My messaging app is frozen and I can't text after I tried to spam my friend with a 15,000 character text. I hard closed the app and restarted my phone but still nothing. Please help.
I had the VERY same problem with a iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I did a hard reset and a full restore to factory settings and then a restore from a back up- nothing worked. I then read Cal4one's post on turning off the read text function (which I had just turned on days before to try out) and ta-da! all is well! I can now use Messages and when I go to attach a picture, the Photo library comes up quickly (it was not before the chance) and the Message app no longer crashes. Just to be safe, I turned off all reading functions in the Accessibility (settings/general/accessibility/speech) settings.

i erased my ipod in the setting because i wanted to restore my ipod and someone told me to delete it so i did and now its just a black screen and when i put it my pc it doesntt show up what do i do plz help
Connect the iPod to a charging source and then try the will not turn on topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
If you have a 2G iPod and did not have the iPod connected to a charging source it is likely that the battery fully drained before the erase was complete since it can take hours to do the delete. -
My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -
i restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?
I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

My phone shut off as I was charging it and now it has a black screen. Does anyone know how to fix this or what I can do?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried these? -
iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?
Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
- 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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

my ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

My iphone 5 fell down from the table and now I can't touch screen or do anything with it anymore. I send it to Istudio in Thailand and they said it is non authorized so they will not fix for me. I search google and they said that my LCD has problem but people in here said the chip inside my phone have problem??? Please tell me what I need to do. And if I have to change the new, how can I know it is new or fake? Could you give me the price of it please? I'm not Thai people. I study in here so I dont know where to fix it. Please recommend me any truthly store in there if you know. Thank you so much!!!
You will need to wait for Apple to rectify the issue. Do not make changes at your end.

My 17" Macbook Pro won't start at all. I shut it down last night at 80% and today I get only a black screen with no sound, no light, nothing. The power cord light does show orange when plugged in. I don't know exactly which OS it is. It's model # A1286. I've tried all the tips about holding down different keys to no avail. Anyother ideas? (The serial # is w8******agu if that helps.) Many thanks.
<Edited By Host>I had the exact same issue... Macbook Pro late 2008 with Core2Duo. Went to all the steps suggested in the knowledge base, tried to reset the SMC, but to no avail. Took it to the Macstore in Mexico, the wanted to replace logic board for $800.... Finally, I sent it to a logic board repair service, where they "fixed" the logic board for $200. It worked perfectly for 4 months, then happened again
Any ideas?? I would appreciate any help!!!!! -

my iphone 5s has been showing a blue screen and shuttiing down. yesterday night it did just that and now will not reboot or even restore through itunes.
what should i do?Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
