I turned my itouch off when charging and in went into indefinite limbo.
The screen is black with the little spinning wheel in the center. I can't turn it off or on. Any suggestions?
Have you attempted a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
This may take one or two tries.

You can turn it off and charge it or turn it on and charge it. No need to turn it off actually.

It depends on the charge level before start charging. -
Is it better to turn your iphone off when charging?
I had heard that if you charge your phone when it is still turned on, you only get a "trickle charge" which doesn't fully charge the battery. Is there any truth to this?
JimmyD1156No, just plug it in and put it in sleep mode if you like...makes no difference.

Automatically roboot and switch off when charging and discharging...
my phone gets power off while using.. and it reboot contentiously i did not able to use the mobile... and also my data is on, but the phone does not connect to internet. so i unable to browse.. my inbuild memory is also free (137/480) and i already have micro sd card. please help me to solve this problem..
Solved!
Go to Solution.Your post is hard to read and understand. Nevertheless, here are some thoughts and ideas.....
Powering off or rebooting while in use: Possible battery fault. Possible loss of battery connection with device because of battery movement in compartment, or dirty or corroded contacts. Possible software or setting glitch. Possible device hardware damage or failure. Troubleshoot, rule out one possibility at a time, starting with easy and least expense.
No BlackBerry data service: No data plan, or no service books. Add plan to line if needed. Make sure carrier configured plan correctly. Resend service books.
Out of memory? Too many apps, too much data. Remove as necessary to free up necessary space.

'm sure your'e going to tell me I just need a new phone but maybe there is hope for my iphone 4. It will not charge past 66% (it's not the charger), it turns off when unplugged, and it will not even let me turn my wi fi to the on possition. Help!
Hi there 8472kck!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
and that information comes from this article:

My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black. I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?
Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice. -
i took my phone off the charger and wifi while it was updating and now it wont let me on the phone nor my computer and it just has the apple icon on the screen. how do i get it to finish updating or turn on?
Why would you do that when your phone is updating?
Your phone is in recovery mode If you can't update or restore your iOS device -
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. -

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found. I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!
Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears. That will reboot the phone. try that.

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

Battery not at 100% when charged and on charger
Had the Fascinate for aout 3 weeks now, and once the phone is done charging, it'll say 98% or 99% sometime 100% but as soon as you disconnect the cable, it automatically drops 2-3% and I start out at 97%. Same thing while turning the phone off while charging, turning it back on while still on the charger, and states it's done charging but it's only at 98%.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Is it something to do with the software or possible hardware issue with the port?Normal behavior, that is. Li-ion batteries don't like to be held at 100% charge - it kills their life. So the charging system charges it fully and then let's it drop off a few % before topping it off again. This is why you sometimes see a 1-5% rapid drop when you unplug it. You can force more charge on by briefly unplugging and then re-plugging it once full charge is indicated. This "bump charge" gets you a little more run time, but also gets you a shorter battery life. YMMV.

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 photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks
To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.
