No, but try restoring it:
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

I have updated my itunes, bought a new charger cord and everything. My computer doesn't recognize it, and it just turns on and off. Help?
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the unit and charge it overnight. Do not use a computer USB port. Do not use an iPod/iPhone charger.
Battery technology has come a long way in the past several years. Your battery might be totally discharged but I doubt that it's truly dead. Good luck and please post back with results. -
Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet
Hello,
Can anyone please help me my Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet, especially when i go on to google. When i am on the internet browsing my phone screen just goes blank then i need to turn my phone back on.
This happens all the time and it gets so bad that the internet doesn't turn on and turns its self straight off.
ThanksYou need to go through the basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide:
Restart phone
Reset phone (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
BTW, are you really still using long obsolete iOS 3.0 as your profile states?
Is your phone jb or hacked? In that case, SOL. -
I have bought an iphone 5 from cash converters. I'm waiting for a sim from my provider to arrive by post. I have left my phone on and twice it has turned its self off, is this right or is my phone seem faulty? I haven't been able to try the phone out yet as I didn't have a small SIM card. I'm worried as to why it would be turned off when I didn't turn it off.?.
If it turns off again take it back it,s not your problem ask for a refund or replacement

HT1939 how come my apple power mac g5 turns its self off when i try opening a page
can you help my apple power mac g5 desktop is truning its self off when ever i try openning a page.or going online.it had recently been updated with os x 10.5.8
Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

if anyone has ether had this happen to them can u tell me and if you no how to fix it please tell
Recovery Mode is how to start all over again on your iPad like new. It erases everything, even the operating system, and reloads directly from Apple. Once that is done, if you have performed a backup of your iPad in the past, you will be able to restore all of your configuration settings and preferences after the reload occurs.
To prepare for a recovery mode restore, have the following ready:
- Your computer (plugged in to power) ready with iTunes up and running
- Your iPad synch cable plugged into your computer but NOT your iPad
- Make sure your iPad is at least at 20% battery, preferably higher
NOTE: Do NOT touch the iPad once recovery begins. Make sure your computer doesn't suspend, sleep, or shut down while the process is going on.
Steps:
- Sitting next to your computer, take your iPad (which should NOT be connected to your PC) and hold down the sleep button (on the top of the iPad) and the home button (front of the iPad) at the same time
- After about 10-15 seconds, the unit will power off (do not do anything when the "slide to power off" screen appears, just keep holding the buttons)
- When the iPad turns back on, you will see the silver Apple appear on the screen. Continue holding down the home button but release the sleep button and immediatly plug the iPad into your computer running iTunes
- You should see a symbol appear on the iPad with a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. iTunes will then say that it detected an iPad in recovery mode.
- Let iTunes restore the device. It will download a fresh copy of firmware, install it, and verify the SW.
NOTE: This may take a while. iTunes needs to download about 500MB from the Apple server, then it will start the loader on the iPad, and load the OS.
- After iTunes said that is successfully restored your device, you may get an error message saying the iPad isn't recognized and you're still at the screen with the USB cable and iTunes logo on the iPad. Don't sweat it. Unplug the iPad from the computer. Power off the iPad by holding the sleep button until you see the "slide to power off" - go ahead and slide to power off. Once it is shut down, push the sleep button again until it powers on.
- the iPad will come back to the familiar USB cable/iTunes logo. When it does, just plug it back into your computer and iTunes will activate the iPad.
- if you had previously backed up your iPad, iTunes will tell you there is a backup and ask if you would like it restored. If you wish to do this, accept the prompt. This will also take some time. Note it will NOT put your apps, music, movies, TV shows, etc back on your iPad, just your settings and preferences.
- once the restore is complete, iTunes should recognize your iPad and you can pick your synching options (apps, music, movies, etc, etc) and have a blast! The only thing I noticed it doesn't retain is the page layouts for your apps, so either screen capture them before you begin, or write it down.
I hope this helps -

PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the above does not resolve, take the device to Apple for evaluation. -
IPhone constantly turns its self off every few minutes
My mother came to me with her iPhone, and told me about this problem she has been having, and this is the best way I can think of to state it.
Her phone turns its self off every few minutes. It never does it while she is using it. It's only when she puts it in her pocket for a little while and then pulls it back out to use it again. It also will not turn on by doing the normal way of holding the ON button for two seconds. It will only turn on when you reset it by holding the On and Home buttons at the same time, and it seems to take much longer than it does on my 3G. It sometimes will only turn on by connecting it to the charger, because the reset method isn't working. She claims it has not had low battery while doing this, because she keeps it charged. I have observed myself to make sure, and the phone is almost 100% charged the last few times it has done this.
Any suggestions out there?Since a doing a reset has not resolved the problem, the next step is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the backup. If no change after restoring from the backup, restore as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after either restore method, time to give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. -

All of a sudden my login password won't be accepted can any one help but the weird part is after a few min the computer just turns its self on
This happened to me, too. I couldn't log in to ANY accounts on the machine. Restarted, failure again, restarted again.
Solution: Wait.
After restarting I let the machine sit for a minute. Then it worked!
I ran Onyx and repaired permissions. Big mistake, apparently. Now I have to type my admin password everytime I want to move or save. All my Office docs open as Read-Only. -
What can Apple do if my Iphone 5s has dust in its camera? The camera is very bad and can't take any good pictures. Can Apple do anything or give me a replacement phone if I go to the Store?
You can make a Genius Bar appointment to have the device looked at. If the device is still under warranty and they identify a problem, then Apple makes the final decision as to a replacement. If the device is out of warranty and they identify a problem, you would be offered the opportunity to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a discounted price.

My mac keeps trying to turn its self off
My mac keeps trying to turn its self off as if I am holding down the power button and if I am not fast enough to press cancel it goes off completely
Siobhano,
have you tried resetting the System Management Controller on your MacBook Pro? (The particular method to do so on yours depends upon whether it has a removable battery or not.) -
ive just updated my ipod touch 4th gen, but the bat went flat now its just a white screen and when i plug it into my laptop nothing happenes
Hello,
This will fix your problem!
To put the device in DFU mode,
1. Connect the device to iTunes
2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
That should get you back on your way.

i have a life proof case my phone was in a hot tub for 30 sec and it turned its self off and wont turn back on what do i do ??
You can try putting it in bag with rice for about 4 or 5 days and the try to turn it on. The rice will help the drying of the iPhone. Do not attempt to turn it until you take it out of the rice.
If it does not work after the rice, then you know you have to replace the iPhone. This is very likely so after 30 seconds in a hot tub, but do give the rice a try. If you can get a hold of some silica crystals, a better drying agent than rice, that would be good too.
