it always has in the past), although iTunes definitely sees my phone (so the connection is good). This also happened when I tried to charge my iphone in my car with an adaptor which used to work before too. Any ideas on why my phone is suddenly not charging anymore??

I removed the AMDS as part of the instructions for completely removing itunes. Nothing changed unfortunately. I don't understand why it is happening!
I have already checked for lint, etc as you suggested, but don't have another USB cable on me at the moment. I'll be returning home tomorrow so will try then, but I would have thought the cable was fine as it still charges the phone through an AC adaptor fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

IMac randomly freezing - any ideas?

My computer started freezing out of the blue a couple days ago. Yesterday it happened 4-5 times in the morning and then didn't happen again until just now it froze once. I checked the system log and see this error ::
Sep 15 13:36:45 localhost kernel[0]: AppleSMU -- shutdown cause = 3
Any idea what that means?? I tried unplugging all my stuff, removing third-party ram....but I have no idea what that error means.
Thanks.

I just started getting lots of kernel panics in the last week. Took it to the Apple Store and they are replacing the logic board due to blown capacitors. I've had it for 2 years and it just went nutty on me. Take the back off your computer and look at the capacitors. If they are bulging or leaking, then take your iMac to have it repaired. There is a repair extension program for Rev A G5 iMacs....
