Help? my iphone 4 has shut off. i left it in the car all day but it didnt over heat or anything because it worked afterwards. but now it wont come back on. ive tried updating it, and holding down the home button. my lock button doesn't work.

i also tried hooking it up to the charger but nothing

Dear Ashley - Y'day, I had the same problem. Before shutting off the phone vibrated for a minute or two and then the phone stopped working. I tried restart, charge all through y'day but it did not work. However, I left the phone without charging over night and tried today morning - luckily, it started and prompted me to upgrade to 5.1.1, which I did. I too have posted a question for help if there is some bug to fix. Hope your phone will also work again. All the best.

I updated my ipad3 and now it wont come on. it just shothe itunes logo and none of the button works, it is not responding what do I do?

Hi

You are in recovery mode. Do what your iPad is telling, which is to connect your iPad to your computer via USB and open iTunes. This link will walk you through the steps, but be advised, it may take several attempts to make it work.

Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

I cannot access Siri using my iphone 5 earphones by pressing and holding down the center button on the earphones?

I cannot access Siri using my iphone 5 earphones provided with my phone. I press and hold down the center button on the earphones, but it doesn't activate Siri.

If you had checked the settings - you might have noticed that Siri isn't in the settings either. Siri is in the settings on the iPad 3, the iPad 4 and on the Mini.

My iphone 6 screen is black and is unresponsive to home key or lock button.

My iphone 6 screen is black and is unresponsive to home key or lock button. Phone is powered on and will ring, but no display. I have tried powering it off, but it will not respond. What do I need to do?

Hey stayhome4boys,
If you are having an issue with seeing only a black screen on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Start with the section titled If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.

I created a 2nd library for my husbands music and now I can't find my original library. I did hold down the shift key to open itunes but is still comes up with the new library. What am I doing wrong? I tried several times with no luck. Thank you.

I just got an Ipod Classic recently and downloaded Itunes. Got my music on my Ipod. My husband just got an Ipod Touch. I followed the directions on how to create a 2nd library and was able to load his music onto his Ipod. My problem is now I can not find my original library. I did what the directions said about holding down the shift key while opening Itunes and it still goes to the 2nd library that I created. How do i get my original library to come up? I tried several times with the same results. Please let me know what I need to do to be able to get into either library. Thank You.

Does the original library file still exist on the computer? Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

I turned my i pad 2 off and now it wont come back on ?? The spiral is just going around and around , it has been like this for 2 hours ????

HELP ME MY IPAD 2 IS NOT TURNING BACK ON

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. (And there is no need to SHOUT.)

I copied our entire music folder from old PC on tovnew iMac, all our muisc is there, but not our individual libraries have gone. and holding down the alt key when opening iTunes, brings up no options to choose or create libarys, can i recover our liba

Hi
I copied our entire music folder from our old pc on to the new imac, and all the apps, music etc is there, but no individual libarys, we had 5 very different ones, when pressing and holding the alt key on opeing itunes, nothing happens it just opens into itunes, no option to choose or create a libary, what am i doing wrong?

Did you copy the entire iTunes folder, not just media? This includes the critical library.itl file.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
Now you say you had 5 libraries. If you really mean that then you would have to have copied 5 different iTunes folders in their entirety, not just one folder. Anyway, something makes me feel you did not copy a whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files, you only copied the music.
On the starting with the option (alt) key held down I really don't know what to advise. It works for me hundreds of times and just about everybody else here. The only thing I can suggest is to hold the key down longer or perhaps start iTunes and then 1 second later hold down the key for a few seconds.

Help? my iphone 4 has shut off. i left it in the car all day but it didnt over heat or anything because it worked afterwards. but now it wont come back on. ive tried updating it, and holding down the home button. my lock button doesn't work.
