MB just turned off!
I was using it in bed last night, watching some videos and it was hot; not more so than always though. All of a sudden it just turned off. I tried turning it on twice and it would start to start up and then it would go right back off. The third try, it started fine. I might have had the vent covered by the sheets. My question is this: When it overheats, does it just turn off like that? Or does this sound like something else someone has encountered for a different reason?

my iphone I fell to the ground yesterday, from a height of approximately 1 meter. after this I trailed off, now only turns on when I plug the usb but the apple appears and just turn off and turn back, there is nothing more that I recommend doing?
With that behavior you need to take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for an out-of-warranty replacement. In the US that is $269 for the iPhone 5.

my iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?
If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support
“the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.

i have an iphone 4s and it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on until i got home and plugged it in to the mains. however it wont connect to my carrier and wont let me turn wifi on or use the internet. all my data is still in place. however when i disconnect from the charger it switches straight off immediately. it also just flashes up the apple icon (on 10 seconds, off 10 seconds.......) when i connect to either car charger or computer. it also resets itself every single time i turn it back on using the mains charger. please help me understand what is happening to my phone
is there anything apple could do if i took it to one of their main shops???
Kris (bulzy_23)Sounds like a hardware failure.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced. -
my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!
It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

Start with this --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
Next Restore the phone using itunes and set up as a new phone --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If the problem persists you have a hardware problem.
All of this assumes your phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is all bets are off. -
Phone just turned off on its own?
Hello
My phone ws fully charged and it just turned off. It wouldnt turn on again with just the top power button.
I had to hold the home button and the top button and it worked.
Is this a fault that i should talk to Apple about as im worried it will do it again and i have only had the phone a monthteamshock nick wrote:
Yes all working thanks.
But this is the first phone i have ever had that's crashes. I can understand why its crashed but I don't think it's right that it's done it after only a month
It's not a phone. It's a Unix computer than can make phone calls. It's a good idea to reboot it periodically, say, once a week. Not as often as you have to reboot Windows -
My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?
There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally. It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix. Do search on something like "Home button won't work". It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key. Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s. You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.

My ipod touch just turned off on me, the screen just turned off and now it wont turn on whatever i do. I tryed plugging it in to charge and pressing down on the hold button and home button but its not doing anything, How do i fix it? Not sure what my operating system is but i know i havent updated to the newest version.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Depending on the age and use of the phone, this could be a battery problem and you should get your battery checked by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place.

HT1414 dont know what to do. i cant open my ipad. it just turned off. help me pls. thank you
dont know what to do. i cant open my ipad. it just turned off. help me pls
If you are sure that the battery didn't die on you and that the battery has some power left in it, reboot the iPad and see if it starts up.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
What do you do when the fingerprint id just turns off and there is no start backup

Thanks for reporting back.
I was thinking earlier today that when you delete a cookie in Firefox, Firefox directs a database engine to delete that row of data, and the database engine modifies the cookies.sqlite file so that Firefox no longer sees that cookie. However, for efficiency, database files are not constantly resized like regular document files; the space is retained to reduce the overhead of requesting space from the operating system. Therefore, some pieces of the cookie may remain in the file until it is cleaned out or overwritten by the database engine. There are some utilities to "vacuum" these database files, which should clean up the unused space. If you see this problem in the future, where a cookie you removed and which is invisible in Firefox can be found using an external utility, it would be interesting to "vacuum" the file instead of deleting it to see that cleans up the cookie crumbs. -
My iphone just turned off and will not turn back on. What should I do?

My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??
Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.
