My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one. -

Go to the main Apple Discussions page, select an appropriate product category and follow the links until you reach the correct forum for your post, then click the POST NEW TOPIC link. Because your post doesn't indicate was OS you are using on your iMac, I can't give you a link to the most appropriate forum.
Basically, though, the version of TechTool on the AppleCare disks is not compatible with newer versions of OS X and/or Macs (I can't remember which). If you don't get a satisfactory response by posting in the appropriate iMac or OS X forum, I suggest you take your iMac to the geniuses at the Apple Store.

I tried following the directions that I received about restoring my iPod touch. But there is one flaw. My power button is stuck and I am unable to turn it off. How can I go about either getting it fixed or restoring my iPod?
Easy, first make sure that the itunes on your computer is up to date. Next connect the ipod to your computer. If you have itunes 11.0 or above, wait until the device appears in the upper right hand side of the screen, or you can press ctrl-s, and the side menu will appear, and you can see more clearly the ipod appearing under the device category. Next simply click on the ipod and on the summary screen, you should see restore. Press restore, and you will see a dialog box asking to back-up & restore, restore only, or cancel. If you have information to save, press back-up & restore, if you want to wipe the device clean and start over, press restore. Once it's all done, you should be good.
If your ipod is less than a year old and not a refurbished device, contact Apple at 800-676-2775 for assistance on repair and replace. If you are near an Apple Store, go to http://www.apple.com/retail/ and find your local Apple Store and set-up a genius appointment and go in and have your device repaired or replaced.If your ipod is a refurbished device, it has to be 90 days old or less to be repaired or replaced for free.I hope this helps. -
after clicking "yes" to the question "do you want to update itunes now", i waited 2 hours and 15 minutes and it was still "loading". i turned computer off thinking something was wrong. now itunes won't open at all. do i need to download itunes again?
Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe... -

"Turn computer off" message - virus?
I recently lent my USB to a stranger in a coffeeshop and after inserting it back into my macbook pro, a box with the message "turn computer off" in five different languages came up (it was on a gray background, in case this sounds familiar). I had never seen that box or message before.
A technician told me not to worry about it unless the message came up again.
Any ideas what could have caused this?
How can I ensure no virus or trojan or anything like that was put on my computer (I installed the newest Norton AntiVirus a few days ago)?
Can I use the USB again or should I discard it?
Thanks, any help will be appreciated!The kernel panics are USUALLY (but not always) caused by hardware issues. Including things connected to USB ports. But when that happens, usually it is something more complicated than a USB drive; for instance a printer, hard drive, USB hub, scanner or some device, versus just a solid state USB jump drive with no moving parts.
That said, the person who "borrowed" your USB jump drive might have "done something" to it (or tried to) that made it impossible for your Mac to handle it, or might have physically damaged it (bent the connector) or tried to damage your computer by putting some software on it that tries to install something on your Mac against your will. When the attempt fails, it can cause your system to crash or possibly cause the kernel panic. In fact, this is one way that "malware" accesses memory or tries to control computers, it causes the system to crash in a way that enables it to access or control the "frozen" computer.
I'm with BDAqua here, why would someone borrow a USB drive and then give it back to you if not to put something on it to then do something to your computer? -
I know how to turn bluetooth off and on but my mac book pro asks me to turn bluetooth power on. How do I do this?
Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
If you are, then use this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Other Time Machine restore options are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Note, if recovering from a PowerPC Mac (iMac G5, PowerMac, Mac Mini G4, iBook, Powerbook), this tip is important:
http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
Otherwise use the recommended restore option with whatever backup software you used initially. -
i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?
How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?
Which video card? 5x70? If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor). And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
It's not really complicated. Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up. For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters. For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio. -
Second screen stays black Mac Pro
second screen stays black Mac Pro with 2 x 30" apple cinema HD displays, connected via thunderbolt / USB adapter
I ma confused. You say yo have Lion and are using "via thunderbolt / USB adapter"
Only the 2103 Mac Pro has Thunderbolt and it shipped with Mavericks
What model Mac Pro?
What video card(s)?
Does the one screen work if the the working one is disconnected? -

[solved] can't turn computer off
hello!
yesterday I wanted to turn compiz on so i typed:
# compiz --replace
then the display gone a bit bad: I didn't have windows titles and all windows was in a bunch so I couldnt get to them.
then I typed:
# metacity --replace
and then the desktop retuned to look normally. (then I did some things with metacity and I got some error messages, but I dont remember what they was).
now when I type "metacity --replace" I got another error message:
# metacity --replace
No protocol specified
Window manager error: Unable to open X display :0.0
what it means and what should i do with it? (the desktop environment looks normally)
however, and that is the real problem, I can't suspend/hibernate/restart/shut down the computer. when I try to, it shows me weird black screen so I have to force the computer to turn off by pressing on the power button, and when I go to the computer after some time I see that it completely turned on... (all that functions worked until yesterday)
what can I do?
I use arch with gnome on toshiba laptop.
10x anyway.

Last edited by ariel (2009-08-24 14:11:11)well it seems that's not a hardware problem (feww.. )
because when I turn the computer off as narada wrote:
Shutdown without X: sudo init 0
it does not turn on
then it something in the definitions.
I want to find the problem by doing boot log. so I tried to do what T-Dawg wrote in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 88#p113288:
T-Dawg wrote:
if your talking about the messages that appear after the Arch Wombat message but before the daemons load try renaming /etc/rc.sysinit to /etc/rc.sysinit2 and create a new /etc/rc.sysinit file with the same permissions as the original. In this file put:
#!/bin/bash
/etc/rc.sysinit2 2>somefile
that will echo standard error into somefile. If that doesn't give you the errors replace the 2 with & and both standard out and standard error will be logged into that file.
Make sure that new file is executable.
but I cant because it tells me that the filesystem is read-only.
how can I do a boot log?
is it ok to create /etc/rc.sysinit that will be look like:
#!/bin/bash
mount /dev/sda5 / -o rw
/etc/rc.sysinit2 2>somefile
or it might cause problems?
