    my iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

    I'm experiencing the same issue. It's one thing to have to re-power up but to not be able to do so without plugging in the charger when the battery is substantially full, is a real drag.

  • IPhone 5 shut down and won't turn back on

    My phones screen turned a blue/greenish color and shut down and will not turn back on :(

    I'm having the same issue with my iPhone5.  It just started yesterday afternoon.  The "hard reset" as you suggested worked once.  However, it shut down again only one hour later.  It didn't turn on (even with the hard reset) for three hours when the hard reset worked again.  I hooked it up to iTunes and restored my phone and thought that it would fix the issue.  But after being on for about two hours, my screen got vertical lines then turned green and shut off again.  I haven't been able to turn it back on no matter what I do all night and all day today.
    It doesn't matter that the phone is plugged in or have 100% battery power.  It just won't turn on again.
    I have an appointment at my local Apple Genuis Bar, but I'm not sure what they can do as I'm not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

  • My iPhone 5s has just shut off and won't turn back on. Please help?

    I was just chatting on a app and the phone just froze, went to a white screen with the apple trade mark. Then it completely shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I tried charging it and it still won't turn back on.

    Thanks for the advice but I've tried this it hasn't worked. I've held down both buttons together for more than a minute. Do I have to hold them down longer than this?

  • Hi everyone, so I was on my MacBook Pro 10 mins ago and it all of a sudden shut down and won't turn back on? I haven't had it backed up for a while now but does anyone know what could have possibly happened and if it will affect my hard drive?

    My MacBook Pro 13inch won't turn on? It randomly shut down itself and won't turn on!!? Will it affect my back up? Hard drive disk? Because it has all my work and personal things I really need on there! Please if anyone can help me!!

  • MacBook randomly shut down, and won't turn back on

    First of all, hello. Secondly, I've got a problem with my MacBook: about half an hour ago, it randomly shut down and when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. Instead, the backlight kept flickering at the tempo that something inside the computer was "clicking", and the longer I held the power button, the more "clicks" there were. Needless to say, I've tried charging the battery, resetting the SMC, and to no avail: I still can't power it up, even when I don't use my battery. Whether I use it or not, the MacBook still "clicks" during my pressing of the power button and stops "clicking" when I release it. My MacBook is a year old. Can someone help me out here?

    Me too. Any resolution? I don't want to take it to my local apple place because they're retards, but according to the info on my warranty that's the only place available. Can't believe they don't have an RMA service direct to Cupertino, what a joke.

  • My iPhone 4 randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

    My iPhone randomly shut down whenever I got a phone call twice in maybe 5 minutes. Now it wont turn on no matter how many times I plug it in or use the home and lock button. Is there anything I can do? After the first time it just turned back on but now it won't.

    I just had this happen. Hold the lock and home button down for ten seconds.

  • My iPhone 5c has just completely shut down and won't turn back on I've only had it 3 days

    My iphone5c has just completely shut off, I've tried turning it back on and nothing. I've only had it 3 days

    Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them fix it.
    I had a similar issue when I was syncing a friend's iPhone (I don't own one) in that the machine shut down when the iPhone was plugged in. But I was able to reboot. A lot of people seems to have the problem that you describe, however.

  • IPhone shut down and won't turn back on

    Hello everyone,
    I've been enjoying my iPhone for quite some time and recently used the iPod function and docked the iPhone to my iPod Hi-Fi sound system...suddenly the screen goes all white and the phone shuts down. I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't budge, i've attached it to the charger for about 4 hours now and still nothing. I've tried the home and power button reset but that didn't do anything...If anyone knows what's going on here, please let me know. Thanks for lookin!

    If you have charged it directly to the USB on your computer, and not on a hub the only thing that I can surmise is that it is down beyond repair.
    You cannot reset since there is no lock.
    I suggest you take it to the nearest Apple Store or AT&T Store, wherever you bought the phone and see where that leads. Of course you can also call AppleCare.

  • My MacBook suddenly shut down and won't turn back on - how do I get it to turn back on?

    My MacBook suddenly shut down after freezing up and I cannot get it to turn back on again.  I tried the suggestions in the manual and none of them worked to turn it back on. Is there something I am not doing correctly?  The little green light on the charger connector is green but not as bright as normal, it was charged by over 70% before it shut down, so I do not think it is a battery problem.  Is there anything I can do to turn it back on?  Thank you for any help given, I really appreciate it.

    If it won't bong, then try an SMC reset.

  • My iPod Touch randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

    This has happened before so i know what to do, BUT, my main menu button has been broken for a month so I just shut down my iPod to get out of apps. But, now since it won't turn on and I can't reset it, how do I fix it?

    Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Where it says place the iPod in recovery mode, use this program:

    If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • MacBook 13" aluminium shuts down and won't turn back on, please help.

    Hi there. I have a MacBook from early 2009 the aluminium one running snow leopard 10.6.1.
    Yesterday it shut down automatically, just went black. I plugged it to power and turned it back on after 10 minutes it shut down again. After this it was difficult to turn back on. I would hear half the chime just when you press the power button then it would shut down. After several attempts it would eventually start only to shut back down after 5-10 minutes. I installed a widget to monitor temperature and they were all around 40 degree Celsius. I had much difficulty getting it to start so I tried to start then holding down command, option, r, p and let it chime 4-5 times. After this I now get a kernel panic mis-match between kernel and cpu. I've tried to boot from dvd but the computer shuts down before it fully boots up ....sigh.... Would anyone have an idea of what the problem is or what I can do?? I tried to upgrade to 10.6.4 and then upgrade firmware but it would always shut down before the installation was complete.

    Thanks for the reply
    Yes I also assume it is some hardware issue. The temperature readings where 35-45 degrees. I read somewhere on apple webpage that there was an issue with the heatsink on some 13" MacBook, but the heatsink temp readings was around 40 degrees. And even if the laptop has been off for the night and cooled down, it still won't start. I guess I have to see the guys at apple store.

  • Macbook pro - was doing my work and black screen appeared, shut down, and won't turn back on
