HT2101 My phone is completely dead - what has happened?

My iphone 4S has gone dead - what has happened?

Try to press at the same time the "home button" and the "sleep wake button". After a few seconds it will reboot your iPhone. If not, your iPhone probably has a hard- software problem., Attempt to connect it to Itunes as a recovery mode restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all.  Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color.  Help?

    No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

    Hi, I'm not sure if every Off problem is the same...
    I would call Apple Corp or visit the Local Genius Bar......
    Apple do care about pre 5s iPhone owners, give them a chance to help You..

  • What has happened to making the customer happy?

    I have 5 months left on my contract (November 2014) and yesterday I dropped my phone and it is completely dead.  I carry insurance on the phone so it can be replaced.  I would prefer to upgrade at this time to a new phone (Samsung Galaxy).  I went into the Verizon store and was told that unless I paid retail I would not be able to get a new phone as I was under contract.  Really?  Can I not extend my contract by another 2 years and get the phone I want now instead of waiting until November?  I told the employee that I would be going to T-Mobile since they are paying EFT's and offering the Galaxy for $0 down.  The monthly payment would be the same as I would get at Verizon.  He said "then that's what you should do".  Again, Really????  I have been with Verizon for more than 10 years!  I would consider myself a good and loyal customer.  What has happened to making the customer happy?  I was more than okay with extending my contract for an additional two years and completing the 5 months I have left.  All I wanted was to purchase a phone at a "customer rate" not a retail rate.  I am now shopping other carriers and plans.  Not the way to do business Verizon!

    You agreed to complete a 24 month contract, you are only 20 months into that contract. The Samsung you're referring to or any phone with T-Mobile won't be free, you will end up paying the full retail price of that phone like you said you did not want to do with Verizon. If you have insurance use it to get your phone replaced and then wait for your upgrade date.

  • Didn't put on keypad lock. What has happened to my...

    I have a Nokia 1600.
    As the title says I didn't put on keypad lock and when it came to making a call I got the message 'Check operator services'. Went over settings and everything fine, I have credit and signal is strong.
    What has happened to the phone? How can I fix it? I'm confident the network isn't busy. The website says something about switching from line 1 and 2; has that anything to do with it?
    Thanks

    Here in the Philippines, whenever we encounter that error, it means two things:
    1. You do not have any network coverage (dead spot).
    2. you don't have call credits to make a call.
    make sure you have a good signal. and make sure that you still have call credits

    While I don't use a Mac, I belive you connect the device to the computer via USB and then import the file using a file utility similar to what you do when you import digital pictures. I'm guessing that the Mac has something like this?

  • Firefox, all the sudden, will now load the site but will not let me go to a chat area in the website, what has happened?

    I have a site that i am on all the time and have never had a problem at all using it, but the other day all the sudden i could log into the site but when i go to use the chat room feature in the site i get kicked back out to the sign in area. I have used on other comp to make sure not site and have been able use w Internet Explorer... So i am at a loss as to what has happened all the sudden. Please help me...very frustrated w this... Jared

    Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading.  I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos.  All web surfing was extremely slow.  When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers.  After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com.  I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com.  I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air).  I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow.  At that point I decided to unplug the router.  I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware.  Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster.  But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com.  I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi.  This is where the problem still stands.  I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it.  I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

  • What has happened with Apple Support?

    I convinced my friend to purchase a refurb Macbook Pro last week. I explained "the same warrenty, I've purchase 3 refurbs with no problems, yada yada".
    His MBP shows up with a "5th leg" under the Superdrive! Dented from the inside out. We found this out when we tried to start installing some software via DVD and the DVD got jammed inside and wouldn't eject (and sounding like it was shredding said DVD). Finally after a small pair of tweezers and a quick hand, I was able to snag the end of the dvd and "help it out".
    I told my friend how sorry I was, and explained that we will ship it back and Apple will surely just ship another refurb to him.
    Currently, he has spoken with 6 different people, over an hour of phone time, and none have followed through with not even a return number! Plus, each and evey new "tech" that he speaks to wants his name, order number, address, credit card, and probably his favorite color!
    What has happened? I have been praising Apple for 25 years, and now I'm just embarrassed (for me and Apple).
    Had to vent, and was wondering if anyone else has had this experience lately?

    Your friend only needs a single 'yes' to resolve this. Tell him/her to hang in there! Insist on good service. It is definitely owed.
    I have found that dedicating the time to get it done, and then not accepting any answer except the ethically right one, will achieve the right result. I would bet the call center folks are trained to drag feet on giving return authorizations on refurbs. That is an institutional thing that is not particular to just Apple. The ignored problem often will just go away. On a call to support the need is to insist on going uphill to supervisor and then manager and not hang up until a equitable solution is arrived at. Polite, unfazed - insistant.
    We all hate it when an error like this makes Apple look small.

  • Does anyone know what has happened to Softmatic Barcode Maker on the App store?

    I bought this App a few months ago, and it worked fine. Then updated it a few weeks ago and worked even better. However I tried to load it today and it just crashes on startup. Have tried restating my MBP and it still doesn't work. I can't re-install because it is nolonger available on the App store, and furthermore, the publisher seems to have dissappeared completely! The web address softmatic.com doesn't go anywhere, and googling doesn't turn up any useful info.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix the software?
    Or what has happened to Softmatic?
    Or if I will have any kind of comebak with the App Store regarding this App?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated – I'm stumped!
    Thanks
    Andy

    I've rather wondered myself. I hadn't used the bar code software, but did download and try the free Gradient Pro. It worked very nicely. I had a question and one problem, support was iin contact within an hour with both the answer and a fix for the problem. The next day they posted an updated version with the fix as part of the update. I was very impressed. The next day, they were *poof*.
    I still use the app, have the manual page downloaded from before, but they have vanished online. Too bad. They had some great plans in store for new features.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

    I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
