When you shutdown or restart, uncheck the box below:

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

Suddenly, my phone isn't working, no internet, no phone, no texting, no music. Also, I tried to sync it to my mac and the syncing process won't start. I can't turn it off. Any suggestions?

Frozen or unresponsive iPhone?

Iphoto comes up on start up- how can I turn this off?

Can't figure out why this is happening- iphoto automatically opens when I turn on the computer.

It's probably set as a Login Item. Go into System Preferences -> Users & Groups. Select the account you're currently logged in with from the list (should already be selected), and choose 'Login Items'. There you will see a list of all the applications that will start up automatically on login. Highlight the item you want to remove and click the minus [-] sign at the bottom.

Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

Please Help Me! I've deleted almost all of my Outlook 2003 calendar entries and can't get them back!

Hi,
I synced my Curve to my Outlook 2003 calendar two days ago, and it worked great. Then I added a few items to the calendar on my blackberry and tried to sync so those new entries would appear on my outlook calendar. I stupidly just clicked through and didn't read the pop up screens because I thought it would just work fine.
Somehow, this move deleted nearly all of my calendar entries on my Outlook, but all of the entries are still on my Blackberry calendar (over 1,000 entries). Now, I can't get them back on my Outlook calendar. I tried just syncing one way from device to Outlook and it looks like it's doing it, but then nothing shows up on Outlook.
What do I do?
Thanks.
Thanks.

In the Desktop Manager > Sync > Configuration, make sure the calendar options are set to override Outlook.
Set it also to notify you of the changes, so you will have to approve any changes.

I moved to a new place I am trying to connect my Apple TV to a new tv, I connected to power and hdmi but my tv is not reading the Apple TV and my Apple TV light is on all time and can't turn it off by remote

how to connect my apple tv

It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:

How do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?

how do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?

It's the Resume feature of Lion:
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

Why do all may programs open at startup?

My boss just bought a new Mac Book Pro with Retina display to replace a Dell. For the last couple of weeks all of her programs have opened at start up and she has to manually shut them down. Any ideas on how to stop this?

One possibility is to uncheck this box when shutting down or restarting:

Hi aldamtgf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Messages is only displaying a white screen when you open it, first force close the application using this method:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close

If Messages still does not open normally, restart your iPhone next:

All the best,

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:
