IPhone 5 wouldn't turn back on, Why?

I put my iPhone 5 on charge last night when I went to bed. When I got up this morning, it was turned off. It would not turn back on. I held the sleep button and the home page button in for 5 to 10 sec. It powered on. Why did it do this?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Satellite C660-2EL turned off - wouldn't turn back on but now

I hope this is the right place to put this. I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-2EL and last night it powered off with no warning, no nothing. It wouldn't turn back on at all, it just sort of made this noise like it was dying a slow death and had the green light etc, but then turned back off again, I did notice my battery had come lose (something that happens occasionally) so I put it back in, and tried again, nothing.
I also tried again with my charger in and everything in place, this time there was a flashing orange light, no green light and a really horrific squeaky type noise. Now, come this morning, I decided to try it all again and it's working? *Anyone know what this might of been?*
I have insurance and I'm thinking of just taking it to them because of this and seeing what they think, as this is the second time this has happened, though the first time, it never turned back on and according to Toshiba it had water damage and was therefore my fault and I had to send it to the normal place for it to be fixed.
Thanks all!

> according to Toshiba it had water damage and was therefore my fault and I had to send it to the normal place for it to be fixed.
Your described problem sounds definitely like it would be hardware related problem.
It seems an technician has checked the unit and it was an water damage
Possibly the motherboard is affected or an RAM slot/module i think only technician can provide an exact diagnosis after the hardware has been checked.

IPhone 4 will not turn back on no water damage

My Iphone 4 will absolutely not turn back on. I've tried everything I've read online. I tried resetting it by pressing both the home and power switch for 10 seconds, then I plugged it in and tried that again. There is no water damage, and it froze when I was taking a picture so I put it in my purse and when I took it out it had turned itself off. ITunes isn't recognizing that it is plugged in, and I've tried charging it for a while and it still isn't turning on. There is a little light coming from the headphone jack too...
HELP!

Light coming from the headphone jack...? Why do you feel the need to specify that there was no water damage?
Are the moisture sensors tripped?
If it won't power on at all, it sounds like you'll have to take it in to the genius bar and have it looked at.

Iphone 4 will not turn back on

I have an 8GB iphone 4 through at&t and it has been dropped in water twice but dried out in rice and worked perfectly fine afterwards. However last night my daughter got aholod of it and was chewing on the top of it and when I took it away it white screened, froze at the homescreen and then shut off. It turned back on several minutes later and was perfectly fine. When I had taken it from her, it had no drool on it or anything so I don't think any water got into it. Shortly after it turned back on it shut off but not completely, the back light was still on (meaning if I went into a dark room it was a blueish black light) and I waited for the battery to die. I even put it in rice overnight to ensure that had any drool gotten inside of it, that it would dry out. I have tried connecting it to the charger, to the computer, to itunes, holding down the power button, holding down the power and home button at the same time, nothing works. I haven't called my carrier yet but I have no doubt they'll re-direct me to Apple and apple wont cover it.. any suggestions at all? Also, does anyone know the cost of a replacement phone from apple? I know it'll be expensive, but I'm under contract and kind of screwed here.

IPhone crashes and not turning back on

Hi to all of you.
First I wanna apoligize if I'm posting this in the wrong discution board, I am new here
So, here's my problem. I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1. I got the phone last summer, with iOS 3 point something, and I updated it to it's current iOS. I also unlocked it and jailbroke it, because that was the only way i could use it here in Macedonia.
Anyway, the phone worked perfectly for like a year until a while ago when it started crashing and not turning back on.
For example, I'm leaving the phone to charge trough the night(as usual), then I'm using it for listening to music for like half an hour on my way to college. Now the interesting thing...the phone crashes after like half an hour of usage time, and that's usualy at over 90% of baterry, or just over 80%.
Nevermind, the thing is, after it crashes, there is no way you can turn it back on, even though it had, let's say, 87% of battery power. When I try to turn it back on, the apple logo comes out like usual and fades away after a short while. If I continue trying it's gonna be the same thing, or even it's gonna show that red baterry bar telling me that I have to plug the phone to charge. And when I do that, the phone turns back on and it shows that it has like 60% of battery power(***?) or even less than 5%, it depends on the mood of my iPhone -.-
And if somehow I manage to turn on the phone without plugging it in, when I go to check the usage stats, it says "Usage time will be shown after iPhone is fully charged"
So, my question is, what should I do? Is it the battery? Should I get a new one, or maybe should I update my iOS?
I just want to mention that if I update my iOS, I HAVE to unlock the phone if I wanna use it here.
Sorry if I took you a lot of time explainig my problem.
Any help will be appreciated

