I had a temperature warning come up on my iPhone 4 and now it won't turn on
I had a temperature warning come up on my iPhone 4 saying I needed to cool it to use it or something and turned it off and attempted to turn it back on as a means of fixing it, but it didn't work and now my phone isn't turning back on and even when I connect it to the charging cable (either to a plug socket or iTunes via my laptop) nothing happens; it doesn't even seem to detect it, my phone is still lifeless.
Anyone know what to do about this and how to fix my phone again? Cos right now, it's nothing more than a nice looking paper-weight. Would appreciate the feedback, thanks.
Try a hard reset while connected to power: (adapter, not iTunes on computer): Press and hold both the Home button and Sleep/wake button at the same time for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple Logo appears.
If this doesn't work: try to force restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
NB: the article above will erase all data and content, so make sure you've got a backup
Good luck

I was trying to fix the internet on my iPhone so I turned it off and back on, then it still wouldn't work so I i turned my iPhone off and now it won't turn back on. Now when it's plugged into the wall or the computer the Apple Logo comes up for about 6 seconds and turns off, then back on for another 6 seconds then turns off again and it just repeats, and it really frustrates me. What can I do to fix it?
I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged. My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons. It worked......would be worth a shot.

I turned my iphone off when visiting the doctor's surgery and now it won't turn back on. It had 73% battery left and I have tried connecting it to my computer with USB but nothing happens. I have taken out and replaced the sim card too. Any suggestions
If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck. -
Today I was shopping and I went to check the time on my Iphone but it had shut itself off for no reason and now it won't turn back on. What should I do?
It could have powered off. Try holding the sleep button down for a few seconds until the apple logo appears to restart it

Had many issues with phone, decided to erase all data and now it won't finish
Okay here's the rundown of my problem on my iPhone 5 32GB. I can't check currently (you'll understand why later) but I believe it was on iOS 7.1.1 as I know it wasn't the absolute most recent version. First off, my lock button is sometimes unresponsive, a hardware issue and I haven't gotten around to getting that fixed yet. Anyways.
Today I wanted to open up my twitter app. The instant it opens, everything freezes. I mean everything: screen, lock button, home button, everything. The screen usually shuts off after 90s if I don't do anything, so the screen went black after this time as everything I did didn't register. Now with the screen being black, still no response from most things. The only thing I can do is activate Siri, though the screen still doesn't turn on, just the sound. She couldn't usually hear me, and if she did it would take her about a minute or so to respond. I can still connect to iTunes (windows 8) though so I did that, but I stopped the initial sync. I tried doing the hold both buttons for 10s thing but that didn't work (might be because the lock button is iffy) so I couldn't start recovery mode.
At this point, I decide the only thing I could do (because no where on Google anyone had a similar problem) is to restore the phone, either to factory or to a backup. When I tried these options in iTunes, it told me that it could not do this while Find my iPhone is active, and to go to settings on my phone to turn it off. I can't open settings with the screen black. I tried going to icloud.com in order to see if I could turn it off from there. The site could find my phone just fine, could make the sound just fine. I could however not remove the device from iCloud unless the phone was turned off (which I again can't do with a black screen).
At this point, I went to the directory with the backup on my computer and copied it to another location. Then in iTunes I did a sync to create a new backup. Now the only thing that was available for me to do was on the web site to erase all data from the phone as it did not require Find my iPhone to be turned off. Feeling out of options, I went through with it and clicked erase. For some reason, this is the time that the screen decides to turn on. The phone showed the apple logo and a progress bar. The bar progressed quickly at first but then slowed as it neared the end. At this current point, it's been at what appears to be 100% for around an hour with nothing happening. The buttons do nothing, my computer can't see the device so iTunes won't do anything.
Is there anything else I could try to do or should I just wait it out. My city does have an apple store which I could go to tomorrow but if I could get my phone running tonight that would be great. Also, if I can't do anything and it doesn't budge, if I take it to the store would it cost a lot to fix or (if necessary) replace? It was a birthday gift two years ago, bought without a plan, and I don't think it's still under warranty.Hi..thanks for your advice!
Ok, I am student so buying a new phone is not possible ;( This experience has turned me off Apple anyway! All I did was click yes to their iTunes upgrade prompt asking me if I want to update....and now I don't have a phone and can't access all my backup etc on my iTunes because it seems the only way to get to it is with another iPhone!?
I can't believe that through the Apple recycling program I could possibly get $50 for this phone because the hardware is perfect but there is no support for this issue...feels like Apple is just trying to force everyone with hacked phone to buy new ones! -
I've had my Iphone 4S since thanksgiving and today it turned off voluntarily and now I can't get it to turn back on. I've tried holding down the top button and plugging it into my charger

