I dropped my iphone 4s and it won't turn back on. Recently my lock button randomly went out and will not work. I've tried connecting it to the wall charger and also in to computer and that's not working. Please Help.

I can't restart my phone due to my lock button being broken. This has happened to me before and i just restarted it but now i can't.

It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped. Replace it.

My iPhone 4s shut off and won't turn back on? My lock button is broken, so I can not reboot it.

As I said, my lock button has broken so I can not use that to reboot it. My iPhone was charging when it shut off, i locked it and walked away from my phone for a few seconds and when I came back to unlock it, it was completely unresponcive. I use my phone to talk to all my friends and listen to music, please help asap. Also, I tried plugging it into my computer and it just won't do anything. Is my iPhone literally just, dead?

You can try and let the phone sit for a period and then try connecting it again to the power source. If that doesn't work, I cannot think of another solution. The only way to reset the phone in a case such as this is to old the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. However, since you say the sleep/wake button doesn't work, then there is no alternative. I'm puzzled though when you say that you locked the phone and walked away. If the lock button doesn't work, how did you do that?

Bootcamp update 3.1 and 3.2 will not install please help

I am running windows 7 32 bit on a silver mac book pro. it wants me to update my boot camp version from 3.0 to 3.1 but when i go to download it, it comes up with a progress box but then after a while it gives me an error basically stating that if this problem persists try just downloading it and installing it manually well i have done both ways even downloaded it form the apple website to which no avail. when i go to run the standalone updater it give me the error " the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005) click OK to close the application" i have tried running it as an administrator, and using the compatibility mode tried it with xpsp2,3 and vista sp2,3.. please help me as i am not the only one having this problem in my department

I donno if this is much help, but here goes.
This was my problem: When I upgrade boot camp from 3.1 to 3.2 using the apple update software (online, and on my windows 7 64bit) It didn't upgrade. I did the restart and everything went smoothly, but it just didn't upgrade.
Then I went on to apple boot camp software site to download the software to upgrade manually, then It says I need to locate bootcamp64.msi or something close to that.. I couldn't locate it on my hard-drive... so failure there
Turns out that file is on the MacBook Pro Mac OS X install DVD, under boot camp - apple
direct the location there and click on the bootcamp64 thing, and it should work (If you have the same problem as me)

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

Dropped my iPhone 5c now it won't turn on

I dropped my iPhone 5c it isn't cracked or anything but will not turn on , can anyone help

If it won't respond to holding the power and home buttons down at the same time for 10-15 seconds, then make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. It's likely it will have to be replaced.

My iPhone 4 shuts off, won't turn back on until connected to computer.

The phone is fully charged but won't turn on despite holding the home and top button for up to 30 seconds.
This started yesterday, where I noticed that the phone would shut off at 70% battery and not turn back on. I connected it to my computer and the Apple logo pops up, and after a few seconds (sometimes a few minutes) it goes back to the normal home screen.
So I completely reset the phone to factory settings and the phone seemed to be fine for an hour, to an hour and a half, until I stopped using it. I looked at the phone maybe 10 minutes later, and it was back to being dead again.
I charged it fully overnight again, and when I unplugged the phone and walked away briefly and came back, it was off again.
Any ideas, beside trying to reset it again? The battery life has been bad lately, so I was thinking of buying a new battery anyway, but if its not just a battery issue, then its not worth buying the battery.
Thanks.

More info:
I plugged it in again earlier today after coming across the same problem and it briefly flashed the "no power" symbol before rolling over to the Apple logo and starting up to 100%. So I would guess its battery-related?

IPhone 5 and Verizon customer Service Nightmare Please help!

