Hello there, Kyle.Kuz.
The following Knowledge Base article that provides some helpful pointers to help resolve your issue is:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically:
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 LCIsand 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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

Hello,
Can anyone please shed some light on how I can run MS Office and Meta Trader 4 platform on mac air. I have been using Play on Mac and Wine for the past couple of weeks, but now suddenly it has stopped working, only crashing and giving me nightmares. Is it juts best to install the latest Windows or Parallel?
Regards JoeMeta Trader 4 is Windows only - Office is available for the Mac and Windows and are mostly compatible but given that you'll be doing online trading you may prefer the Windows version of Excel since there are financial spreadsheets with macros that only run on the Mac with some significant editing.
You can install Windows 7 or 8 in BootCamp or any version of Windows usting virtualization. VMWare and Parallels are commercial programs and VirtualBox is open source. VB may be all you need. Whatever solution you choose, you'll need a commercial version of Windows (or get an OEM disc from NewEgg). -
To say that I am livid would be the greatest understatement EVER made in the ENTIRE history of the planet. Last night my iPhone 5 decided it would go into Recovery Mode. (That is.....a Black screen showing the iTunes logo, a white 'up' arrow and with the white cable/plug at the bottom of the screen).
(Hold onto your Samsung Galaxys people - do NOT throw/give them away when you 'update (yeh right) to an iPhone).
So I turned it off and left it off all of last night. I arrived at work this morning to 'sync/restore' it with my computer where it asked me to install the latest version of 'whatever it is the latest version of.' HOWEVER, as I do not have the administrative rights to do such things on my work computer, I was unable to do so and now I have been riding the 'Apple Merry-Go-Round' since 0630hrs (WAST). It comes up with the following message in a window on the screen:-
'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14).'
Gee - thanks for that - I'd never have known unless I saw that little window!!!! The fact that my screen has frozen and I am unable to install, sync or restore anything kind of gives it away!!!
'Just go to the nearest Apple Store' I hear you say. That is a 'tad' hard as I work in The Pilbara Region of North West, Western Australia (for 4+ weeks at any one time) and won't be back in 'civilisation' until next Monday week (10th of Feb, 2014)........Talk about being held to ransom by technology!! I have asked other people at work (who ALL have iPhones) and when I showed them the screen (& the whole ridiculous process) they screwed their faces up as they had never seen such a thing. Some people NEVER get asked to update/install anything on their phones.....So, I have to wonder why mine 'asks me'.......constantly.
I fear that my 'Apple' is not an apple but that it is actually a 'Lemon.'
Hey 'Apple' - don't let me get a hold of you!!
Oh yeh - the opening hours actually say Sun 10:00am til 4:00pm or even 6:00pm in some places.......how convenient - when you call (them on their landline FROM a landline) you get the engaged signal!Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474. -
still running adobe cs2 on leopard. but now get unexpected quit msg. and wont launch. any chance that when i installed then uninstalled GENIEO yesterday something went wrong? how to fix? can i reinstall cs2 from original discs? bystephenftlaud
Hi,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2. -

WHen I connect my iPhone 5C to my laptop containing my iTunes Library, nothing happens for a couple of minutes and then I get an error message saying phone timed out. Can anyone shed any light on this problem please?
Hi 23Orchard,
If your iPhone is timing out when connected to your computer, it sounds like a connection issue.
Please try the things listed in
iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254
Where one of the errors it addresses is
An alert messages indicates "iPhone has timed out" during syncing.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Can anybody shed some light on this? Replacement iphone activation issue
I'm on an orange france contract and recently had a faulty iphone 3g black 16gb replaced by apple.
When I put my original sim into the new iphone and connect up to itunes 8 I get the following message:
'The sim card inserted into this iphone does not appear to be supported'
The iphone is runnning 2.1 firmware.
The sim card worked perfectly in my old iphone 3g and works when put into other mobiles.
I've had a replacement SIM card without any luck and have even tried with another brand new
unactivated iphone. When i put the sim card in an already activated iphone it works fine. I've tried
restoring the firmware and tried activating it on other pc's and macs.
Does anybody have any ideas? Both orange and apple are completely stumped.MonkeyPuzzle I have exactly the same issue but with an O2 (Apple's Carrier in UK) sim and replacement iphone 3G phone. Neither O2 or Apple can understand what is the cause. I have had three sim cards, changed tarif and now have a second iphone 3G from Apple which I've purchased from them as a loan to establish if the previous replacement has a hardware issue. Unfortunately I am experiencing the same issue with the second phone. I will keep pressing Apple and O2 for a solution although am beginning to feel this is a wider issue. Please would you post any updates you get from Orange FR and Apple

Please can someone shed some light on what I should do, new to the mac
Hi all
I am looking to purchase a mac, with final cut pro 2. I want all the feature of FCP2 to work smoothly on my mac, so the system requirements need to be up to scratch!
Does anyone have a super smooth running mac with FCP2 on it? If so, how much would it cost to put this mac together? Any help woudld be great!
JohnnyHow much experience to do you have editing and what are your goals? Is this a business? A hobby? How much do you want to spend?
If you are serious ...
MacPro 2.66 min 3.0 better 8 core not really nec yet. get 4GB RAM with the 4 core machines - 8 GB with the 8 core, to run motion you'll need the x1900 video card.
Fill the bays with 500GB drives
Get an Apple 23" Cinema Display or the HP 2407. Get two if you can.
Get a Kona LHe HD card to drive your external PAL monitor. It will also allow you to convert incoming HDV to ProRes422 on the fly.
A good set of near field audio speakers for mixing.
You'll need a tape deck for the appropriate formats you want to shoot as well as a mixing board to route audio.
A good chair. A very good chair. You'll spend a lot of time in it.
Cost -
Figure at least $4,000 US for the computer, ram and drives/ ~ $1500 for computer monitors/~$1600 for the Kona/ a few hundred to thousands for an external pal monitor/ several hundred for the near field speakers/ $5-600 or so for the mixer/ at least $1500 for a DV/HDV tape player / and on and on.
However, before you spend a penny, go intern with someone or a station that does post production. It may save your life.
Good luck.

