Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 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, seethis 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.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did. In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds. If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it. I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change. All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

My macbook air will not switch on any ideas - how much is the support calls for a one off??

I cannot switch on my Macbook Air - It has power to it and it is warm under it - but nothing on the screen and pressing the turn on switch has no effect. Could it be the battery?? The screen?? or what - very annoying as it has only just had its warranty expired. I have been on to support and they want to charge me for the call - but how much??does anyone know the answers to my questions please xx

Take it to an Apple vendor/retailer to arrange for repair.

I have the Apple MacBook Pro MC723LL/A and I need a new battery.

Which one would I buy? Thanks

No, that one is for the pre-unibody MBPs models "early 2008" and older that had user-removeable batteries (and silver keyboards). Won't work in the newer "black keys" models like yours.
If anything, it's this one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB772LL/A/rechargeable-battery-15-inch-macbook -pro-aluminum?fnode=5a
However, the advert does not make it clear if it its limited to only certain mdles of 15-inch MBPs.
Best advice is in Leroy's post--take it to Apple and let then figure out which battery you need.
NOTE: Don't put too much faith in the negative reviews in the Store. When people post here that their battery failed prematirely, about 90 percent of the time their complaint includes. "I don't understand. I never use the computer on battery!"
These batteries will die young if not used. I try to run mine on battery once or twice a week.

My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

How can I fix my iPod that the screen shows the apple logo then goes black then back and will NOT connect to iTunes?

I turned off my iPod then turned it back on. The normal apple logo appeared on the screen but then it went black and it won't connect to my iTunes. What should I do and what are my opptions.

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 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 iPhone4 randomly turns off, and will not turn back on until I plug it into an external power source. This time, it wont turn back on. it is plugged into my computer and it keeps lighting up with the apple logo, then turning off. Help?

I am not touching it at all, the phone is just powering itself up until it shows the apple logo on the screen, then it turns itself off, and repeats.

I have the same prob

I have mac, desktop v. 3.6.16 will not update to 6. My mac laptop is updated to 6 but runs very slow. How do I get my laptop back to 3.6.16

Desktop is an imac is 10.6.8 running firefox v 3.6.16 and runs well. My mac laptop also 10.6.8 automatically upgraded to 6.0 and runs very slow, and I do not like the layout of the toolbar. How do I get my laptop back to 3.16.6

Now it is clear which it wasn't before! We can't see what you have done or not so a good descriptions does help when communicating.
If you have done all you say and some restarts too I would advise you to do the install of 10.6 from the installation disc. Restart the computer and then install the 10.6.6 Combo update. You just install "on top" of what you have. No archiving or formatting.

My camera will not open. Any suggestions? I click the app for it, but then it stays closed on the screen.

Whenever I click the app for my built-in camera, shutter screen never opens to view anything. It works whenever I take a picture through a msg but not whenever i directly click the camera button. Help?

If the Reset Ian mentioned doesn't work...
Shut down and restart the Mail app...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Mail app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the Mail app

Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

Phone has frozen and will not switch on

Twitter was not working so I unistalled it from Iphone. Reinstalled it but the phone then froze. Turned phone off but now it will not switch back on and is frozen on the apple screen. Help

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes less than 20 seconds time of holding both buttons.
If this does not work you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you decide to Restore the Firmware, connect iPhone to computer with iTunes open, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, Restore the Firmware. Again usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

I just got home from the Mac store where I was told I needed a new battery. The charger cord is fluctuating betwee steady green and a light blinking green. The problem is the icon read 31% charged. I thought if the light was green it was a all charged.

I just got home from the Apple store where I was told I need a new battery. The new battery is in, The charger light is bright green the icon reads 28%, and has flashed not charging a few times. I thought the green light meant the battery was charged? In fact the percentage is decreaciingand now the light is a light green flicker. Is something else wrong?

The Apple store already told you what was wrong.

My 3gs will not switch on it had 70% left in the battery tried charging but no good also tried soft reboot only get apple logo then goes off do i need a new battery?
