try turning it off and then starting it up again. if you cant get it to work, try to get a tune off of the internet, or if you have a piano, use it to tune to sound. oh, and by the way, guitar strings "stretch" so its going to be out of tune the next couple of times you play. try giving them a gentle tug while tuning them, it helps speed up the stretching. IM me if you need anymore help. good luck!

It's up to you. You can change the one string which will sound brighter than the older strings but if the strings were installed recently, changing the one string won't make a big difference. If the strings have been on the instrument for a while, it's probably a good idea to put on a new set.

Yes, it sounds like the gears are stripped inside the tuning key, it's going to have to be replaced!!

I think you should change that tuning machine, and if that one is bad, others are too, so I'd just buy all 6 by Grover or Gotoh or Schaller - check out musiciansfriend.com, they're not expensive.

it's an endless screw,
try to detune a little and retune, force a little but not too much

never had that prob. with my guitar. I would take it to your local instrument shop and get it looked at.
