My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?

There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally. It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix. Do search on something like "Home button won't work". It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key. Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s. You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.

My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. Help?

My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. I have tried several times to get it past this point but tnothing helped.
I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
Any help is much MUCH appricated.

I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.

I watched a video on my iphone, and it worked fine.
I wanted to watch it on our MacBook for sound and clarity, and every time I accessed it, it locked up. To the point that the only solution was holding down the power button.
Everything else worked, and I could freely enter information and open other Facebook entries, but when hitting the "play" button or clicking on the video it immediately bought up the spinning beach ball, and would never clear. Any solutions?

Did you try viewing the video in a different browser? Firefox or Chrome maybe?

My phone went blank. It still had 41% battery life. I have tried to reset by holding down the sleep button and botton on top until the Apple Icon appears but then after that, nothing. Any ideas?

I had just checked my phone and it had 41% battery life left. A few minutes later, it simply went blank and won't do anything. I tried reseting it by pushing down on the wake/sleep button and the button on top until the Apple logo appeared, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

After we installed a new airport extreme, the imac running snow leopard displays black box msgs saying to hold down the power button and or the reset button and then restart your computer. Can anyone provide info that can help resolve this issue?

Experiencing similar issues on both imac and power book: after replacing an original airport extreme with a new airport extreme both computers display a black box msgs that reads: "...turn off your computer by holding down the power button and or the reset button for a few seconds and then restart your computer."...
one of the printers are usb'd to the imac. The printer is not "seeing" the imac nor will it print wireless from the powerbook which was the norm prior to the upgrade on the airport extreme.
Upon restart, the imac does not "see" the wireless keyboard or the mouse until it is "found" again.
At this time the imac or the powerbook can get on line.

It sounds like your computer is getting Kernel Panics. Please look at About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages and if the message seen on your display is like the one in the link then you have confirmed you had a KP. KP's can be tough to track down because they can be caused by software or hardware. The first place to start is to post the complete crash log so we can look at it, often there are clues in the log. You can find it at:

My apps on my iPod touch only open for a second then close, I tried the reset option of holding down the power button for ten seconds still no apps that I have down loaded will open just the one that are on the iPod like music app store whether time etc.

My apps on my I pod touch will not open. They start to load for one second close down. I tried holding down the power button to reset it. And that didn't work. Is the only option is to delete all apps and then reload them?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod. Again, say "yes."

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) Then try the update again.

My ipad was playing music then just shut off, it won' t turn back on and the battery was not dead. Never happened before, what do i do?

I was playing music and all the sudden my ipad turned off and will not turn back on.THe batterie was at 80% and this has never happened before, it still won't turn on even when charging
WHat do i do?

Does a Reset work? Mostly unlikely! [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

IPhone 5 turns off randomly, won't turn back on until I plug it in

This has happened a few times, just starting about a week ago. I bought my iPhone 5 brand new the day it came out, now every once in a while it will turn off even if the battery isn't dead. The home and power buttons don't do anything and it won't turn back on until I plug the phone in. When I do this, it says my battery is dead for a few seconds, then it will go back to whatever % it was at before shutting off. How do I fix this?

Same thing has been happening to me- SO FRUSTRATING. I've had it four days and it began on day two. I asked Apple & they told me to do the restore- but if there are still issues after doing that, I'll just opt for a new phone. I couldn't even get it to come on just now. The apple would pop up then it would shut off, over and over. Making an appt now.

I just did a software update from Apple for my Mac Book Pro and it crashed severely. Now it will not boot-up. I had the fading down screen with a message saying to hold down the on Button to reboot but it will not, it starts up with the same massage.

