My 4s phone has gone black and just have an apple sitting on the screen. Have restore it 3 times after updating it and now will not work

Have a 4S after udpating software I can no longer use it. Black scrren with apple log is all I have. Have restore it 3 times and it worked then had another small update and this is now what I am left with.

Hey there janDkot1,
It sounds like you are unable to boot your phone completely. I recommend resetting the phone with this process:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the phone still will not boot, I would next put it into recovery mode and restore the phone again with the steps in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

My iPhone 3gs was charged completely and just randomly turned off today. The screen is blank and the phone does not respond to a charger or the computer. Is it broken or fixable?

Thanks! It worked

Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally

It has only happened for the last month or so
Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop button

Who replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

I am using iPhone 5 and tried to Erase All Contents and Settings but it is just showing an apple sign on the screen and nothing is happening now for about 3 days now. All it does is eat up my battery and still show apple sign after charging! Help!!!!

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Regards,

Preview has gone black in just one of my imovies.

Suddenly preview has completely blacked out.

I have exactly the same problem. Clips that I could preview just a few days ago, no longer play. I have verified that I can re-import an existing clip and can then play or preview it. I am concerned, however, on the impact of re-importing all the clips on my current projects that use them. Does anyone have any ideas on either the cause of the preview problem or a way to reimport all the clips without having to rebuild my projects?

Display has gone haywire - all I get is a line across the screen

So, I'm more than a little out of my element when working with my PowerBook but I really want to save this computer and I hope you guys can help. When I turn it on it makes the harmonious "bow" noise and then the gray start-up screen with the apple in the middle shows up and it's all moving along like normal. But then when it's supposed to show my main desktop screen the screen instead goes entirely black except for one strip that runs the length of the monitor. When I put a DVD into it the machine autostarts it and I can hear sound just fine but still the display is wacky. Is there anything I can do? I wouldn't mind hooking it up to an external monitor but I just don't know how. Can anyone point me in the right (and hopefully affordable) direction?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You don't say anything about which 15" Powerbook model you have, so in general, it may have come with a DVI to VGA adapter, which is what you could use that to attach a cable going to an external monitor that requires a regular PC cable. Or, if your external monitor accepts a DVI cable, you could use that connection.
If you can hook up an external monitor, and if it works, I would want to run the Apple hardware test, or either of the TechTools programs would work too. The hardware test will test the video hardware, and point out any issues. The Apple hardware test is on the original OS X disks that shipped with your machine (unless you have the first Powerbooks shipped, in which case they are online).

After update 3.1 - 3G does not work after phone sits idle

Updated from 3.01 to 3.1 - went smoothly, no problems. Restored my latest backup without issue. All is good. A few minutes later I tried to make a call and it failed. I tried to access the web - failed. Rebooted phone comes up as expected. Made a call, access to web working. 10 minutes later tried to make another call - failed; access to web failed again too. Switched over to Edge, rebooted. Calls and web access work. Waited 10-15 minutes, tried again; Edge still working. Switched back to 3G, rebooted. Same issue - calls/web work initially but after a short time, all calls and web access fail. I went through the 3.1 restore process again -- started over like it was a new phone. Again, the update worked without any issues/errors. I was able to restore my backup and all was good. But, same 3G problems occurred. So just for fun, I ran the Iphone config utility and captured the console log during a phone reboot sequence. After the phone booted up calls and web access were working with 3G. Then, let the phone sit idle for a while and saw these event occur in the log; the first 5 entries were made when I successfully sent a text message. After that message was sent I let the phone sit for a while. The next couple of entries were interesting. After the 'deactivated PDP context' messages appeared I could no longer make calls or access the web with 3G. Anyone else see this?
I never ever had this problem with 3.01 software.

I thought I'd post you a quick response because you described exactly the issues I was having. After my phone was idle for a while, my iPhone would refuse to get data over 3G.
I've tested this thoroughly and I'm able to "trip up" the phone into a state where it can't download data from the 3G network. But turning airline mode on for about 30 seconds then off again resets forces a renegotiate with the cell tower/3g and everything seems to work again about a minute later.
Nothing untoward listed in the console at this point either - The PDP context that you mentioned that was deactivated was more than likely the Internet Tethering. (It's usually PDP context 1, by the looks of things).
I think I might switch off 3G and see if that helps until Apple fix this issue. It is related to the wifi issues that others have reported - As I've seen my iPhone unable to download information via 3G if wifi is turned on, but you don't connect to a wifi network. But I can't seem to reproduce this reliably.

After installing Lion my keyboard will not work at all and it will not recognize my wi-fi connection at times. Any ideas for a solution to this problem?

It will not let me type anything now and the wi-fi connection is not recognized at times! Please help!! This only happened after I downloaded Lion.

Now that you have restored it to Apple software, we can help - no kidding.
If WiFi is grayed out (tap Settings first) then you will not be able to select WiFi. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If you can select WiFi, your touch will then detect WiFi networks that are within range. Networks that are protected by encryption will display with a closed lock. Open networks will have an open lock. Networks are displayed by strongest signal to weakest signal.
Closed/locked networks require a password or WEP key to join. Open networks often require that you agree to terms and conditions for that network. This usually occurs with a Safari-like screen that appears 15-30 seconds after you tap on the network. Until you go through that screen, it might look like you are connected but you are not.
Spend some time going through the basic WiFi troubleshooting guide: httpL//support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

My ipod nano 6th generation got dropped in water for 3 seconds and now will not work

Any suggestions, my ipod 6th generation got dropped in the pool and immediately got pulled out, it workled again then but now wont turn on.

See this article! (i'v heard this actually works [sometimes]). You might also try rapping your ipod in a towel and letting it set in the sun for a day! However, if these do not work you may need to take it to your local apple store for repair!

Update for v22.0 will not work and says "update cannot be verified"

I've tried updating when the pop-up window comes up and provides the link / button. I've also tried going through "Help" then "About" then "Apply Update" and still it tells me that "The installation failed because the update could not be verified". I currently have v14.0 and would like to update immediately however that does not seem possible.

You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 22.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
You may need to disable security software temporarily if you keep having problems.