I brought an iPod off eBay, second hand a few weeks ago. The first week I had it everything was working fine. Then suddenly when I plugged it in to charge the battery logo didn't appear, so I left it overnight and it still charged but there was still no logo. And now when I plug it in to connect to my iTunes on my computer, it isn't showing up on the left hand side where it should. I have tried restoring the iPod twice and using different cables and no change was made, what should I do?

Had my apple 23" display 7 years and now it won't turn on
So, I've had my 23" Cinema HD display since 2005. It was manufactured in April of that year. For the last month it has not been turning on when I boot my computer (G5). I will wiggle the cords, check the connection, and unplug everything--then repeat--and eventually I can get it to turn on. It will work for a few weeks and then it starts all over. However, it will not even turn on at all now.
I've read up on the problem and it seems like this is a recurring problem that Apple just doesn't want to fix. Do you think it's a bad powerblock or inverter? Not sure what to buy or where to go as the cost may not be worth it to repair it and there is not an Apple store in this area.In my opion just buy a new monitor. It's just not worth the time or money to salvage a 7-year-old display. I don't think apple would fix it either.
FWIW, below is a download link for the 23" display service manual.

So I tried Installing iOS 8.3 onto my iPhone 6+, updated iTunes to the latest version, 12.1.2, downloaded the update for the phone, connected my phone - it detected fine like it always does. When I tried installing, it went to about halfway or so and then iTunes said there was a problem updating the phone.
The phone icon disappeared from iTunes and when I checked the phone it was giving the blank screen. I tried turning it off and on again... It showed the apple logo, and then the connect to itunes icon, but iTunes is not detecting it.
Even if I take it out and put it back in again, even with the hard reset holding the home and power buttons. I'm running Windows 8.1. So far I've tried the hard reset, cleaning the connector pins, switching to a a different USB port, reinstalling iTunes, checking to see if the Apple Mobile Device software is up to date, even using a previous restore point in windows.
The device makes a noise when it gets plugged in, indicating that it's being detected by the computer, but iTunes... nothing. And my phone is stuck on showing the connect to iTunes picture and it's bricked and unusable and I'm wondering why I even bothered with this stupid update.Most of the recent updates showed the connect to iTunes screen for a short time. But if the update was done with the iOS device connected to the computer running iTunes, the Connect to iTunes screen appeared only briefly then the update completed. If your iPhone didn't complete the update you will have to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode. Follow the steps very carefully in the link below. You might have to try several times to get your phone into Recovery Mode.

so like it says, ive never had an issue. and now it won't turn on. it's plugged in to charge, and the light is green, as usual. I don't know what's happened, is there a way to turn it on at all? or am I going to have to take it into apple?
The Mac is inherently a Multi-User system, even if you are the only one who ever used it.
This means that System Directories are kept almost entirely unmodified, and all of YOUR files, including things that seem like "system-wide" preferences, are all kept under /Users/Your login/ in your private directory.
I recommend you re-install Mac OS X. That should restore any parts of the System you discarded by accident. Your files should remain untouched throughout the entire process, PROVIDED you have no pre-existing Directory damage.
If you are running 10.7 or later, hold down Command-R at startup, which will take you to Recovery_HD, and use Disk Utility to (Repair Disk). Run it again until it is stuck or finds no more errors.
Then re-download and re-install Mac OS X.
You should not need to do a "clean Install" [where one copies off all User files onto two Backups, erases the drive, and installs on a clean drive]. Any part of Mac OS X that was missing or damaged will be replaced by a fresh copy. -
I updated my iPhone software and now it is saying that I need to connect it to iTunes. I no longer have my computer with my iTunes on it. What can I do? I really don't want to lose my data! I wouldn't have updated if I had known but there was no warning.
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.

Good Morning, I'm all for updates and maintaining, but I'm upset that Googletoolbar is no longer compatible with Mozilla 5 because I had a great amount of sites saved on Google Bookmark and now it is lost. Any suggestions?
