Why won't my lock/ unlock button work and how do I fix it

My lock / unlock button doesn't want to work and looks like it is still depressed like I was trying to lock it even though there is no pressure on it. What has caused this other than dropping it and how do I fix it?

Here is an easy link for you to know how to fix it through itunes when you can't do the tapping or scrolling

Why isn't my apple earpods volume/pause button working? How can i fix this?

I bought apple earpods in buffalo for a flight back home and now the volume button has stopped working. How can i fix this?

Hey cros87by,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes Match. The following resource may provide a solution:

Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

Why wont my iPod 4G camera function properly, and how do I fix it?

So, my older sister used to own this iPod 4G but then broke the screen on it, so she got a new iPod 5th generation instead, while my dad replaced the screen on the iPod 4G and gave it to me. Now, ever since the new screen was installed, both cameras would have horrifying quality or wouldn't work at all, because they're always flashing colors like blue, purple, and green, while the front camera might show almost everything in red. At first I thought it was because my sister dropped it on the concrete, but she acctually took a picture after it fell and everything was fine. I wanted to know if a wire might be loose, if it's just something wrong with the cameras themselves, or if my dad might've done something, and how can I fix it. I've already got two new camera that I might try to replace the old ones with, but first I need another oppinion wether or not its worth the risk of having no camera at all.

It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.
Since it both cameras it is likely not a problem with the logic board but still could be.

TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
We have tried different wifi / isp providers
rebuilding the mail database
accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
no change - send mail still does not go.
What should we do now?
What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
It was working fine, but now it is not.
It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
If IMAP...
Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

Why do my apps suddenly stop working and how do I fix it? I have storage avail 2gb & up to date with OS. Facebook, eBay, Netflix, TV apps, etc.

Why do my apps suddenly stop? I have plenty of storage 2gb & up to date with OS. Apps like Facebook, eBay, Netflix, TV apps, etc stop.

WWhen watching tv apps the screen shots freeze and voice off timing with picture. Yet my iPhone works fine so not internet connection.

Why is iTunes saying my iPod is corrupted and how do I fix it?

I got a new computer for work, downloaded iTunes and connected my iPod classic (20GB). I added a few songs to my library before I connected the iPod. Once connected, my iPod appeared but after trying to transfer music an error occured. iTunes stated my iPod was corrupted and it asked if I wanted to reset it, which would wipe my iPod clean.
I checked my Ipod's functionality and it was working fine. I tried connecting it to a couple other computers I use and it still worked fine. In the meantime, I uninstalled all of the iTunes programs and reinstalled everything. I connected the iPod again and the same problem occured.
I do not think I transferred any corrupted songs onto my iPod; it has been working fine. I really do not want to erase my iPod and start from scratch unless that is the only solution. I am just not sure why my iPod is not working with this specific computer...it is brand new! When I connect the iPod now, it appears sometimes but it always ends the same. The computer also asks if I want to scan the E drive (the drive the iPod is connected to).
Thoughts?

+The computer also asks if I want to scan the E drive (the drive the iPod is connected to).+
That it almost surely due to some security software/antivirus stuff that was installed by corporate.
Ask your IT folks about getting itunes running on this PC and make sure it's allowed by your company.

Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

Key Facts:
-I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
-It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
-It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
-It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
-I am running iTunes 11.0.4
-the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1. What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
After you get it updated see if syncs.

Why doesn't the iPod classic sync properly, and how do I fix it?

Notes
Before anyone mentions the lame suggestion of "Restoring", let me add that I have done that. Alot.
I'm pretty good with computers, so please get as nerdy as you want, just as long as you're only trying to help me.
This disscussion should only be about this particular problem, please refrain from posting you're problems to this (Make your own discussion).
If necessary, contact me via email if you need more information, or have other misc. questions or inqueries.

Additional Details
The iPod works fine after immediate restoration, however, after adding 500 or so songs it seems to quit responding and appears to terminate communications with computer while freezing iTunes. After fiddling around I usually grow tired and unplug it and iTunes quickly displays a message saying to restore the iPod, although it's unplugged... This happens everytime, so it's not a rare situation for me. I've tried repeatedly on two Windows computers and a brand new Mac.

It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.

Why is my 2009 macbook running soooooo slowly and how can I fix it?

My 2009 macbook pro is running slowly. By slowly I mean in everything it does, it takes a long time loading (eg. turning on, opening apps, surfing the web, streaming videos, etc.)
I used EtreCheck to generate an overview of the state of my mac. Below is a copy of EtreCheck's report, starting with a my description of the problem:
Problem description:
My mac is running SOOOO slowly. I think it might be a RAM problem, but a lot of the processes shown in the Activity Monitor under Memory are related kernel_task. It looks like Google uses a bunch, as well as Window Server, loginwindow, https://itunes.apple.com, all of which (less Google) are also kernel_task.

Why does my iPhone 4s stall when I turn on the sleep/wake button and how do I fix it

I was just wondering why my iPhone 4s stalls when I press the
Sleep/wake button? And how do I fix it?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

HT4085 i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7. did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7. did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure.

Lock/Unlock button on top of the phone does not work

So what would you like us other users to to about it? Do you really need us to tell you to bring the phone to Apple for replacement? If outside the warranty period, you'll pay $269 for the replacement.
