IPhone 4 won't power up. What should I do?

I turned my iPhone 4 off earlier tonight because the display seemed to freeze up. It has been working fine. Now it will not power up. What can I do to get the phone to power up?

Must seek an appointment at the Genius bar to get the jammed power button issue resolved.

My iPad 2 won't start even if I already went through pressing the home and start buttons simultaneously. I also tried charging the batteries for more than 30 minutes (done this procedure twice) but it won't still power on. What should I do next? Could it be a hardware issue then?

Macbook Pro won't power on, what should my game plan be?

Hello,
So I have a 17" 2.53 ghz i5 500gb MBP from Mid 2010 running snow leopard (can't remember which os). I have never really had issues with it other than a busted cd-drive. Around October, I plugged my old iphone 4 into the usb port and my computer completely shut down. When plugged in, the green charging light is lit up, but the laptop will not power on. The LED light in the front blinks, starting dim and getting brighter for approx. 1.5 seconds, then abruptly blinks off and starts again. All of the side green lights blink when I press the little button next to them. I tried resetting both the NVRAM and the SMC to no avail. When I press the power button, it makes a very faint sound as if its about to start up, and repeats that sound, but otherwise nothing happens.
I have since bought a new (much less expensive) Acer laptop that I am more than happy with, but I'd like to know if there is any way I can fix it or get it fixed for a reasonable price, as well as what is specifically wrong with it, in order to sell it for a higher price. Gazelle offered me $50, which is a pretty low blow considering I bought it for over $2000 less than 5 years ago. Should I attempt to bring it in to the apple store, or maybe try craigslist? Or just bite the bullet and go with gazelle...

Do make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation. At least then you will be in a position to make an informed decision, whether to sell it as is or repair it.
Ciao.

I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

Are you running the latest firmware?
Have you tried to do a reset on it? Hold Home and Power till you see the apple logo.
If that doesnt work I would look at a possible restore of the phone.

What make, model, and version WiFi router do you have?
Is the router firmware up to date?
What type of security is it running? WEP, WPA, WPA2 (WPA2 is recommended, WEP is completely insecure)
Do you have MAC address filtering turned ON? If so, have you added your iPhone MAC address to the permitted list in your router?

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

Now Logic won't open. What should I do?

I had two versions of Logic Pro on my laptop (Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro), so I deleted the older version. Now Logic won't open. What should I do? I also upgraded to Mavericks lastnight, but it worked fine until just now.

Restore what you deleted from your backups? Use Time Machine to go back to a time prior to the problem occuring? (You do make backups yes? If not, now you know why you should start doing so!)
Failing that,
Launch Logic Pro and then as soon as you have cliced on the icon, hold down the option key and keep holding it down until eitehr you see a dialog box or Lagic completes loading...
This stops Logic loading the last project or template you used... in case the project or template has become corrupted in some way...
If that doesn't work.. do the same again but this time hold down the Control Key....
This makes logic start without loading Audio so you can then go in and select the internal Audio in Logics Audo preferences in casse its a problem with some drivers or Core Audio itself...

My adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

my adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

Ditto issue, netbook NB200 Toshiba, trying the higher resolution. It is inconceivable to me that a firm of Adobe's reputation would automatically shut-out a very large section of the market place!
Also, it is a surprise with the hundred's of thousands of programs out there in the world that work just fine on netbooks, that they would not Highlight this issue on the download/purchase page (not hidden in technical specs page); and would also not have an installer that "warns" the user of the deficiency in their system at the beginning - with a clear description of what will/won't work!; Especially when upgrading in good faith from a system upon which it does work:(
In this instance, I was able to adjust the Monitor resoltion to 780 vertical (thank goodness it's available on the NB200 system) - and yes it does work...
I would never had realized this if the google'd search did not come up with this forum. What would have happened if I was travelling without internet connection as a photographer/videographer - which is quite often.
Thanks to the forum for the answer/problem/issue!:)

/var is a hidden folder, so you mustn't remove the folder.
The only solution is to reinstall OS X. If you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything. If you have a backup, you can restore it after starting in OS X Recovery instead of reinstalling Mac OS X, so you will save a lot of time

Reinstall OS X.
Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I upgraded my i phone 3gs from 4.1 to 6.1.6 then the above problem arised

I too am having this problem. All I want to do is use my iCloud backup of my phone to fix a bug in IOS 7 that loop-prompts me to connect to iTunes. Anyone that has an answer to to OP would be greatly appreciated. There have been almost 3000 views on this page and only 8 posts that aren't much help at all so far. Enough with this 'Do you know how to read' white-space. I'm here for answers!!!
However, I suppose I already have the answer. This is simply another example of Apple using their software to limit consumers of certain demographics (namely, people who have the phone but don't pay for service from a carrier). A SIM card is only required for activation because the software administrator says so; and for no other reason. The hardware is there and its perfectly functional otherwise. I shouldn't even need to activate in the first place. Just restore my freaking phone!!
