IPhone 4s Randomly Shut Down and Will Not Start- Broken Lock Button.

Sent a snapchat and shortly after my phone shut down. I had 30% battery. Can't get it to restart despite having it on the charger for 30+ minutes and holding the home button for long periods of time. Tried plugging it into my mac but itunes isn't picking up on it. My lock button has been broken for about 3 months now and I've been using assisted touch, so unfortunately resetting hasn't been an option for me. I have not yet updated to iOS 7.1.1. Please help if possible!

Connect to a wall outlet so you have solid power, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

My IBOOK has shut down, and will not start back up

ok here is what has happened. yesterday my 1.2ghz g4 ibook started randomly shutting down. it would shut down and it would take a while of me pushing the power button to get it to start back up. when it would come on, it would switch between charging and not charged quite rapidly even though my power cord was in. now however, it has shut down and will not start up. the battery is fully charged. anyone have any ideas?

I'm telling you. I have lost all faith with Apple. The old iBook I had, 800MHz G4, simply worked fine with no problem waking up or starting up, although it's just a bit slow. Now, I am super frustrated when it just couldn't wake up, either with the sleep light flashing or not, ie it's black screen initially and when I press the Power button once to get it back to life, it just stays black!!!
So the only thing to do is to force power down by pressing the Power button for 10 seconds. Then I press the Power button once to start up, but it just stays black screen. I've left my iBook in that state for a day now, hoping that it will come back alife. But no! And the worst is, I had a similar problem starting up from wake just the day before. I called the Help Desk and they advised me step by step, from taking out the battery, to pressing OptionsCommand+PR, and OptionsCommand+OC, and doing Apple Hardware Test. The iBook seems to just work fine while on the phone with them. And barely 3 hours later, the thing just couldn't wake up. I've powered down and up many times now, and I've left it powering up, but still black screen till now (one day already).
Finding out about resetting PMU on the support page, I've also tried that, but it still can't work.
And you know what? I've sent this unit for repair 3 times already! First they say it's the HDD problem, so they changed that. Then when it still happened, they say it's the logic board problem, so they changed that for me. And again when it happened, they changed another logic board for me. So now, it's the fourth time, what do you think I should do? I don't think going back changing another logic board will help!
I am in fact ****** off! If Macs are great, then why me? Why my iBook? I am telling this forum that we cannot accept a big corporation giving us sub-standard products. I've since read this forum carefully and found that many of us faced the same problem! We just cannot sit down idly and let the company get away with it. This is a warning to fellow users out there that face this same problem. Let us voice out our frustrations and make Apple give us some compensation for it. I say this because I depend on my laptop iBook for presentation to clients, and this happened exactly twice when I was in front of my clients. I don't mind losing face but can Apple compensate me for my loss of business and future business from my clients?
Voice out strongly your unhappiness to Apple now!

Iphone 6 randomly shut off and will not turn back on - help!

I bought my IPhone 6 last fall from T-Mobile. My iPhone 6 was working just fine about an hour ago. Went to hit the home button to check the time and it would not turn on. It appears to have randomly shut off and now it will not turn back on. Tried holding the power button - nothing... same with the home button. Assuming I need to take it in for service, but I'm not sure if there is some easy fix for this.

Air Port Application automatically shuts down and will not start

This week my airport application started automatically turing off and it will not turn back on unless I restart the computer. I feel like I've tried everything. I've had to restart three times just getting in here to pst this. At first it was a couple times a day, not it's every few minutes. I blame Tehter.com. At the same time this started, I downloaded the free trial of tether.com software. For it to work you need to turn off airport, so I do. But now I'm at work and have wireless access so airport is on, but not for long. Does it make sense to anyone that the tether program, though closed, could cause this. Is there a preferences file or a cookie or something that can be causing it? I can't be restarting me computer every ten minutes.

1) Make sure database control is not running
2) Go to <Oracle_Home>/<hostname>_<sid>/
3) Look for a file named emctl.pid
4) If it exists delete it (normally this is done,when database control is shutdown)
5) If that does not help call Oracle support

HT1222 I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

This can happen with faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
Model: HP p7-1247c
Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is: "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
If no change, continue:
2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
If no change, continue:
3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store.