I need help with Verizon customer service. I would like to know if I am being unreasonable. Here is my story. I ordered an iPhone 5 from apple to add to my Verizon account. This will be my fourth line of service with Verizon. I spend over 200 dollars a month with Verizon. I ordered the iPhone on the first day it was available to order. I received my iPhone on Tuesday 9/25/12. The nightmare begins. I call Verizon customer service to activate service. I get bounced from department to department because they are unable to activate my phone. This goes on for about an hour. I then get to a nice young lady that was very friendly and worked hard to try to help me. We spend for hours on the phone speaking to all of her different departments and even calling apple care and apple directly. The problem is Verizon set my new line of service to start in the middle of October. After about 4-5 hours on hold with customer service I am told they can't activate my new phone until the middle of October because when the order was placed they set up my activation date wrong. They went on to tell me they could do nothing more and transferred me to apple as they said only apple can fix the problem. I spend the next two hours on the phone with apple. Apple class all their tech support and calls Verizon back and explains my phone is a working phone and Verizon is the one providing the service so this is definitely a Verizon issue. I am advised by apple that I need to call Verizon back to fix. At this point Verizon is closed as I have been on hold with reps past closing time. I call back to Verizon and get a really helpful customer service rep the next day. Spend two hours on hold with him and he gets my service turned on. He states they should have been able to help me with this yesterday and apologized to me. He advised I would have to call back the next day to change my phone numbers around. Total time invested today 2 hours. Total time invested so far over 8 hours. I call back the next day to get my numbers moved around. Takes about an hour. When we are done I ask if I can get a credit on my next bill for having to spend over 8 hours on the phone to fix Verizon's mistake. I am transferred to a very condescending manager who laughs at me and tells me in essence they don't care about my time. He offers me one day of service credit. I advise him this is unacceptable. He gives me an analogy that this is like me getting my electric turned off for not paying and then wanting a credit for the time it took to turn back on. He even laughed at me on the phone and told me he wasn't going to do anything. When I asked to speak to a higher up manager I was told no. My question is who do I advise to get this rectified, and is it unreasonable to expect a credit when I spent over 8 hours on the phone with Verizon to correct their mistake? Pleas help!

Yes, don't feel it is as black&white as other posters here, but it is impractical.
What is the value of your time for example? If you are not self-employed, were you still being paid during these 8 hours. A court would consider actual economic loss, did you lose money during these 8 hours? And do you/your employer pay customers in similar situations? In my experience, you get credit based on the service (e.g. the 1 day credit) rather than being paid for your time.
And on the flip side, if I call up Verizon complaining that my phone doesn't work, and it turns out that I had forgot to charge it, do you want to be billed for the rep's time when it was your mistake? (Of course, wireline DOES do this, if Verizon dispatches a repair tech and the fault is inside your house etc (without a wiring contract) you do get charged)
Certainly the one day credit is the minimum they should provide. As others have said, your real recourse is to return the phone.

The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

My Iphone Will Not Restore, Please Help.

Hello,
I fell asleep while facetiming, I woke up and found that my iphone will not turn on, which is odd, since I was charging it. I then took it off my charger and then put it back on. The Iphone 4 then showed the Apple Insignia for about 10 seconds, then became a dark screen, then back to the insignia. It did this repeated flashing for a good ten minutes. I then took it off the charger and the phone stopped flashing and it became totally dead. I tried pressing the home button, and the top button, but there was no effect. I then plugged in my Iphone to the computer and put it into recovery mode. I tried to restore it, but it continually keeps getting an error (21). I tried it on a different computer, will not restore, but got a different error (I believe it was the error (1604)). I tried restoring it multiple times, I updated my Itunes to the latest version, I made sure my connection was well. I tried taking my Iphone off of recovery mode, but it did not work.
I suspect that my problems are due to the fact that my Iphone will not stay on without being connected to a power source, and that is the reason for all the errors. I tried it on different USB ports and different computers. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please help me figure out what I should do next. I do not mind losing all my contacts, but I do mind if I have to spend money on a new phone, afterall, I barely even had this phone for a year.
So Please, I am begging. Please help me and tell me why doesn't my phone stay on without being connected? Is it because I fell asleep while facetiming and because neither of us hung up it over-heated and killed the battery? Is there an easy way to fix this since I am technologically-impaired? Is there any hope for me and my Iphone's future?
Any answer will be very much appreciated.
Thank You.

It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.
Regards.

I dropped my iphone 4s and it won't turn back on. Recently my lock button randomly went out and will not work. I've tried connecting it to the wall charger and also in to computer and that's not working. Please Help.
