Got an iphone 4s for christmas.  having problem with it shutting off even with fully charged battery.  will not come back on nor can it respond to charger.  next day usually comes back on then does same thing over again.

Perhaps you got a bad iPhone. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service center.

  • Got white iphone 6 for christmas want the black 6.. is there a way to pay a small amount and get the phones swapped over?

    got white iphone 6 for christmas want the black 6.. is there a way to pay a small amount and get the phones swapped over? thanks

    Depending on where the iPhone was purchased, you may be able to
    return it for $/credit and then buy the color you prefer. If past the
    return window the seller allows, use a case like Briansyddall suggested above.

  • I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?

    I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working perfectly. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?
    Where does the imovie.library reside? where do the events and projects reside?

    Hi winkydb,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not see the events or clips you were working with previously, first see if you can switch back to the library you were using with this method:
    Show or hide the Libraries list
    You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
    To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
    The default location for iMovie libraries is the Movies folder in your home folder.

  • IPhone 5 shuts down even when it's on the charger

    My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down even when it has full battery. It doesn't last more than 2 minutes on and that's when I am able to turn it on. When I connect it to the charger sometimes it just flashes the apple continuously. I noticed that when it's on sometimes it doesn't connect to the Wi-Fi and I have no signal it just says searching.  It just started doing all this 3 days ago, befire that it worked perfectly fine. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?

    Probably a bad battery. See if it qualifies for replacement: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support

    Same problem for me.
    1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
    2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
    3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
    Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!

  • Ever since I updated to 7.0.4 my iPhone 5 keeps shutting down even when I have 40 or 50% battery life

    This has happens about twice or three times a day. The last time when I took a photo it shut down even though I had 49% battery. When I tried to restart it I got the connect to a power source icon. Then if I wait a few mins I can restart ok and it then shows the battery level as it was before. Has anyone else had this problem? or know what is wrong and how to solve it. Thanks

    Hey RichardNWhite,
    Thanks for the question, and detailed information. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Iphone reboots/shuts down even when plugged in

    Here are the specs:
    iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4, 16gb, GSM
    I've never had any big problems with this phone while using it, but today it randomly shut down, so I thought it might be a battery information glitch, because it has happened with a different iPhone of mine. So, I connected my phone to electricity, it turned on and stayed like that for a while (I had fully charged the phone a few hours ago) and it showed 94% of battery left, which is quite normal. The odd thing was, that it was searching for carrier and it was impossible to turn wi-fi on, the button was not responding. So I went ahead and rebooted the phone, still had the same issue. While still connected to the charger, the phone suddenly died again, showed low battery and turned on again. After a minute or two, the same thing happened again and after another reboot - again, again and again. I tried to reset the settings, still no carrier and still rebooting, even while charging. I tried completely erasing data and settings, but it was impossible to do that, because it asks for the iCloud password. Since it cannot be connected to the internet, there is no way for me to do that. When unplugging the phone, it dies in the same second. Next, I tried connecting the phone to my computer, but I can't even get it to turn on for a minute, because it reboots all the time after a few seconds (doesn't get enough power through the usb, I guess). Tried DFU mode, still no success. While connected to the computer, iTunes won't show the device connected to the computer.
    So, there is no way to update the OS through the phone, because there is no way I can connect it to the web, resetting the settings won't do a thing, completely erasing the phone is impossible, because it cannot be connected to the internet, impossible to connect to a computer, because it reboots all the time, so no way to restore the phone. Basically, I can't really do anything with it.
    I searched all over the internet for a solution, but couldn't find a single article about an issue like this. Is there anything that comes up in your mind, that might help? If so, please post an answer.

    Oh, forgot to mention. No, it's not jailbroken.

  • I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

    Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • IPhone 5 shuts down even when battery is not empty

    My iPhone shuts down evenw hen i have over 10% battery life left, it even turns off when i walk into a building after walking outside in the cold weather. It's extremelly frustratin as i can no longer rely on my phone as it can turn off any time of the day. What do i do

    I have the exact same problem .. sometimes when I use my camera, with plenty of juice, it just shuts down and won't restart claiming the battery is dead ... I plug it in and instantly there is the plenty of juice it had before .. not dead at all... sometimes it happens when I am just using an app ... pretty random actually but VERY inconvenient.
    I have always boasted about my iphone being reliable and not having any weird issues ( as opposed to my friends who have Windows phones or other ones) but now ... THIS !!!!??
    ...... I have resorted to carrying one of those back up batteries in my pocket and a charging cable in my car ...
    very inconvenient but until THEY FIX the problem, I can't trust my phone 
    It is too frequent a problem and occuring with too many people under same conditions to consider it being a battery or phone issue ... whether Apple recognizes it as an OS situation or not .... I do !!!
    FIX IT PLEASE !!!

  • I have my macbook pro for a while now and all of sudden it just started shutting down randomly when my battery had enough life in it and only works and comes back on when I put it on the charger. Do I need to replace my battery?

    I have a MacBook Pro
    Keeps completely shutting down all the time when its fully charged and at random times when it is at 65% for example
    Do I need to get a battery replacement? Or do I have a virus?
    PLEASE HELP

    Sudden power-down is most often caused by overheating. The fans in a Mac are controlled by software that measures temperatures at several points inside the computer, and increases the fan speeds when temperatures are rising. You should get it checked to be sure the fans  are working as expected. Your appointment for an evaluation at the genius Bar at an Apple Store is free, in warranty or out.
    Battery shortage will generally cause your MacBook to warn you, then go to sleep.
    Your symptoms do not correspond with any know Viruses.