These are signs of faulty battery. Battery replacement at Apple Store is $80, and you will get perfect working iPhone 4 same as your current iPhone, except it will be working. Make Genius Reservation and take to Apple. Or have battery replaced elsewhere.

IPhone 5 screen wont turn back on after making a call.

When I put my phone to my ear, the screen turns black, like it should, but once I'm done, it wont turn back on... It does the same thing with siri. I active the raise to speak option and the screen turns black when I do it. I then have to press the sleep button two times to get to my lock screen. Is this an hardware or a software problem? If it is software, can an upcoming update fix it?

I don't beleive this is a known problem and you should probably bring your phone to a local Genius Bar (make an appointment here) as this is likely a hardware issue (a problem with your phone realizing that you removed it from your ear).
If you're willing to tinker with it a bit, you can determine if this is a software issue by backing up your iPhone (separately ensure your photos, videos and music is backed up) and then "Restore" your phone. If the restoration solves the problem, you're dealing with a software issue. If the problem still exists, you're almost definitely dealing with a hardware issue.

Iphone 4s won't turn back on

Hit the home button to view my notifications and in a split second it went back to black and won't turn back on
I have plugged it in and it won't charge or register in iTunes
I have assitive touch so i'm unable to press the home and power and try that method
Phone was at room temperature at the time
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thank you for any suggestions

If your home button is broken and the phone does not charge anymore, you'll have to get it serviced.

My iphone 5 will not turn back on!

My iphone 5 died and will not turn back on. Ive tried everything from wiggling the mute button to pressing both home and lock buttom together. Its had 9hours charging time and still nothing. I know that the charger is in working order as i tried it on my boyfriends phone and it charged the iphone without fail. I havent dropped the phone or got it wet to give it water damage so its extremely odd how it suddenly wont work. I didnt purchase the phone from apple but a company that sells second hand phones...meaning my serial number isnt valid for sending it to be serviced with apple. Ive only had the phone 6months and am desperate to get it back in working order.
Any suggestions? many thanks.

Try holding down the home button and power button together while the phone is connected to power. If that doesn't work you would want to try putting the phone into recovery mode (hold down home button, and while you're holding the home button down connect it to a computer with iTunes opened up). Hopefully you won't have to do the recovery mode option because that would erase your phone but that usually gets the phone turned on. Hope this helps!

So my iPod 5 was working fine until about 30 minutes ago when I updated it and put it in my bag and grabbed it and wouldn't turn back on. What should I do?

I was just using my iPod put it down for about an hour and then suddenly the screen wouldn't turn on and no sense of life at all. It didn't help that my home button is broken river but this is not normal also I have never dropped it.

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.

My Macbook Pro ran out of battery last night and wouldn't turn back on even when connected to power for a period of time. However, when I woke up, it did turn on. Is there a reason this happened and should I get it looked at?

Last night, I was watching something on my Macbook Pro and it died (out of battery). I went to plug it in and waited a couple of minutes to try and start it back up. However, when I connected the power source the light was green, which could not have been the case since I know 100% it was out of battery. I proceeded to hold the start button for a long period of time, but my computer made no noise and refused to turn on - it looked like for all intensive purposes it was dead. I left it alone overnight praying that it would be alright in the morning and luckily, when I opened the computer this morning it was restarted and fine. I'm concerned because I've had this happen to me a couple of times and while it always turns back on, I feel like there is a bigger issue that I need to get addressed. Can anyone help me with this? Any ideas? Thank you!

Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

Help me!!!!! my iphone 4 will not turn back on HELP

i was watching a movie in my living room and the last time i looked at my phone it was at 40% and the next thing i know that it is turned off and will not show any sign of turning back on

Charge it for 30 minutes with the wall adapter. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing happens your phone has expired, or at least has a bad battery.
