My iPad just shut off won't turn back on;(

Help! My iPad just shut off wont charge or come back on? Whhaaaaa

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IMac Shut Off - Won't Turn Back On (Fully)

So, last night I was using my last-iteration iMac and it randomly shut off. I tried to power it back on... and it wouldn't. I then felt the back of the case and it was very hot. I figured it was an overheating issue, but now it won't turn back on. When I hold down the power button, it begins to start up and I can hear it "clicking" then it shuts down. It restarts itself, and I can hear a very low hum. Something is running inside of it, and the disc drive will spin if I put a disc in, but it's not turning on fully. I tried several different troubleshooting techniques with the main problem being nothing will appear on the monitor so a few of them are out of reach. I also tried booting to the boot disc and, again, nothing will appear on the screen. I did the one power reset which caused my fans to blow loudly and I had to, again, fix that, but... yeah. It starts up, shuts itself off, starts back up and something works but I can't tell what is whirring in there. The computer is only about six months old, but I didn't take out the Apple Care so I'm extremely frustrated, as it is well-cared for and this issue seems extremely random. Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide help.

Hi Jonathan
Your iMac is warranteed for the first year so you are covered. Applecare extends that to three years but in your case you didn't need to buy it to cover this issue. Call apple and make an appointment to bring it in.

My iPhone 4 shuts off, won't turn back on until connected to computer.

The phone is fully charged but won't turn on despite holding the home and top button for up to 30 seconds.
This started yesterday, where I noticed that the phone would shut off at 70% battery and not turn back on. I connected it to my computer and the Apple logo pops up, and after a few seconds (sometimes a few minutes) it goes back to the normal home screen.
So I completely reset the phone to factory settings and the phone seemed to be fine for an hour, to an hour and a half, until I stopped using it. I looked at the phone maybe 10 minutes later, and it was back to being dead again.
I charged it fully overnight again, and when I unplugged the phone and walked away briefly and came back, it was off again.
Any ideas, beside trying to reset it again? The battery life has been bad lately, so I was thinking of buying a new battery anyway, but if its not just a battery issue, then its not worth buying the battery.
Thanks.

More info:
I plugged it in again earlier today after coming across the same problem and it briefly flashed the "no power" symbol before rolling over to the Apple logo and starting up to 100%. So I would guess its battery-related?

My ipod touch 4th generation just shut off and wont turn back on

Computer randomly shut off, won't turn back on

Ok so a basic run down of what happened.
I was using my email (I had itunes, transmission, ichat, safari running) and my computer (purchased december of last year) turned off. I waited 5 minutes wondering what happened, thought the outlet might be faulty or something, unplugged and plugged it into the outlet above it.
Pressed the power button, turned on, worked fine.
For three hours. Then it did it again, surfing safari; same programs running. Unplugged it, thinking it blew out or something (I live in an older house). Plugged it in to another outlet 3 feet away. Turned on, worked fine - Continued on my merry way.
3-5 Hours later, same deal. Only this time, I'd run out of nearby outlets. Double checking, and a bit confused I tried plugging something else into the outlet and... It works. Retried plugging in the computer... It doesn't work. It does however make the disc-sound when I press the power button. Nothing afterwards.
The only trouble I've had thus far is with Boot Camp/Vista. I had Vista installed via Boot Camp and it worked fine but no longer needing it, I unistalled the partition. Upon restarting the computer I go straight to a black screen that tells me to insert the windows disc, but that could be avoided by using option on start up.
I appreciate any help or advice offered, I'm calling apple right after this is posted and I realize I will likely have to take it in to a store.
Worth a shot though, just in case.

The problem you describe is reportedly caused by a bad power supply, in which case you will need to have it repaired. You should contact AppleCare or take it to an Apple Store.

My Ipod touch 4g, 8g, just shut off and wont turn back on idk whats wrong with it, and it wont get recognized by itunes when plugged in... does nothing when i hold the power button.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

My 8520 just cpmpletely shut off and wont turn back on.

It had enough battery power but just shut off and wont turn back on, even after charging. I tried to remove the battery and put it back, still nothing, only the red light indicator is steadily on. What needs to be done to restore the device?
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try leaving it on the charger yet doing nothing with it for at least 2 hours. Then try to power it on.
Good luck and let us know!

We really can't tell you what happened, but you can get your iPad up again, by rebooting:
Hold the power and home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple logo appears, let go of both buttons and your iPad will come back to life.

Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

& it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!
