Help///Not sure whats going on.. black screen

So my iphone 4s died and when i plugged it in, no charging thing popped up. I tried different chargers, car, computer etc... and when i hold the sleep button or any other button the screen stays black.

I was on my way home and my phone died, so i got home and plugged it in and it did show that it was charging, but it sat at that screen with the charging symbol for almost 20-30 minutes. So I unlugged it and tried a different charger and it did the same thing, then it just didnt show anything at all.

Trashing the preference file may help, as I've outlined in the topic I've linked to. Otherwise, follow the steps regarding removing 3rd party QuickTime components. Also, see the final post by the OP (EEye87) regarding how his problem was resolved (a combination of trashing the preference file and the 3ivx component).

HELP --Not sure what the Problem is Port, Firewall or OTHER.

I'm pretty sure the problem is with *MY MacBook Pro* itself or a Port or Firewall setting. I'm just not sure. I tested it on my Son's Mac and it works fine when I log in using HIS Mac I have no problems at all using my account on His Mac.
Here is my problem for Posting in here. When ever I sign into my RedBox account I get the following ERROR.>>> " The page at http://www.redbox.com says:The Google Maps API server rejected your request because you do not have permission to use this service over SSL." I've contacted RedBox directly and they say it's my Mac. Got any ideals or do you need more info. ? Using either Browser FireFox or Safari give me same problem. I don't see anywhere where RedBox is denied access to my computer.

My Question has been fixed / Resolved. Here is the answer. In FireFox 4.0 now under tools, Add-ons and *_IF you have HTTPS Everywhere_* Which I do then you will have to open the HTTPS Preferences box and remove check mark from Google API save or exit and restart Firefox problem fixed. I found out how to fix this from HTTPS Everywhere's own web page under Contact us. Thanks to them my problem was fixed. I guess no one uses https as a safety back up on there browser. I do.

Would appreciate some help - not sure what just happened?

This is my first post to the Forums, and I have only had my phone for a couple of days (I've never had a smartphone before either), so please bear with me if I sound completely ignorant.
I just got my HTC Droid Incredible over the weekend and I have fallen in love with it! I had no problems until just a few minutes ago. I went to answer a call, but accidentally hit the button to end the call. I just hit the "phone" button to get back into the phone dialer where I could call them back. At this point my screen just went black, and eventually brought up a little red triangle with a red exclamation point on the screen. I kept trying to turn it on but nothing would happen, so I took the battery out, put it back in, and turned it back on. It turned back on, but it brought up a screen that had a little picture of a Droid character and it had several menu options (One of them was recovery, can't remember what the other ones were). I kept hitting the volume up and power button and finally the phone turned back on, and now it seems as if everything is fine with it. Does anyone have any idea why it would do that, and what menu option I could have selected? I am afraid I did something that will mess up the phone.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Not sure whats going on?

I am getting a message one of mail accounts are full but it is no way near full. It has like 20 emails in it and no attachments etc. I even got suckered in to buying moe space in some hope that it would fix the problem but it still is showing a message of being 99% full or just full.
I tried to call and email my problem. MACs answer is to buy more space! This is so unfair becasue now I am missing emails and Apple is not being very helpful.
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

.Mac comes with 1 gigabyte (GB) of combined email and iDisk storage.
You can designate storage space to your .Mac Mail account and your iDisk. For example, if you need more storage space for your email messages, you can set your .Mac Mail storage capacity to 800 MB and reserve 224 MB of storage for your iDisk.
You can't assign less than 15 MB of storage to your .Mac Mail account or iDisk. Your storage is automatically set to 512 MB for .Mac Mail and 512 MB for iDisk unless you change it.
To share storage space between .Mac Mail and your iDisk:
* Go to www.mac.com and log in.
* Click your member name on the .Mac tab, and then confirm your login.
* Click Storage Settings on your Account Settings page.
* Choose a new storage amount from the .Mac Mail pop-up menu. The storage allocated to your personal iDisk automatically decreases or increases when you add or subtract storage from your .Mac Mail account.
* Click Save.

My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. I can't do app store apps (like snapchat or facebook, ect.) or apple apps (like Camera, Safari, ect.)It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...

Garbled Images on the screen, not sure what is going on

Everything was going fine and then I left my computer on overnight and everything was garbled on the screen and couldn't be read. I connected it to an external display, same issue. I took a screen shot and sent to another Mac, and it showed all of the issues. I wish there was a way to post the image, it may help with coming up with a solution. I rebooted, no change. I reformatted and reinstalled 10.4, no change. The strange thing is, is that if I boot from my TechTool disc, everything looks fine. Also, if I boot into safe mode (shift key held down), everything looks fine as well. I am not sure what is going on, and what to do to fix it. Hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction. I don't want to have to get rid of my iBook. TIA.

Macspud,
Well if pressure from underneath didn't help there is this:
http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/
Which basically involves pressure on other chips.
I have been slowly working on that 1.33 iBook but I've been busy, vacation and working. I have found suspicious looking solder joints in the area indicated and also on that Danish site. That might be a good idea I might try that with the 1.33 pressure on various chips while trying to boot.
As far as video memory there are two identical chips underneath and toward the video output from the ATI GPU chip. I don't see that they are clearly BGA but there's also no conventional peripheral conventional solder tabs or lands.
Another point, there are 2 huge and a large chip on this board and they're all BGA. The large one being the CPU. So there would also be another 3 points of failure. Any one of these that pressure corrects could be reballed or shim fixed.

My MacBook is stuck on the loading screen. Please help! Not sure what to do

Hi, so my MacBook has stopped working for some reason
I've just tried switching it on but it has stopped on the loading screen.
I am scared and not sure what to do.
Please help!!!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

Today my mac won't turn on at all...the light at the front is remaining on and at a constant brightness however the screen is still black! I'm not sure what to do next?

today my mac won't turn on at all...the light at the front is remaining on and at a constant brightness however the screen is still black! I'm not sure what to do next?

If you can log in blindly or using the flashlight method, it is possible your screen brightness somehow got set all the way to nothing. I don't have my Macbook with me right now to test it out but I believe it may not be possible to adjust the brightness at the log-in screen so you have to be able to log in first (though I could be wrong on that).

Im not sure whats wrong? Help please!!!!!

So I woke up this morning, went over to my laptop and it wont start up.
I pressed power, and it begins to turn on. The screen turns white and it starts loading. Then my computer screen goes black. It begins to turn on, screen turns white, starts loading, goes black. Finally, it is able to get to the login screen. I type in my password and it doesn't unlock. I am 100% sure I typed the correct password but I just sit there typing it over and over trying to get it to work. I then notice at the top, right, corner there is a "Safe Boot" is bold red letters. I9 look up how to get out of "Safe Boot" and get excited because when I follow the instructions its no longer there, but its still regecting my password. I m not sure what to do now...

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.
