    Try the remaining items of:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • After forgetting the password for my iPhone, I am trying to restore it through iTunes, however, during the process, the phone keeps turning on and asking for the password, thus canceling the process. Any advice?

    After forgetting the password for my iPhone, I am trying to restore it through iTunes, however, during the process, the phone keeps turning on and asking for the password, thus canceling the process. Any advice?

    Yes, you will still get the prompt.
    I meant reset then try the recovery mode restore again.
    You can also try DFU Mode.
    DFU (Device Firmware Update) Mode is different than Recovery Mode.
    DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot bootloader.
    DFU Mode:
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
    Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
          NOTE: Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present. Be patient, it make take several trys.

      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS turn off and on after few minutes

    My iphone 3 GS has been turned off for a week. Now when I use it it turns off and on (by itself) every few minutes.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

    My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas.  It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode.  I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen.  I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...

  • My iPhone 3gs sudden turned off and after a few hard resets, and plugged in over night... still nothing. What else can I do?

    The phone was not dropped or wet, but jut went off, it's charged all night and still after a few hard resets it will not switch on? is it dead?

    Sounds like you need a new battery. My 3GS got the point of just turning off rather than shutting itself down properly so I knew due to the age of the phone it was the battery.
    I got an ebay battery replacement for £12 + a set of tools for the job for about £4.
    But please note relpacing the battery is not for the faint hearted!

  • Wifi stops working and need to toggle off and on a few times each day

    got new spectre x360 a week ago, and each day since I have had to toggle the wifi off and back on a few times throughout the day to get it to work again.  no issues with any other devices in the house.
    anyone else having similar issue?

    @jjohnston_hp ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  To answer your question.  Yes.  I have the same problem or at least I did.
    I found out that when I came home I would have to turn my wireless on and off to toggle connection.
    I worked out that the fact that my android phone,  Ipad and other computer where the issue.
    The router did not allow a solid connection due to the location of the other wireless devices.
    I ended up having to move my router further away to make it happy.
    Here is a link though for troubleshooting wireless.
    Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8)
    Try turning off all your other wireless devices for a few hours and let your notebook be the one and only.
    Let me know how the connection is.
    Thank you again for posting.  My notebook is not the same as yours but same problem.
    Have a great day.

  • My iphone 4s froze last night and won't do anything.  I have iOS7, my power button is not working, so I can't reset my phone.  I've tried to restore through iTunes, but it's telling me to turn off find my phone. I can't do that if my phone does nothing

    I've tried all that I know how to do.  My power button quit working awhile ago so I use the Assistive Touch to lock my screen.  Once my phone froze, the screen went black.  The only thing I can do now on my phone is hold down the home key and Siri will beep but she says "not taking requests at this time, try again later."  I can't reset my phone without the power key or the Assistive Touch button.  I've tried plugging into iTunes to restore the phone but I get an error message to first go to Settings in my phone and turn off "find my iPhone."  I can't do that either as nothing will come up on my screen.

    Make sure iTunes is up to date and try again.

  • My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

    MY Ipod touch frequently turns on and off please help!!!

    Try connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and restoring the iPod.
    If you can't restore, see if resetting the iPod will allow a restore:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore.  For recovery mode see:
