Does anyone have an idea what may be wrong with my iphone 4S?
My iphone 4S has started turning itself off completely. When I power it back up, it allows me to log in my code and when I push the enter button it turns itself completely off again. I am trying to decide if it can be fixed or should I just buy a new iphone? This AM it is working just fine??????
If anyone knows or has a guess as to what is wrong with it, I would appreciate your input.
Restore your phone, as described here:

DO NOT restore from backup, rather sync your content back to your phone. If doing this doesn't fix things, you most likely have a hardware issue.

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle? -
I cannot install iTunes updates as of today. Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?
The question apparently needs to be typed in twice... good work. Here it is again:
I cannot install iTunes updates as of today. Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?Is this a distinct issue from the 42404?
If so, are you getting an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.) -

Try posting this in the iPhone and iCloud forums as well and you will probably get more response from users of those programs.
Good Luck

My iPad2 has repeatedly refused to update to iOS7, whether connected to a PC or not. The error message indicates an unknown error has occurred, with error code 6. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? Many thanks.
Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

This afternoon I was used my iPhone 3G. I then put it aside (it was left on) for about an hour. When I went to use it again, nothing happens. The home button will not call up the lock screen. The lock button will not turn the phone on, off, or lock it. When I plug it into iTunes, it recognizes it to sync. Also if someone tries to call me it will ring on their end, but nothing on my end.
The iPhone is over two years old (purchased in April 2009), so it is out of warranty. Also, everything is up to date on the iPhone.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
Thank you in advance.
ShannonWhat iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
Please does anyone have any idea what might
Please does anyone have any idea what might have caused 'esc' in a circle to appear on the screen of an iBook running Tiger? Afraid I don't have any more detail than that at present - it's the in-laws and they're very new to computing.
I found what it was - they'd turned Speech Recognition on

After months of working OK Time Machine is reporting "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk". Anyone have any idea what's gone wrong?

Wierd!
I followed #C3 and loaded Time Machine Buddy, which was defnitely helpful, then deleted the file that the backup failed at, but after 3 more attempts I stopped deleting or excluding files as this wasn't improving the situation.
The recommendation is to exclude those files from being backed-up, not to delete them!
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required:
Yes, that's a bit misleading. It just means that will be done, if it's required, which it isn't on your backups.
I have no idea if anything actually was changed however just when I had given up and walked away, TM has started working after a week of failing.
It probably did find and fix something. Just for reference, Disk Utiltiy usually shows the progress and repair messages in the center part of the window, but often doesn't when repairing a sparse bundle on a network. You can see the messages at any time by clicking the Log icon in the toolbar, or select Window > Show Log from the menubar.
Anyway, glad it's sorted out! -
none of the aliases on my desktop of my Imac runninh OS 10.6.8 can be opened any more. However, I can start the aplications in my doc. Does anyone have any suggestions what could be wrong?
Thanks,

I am trying to watch a TV show on my ipad. The apps that would allow that Hulu, ABC, NBC..etc will not download. The buy box or free box is gray and does not respond? Other apps download fine. Does anyone have any advice?

Does anyone know what a question mark in a folder, or a NO symbol at startup means?
"OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs."
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If this doesn't work, it is likely that your HDD has failed, or is failing. -

Help...please?How old is this machine? If it's less than 90 days old you have 90 days of Free AppleCare coverage, call them! You will find the phone number in your manual. If it's out of AppleCare or you bought it used take it your local Apple Store or AASP to have it looked at. We don't have enough information to know what the problem might be. You can run some tests such as Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode 2-3x to see if it has any hardware errors. Beyond that it's really tough to say.
