I have an ipad wi-fi cellular 32gb. Died in march after 3 month has been replaced now the replacement has died, holding home key and button on top doesnt work at all, not even if left over night and the next day and night, still nothing.

I was given a ipad after xmas 2012. Within a month it was freezing up and returned to apple to replace. It was sent straight back to me saying it was fine. The day I got it back it was faulty again only this time it was worse, it was switching itself off and turning itself back on when it liked. A back up and restore was completed AGAIN. 3 weeks later it was sent straight back to apple to be replaced, this time a higher authority from apple in brisbane said it was to be replaced immediately. Which it was. Then within 6 weeks this ipad the replacemetn ipad has started having issues by turing itself off. Now it has completely shut itself down and off. Charge was at 81%. I put it on charge as maybe the %% was wrong. A few hours later, tried turning it on by holding top button, nothing happened I have also held down top button and home key for 10 sec, nothing so I tried longer nothing happened. Rang apple support and they have suggested holding top button down for 10 sec then add home key for 10 sec both top button and home for 10 sec then they top button off followed by leaving home key for 10 sec by itself. This did not work. I have tried this again this morning and again at lunch at work and again now tonight. Still nothing at all. Even plugging it into the computer doesn't do anything at all. Has anyone else come across this at all with two ipads doing exactly the same thing. My power points are fine, I've had an electrician check them and my computer is fine aswell. I stumped as to what can be going wrong. Thanks

Is your battery dead or alive?
If the battery is dead, we must find out if it is:
1. Charger problem
2. Cable problem
3. Docking port problem
4. Wall socket problem

Start-up screen flashes purple

The grey/white boot screen flashes purple at start-up. While it is a bit disconcerting this development does not seem to adversely affect the OS.
Has anyone found a means to have the OS return to normal start-up functioning?
Thanks in advance.

Try Reset PRAM.

When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages?

When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages? It works when I get a phone call, but I'd like it to work when getting a text message (I do this a lot in noisier areas and would rather not have to look at the phone every few minutes)
Or is there a configuration option I'm missing?

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced. You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.

When I export a video in Premiere, the colors flash purple and green. Why?

I bought the software just recently but I have exported files before and they worked fine. I have a few speculations but I wanted to get an opinion. I dont know what to do if my speculations are right either.
1. I used a small digital camera so the format may be unsupported. It looks fine in the preview but when I set preview quality to maximum it flashes purple and green. I have, on the same timeline, a small logo animation I made using after effects and that part looks fine.
2. I used after effects to color correct the video segements and then exported them as .mov's. They look fine after they are exported. Maybe this is causing a problem though?
3. I noticed that I have been making the comps in after effects, 24 fps but when i looked at the settings in Premiere it says it is at 30 fps. But I didnt see another option there.
Are any of these the problem? Any advice or suggestions? What should I do to fix it/prevent it in the future?
Thank you!

When I open Reader why does screen flash and parts of document are not readable?

When I open a PDF my screen flashes, changes color and then when the document comes up parts of it are blacked out. When I close the document the screen flashes again. I have just downloaded the latest version of Reader.

The slowness may be caused by background processing after the library update. Are you shooting RAW?
Also, where is your iPhoto library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
How much free storage do you have on your system drive
3. Finally when my old folders, books and contents of my old photo gallery appears in the left side of the application I have access to no photo and the program remains as it were unresponsive.
You may need to repair your iPhoto Library.
Run the iPhoto library first aid tools and use the options "Repair permissions" and "Repair database".
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Then select "Repair Database". Repeat with "Repair Permissions". If this does not help, back up your iPhoto Library and use the option "rebuild".

When I open my apps my screen won't rotate

When I open my apps my screen won't rotate

Any apps in particular? Some apps are designed to display exclusively in one orientation or the other. While that isn't the norm, it is also not unusual.
Have you checked how the orientation/Mute function is set?
Lastly, try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

IMac screen flashes black and white when returning to top sites or screen saver

iMac screen flash black and white when returning to top sites or before sleep...any ideas why?

Howdy OatsaMae,
It sounds like your screen is flashing unexpectedly on you for some reason. I would recommend this section from the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

You need to sync the app to the iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Is the app compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Are any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the app on your iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
Do any apps no sync to the iPod?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Have you successfully synced aps to this iPod from this iTunes library before?
