  • My Ipod 4th generation slide bar won't slide and my lock button is jammed. How do I power it off?

    Please help me. I don't know what else to do. I asked people if they would fix it for me, but nobody knows how to fix a jammed lock button.

    Try as much as you can with the broken Power button.:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says use recovery mode use this program.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    There is nothing you can do except take it back to the US. The warranty is not international and no authorized service center will touch your US phone in India.

  • My lock button broke is there anyway i can get a new iphone for free

    Is there anyway i can get a new iphone for free my lock button got jammed one day and its annoying dealing with it i haven't had my phone for a year either

    Take it in to Apple as only they can decide. If they decide it is a defect covered under the warranty, they will replace it.  If they determine it was caused by something you've done or an accident, then you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.  However, Apple will have to make that call, so take it so they can evaluate it.

  • My iPod is 4th generation and the version is 4.3.5 well the lock button is jammed and I wanna know if there is a way I can shut down the whole iPod without the lock button

    My iPod is 4th generation and the version is 4.3.5 the lock button is jammed and I need to shut it off completely how can I do this without the lock button

    You can't with iOS 4. If you update to the latest, 6.1.6 you can use Assistive Touch
    Settings>General>Accessibility
    To update
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    - A 4G to 6.1.6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • I somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get it back?

    Two issues: 1st: I want to know how to take a snapshot of something on my desktop.
    2nd: In trying to remember how to take a snapshot I was just pushing buttons, willy-nilly, and somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari.  How do I get that back?

    It's not on my keyboard (that I know of).  It's an arrow on the bar at the top of my safari screen.  I'm supposed to be able to click the arrow to either go back to the previous page or go forward to the next page.  But I deleted it somehow.  And now I don't know how to get it back.  I found a solution in someone else's post: Safari, View, Customize Tool Bar.  I tried to do that but it doesn't work for me.  I dragged the back arrows to my tool bar but they won't stay up there. What do I do now?

    Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open.  how do I get rid of the ball.  Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

    Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
    Launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar? Also would like to know if the toolbars can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ??

    The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar?
    Also would like to know if the toolbar can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ?? Like the menu & bookmarks toolbar could/should fit on same line. This would add more page view...
    Floyd Perry
    Thanks

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
