Hi there Jackie Silver,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
Hope that helps.

I have downloaded several books into ibooks. Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day. Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book. It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.

There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

My iCloud photos library has been trying to load for four days. What is the issue?

Greetings ok_takem,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an issue with photo syncing. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Bobby_D

Iphone screen not working correctly Please Help!!!!

Hi all, i just returned my broken iphone for a replacement. Everything worked fine until i tested cover-flow. At first everything was fuzzy. I reset my phone and then instead of everything being fuzzy, only the color black was. I really don't want to take it back again for a third iphone. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Removing and re-inserting the SIM card is not a standard troubleshooting step for any and all iPhone problems and not even for a connection problem.
Well removing the SIM and reinserting it has certainly proved useful for other phones, so I don't see why it shouldn't help as a last resort for an iPhone, especially when the nearest store is a hundred miles away. The Apple Tech guys often suggest it, as well, though admittedly I have never known it to help.
But we are getting off-topic and should probably move this discussion to another thread if you want to pursue it.

Shuffle Blinking Orange/Not Being Recognized-- Please Help!

I just got a new iPod Shuffle 2nd generation.
I plugged everything in as stated in the instructions.
The only thing that happens is a folder "IPOD(E:)" pops up. It's empty.
Meanwhile, the shuffle is blinking orange.
So I open iTunes. ITunes tells me that this new ipod only works with ITunes 7.02.
Problem: But I DO have 7.02 running. That IS my current version of iTunes. So this pod SHOULD be working.
I'm not getting any "error" messages. Just an empty "IPOD(E:)" folder and the update message. There is no eject button for the shuffle because iTunes does not recognize any iPod as having been connected.
I have a 1st generation Nano that works fine also on this system. I have a Windows XP.
Help, please!

awg2009,
The iPod Shuffle (Second Generation) showing up as the E: drive, and iTunes reporting that you need iTunes 7.0.2 mean that iTunes 7.0.2 is not fully installed.
In iTunes, go to the Help menu, and then About iTunes, what is the version number in the first line of scrolling text?
If it still reports 7.0.1, close iTunes.
Go to www.apple.com/itunes/ and download iTunes 7.0.2.
When prompted to save or run the file, be sure to save the iTunesSetup.exe where you can find it later.
After it has downloaded, trun off your anti-virus software which may prevent the iTunes files that may be running in the background from being changed, and run the iTunesSetup.exe.
Restart the computer after installing.
Then connect the iPod Shuffle (Second Generation).
If that does not resolve the issue this article contains more information on troubleshooting iTunes install errors:

Random note in iphone's note app! Please help!

Ok, so i just restored my iphone to refresh it, this is an iphone 4s, and i decided to get rid of some notes, just old ones i nerver used or ones i used once, and i noticed a note titled GeoHack - Nevade Nation..., so i opened it and found it was titled GeoHack - Nevada National Security Website and it listed a bunch of codes, like 8 diget numbers, i deleted the note because it was odd and i know for sure i never put it there because i do not understand any of it and or it does not look fromiliar, i know no one uses my icloud account or anything else, its just me and i only use i cloud to back up, can someone please help, i want to figure out what the heck this this is here for and why.

No. But there is a separate Note app on the iPad.
from the iPad Users Guide:
Syncing Notes
You can set iTunes to automatically sync your notes with some email applications.
See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 28.
There is really nothing on page 28 but page 31 syas:
Sync notes in the Notes application on iPad with notes in Mail on a Mac or with
Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC.

Spry Image Slideshow not being nice, please help

Ok, first off, web design novice so please keep it simple for me. I'm trying to set up a portfolio page for a photography website using the Spry Image Slideshow Widget with Film Strip in Dreamweaver CS5.5. The problem occurs when I try to set the width and height as a percentage. Width, no problem, but when I try to set up the height as a percentage, the slideshow disappears and I'm left with just the thumbnail film strip. To clarify here's what I'm doing - in Adobe Widget Browser in the "Frame & View Port" Tab, Change Frame Width to 70% and View Port Height to 70%. In the Live View pane of the Adobe Widget Browser, the slideshow frame changes size with the window as expected, but go to Dreamweaver, open up a blank HTML page, Insert: widget.. and bam, no slideshow, just a row of thumbnails. Thrashing around in the dark here, please help...

Wow, it's like a ghost town on here, think I find a different slideshow.......

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.

HT1338 Several times I have tried to send a copy of a picture by email, and it gives my email address as that of my nephew? Without his password, I can't email from photostream?? I don't know how his email got into the computer. Please help?

whenI attempt to send a picture from iphoto by email, my newphews email address is in the place of mine and I can't send the picture without his password to Hotmail account. I don't know how this could have happened, but has occurred several times. How do I get him off my computer so I can proceed? The computer will not let me change his email address while in the iphoto picture window.
thanks

Check your System Preferences > Internet & Wireless section to see what the settings are?

I cannot access my idisk, I used the password I used to log into my user name but it is still not working. Please help!

I tried several times since I bought my macbook pro to log into my idisk. My password for my user name does not work. I am clueless about what to do next.

You need to turn the phone off and leave it in dry rice for 3-5 days. Then, plug it in and charge it for about 15 minutes and then try to turn it on. If it doesn't work at that point, it will be time to get a new phone.
