Why is this happening? pixellated screen, not rebooting

This all it is seem to do. Day and Night. Doesnt reboot, doesnt do anything else. Doesnt charge. Randomly this happened. Explain someone please?

I don't know what's doing that, but resetting your iPad back to its factory default mode can't hurt, and can actually help. I hope you've got your backups, so you don't lose your information.

Why is this happening? calls not coming through properly.

I have done a few searches on google. but i have found nothing that really answers my problem. everything is from the 2.0/2.1/2.2 era.
Ok, My problem:
1. When someone calls me, sometimes my phone plays ball and rings as it should do. Other times, like when my mum rang before, it doesn't ring, vibrate, display a message on the screen, or say 'Mum. four missed calls' when i go to unlock it. All it does is log an entry in my phone app, the missed calls are there but why is it not ringing?
2. This has also happened a few times, and i had forgotten about this issue until i read it on an old forum, and it appears related to prob 1. When i try to send an SMS it doesn't always work, 8 times out of 10 it does. but it is still happening, i get a little red circle with an exclamation mark inside it.
3. When i send an SMS and it works, people report getting several copies of them. this is also related to the other probs. It also sometimes has happened to me, i have received dupe copies of a message someone only sent once.
I am running the latest, 3.?? firmware, i cant remember the number but is the latest one.
Thanks Guys,
Joe

If nothing else works, you might try this one. It has worked for many others ...
Use iTunes to do a reset to factory default condition. Always be sure to do your backups before fiddling with your iPad. You might do both the iCloud and the iTunes backup, just to be sure!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Macbook Air is locked. What command should I use to reboot? Why is this happening? Pics included

I recently got a MacBook Air from someone who owed me money. The MacBook Air is completely locked and Im not sure how to bypass the secured login screen or which code to use that will boot in an alternative mode. I've tried Command + R, Command + S, Option and none of these three worked. When I press Command + R, I get the following lock screen (the picture is just upside down, not sure why.)
I own a macbook pro and have reset my password using Command+R. Not sure if MacBook Airs need a different command. When I press Command+S I get a loading screen, then a screen that tells me "Your computer is disabled. Try Again in 60 minutes"
Why is this happening?
What command can I press to bypass this?
Could I put a clean OS on a USB drive and install it that way to have a clean install? If so, how do I boot it, if I can only get to these screens?
Now that my computer is disabled and I have to wait 60 minutes, should I perform the correct command once the time is expired or can I use it immediately, while the disabled time is still active?
Please help!!!!
Also, not sure which OS its running since I can't get pass this to fully inspect the Macbook Air.

That is an EFI Firmware Password.
There are only two ways around it: bring it and some money to Apple, who will certainly want proof of ownership, or obtain the password from its previous owner.
A third method that I do not recommend is to pay any number of sketchy third party outfits that allege a means of removing the password. There are several reasons I do not recommend it, among them: I have no personal experience with them, I have no idea if they will be successful, and you may have no recourse if they damage the Mac and render it permanently broken. Apple will certainly refuse service if anyone other than Apple or an authorized Apple repair facility tampers with it.

When I double click on a thumbnail, a black screen with a ! shows up. why is this happening??????

In I Photo, when I double click on a thumbnail to enlarge it, a black screen with a ! appears. Why is this happening?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved? I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel. I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes. I have reset my photo stream. Not sure what else to try... I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa. Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not. Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

I just got an ipad mini for christmas. charged it fully. was using it fine, then went to turn it back on and nothing is happening. i plugged it in and it doesn't even make a sound like it's charging. the screen is completely black. why would this happen?

i got an ipad mini for christmas, charged fully. was using it..and it was fine.. went to turn it back on to use again and it's a blank screen. went to plug in and nothing seems to show it's charging or anything. why can this happen??

Try resetting it. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.
If it's a brand new iPad Mini (with retina display), it is under warranty. You can always take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for service.

I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

I keep receiving Reset email password emails.
The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening?? I am not requesting to reset my icloud email password.

That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)
