White halo effect on every screen on iPhone - Any ideas?
I have recently begun to have problems with my 18 month old iPhone 5 freezing in shutdown. I have had to reset it several times. After checking all settings and deleting unused apps etc. I seemed to have resolved the problem and it has been fine for about three weeks. However, today whilst the phone was recharging it began an intermittent beeping - this stopped when I disconnected it from the charger. I then updated it to the most recent iOS 7. This evening it became very overheated (hasn't done this before) and now it is displaying a white halo effect on every screen.
The phone has not been dropped or ever immersed in water. I only ever use the original lightning cable and charger.
I have 6 months to go of a 2 year contract.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there hope or is my phone in its death throes??
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Backing up, Updating and Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I keep getting an error The ipad can not be synced because the sync session failed. same error for my iphone. any ideas?
Try deleting iTunes from your computer. Do not delete your iTunes library. Then download and install a fresh copy if iTunes. Reboot your computer after installation of iTunes.
Then reboot your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
Reconnect the phone to your computer running iTunes and see if the sync process will go through. -
My touchscreen stopped responding to my finger and I can't unlock the screen...any idea how to remedy this problem?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Not all of my playlists and songs sync from my Mac to my iphone, any ideas?
Just got through flailing with the same problem within the hour. It turned out I had music purchased with an earlier Apple ID in iTunes. My solution was to authorize the computer in iTunes with the previous ID and then all music would sync. Might try that.

since upgrading ical on mac for .me account can't sync calanders with older generation itouch using 3.1.3os now calander on itouch generates blank screen...any ideas
Thank you for suggesting the link. it seems the problem was even simpler than I had thought had I read the FAQ link of the iCal/me upgrade notification ... Apple's latest version of iCal simply does not support versions of the iOS earlier than 4.2. The device I had been using was a first generation touch... Still working ... with out error in good condition despite having been to hades and back... But no longer supported by the newer versions of the iOS and the .ME ical application...
Another beautiful but orphaned device:-(. Like the absence of support for "ancient" apple operating systems, including their more interesting applications, it is simply no longer supported...one must move on to purchase new hardware and it's associated software to keep up with the evolving cloud os. The blank screen ical problem, on the touch, was corrected by performing the standard start up reboot procedure...with no loss of data and a return of the screen interface in the end. Again another example of the really outstanding past efforts to make robust system products. I will try to put my old touch to good use in its new " retirement" status ...use it some where else, like my original 128k Mac ( that still works as well!). Guess it is time to purchase a newer tool ;-)
Thanks again for taking the time to make the effort to assist -

I Downloaded a update on my iphone 5 and now the screen is frozen any suggestions on how to fix
Good Afternoon rossiebud,
If your iPhone is not responding after your update, try the steps in the article below. If restarting or resetting your iPhone doesn't get you back on track, then you can reinstall the iOS by selecting Update while in recovery mode.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Hope that helps ...

Macbook pro blue screen appears randomly - any ideas as to its cause?
I have a macbook pro (mid 2011 15") and intermittently when using the internet the screen goes blue (like the blue screen when starting up). I have to close the lid to put it to sleep and then reopen it in order to continue using the computer. I have had it looked at twice by Apple technicians, on the first occasion the operating system (Snow Leopard) was reinstalled and on the second diagnostic checks were run on the RAM and logic board. However, the problem occurs infrequently and couldn't be reproduced while in Apple's hands. On neither occasion was a problem / fault identified yet the randomly occuring blue screen has persisted. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any idea as to the cause of the problem and a possible solution.
at first step,try to change yor RAM / memory with other memory's MBP.and used it several hours.because some MBP early 2011 got blue screen because that hardware.
good luck. -

I cant review apps in itunes or from my iphone any ideas?
For some reason I can not seem to review apps, songs, movies or anything come to think of it, from my iphone. This has been going on for yonks now. I thought this issue would have been resolved with the various updates that Apple has issued, but this has not happend. I am currently using IOS 6, but I have been experiencing the same issue for a while now. I am logged into my account when I try to give a review, when I go to submit it nothing happens.
Any ideas how I resolve this?This could be caused by the way the iPhone is connecting to the internet; some ISP's block port 25. Can the iPhone send emails after disconnecting from the Wi-Fi network?
If the issue is not present when you disconnect from the Wi-Fi network, try changing the outgoing server port in Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> tap the MobileMe account> Account Info> Advanced> Change the Server Port to 587 under Incoming Server. Then re-join the Wi-Fi network and test.
Few have reported that they had to delete their mobilme account from my the iPhone and then run the wizard again to get it working