I recently aquired an iPhone 4S, perfectly fine, around 2 months old. everything is working fine, and all apps and music are downloaded on to iTunes and WERE origionally on the iPhone. I started to then add more songs from iTunes, though the phone started refusing to download them and then the majority of my collection were then deleted. I did origionally think that this was simply because it could not find the location of all the music files, though upon searching i found that iTunes could indeed fine every single file, and that they all played perfectly well in iTunes. I did reset the phone and try simply re-installing the exact same storage pre-reset, though it simply made all of the songs like that. The iPhone (4S, 32GB, 4 month old) did have around 900 songs on it, all playing fine, though recently the number on iTunes is around 1240, though I don't want all the songs on.
It is not that I am incapable of understanding the software of iTunes or of the iPhone, and I have had previous Apple products and also had interaction with various models (iPhone 5/5C/5S) and Android, so it this is where it stumps me on what the actual problem is.
I have tried doing things like:
Reseting the phone
Making an individual playlist with all of the songs that I want on my phone
Downloading Albums/Artists/songs/playlists individually (as to rule out if it is a specific artist/song/so on
Downloading everything and then trying to get iTunes to download the actual song directly
When updating/syncing my options on the Music tap on iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in, it registers on iTunes that the every song that I have ticked to be included in the sync has been synced, though upon checking my iPhone on the music app, the majority of the music will either have failed to sync or not be there, or be registered but unplayable (the title of the song is slightly transparent/grey). Then upon inspection of the [Settings>General>About>Songs], the count does not equate to that which is stated on iTunes.
Any help will be appreciated as soon as possible, as my iPhone is used for music a significant amount of the time and the loss of around 700 songs off of my phone is quite significant.
Bearing in mind that I am only 16 years old and have no actual IT knowledge in-depth of what is actually occuring other ethan what the consumers can see through such things as the settings and the location of files and their formats, I would be appreciative if any explanation wouldn't end up being too confusing, nor it being patronising (for instance, my ignorance of how to download music to iTunes)
Thanks, atsdkgI have help for you!!!
I had EXACTLY the same issue recently. What I had to do on my PC was go into the My computer section> click on my C drive> click on users> click on my username> go into music and then iTunes> Here you should see something that says iTunes Library. Make sure that iTunes is Closed and then take the iTune library and drag it onto Your desktop. This will create a copy on the desktop but iTunes will not see it. Reopen iTunes and you should see an option to scan for media. Once you do this iTunes should re-build your iTunes library and It should be able to sync. If it syncs fine and all your content is available go to the iTunes library that you dragged to the desktop and delete it as you should not have a new one. If this does not work absolutley do NOT delete the iTunes library that is on the desktop.
Call Apple and let them know of the steps you have taken and request some help. This should fix it though! -
I cant coonect it to the computer because the iphone keeps resetting itself and the restore or activation cannot be completed. Do I just need to get a new iphone? I have a 3gs and dont want to get a new iphone. Also the iphones sim card wont work and I have tried to do a hard reset mutiple times.
Sounds like your phone was jailbroken. If it was, you will need to get another phone. That phone is permanently disabled.

I downloaded Adobe Reader and cannot open PDF files, can anyone tell me why? or what I need to do.
I am not able to open PDF files or documents. Why?
Here is my assessment, Claudio. I know you are revered among your peers and it's very obvious that you live on these forums. You have undoubtedly helped a lot of people and you will be rewarded in your afterlife for your endeavors here but here's a reality check for both you and Pat:
What lesson did D.Call learn from you? Likely the lesson was, don't post here or you'll be treated as an imbecile by some hotshot bitwhiz named Claudio Gonzalez.
Did you not see that D.Call said s/he was an inexperienced computer user… and was obviously asking for elementary level assistance? You were blinded by your belief that your knowledge and expertise is being wasted on anyone who isn’t forthcoming to your expectations. I merely pointed out that if you think it's such a waste of your time, why dwell? You should have left Graffiti to work with D.Call and headed off to another thread. Surely there were other posts requiring your extreme level of higher intelligence.
Think about this: You don't like it when someone talks down to you as I have here, now do you? No one does. Right now as you read this my guess is you are fuming and likely trying to think of a way to smite me. You can respond to this post in whatever tone or language you choose but I won't take offense. I’ll be the bigger man… I promise I won't reply so you can have the last word.
When you respond, see if you can take it up a notch and maybe even admit you made a mistake with your corkscrew remark. I don't think you would ever risk being so disrespectful to D.Call, and most certainly, not to me or anyone else if we were face-to-face. If you worked in my company, you would be fired for disrespecting my customers.
By the way, do you and Pat have spell check ability? If you do, you should use it.