It also comes up with some and more of the info below, whatever it means?
Panic CPU 0 <Panic>
Unable to find perform kext scan:
Debugger called <Panic>
Can’t perform kext scan:
SD process name corresponding to correct thread
MAC OS Version:
Not yet set.
What do I do, can anyone help me?
I also updated a Mac Mini and iMac with no problems.

unfortunatly i had no Backups.
You should make sure to correct that as soon as possible. All computers, regardless of make and model, are ticking time bombs. Hard drives can die at any time, leaving you with an inert chunk of metal that may still contain your data, but in a form that is totally inaccessible without paying thousands to a company that will disassemble the drive in a clean room and read what data they can off the platters.
I wonder why should that happen. It was a simple update. Why should an update ruins all my works and my computer...
It is not the update itself, but the fact that you had corruption in your hard drive's data structures, and writing the thousands of files required by the updater worsened that corruption, damaging the system in the process. These problems can be avoided by repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility prior to installing any system update. Most likely, Disk Utility won't find anything to fix, but when it does, you'll be glad you did it before installing the update!

I have recently unlocked my iPhone 4. I got the comforation saying it was unlocked. For some reason I cannot access my network settings? Any suggestions. I am trying to use the phone on Net 10 network.

I recently unlocked my iphone 4. I am trying to use it on Net 10's network. However, i cannot access the network settings. I have the Net10 Sim already in it. A few notes listed below of what i have tried:
1.) I downloaded the iphone configuation utility. But cannot get the right settings to apply. (so if you have the correct ones i could use those)
2.) i have watched 1000 youtube videos and been on practically every page online and tried 1000 different versions of APN settings through the configuration
3.) I do not have another SIM card from another carrier to try.
Open to suggestions on how i can get the APN settings to change. Not worried about picture messaging or anything, but would like my internet to work. Calls and text work fine.

i have seen this option..problem being...i dont have access to WIFI i live in the middle of ten buck too! We cant even get internet out here i have to go a friend house to get internet. I was going to try that once i did get to town but was looking for other options here at home frist.

Iphone 5c turns itself off and won't turn on until plugged in

I just received my replacement iPhone 5c and it worked fine the first night, the next day, the phone turned itself off, and would not let me turn it back on. I tried the reset option by holding down the lock and the home buttons, but that did not work. my phone only turns on when it is plugged in. It then shows me that battery is lows, and then powers on ad says 100% charged.
My lower screen blinks while it is plugged in as well.....
Any help?

You might have a bad battery. But first try recalibrating the battery gauge. Run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off and doesn't restart. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger. Repeat the process. If the problem remains you need a new battery.

Try holding down the lock and home button together for about 15 seconds

IMac shut down suddenly and won't boot back up

This morning my iMac shut down suddenly. All I had open was Google Chrome and I was just on Facebook and that's it. When I tried to boot it back up, it wouldn't load past the startup sound, wherein it would appear to shut back down,or at the very least the screen would go black (my mouse has lights that stay on when the computer is on, and the light kept going on and off while the screen remained black). This was the case for at least a half hour until it suddenly booted itself back up all on its own. I had it on throughout the day, just browsing the internet and watching Youtube. It shut itself down twice during the day, and both times it restarted on its own right away after showing me a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar. Now it just shut itself down again and it won't make it past the progress bar screen - if it even makes it that far, sometimes it shuts off right after it makes the startup sound. It keeps trying to boot up on its own over and over again, but it keeps shutting down right away. All the fixes I've searched for so far require a computer that actually boots up all the way so I don't think I could run any reports if I tried!
I'm running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2?).
Model number A1311
Not entirely sure what specs are useful to know so I'm just gonna write some of what's on the box it came in:
3.2 GHz Intel i3 processor, 4MBshared level 3 cache
4GB of 1333MHz DDR SDRAM
1TB serial ATA hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics processor with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory
Bought it around fall of 2010. Not sure if it's worth trying to get it fixed (I live nowhere near an Apple store) or if I should just get a new computer, but I would like to know what's wrong, if possible.

Try to boot into the Recover Partition by holding down the Command + R keys on startup. If it still won't boot then the HD has probably crashed. The is likely a AASP in your area, you can locate one by clicking AASP Locator, take it to one to be professional diagnosed. If it's only the HD, assuming you have been backing up, restoring to a new HD is pretty simple.
