    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why isn't the Apple store working?

    Why isn't the Apple store working? I wanted to buy a iPad but I can't because the store isn't working. When will the store start working?

    Apple is in the midst of announcing new products and they normally take the Apple Store offline while a keynote is in progress. The Apple Store will be back up when the keynote is over. Try back in about a half an hour or so.
    Regards.

  • Why isn't the plugin checker working anymore?

    I check for updates to my plugins very often. The Plugin Check page has been saying that all my plugins are up to date. However, twice now I've clicked the button to check anyway, and found that a plugin was not up to date after all. Why isn't the Plugin Check page detecting when my plugins need updating?

    I don't know what you guys have been doing at Mozilla but you've ruined a decent product!

  • Why won't the home sharing automatically wake up my mac to share the library using apple tv 3rd gen

    My Mac stays on however after a short while it goes to sleep mode. when i attempt to access the home sharing feture in apple tv i have to walk all the way over to the mac to wake it up in order for the home sharing to be recognized. Is there a way that Apple TV can tap into a sleeping Mac that it is synced to so this process can be streamlined?

    Not sure if your problem is exactly the same as in the following thread, but JAHelms posted a fix that seemed to help quite a few people:

  • Why won't my Home Sharing work?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Lion.  Home Sharing is turned on and logged in on iTunes and iTunes is running, still I cannot access my computer's Library on my Apple TV (2 gen) which also has Home Sharing turned on and logged in..  It used to work every time, but recently it has decided not to load the Library.  I have not changed anything anywhere, either in my home network (Airport Extreme) or any system preferences.  I do not understand why this has happened. 
    Can anyone (especially Apple techs) give me a reason for this problem and advise how to fix it.  I would like very much to watch my iTunes Movies on my HDTV via Apple TV as I used to be able to do, but it just will not cooperate.

    I have done a comprehensive check on all my other devices (iPhone 4s, iPad mini, iPad (1) and all of those devices have NO problem with Home Sharing.  They all work as they are supposed to.  So, I decided to "reset" my Apple TV.  It seems to have worked.  I have now tried three different times with Appl;e TV and it worked each time. 
    Therefore, I would advise anyone else having problems with Home Sharing on an Apple TV to reset the Apple TV. You will of course have to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network and restart Home Sharing and enter your account information as well as other initial settings which Apple TV will prompt you for.  But it did work, at least for now.

  • Why won't the Home Sharing tab show up on either of my computers?

    I have turned on Home Sharing on both my laptop and home computer under the same username, but the tab disappears after I hit "Done." I have read over a number of troubleshooting suggestions and then tried them (including restarting my computers and reopening iTunes), but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions as to what I should do to resolve this problem?

  • Why isn't the Twitter app working

    all of a sudden when trying to tweet on the Twitter app a messages Ppears saying, tweet not sent we're sorry, we weren't able to send your tweet. Would you like to retry or safe this tweet in drafts :/ dose anyone know what's going on here and is it just Twitter being down that is the issue here ???

    Its working fine for me.
    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.
    If the issue persists, check with Twitter support.

  • Why won't the home button work

    I just dropped my iphone for the first time. It didn't have an otter box, just a thin plastic cover. It landed on it's screen but shows no screen damage whatsoever. Now I can't use the home button. I can listen to my music and play games just fine, but when it comes to getting back to the home screen with the home button it doesn't work. It makes the usual clicking sound, but nothing else. I got it to the home screen a couple of times by pushing the button with alot of force but I'm affraid that will damage it more. What should I do? Is it fixable? Do I have to take it to be repaired or can I fix it at home?

    Sounds like you broke your phone.  Bringt it and $149 to the Apple store for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Why isn't the home button icon the apple logo?

    Just wondering if apple made a conscious decision to use a simple rounded square instead of an outline of their apple logo for the icon in the home button on their products.

    Nobody on here will know Apple's thinking behind the shape/design of the button, but an even shape is probably better aesthetically

  • Why isn't the App Store working at all?

    Okay so after updating my iPad this morning my App Store isn't working, like AT ALL. And I have yet to update my iPhone 5 because it also will not let me use the App Store. What's up with it?

    I think you just have to keep retrying throughout the day.
    Once you get in, perhaps just update the Apps that are most important to you for now.
    The servers are still going to be very busy today.

  • Why isn't the bucket tool working?

    I have several line drawings i did in flash and i can't fill any of them. Iv done all the drawings with the pen tool and they are all sealed but the tool wont let me use it.

    It probably 'isn't' closed. I've seen that many time where you think the line is closed but it's not. Some things to try are to select the whole drawing and zoom in and then try to fill. Or smoothing the lines one time sometimes closes lines that were only one pixel open. Also using the gap size helps a lot. If all else fails you can upload the drawings here and we can try to help further.

    No matter what I type into the search box, I don't get ANY results.  Is it broke?

    I'm using IE 7.  The popup blocker is shup off.  I was finallly able to search by going to the main forum page and typing my keywords in there.  Then I was able to filter on down to Crystal Reports forum by using the left naviation.  Now...here's the stumper....this morning, the search box is working for me.  I guess it could have  been a temporary computer browser gltich on my end.  Thanks for your ideas anyway.
