i turned off my ipod and when i turned it on the next day all the app icons were clear/gray what should i do?

Perform a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherise if that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod Touch from a backup via iTunes. See this article for help on restoring your iPod from a backup.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on, all my apps were deleted. I tried to reinstall my apps, but it wouldn't let me. My storage still remained the same even though, all my apps were deleted. How can I get my apps back?

Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.

I have been working on an iMovie project. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on to continue working and entire section of about 80 photos was gone. The music attached to these photos remains. Can I retrieve this work?

I am at Snow Leopard and have only played a bit in IMOVIE - so can't speak for Mavericks - but -
In general as I work a lot in Photoshop - when you are happy with something save it and continue on - If you have Time Machine Running and you want to try things next that may or may not work - force a time machine backup - that way the version you are happy with will be available for 24 hours (and wish this was a setting one could extend)
If you turn off your mac - or end a program without consciously saving something you may lose what you worked on.
If IMOVIE did not ask if you want to recover what you were doing your update may be gone - but try posting new question - asking about automatic backups in IMOVIE and how they work.

I was updating my ipod and i lost wifi, so i turned off my ipod, and when i tried to turn it on it went to the normal apple logo then flashed and went to a pink screen. Ive tried restoring it, but it hasnt worked. PLEASE HELP

So i was updating my ipod earlier yesterday, i kinda steal wifi from the neighbors so it was pretty weak.... i lost wifi (i think) because it stopped loading, so i turned off my ipod. And when i tried turning it on again it did the apple logo then went to a full out pink screen. Ive tried turning it back on and off a billion times, and sometimes the screen colors will change. I recently just tried restoring it like 10 times and usually itll just interenwrupt the restoring process. By the way, wh i plug it into the computer it doesnt recognize the device. I had to put it into recovery mode. Pleasehelp, this ipotd is my life. I cant take it to the apple store because its badly cracked, and ive had it for about 2 y and a half years. PLease help.

Hi-
I had the same thing happen to me Thursday night, and I just got mine right 30 minutes ago (and it is now Saturday am). Like you I repeatedly tried to restore it (by holding down the home key and powere button at the same time; then plugging it up to my computer and trying to get it to restore through iTunes). My computer didn't initially recognize my ipod either. - One thing- be sure that your battery isn't dead/dying. If it is, charge it (it should charge-mine did), then start the process of restoring it again. Make sure when you hold the home and power keys down that you are linked to iTunes.- You will eventually get a screen that has the itunes icon it, with a usb cable underneath it. At that point your computer will recognize your ipod, and you'll be able to restore it...This will take a LONG time.- Good luck.

Turned off my iPhone and when it turned back on some settings were changed, why? Also, album art work not showing up on my iPhone even when it shows up in iTunes

I turned off my phone using the home key and the top button (an apple customer service personnell told me to do this if it started to act up) and when i turned it back on some of my settings were changed. I don't remember how everything was set up, so now I have to try and go searching for things that are wrong. Also, my iMessage and FaceTime accounts said that they aren't verified...they were before i turned my phone off.
Another thing is, is that the album artwork isn't showing up on my iphone, but its in the "get info" section on itunes. AND many times the artwork isn't showing up on itunes...like songs purchased from itunes. This is extremely aggravating. Can someone please please please help me?!

HT201401 I just turned off my phone and when I turned it back on it told me to connnect to itunes. I have restored it and I have connected to itunes and I have tried resetting it but it is stuck.

Having trouble with my iphone3. It is stuck after I simply turned it off and turned it back on to get a connect to itunes message. Ive tried connecting to itunes, resetting it, and restoring it. Nothing works! It is still stuck in recovery mode.

Put your phone in DFU mode (search Google for instructions) and restore as NEW device. If that doesn't work, you've no choice but to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
If your phone has been jailbroken, this problem can occur. In this case, Apple won't even touch the phone and you'll have to buy a new one.

When I turn off my ipod and put it away, generally in my cargo pants pocket, it turns on again, draining the battery...HOW DO I SHUT IT OFF? I tried turning off the power completely, but it reboots

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

My phone turned off over night and will not turn back on even when plugged in. Is there anything that I can do?

If you've left the phone plugged in for at least a half-hour with no results, then try holding power and home buttons simultaneously to do a soft reset (settings) only. If that doesn't work, try seeing if iTunes will recognize the device and let the computer charge the device.

HT1386 My ipod will not sync at all. I've restarted my Mac, and I also turned off my ipod and turned it on again to see if it recognizes my ipod and it still does not. What should I do?

Airport turns off by itself and won't turn on back again!!!

hey there, i am currently facing an issue with the airport as by it is turnning off by itself and i cant turn it back on .. i have to restart !!!
sometimes when i turn on my mac like just now happened it is off and can;t be turned on.
please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it
thank you very much

Hey, in case you haven't been able to find a solution to your original problem with airport turning off, i seem to have found the solution for my MacBook Pro. I called Apple Care and they had me to shut down my computer. Then, while holding down the four keys: command, option, R and P, push the power button to turn on the computer. Do not let up on the four keys until the start up chime has sounded twice. Then let up on the four keys and the OS will boot up as usual. They said what that does is reset your "sleep" parameters on your computer. This seemed to have solved my problem.
