My curve begins to reset but then turns off!
I had to manually reset my Blackberry yesterday. The reset screen came up with the little white bar beginning to load. however after about 10 seconds the whole phone just shut down like it ran out of pwer. The phone continues to reset itself for about 10 seconds but contionue to turn itself off
HELP??
The automatic fsck is trying to repair a corruption problem with the drive and failing.
Good news, it sounds like a software problem and less likely a hardware one, however I suspect the Macintsh HD partiton which holds OS X, programs and your files will have to be erased.
If you don't have a couple of backups of your data off the machine (don't only trust TimeMachine because you can't verify it and it can restore crap) then you may need to do this first.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Then run through these steps and depending how far you get...depends if you do the above or if it will boot enough you can grab files manually to a storage drive before further action.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Most commonly used backup methods
If this is too much for you, then there are local PC/Mac software repair shops that also do data recovery as long as you didn't use Filevault or encryption.

I dropped my iphone the logo appears for 3-4 seconds but then turned off
my maid recently dropped my iphone 5s now there is no scratch on LCD but the iphone get on for 3-4 seconds the logo also appears but then the screen get off the screen only turn on at charging
You have a big problem. Apple does not do business in Pakistan. So there is no way you can get Apple to fix it unless you take it back to the US. Mailing it back won't work; they will not accept shipments from outside of the country. About your only other option is to take it to a reputable repair shop in Pakistan. And hope you are lucky, because Apple does not sell spare parts, so any repair will not use authentic parts.

Computer tries to boot but then turns off
I had to force shut down my computer, now it won't come back on. It comes on, and gives me a spinning wheel and a progress bar across the bottom. The bar doesn't get very far and then the computer just turns off. Tried to start in safe mofe and it did the same thing. Was on for a while and then just turned off. Not sure what to do. Please help!

How to extend battery life?
Hi Micsher,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The information below may help you troubleshoot your iPhone battery life issue:
iPhone Battery and Power - Apple Support
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
Battery & power
Is your iPhone battery draining too quickly or not holding a charge? Try restarting it first. You can also adjust several settings to extend the battery life of your iPhone.
Restarting your iPhone
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on top of your iPhone, then drag the slider to turn it off. Press the button again to restart.
The article below explains how to get the most out of the battery life of your iPhone. I've included some of the highlights below ... click on the link for complete information.
Apple - Batteries - iPhone
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
Optimize Your Settings
Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
Change Alert Style to None.
Turn Badge App Icon off.
Turn Sounds off.
Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
Viewing Usage Statistics
Knowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
Cheers,
- Judy -
I have the information in the question. Thank you.
Did you try resetting?
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data. -
As stated above
Do not let the battery run completely dead, this is not good for lithium ion batteries.

Ipad charges and turns off, turns on then turns off again
HI, i am suddenly having problems with my iPad. its approx 1 1/2 years old. Last night it went flat, while playing candy crush. so i put it on charge last night, this morning its saying its flat (so a full 7hrs on charge). so all day from 8am to 1pm its on charge, but still saying its flat (comes up with a battery thing thats red). so i noticed during charging, it will turn on for a little bit and then suddenly turn off and will do this a lot of times. i have tried the different cords and charges. plus i have connected it the iMac as well. when it suddenly "loads up" to turn on i have tried the "resetting" but it turns off quicker than i can do it. i have even tried it while its off, but to no avail.
so it is recognising charging but won't charge. it will turn on, then off, then on, then off. is there anything i can do really? iTunes won't recognise it. when its plugged it.
any ideas or help?Howdy Stevie,
As someone who uses my iPad daily for everything from work to recreation, I know I would be unhappy if mine acted the way your iPad is, apparently not charging and being unable to turn on. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why is my 4s which has been reset to new turned off but battery going flat in a day
This phone won't hold it's charge. It has been restored, setup as a new phone but not activated and then turned off and yet the battery still dies. When it is setup it wouldn't last a day either that is why I tried the restore and set it up as a new phone. I want to sell it but I can't while it is behaving the way it is. It has a new battery so it isn't the battery. Just don't know why it is doing it when as I said it has been reset to a new phone but left at the 'hello' screen and turned off and it still goes flat.
There is probably a short somewhere or there could be a bad chip on the logic board.

My ipad is flat and when I plug it in to charge it just repeatedly turns on and then turns off but isn't charging. I tried to plug into itunes but it just goes through the same ritual and can't maintain connection to itunes. What should I do ?
1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush -
when i click on an excel or word file in 2007 the program begins to open but then an error message says There was a problem sending the command to the program.
i am using office2007 with windows7 premium home edition. i have checked file associations., all DDE settings. i have even tried this in safe mode. the same thing happens. please note once i see the error. i can then go back to the file click on

a real PITA. anyone have any solution for this? Thanks
ken yanowHi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

I have moved old Back Up files from my external hard drive to the trash and as the Trash previews the files, i.e. counts them (over 850,000 files) it then begins to delete but then stops. Is it possible to move the files out of the Trash file and then only delete a small amount at one time?
See
Deleting backups via the Finder on Lion 10.7.x or later:
http://pondini.org/TM/12.html
Hold option (alt) while emptying the Trash.
