  • My computer will turn on for a second then shut off.

    I had just shut down the computer 30 min before so when i go back to turn it on i press the on button sounds like its starting up then shuts off it has a full charge took out the battery and tried it again. still doesn't work i kept try to turn it on and on but itll just act like its starting up then shut off. sometimes if i let go of the on button too early the light will just come on then immediately shut off. what do i do everything i own thats apple has been breaking this week.

    - If it is only one app try deleting the app and then redownload/install the app.
    - Reset your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore your iPod.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My camera only stays on for a second then shuts off. I have the new iPad  with retina display

    My new iPads camera shuts off a second after I turn it on, what can I do ?

    Try closing the Camera app:
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
    2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
    If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • I can't open iTunes on my iPhone 4S. It opens for a second then shuts off.

    Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

    Hi there Powerpuff19,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • B757e powers up for 2 seconds, then shuts down.

    I don't know if I am in the right section, but l have a B575e .
    I left it  on sleep for about 4 days, when I opened it today, it was Off.
    I tried to power it up, but it only comes on for a second, then shuts off.
    I tried charging the battery, and tried to power it up with the charger connected.
    Also tried removing the Battery and using just the charger.
    Still same thing. I brought it used, so I don't think it is still under warranty.
    The PO said it was only a year old or so, and had only used it a few times.
    It was working fine up till this point.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Tony
    Solved!

    OMG it worked, what is that some kind of re set?
    What happened? Should I not leave it on sleep for 4 days or so?
    Booted up, seemed to take a little longer, IDN if it's related?
    Seemed to hang on the sign in screen after entering password.
    It wants me to up grade Free to windows *.1 should I do it. It already has windows 8 in it. 8.0 I guess, l am not sure.
    Thank you for the help, I take treatments mon and tues, and I like to have the lap top there.

  • I have a iPhone 5 and it started to shut off at random times and takes a while to turn back on. Sometimes I'll be doing something on my phone and it'll flicker then shut down. Is this a battery problem??

    I have an iPhone 5 that just started to shut off by itself. Any suggestions why?

    Hi there wy lassie,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

    Perform a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this doesn't help, connect the phone to the charger and leave it for about 30 minutes and see if it comes on. If not, while it is connected try the reset I described first.

  • HT4061 The screen of my iphone turned to blue and then shutted down. And it couldn't power on for few days.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • HT201412 I have restored my iphone 5 for the second time now, and it keeps crushing after 1hour of having completely restored it through iTunes. What am I supposed to do?

    I have restored my iphone 5 for the second time today, and it keeps crushing after 1hour of having completely restored it through iTunes. What am I supposed to do? I deleted some apps I had recently installed, even changed the background refresh. What else?

    Well... it said iPhone Recovery Mode, and I pressed 'Restore iPhone' after which it asked me if I am sure that I want to restore the phone to factory settings, I pressed 'yes'. After 20-30min it eventually came to the 'Hello' page where I had to sign in with my Apple ID, and then saw the icons of each of my apps. which one by one turned from grey to their full colour as they downloaded one by one. After 1-2 hours of having completed all the app downloads, I found the phone shut and could not turn it on with the normal way. And this happened after 2 restore sessions. Is there something I need to do, or I need to request a replacement. I have had the phone for 11months, and crushing problems begun on the 13 of Nov, which was a few days after I updated to iOS7. But today is already 48hours since I have not been able to use my iPhone properly.

    Hello Tara-louise,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was booting just to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you are experiencing:

  • How to hold a texts scroll for 3 seconds then scroll off?

    I'm using tweenlite. How do I hold the scroll for 3 seconds and scroll off the screen?
    Here is my current tweenlite code.
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 40, {x:-stage.stageWidth*2.25, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
    Thank you.

    Okay, I'm not getting what I wanted. Here is my code:
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5});
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 2);
        timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scrollOut);
        timer.start();
    function scrollOut(e:TimerEvent):void{
        TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:-200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
    I want the tweenlite to wait 3 seconds and the proceede with scroll off the screen that's why I have the scrollOut function; however, the effect is that the scrolling from right is pausing for 3 seconds every 2 seconds. How do I modify this?

  • I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

    I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?

    Sorry, but it's not.  The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.
