IPod touch not starting up after charging

My iPod battery died on me (normal) and I put it on the charger for the night. It made the battery charging sound and I though everything was fine. The next morning I pulled it off in the morning but did not try to turn it on until a few hours later. The iPod would not respond. It still didn't respond after I plugged it in to another charger and into my computer. I still get no response

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IBook freezing at start up after Automatic Software Updates

Hello All! I am new here and this is the first major issue I have had with my iBook since it was purchased back in 2004. Not sure what is going on with it...
I installed all the Automatic Software Updates, as I have always done in the past, then I shut the computer down for the day instead of restarting it. Since it gives you those two options so I choose Shut down. Well, the next morning my husband went to turn the computer on and it gave him trouble but then it finally started up but then as the screen turning on, it was jumpy with lines shooting up and down like crazy. So we force restarted it and then nothing. We removed the battery to see if that would help and it did at least let us get to the log in screen, slowly, but it got us there. Then, it froze. Restart, login, froze. Restart, logged in successfully, froze on desktop screen.
Not sure what to do now. Can anyone help? Let me know if you need any additional questions answered and I will so my best to answer them.
Thank you in advance for your time and help,
Kara

Hello Kara,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion forums!
I installed all the Automatic Software Updates
Normally, after installing updates to your software, it is wise to run the Repair Permissions function of Disk Utility found in your Utilities folder.
It sounds like something got corrupted doing the updates/shutdown.
I would try booting to your install cd/dvd and run the Repair Disk function. This is different than Repair Permissions from your HD's Disk Utility.
To do this:
Startup from your install cd/dvd while holding down the "c" key.
When the installer splash screen appears, ignore it, and go directly to the Installer Menu in your top Apple Menus and select Disk Utility.
When Disk Utility from the Install disk opens select your HD in the left pane and then select the First Aid Tab if not already selected and then click on Repair Disk button. If it finds errors it cannot repair you may need a more robust Disk Repair utility such as Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro.
If Disk Utility reports the disk has been repaired quit the Disk Utility and then quit the installer and reboot and see if you can now login normally and your desktop appears (unfrozen).
If it does startup normally, open Disk Utility from the HD and run the Repair Permissions function.
post back if you cannot boot to the install cd/dvd and run Repair Disk or if you have further comments or questions,

Device won't start, even after charging (WT8-B-102)

I recently bought a Toshiba WT8-B-102 and i have some problems with it.
First of all i couldn't install the BIOS update for some reason, but that isn't a huge problem for the tablet works fine
but now i can't start it anymore. yesterday i had the same problem, left the Tab alone for a while, (on the charger) and after that it didn't start/boot. half an hour later i tried again (after taking it of the charger) and then it started, but today it won't start at all. Even if i charge it for some hours, then try it again, try to start it while being charged, etc. This is not good right?
I also don't see some led burning or any other sign when i attach it to the charger. Any ideas or help guys?
Thanks

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

16 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging

Hi,
4 weeks ago I bought my x-Fi style and used it during my holidays for 2 weeks. After charging the player only twice (USB-connection with notebook), it now fails starting. Maybe there is an internal temperature fuse to protect from overheating and I only have to wait to try again? After connecting to USB the CREATIVE sign appears but disappears directly and a battery symbol appears and remains on the screen. After disconnecting the player does not react in any way. I already tried to reset but cannot start it again.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers,
Uli

Re: 6 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging:Just fyi
I found the website for Creative to be very frustrating. Not one snail mail address or corporate headquarters info. The link for website feedback didn't work and one other customer service link was a dud. They clearly don't want to be 'bothered' with complaints, or anything positi've for that matter!
But, I searched on the forum and found a three-year-old post about someone who was frustrated with having to carry around a paperclip to always push 'reset' on his X-Fi -- and the light dawned! Didn't know I had one of those. I pressed reset and voila! it is working again. Still had to charge it, but it accepted the charge this time and I was able to finish my book and move on to the next. Now, the next problem is I tried to access my wireless network which has a $ in the password and there is no $ in the choices for entering a password. So, now I have to change the password, change all of my device passwords (Blu-Ray, iPad, laptops(2), friend's laptops, etc. a huge pain. Seems to me they could have included a $ in the choices!

