What does it mean when my screen has the iTunes symbol with the cord picture coming from bottom to almost the iTunes circle. It is fully charged.

My granddaughter's iPad has on the screen a picture of the cord for charging  with the iTunes circle.  It is charged, and will do nothing!

    What does it mean when there is an I tunes symbol on the screen with a charging cable underneath that?

    Turn on the computer. Take the charging cable and connect one end to the bottom of the Touch and the other to a USB on your computer (back of the computer if this is a desktop computer). iTunes should open automatically and will probably give you a message it has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. Follow the onscreen steps from there and Restore it from any backup on the computer.

  • What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    Exactly that, there is a problem with the sim card.
    The sim card is the little chip that links your iPad to the cellular providers network to get internet anywhere.
    It may have moved in the tray and lost contact, it may have an actual issue, or it may be deactivated by your cellular service provider.
    Contact them to have them look at it or your service and see if there is anything wrong with it.

  • What does it mean when there is a flashing file folder with a question mark when trying to start computer?

    When I try to start my computer a flashing file folder with a question mark is on the screen. I can't open anything up. What does this mean?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

  • What does it mean when my screen just flashes a file folder with a question mark?

    I just did software update and now my screen flashes a file folder with a question mark in the middle???

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • What does it mean when my "Session Has Timed Out?" How do I fix this and redeem my gift card?!

    So, in the iTunes store when I enter a gift card code and hit 'redeem' a message pops up and says, "Your session has timed out. Try again." This has been going on for FOUR DAYS. I'm connected to the internet, have the newest version of iTunes my computer can run, (9.2.1), so what's the problem? I just want to buy some music!

    Totally never mind- I read a different discussion that had the same problem and got it fixed. I just signed out, entered the code, then when I was prompted to sign in, I did- and it accepted my code! Thanks!!

  • What does it mean when I get a string of boxes with 4 characters, combos of letters and or numbers in place of one digit.

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968254
    I read that the 4 characters in a box, replacing one space, is a Java script object notation file. The file type is a JSON and the File Type is EXTENSION. I still don't have a clue as to how this affects me.

  • HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.

  • What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle?

    What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.

    I don't have original discs that it came with.
    Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
    Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
    Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
    The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
    it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
    If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
    things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
    has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
    When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
    The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
    Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:

  • What does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    what does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    If you are getting that message when you try to sync your iPad, eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and then try to sync again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, just try using a different USB port.

  • What does it mean when the screen shows only the time and the play button

    what does it mean when i turn on my i-pod and it has a white screen and all it displays is the time and the play button cant get to the main screen to play music

    Is the hold switch in the on position?  Try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  The iPod may have simply locked up.

  • What does it mean when your whole i phone screen turns green

    What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

    It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
    1. Plug it into your computer and restore
    2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
    3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
    4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
    I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.

  • What does it mean when I turn on my mac there is a file on the screen and it won't turn on?

    What does it mean when I turn on my mac and a picture of a file comes up and it won't turn on? I hold the button and turn it off and try again and sometimes it goes on and other times the file comes back on.... do I have a virus? What should I do?

    No, you don't have a virus, but if that folder has a flashing '?', it means your Mac can't find its' system:

  • What does it mean when I see the file with the question mark on my screen?

    What does it mean when I see a file with a question mark on the screen?

    Means no bootable system can be found or required system files are missing or damaged. Reinstall OS X.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
