4gen 20g will not turn on, light up, or connect

I recently bought a 4gen 20g iPod and today it was working fine. I took it with me a few places, and was listning to music. I got home, set it on my counter, and now it will not turn on, light up, or connect to a computer. It seems to be 100% dead. I have pushed all the buttons (the reset commands, menu buttons, etc.) my "lock" is not enabled, and the battery was half-way charged (although i have tried to turn it on while plugged in as well). Anyone got any ideas? tomarrow I leave for mexico at 4:30am PST and I'm going to be ****** if my iPod is broken.

My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger. However, when it's on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger/power source. However, when it is on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

My MacBook will not turn on and when I connect the charger it has a very dim light

I have just come back from holiday and went to turn on my MacBook, but it will not turn on
I connected my charger and the light is very very dim.
How do I resolve this? Will I end up losing all I have saved on it? Please help!!!

There may be something corrupted in the system, and a certain kind of reset may be able to help...

If that doesn't work, check instructions carefully and repeat if necessary, see about taking the computer to an Apple Store and try to call ahead for Genius appointment; or contact an authorized reseller with product specialists and service.
Some users ventured into their out-of-warranty macbooks to check the actual cables going from the battery compartment to the logic board, apparently some batteries unplug. Others you can't get into.
I see following post/link says several things, can't vouch for any except ^ the SMC reset support page above: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23996241#23996241 - Also, check the right side in this recent thread for links to similar topics.
{In order to make a backup at this late a date, you'd need power to the computer; enough to try & see if something as quaint as 'Target Disk mode' would work... If your Macbook is one with Firewire ports.}
•How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
With FW TDM, the failed computer can sometimes be powered up holding the T-key down, and a firewire icon would appear on the screen; then one could go about attaching or using a FW cable of correct type and connect it to another capable computer, then the failed computer's HDD would appear as an external drive. In the past, it was possible to clone or copy a drive from a computer that won't boot to another hard disk drive. Or at least copy stuff of that does not require the system to function along with the saved files.
Good luck & happy computing!

Emac will not turn on (lights flash)

today when i turned my eMac on it was fine then it said to shut off so i did. When i turnedi t back on the little white light just flashed
eMac G4 1.25ghz 512 mb of ram Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Hi patty b,
A couple of questions to clarify where you stand....
1. I notice that by your computer specs in your topic that you are running 10.0.x Is this correct? It just struck me as odd that an eMac 1.25 Ghz G4 would have 10.0.x installed and not at least 10.2. Jaguar. This can matter when troubleshooting your problem.
2. By your topic it sounds as if you experienced a Kernel Panic when "it said to shut off". When you tried to turn it back on you say that the "littel white light just flashed". Can you clarify? I assume you are referring to the power light on the front of the eMac? Would you say the the light is flashing or pulsing? I ask this as a pulsing light is indicative of the computer sleeping. You topic sounds more as if the light is rapidly flashing?
3. Can you let us know if you had (near the time of this occurence) changed anything in regards to your computer or system software? As well as you can remember can you remember what you were doing with the computer at the time? Such as having multiple/many applications open at one time.
All this info will build a better picture of the state of your computer then/now to help better troubleshoot.
best,

I have an ipod, it will not turn on unless it is connected to my computer. The battery is fully charged. HELP!

I have an ipod, it won
t turn on unless connected to my computer. It is fully charged. HELP!

If the iPod only works when connected to an external power source, that's a pretty good indication that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can choose to have Apple do the job for a flat fee, or you can send it to a third party repair service who might be a bit cheaper.
Here is Apple's repair pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Overall, in my opinion, it might just be more worth it to invest in a newer one when it comes to the iPod Shuffle and dead batteries.

My iPhone 4 just turned itself off and will not turn back on, won't connect to iTunes either, can anyone help

Have you tried resetting your phone?
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

MacBook will not turn on, quite clicking sound when connected to power

I cleaned my MacBook with a damp cloth and now the MacBook will not boot. the first time I turned it on after I cleaned it. it turned on and the screen came on the grey apple loading screen, went away for a minute when I came back it had turned itself off.
Now when I press the power button it will not do anything at all, nothing turns on it is as it is dead. I have left it outside in the sun for a couple of days incase any water got into the machine but it still will not turn on.
When I connect the power cord to the MacBook the is a faint clicking sound coming from it.
This machine is about 3 years old so it is out of warranty.
Any suggestions to what it could be ?

This same thing just happened with mine - the clicking sounds like it's coming from the left speaker. I tried an smc reset and also took a look at the logic board to look for anything I might notice. What was the outcome for you - any info would be very helpful!

HT4528 My IPhone 4 will not turn on. The battery has charge in it, I used it once this morning and now less than 30 minutes later it won't turn on, completely dead.

I have an IPhone 4, its less than a year old. Without warning it won't turn on. I used it less than 30 minutes ago, the battery has charge in it, but the phone will not turn on. I tried connecting the charge lead but it still won't turn on.

Have you try to hard reset your phone? Holding both power and home button until the apple logo appears on screen.
Hope this advice may help you.

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

Blue screen on c7280 all in one reads b851fe84. lights flicker on and off. will not turn off.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One printer. Operating system is Windows XP. This has happened sporadically over several months. A few weeks ago, I inserted new ink cartridges and that seemed to stop the problem. Now, it has returned. The on/off button will not turn the printer off. The photo-menu, print photos, auto answer, on/off button, plus a light near the card slots all blink on and off. The PhotoSmart Express displays a blue screen with B851FE84 written on it. On occasion, I have received other blue screen messages but they appear for just a second or two. I believe one earlier today was B01B17FC but it only appeared for a second or two so it may not be correctly recorded.

I cannot get my Iphone 5S to connect to my Bose Soundlink III, the blue light will not turn white.

I have a Bose Soundlink III and have had no problems connecting to my Iphone until the past three or four days. It will not connect and the blue Bluetooth button will not turn white. I have done everything it says to do in troubleshooting the Soundlink and it does exactly what it is suppose to do, except light changing and connecting. My phone shows Bose SLIII and it says it is discoverable. If I touch the the Bose SLIII area it keeps saying Connection Unavailable and to check that it is turned on and in range. Any suggestions??

Or just try off>>on with Bluetooth on iPhone works for me when my Bose "play up"