C3-01 won't start after charging

I'm so angry right now but I will try and be cool about this!
I bought C3-01 mobile phone about four months ago and it is already causing me problems.
The mobile phone simply won’t start after charging. Last time i charged it, it miraculously came to life only, and only after annoying me for about hour and a half. Now I fear it is completely dead!
Battery was not completely empty so the phone should still start even if the wall socket is broken. Which is not, wall socket works perfectly.
Nothing helps! I tried removing the battery and then restart. Removing the battery then removing the sim card, memory card and that piece of “advanced technology” simply won’t start!
I didn’t buy my new phone so that I can use my old Motorola mobile, which btw., still works after 4 years of intense usage.
I will never buy Nokia again!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your phone is not starting after charging.
I would suggest one more thing, which maybe helps. If you have another battery, please try.
If not, i would recommend to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

IBook fails to start after update

Hello,
I completed the most recent software update and shutdown my iBook. Today when I attempted to turn it on – nothing. No chime, no screen and it will not turn on.
The battery is fully charged and the AC adapter is working (the green ring is lit when plugged in). I have taken the battery out and unplugged it as well as followed the trouble shooting information (Apple - troubleshooting portables that won't turn on or start up)with no luck.
I am afraid it’s hardware related – However, like anybody who has not run a backup in a while….. I was hoping someone has another idea or has experienced this.
Thanks.
Ibook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Steve,
Your iBook sounds like it could have a bad DC-in board. Do you know anyone with another battery you could try in your iBook? Or are you close to an Apple Store where you could take it in and have them try a different battery?
When my husband's adapter tip broke off in the adapter port, damaging the DC-in board, his iBook would only run from a charged battery. It would not run from the adapter, and it would not charge the battery. He still could use it with a charged battery, and he and I swapped batteries, allowing my iBook to charge both batteries, until he could get his iBook fixed.
When you push the test button on the battery, how many lights do you see?
If your iBook will run from a charged battery, chances are that it is the DC-in board causing your problem. All the green light on the adapter means is that the battery is not charging. When everything is working right, that means the battery is fully charged. When things aren't working right, there may be other reasons why the battery is not charging.

My iPad ran out of battery completely. After charging all night, it is 100%, but my apps won't start. I can access email, Safari, etc.....just not game apps. I have restarted it several times. Thanks!

My iPad ran out of battery completely. After charging all night, it is 100% however I cannot get my apps to work. I can access Safari, email, etc., but cannot get game apps, etc. I have restarted it a couple of times. Any help? Thanks!

Try downloading any free app from thee store and then re-try your apps - the free app can then be deleted.
If that doesn't work then try closing all your open/recently used apps completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IBook G4 - Problems Starting after installing RAM

I installed a 512 MB RAM chip last night, triple-checked it for correct specifications. I've installed, uninstalled, and re-installed it several times, each time getting the same problem. I turn my iBook on, the start-up screen does its thing, and then it stops at the message "Login Window starting," right before my desktop would normally load. This does this with and without the RAM installed. I tried the disk utility CD 1, and it didn't seem to do any good. Any suggestions?

Does the iBook boot and run from the install CD?
If so run DiskUtility from the pull down menu. Still runs OK?
This would seem to indicate pretty good functionality.
Is it possible your software configuration wasn't healthy before you installed the RAM? You might have to do a re-install of the OS.

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

IBook G4 won't load after latest security update, repair doesn't work?

Hi I had the same problem as someone else in this forum:
"Last night I saw that my ibook G4 wanted to do a security update. I told it to do it, and the ibook has not started since. It reset itself after downloaded, but it just stays on the booting up screen, never actually booting up so I can use it. After about two hours of trying to boot up, I turned it off, and on again, and it still wont boot.
I really need suggestions as how I can fix it. Thanks

HI,
Ok... you need to boot from your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
If you have the original hard drive in this iBook, it was probably a 60GB drive? When you can do this, check to see how much available disk space there is.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.

I tried restarting it after the repair (there were some things to repair and I tried to repair twice just to make sure it didn't miss anything) but it still won't load. It says its starting the OX system, but when the blue bar reaches the end, it doesn't do anything from there. I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. My mousepad still lets me move around the mouse, the caps lock key still lights up, as the num lock key. I tried safe mode but that won't load either...any other suggestions?

Your iBook needs to go in for repairs.

Ipod won't start up after a long time being off

Hey guys
well, I have a wierd problem, here it goes my ipod(5th gen video 30 gb) well not start up after it's been off for let's say a day. I know it must have a full charge and it does. The keys do not respond, I usally have to plug it in or sometimes get lucky and by unplugging the headphones and it starts up. Also I am wondering if it's because I have put the hold button on for that long period of time, and yes i do take it off of hold before i start it up.
peace out

um ive never heard of a problem like this but does it stay on after you plug it in? and although u probably know u hold the play button down to turn it on.
hope this helps
