Imac just died on me, now will not power up.

imac just went blank yesterday. Now won't power back up. Sounds like it is trying, but screen is blank and keyboard doesn't respond. I can hear the fan for a couple of seconds and some brief clicks, then it stops. Tries again about 20 seconds later. Was streaming video for a few hours prior. Have gone through all troubleshooting steps and nothing..

Don't have an answer for your, but just to let you know you're not alone...
my iMac took a crap too. It won't boot up. got a white screen, but nothing else.
14 months old, still paying on it and it's in the shop. Estimate is about $800
turnaround time.... oct 2011
I'm not happy

My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on.

My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on. I was listening to music, it started to make a static sound then shut off and will not turn back on. What do I do?

Battery dead?
Plug it into the charger that came with the iPhone and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it plugged in for 20 minutes. Then while still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My new ipad just out of the box will not power on. What's the deal?

I just purchased my new ipad2 a few hours ago. Right out of the box it will not power on. Tried to sync in case that would help but it didn't. I can't imagine what the problem would be. At the Apple store they said it should be charged and ready to go.

Thanks but it must be defective because that didn't work. Trying to sync it didn't work nor did trying to charge it. Guess it's another trip to the Applie store tomorrow.

I usually have my music on shuffle but since playing just one album it now will not shuffle all. Shuffle and shuffle all do exactly the same with no differences. Seems to have happened after upgrade

I usually play my music on Shuffle all, but having played just one of my albums it will not now shuffle all. Shuffle and shuffle all do exactly the same thing - no change. Seems to have happened after upgrade. Please advise

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

HT4061 my phone just went off and now will not turn back on... will not connet to itunes to download or backup

ok phone worked one minute and then just cut off and has not come back on ..... no water damage no extreme temperatures.... will not sync with itunes account ... nothing ... any suggestions

try putting it on recovery mode or dfu mode or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 or try to connect the iphone to your computer while holding the home button, if this doeant work more likely your battery is totally dead try doing a hard reset while the iphone is connected to the usb port by pressing the home button and sleep/wake button at same time and wait for the apple to appear and release the sleep wake button usually this works ... restore the iphone..... if it still continueds to shut down your logic board or the battery is already bad

Iphone 4, purhcased 4/12, reluctant to turn on after fully expended battery in the past, now will not power on, communicate w/ itunes, tried restore -error 3194, then error 1600. help me please...do I have a warranty?

I purchased an Iphone 4 in April of 2012. I always keep it on and charge it every night. I have had some trouble turning, a couple of times, in the past. It was simply reluctant to turn on after allowing the battery to be completely expended and has behaved the same way after being manually turned off. I have again allowed the battery to completly die and turn off the phone. This time it will not turn on at all. I have tried various combinations of pressing and holding home and power to no avail. I plugged it in to the computer, but Itunes will not recognize it as my phone. Itunes is labeling it "Iphone" and has requested that I restore the phone in order to use it with Itunes. Itunes states that "has detected an Iphone in recovery mode". I, reluctantly, attempted to restore the phone. After waiting quite a while on a "software update" to download, it said preparing Iphone for restore and then said "unable to restore Iphone, unknown error - 3194". I read, online, that I needed the most recent version of itunes in order to restore. So I upgraded Itunes and restarted the compluter. On the second, and all subsequent attempts to complete the restoration, I am prompted with a message stating "unable to restore IPhone, unknown error - 1600". My computer also attempted, and I believe, successfully, installed new device driver software for iphone4 (DFU mode). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also is my phone, purchased 4/12, under any service or replacement warranty. I truly feel it should be easier to turn on and I did not even want to restore the phone, I just need to use it.
Thank you,
Geoffrey

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

Randomely my iphone 4 stopped working. no warning it just died , blacked out , and will not turn on

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

HT3546 my airport will not power on, what are the possible causes?

My Airport just shut off and it will not power on. I unplug it from the wall and pulg it back into the power outlet but it still won't power on. What are the possible causes. Is this system just died out, I have it for about 3 years.

Causes....a failed electical power supply component or an internal connection that has come loose.
It's a real longshot, but if you are handy with small tools, carefully saw open the case of the Express along the center seam to open up the case and look for something obvious.
Your chances of success here are very very small, but if you have the time and inclination, it won't hurt to try.

HP Pavilion a1123c - will not power on after being unplugged while in use

So bit of panic:
I've been using the above computer since 2007 with the expected wear and tear, slowing down. Today it was put through its paces and while on a multimedia-hwavy web page it became unresponsive to the point I could not even bring up the task manager to restart. Being a computer noob, I unplugged the computer to force a reset. It now will not power on with or without the power source. While plugged in the LED flashes rapidly. When unplugged the LED flashes but more slowly. I have tried flipping the voltage switch on the back but still my computer won't turn on.
I have all of my digital photos on this computer and am terrified of losing everything. What should I do? Is there hope of the data being salvageable? Thank you all so much.

Assuming erico 's advice fixes the situation, please make backups of the important data - such as photos or other important documents to a DVD or flash drive or external hard drive.
If the power supply troubleshooting guide does not fix the problem, there are ways to still make the backups of that important data, on a working computer from the failed computer. Just come back with the report on whether the advice from erico worked or not.

IPhone 4s will not power up

I was texting, and the battery was full. iPhone went dead and now, will not power back up no matter what I do - help!

"No matter what I do". What have you done? User troubleshooting is power off/on, reset and then restore. Looks like power off/on is done, try a reset, has no affect on data. Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That should get you up and runnng.

Bring it into an Apple Store for a free diagnosis and quote for cost of repair/replacement of parts.
If the costs are $500 or over, consider using the money toward a new or "newer" (used) Mac.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.
