What is safe mode and how did I get it on the screen?

Hey there
I can help you with that! Safe Mode is an option the user can choose, causing the phone to start up running only the factory installed services and applications. This is commonly used for troubleshooting purposes to determine if an issue is caused by a downloaded or cached element.
To exit Safe Mode, simply power your device off and back on!
I hope this helps

hmm ... _*safe mode*_ is usually employed as a means to troubleshoot Mac OS. did you by any chance hit the "Shift" key during sartup ?
only other reference to +iTunes safe mode+ i could dig up is this rather old article: http://tech.kateva.org/2008/07/itunes-keyboard-shortcuts-safe-mode.html.

  • What is "safe mode" and how do I fix it?

    Ever since a recent update of iTunes, I get the following message every time I launch iTunes:
    *iTunes is running in safe mode.*
    *Visual and device plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled.*
    Great, but I have no recollection of ever having installed any "visual or device plug-ins" for iTunes. Where would I find these so I can rip them out?

  • What is GameCenter APP and how did it get on my phone?

    Hello all,
    I can't seem to delete it and have no knowledge of how it got on my phone.
    I never established an account.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Ok Thanks.
    When did it show up ? During one of the  recent IOS upgrades?
    Never remember it and seems strange that there is no way to see where it came from.

    Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • I just got a white frame in the middle of my images in viewer mode. What is it and how did it get there and how do i get rid of it.

    I just got a white frame in the middle of my images in viewer mode in Aperture 3. What is it and how did it get there and how do i get rid of it?

    Just fishin' ...
    Is by any chance "View→Show focus points" checked?
    Does the frame persist after closing and re-opening Aperture?
    Notice anything else different?
    To post a screen shot, you first take it, them upload it.  To take them, I use and recommend Skitch -- one of the best little apps ever.  But this ability is built into OS X.  Use Grab or Preview (search OS X Help for full directions).  In Preview, use "File→Take screen shot ... →From selection ... ".  Save the file in Preview to your drive.  In the Discussion forum click the "Insert Image" icon (a camera) and select the file you created in Preview.

  • How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

    How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

    Just drag it off the Dock and it will go "poof"
    Look at the Options... when you click on it. Unless it got set to stay there, something you did or an app did caused it to be open.
    Are there any windows open attached to it?
    Is it set to "open on login"?
    I use it but I do not have it or keep it on my Dock. It is found in /Applications/Utilities and installers may need to use it.

  • What do the blue dots beside the addresses used in the messages address  and how did they get there?

    What do the blue dots next to the addresses in the address book used to address (TO) someone mean and how did they get there.  I unsuccessfully tried to use an email address, the message address line kept giving me a red "hand slap"with an ! Point.

    The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
    Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

  • I can't log in to my computer- when it turns on it has a white/gray screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in it.  What does this mean and how can I get it to stop to log in?

    Hi
    I dropped my macbook yesterday and it turned itself off. When I tried to turn it back on all I got was a white/gray screen with a flash folder with a ? in the middle of it?  What does this mean and how do I get it to stop so I can log onto my laptop?

    Deev
    Normally the question mark on the gray screen means it can't find the operating system. Have you tried booting up from the installation DVD? Do that, and when you come to the screen where it wants to begin a system installation you'll notice in the menubar where it say's utilites. Click on that and choose disk utility. from there choose your disk and try to verify and repair the disk. If you can you may want to also try and new install of the system. I don't know how much critical data you have, but reinstalling is an option. did you purcahse you from an Apple store? If you did you may want them to look at it. Hope this helps.

  • I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported.  What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • In the top right corner of my i phone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it,, it has only just popped up

    in the top right corner of my iphone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it, it has just popped up...

    That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
    To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.

    Unfortunately, it's malware but easy to delete from the hard drive.
    Run the removal tool here >  The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide  
    Very easy to use, it's safe, and only takes a minute or two.

    What does Locked Sim mean? It's on my front upper left corner on
    My other phone? And how did it get locked and how to unlock ?

    Hello Whatever man,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. What you are seeing is that the SIM has a passcode lock that was done by the end user and needs to be unlocked, the following article will assist with the SIM PIN.

  • I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    Hi there
    I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these.  Instead it just took me to the
    adobe page with nowhere visible to update.  I then  sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
    functionality  It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe. 
    I have since remedied the problem as  my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that.  I do feel that this is a bit
    of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
    Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.
    Carlo

  • I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

    I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

    If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.
