Iphone 4s won't turn back on no matter what I do. How should I fix it?
My iPhone today randomly turned off with about 15% left. I assumed it was just out of battery and plugged it in. After about 20 minutes there were still no signs of life and it wouldn't even give the low battery signal. So i plugged it into my computer. Still nothing. I switched chargers and tried on the wall and computer. It's been left charging for a few hours but nothing will turn it back on. When it's plugged into my computer and I go to iTunes, there is no recognition of my phone. Does anyone know what's wrong or what I can do? I leave for vacation early tomorrow.
Also, for extra, my sleep button has been broken for about 6 months so I use that other button to put it to sleep. I usually turn it on by just holding the home button once i plug it in but that obviously has done nothing.
Please try to help me.
Usually you would do a reset, by holding down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.
Since you have a broken sleep I don't see any other options .

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My Ipod touch 8gb will not turn back on no matter what i do i have tried just the power button, the power button and home button, and connecting it to the computer and the battery wasn't close to being dead non of them work what do i do?
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.

I gat a solid amber light once a week on my airport extreme, but all works fine. I have to unplug it to reset it and then the light turns back to green and it is good for another week and then it happens again. why is this and what can i do to fix it ?
Solid amber on an AirPort Extreme is an indication that the internal power supply is starting to act up.
If the AirPort Extreme is in warranty, it shouid be exchanged for another AirPort Extreme.
If the AirPort Extreme is several years old, keep any eye on things. When/if you find that you are having to reset the device several times a week, it's time to start thinking about a replacement device, as the end is near. -
My iPhone 4S won't turn back on after I do the reset
Somehow my iPhone won't charged and I decide to turn off but now I can't turn it back on again... I try everything but still not working...
Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. If still problem, and your decide to Restore your iPhone, try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

HELP!! my iPhone 4 won't turn back on!!
My phone shuts down sometimes even with full battery and I usually just restart it by holding the power button and the home button down at the same time. the problem is that now my phone is off BUT my power button is broken so I can't hold it and the home button down anymore to turn it on. I've already tried plugging it is but no luck. also, I 1. dont have the new software update so I can't get the button on the screen of the phone as a substitute and 2. my phone is already off so it won't help me
Sounds like it's time to purchase a replacement iPhone. The iPhone 4 has been out more than two years, so you got your money's worth out of it.

IPhone 4 won't turn back on!
In the middle of a call my phone turned off on its own. I tried holding down the home & lock button at the same time for 10 seconds and nothing. I tried plugging it into the charger, nothing. I tried plugging it into the computer and it doesn't recognize the phone. Now what? Any help?
If the hard reboot trick you tried didn't work, and you weren't recognized on iTunes, then you must have had some kind of memory card failure. I hope you have a backup. I am pretty sure Apple would replAce your phone if it broke from interior damage.

Iphone 4 Won't connect to Internet no matter what.
I've tried pratically everything besides laying a hand on my router.
I've resseted everything.
I've reseted the Network.
I've reseted the phone
I've turn off the phone.
I've entered the password correctly a million times.
All I get is the message "unable to connect"
All of my other devices such as my pc, my 3g, and my Android are sucessfully connected to the internet.
Any Ideas?Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
if that doesn't help, you do not want to go back to a prior iTunes version.
Since you restored from a backup, it could be something in the backup causing the problem, so restore as new instead.

My IPad 1 shows the Apple icon on the screen but it won't go to another screen or turn off. Has anyone else experienced this?
Try to reboot your iPad: Press and hold the power AND home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) your screen go blank momentarily - keep holding both buttons - until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should [hopefully] restart.
-
I have tried pressing both the home button and the power button and nothing happens at all. When I plug it into the mains nothing happens and the same with connecting to my computer. the battery was at around 60% a few minutes before it died so i have no clue as to what has happened :/
1. Reset iPad (ignore)
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air -
IPhone 4s won't turn on no matter what I do.? Whats going on.?
So a about 2 months ago my phone was overheating so I took it out of it's case to cool down and it fell and the back completely shattered. After that no sound or vibrations were coming from it at all.Then a few weeks ago my phone completely shut off and now it won't turn back on no matter what I do. I hold down the power and lock button for 10 seconds and plug it in to my computer while still holding the home button, but nothing happens. I've looked everywhere on the internet and can't find anything about it. And also when I try every now and then, the apple logo pops up like its turning on but it never does. The sign just disappears and won't show up again.
