Turning Touch on its Side...NOT WORKING HELP!?!?!?
Hello All,
I am a new Apple user so please be nice
I just got my Ipod Touch in the mail today and have been fooling around with it for a few hours now.
When I try and turn the Ipod on its side (so that you get the landscape view of photos, websites, or the CD Cover catalog), it doesn't always work.
Sometimes I have to flip the Touch back and forth 15 times at all different angles before the a photo switched from Portrait View to Landscape view.
Is there a trick to turning it on its side, or is this a defective Touch? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Joe
It seems that if I tilt it up and turn it on its side, then it switches to landscape view, but if I have it laying flat in my palm, and just rotate my palm, it doesn't move.
Is this normal?
Thanks for the response.

My MacBook Air won't turn on? I have to dropped it but earlier in the day I got a notification about a full single drive. I have tried the ideas in the communities but its still not working, help!

Find the section that applies to your computer, and follow the instructions.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC. -
HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
HELP MEEE!!!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- 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.

Creative Zen Micro with a ! on its side: not work
I had the Zen Micro installed in my computer but it stopped working. If I now connect the portable device nothing appears, and it tells me that I have to install the drivers. I put the cd in, but at some point it gives me back an error message saying that the .inf files refers to a service that doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?Does it have anything to do with a usb problem?
ANY IDEAS?

iOS devices cannot play every format that can be played on other devices. You can convert unsupported formats to a supported format for import to your iOS device.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

Hello, it's been 5 days now since my imessage has not working..and i have chatted to the costumer for two times. I took thier advice and instructions just to enable to send and receive on it but unfortunately until now its still NOT working. Is there anybody who could help me please?
Try this even if you have already. Just make sure to follow the steps specifically.
Go to settings > Facetime > send and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out. If your not signed in then that will work as well.
Go to settings > Messages > sent and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.
Restart the iPad by doing the slide to power off setup. Just hold the power button on the top right till it turns off.
After the iPad has been restarted:
Go to settings > Facetime > and sign in
Go to settings > Messages > and sign in
Wait about 3 min then restart the iPad again. Same instructions as above.
When you restart you should be able to use messages again. If not then call support again and talk to someone higher than the first level support they have. -
