My i phone 4s battery dies and now wont switch back on, when plugged into the charger it just vibrates and sometimes beeps, but the screen will not come on? i have tried rebooting it but it still wont work, i just need to be able to access the memory so i can save all my stuff to icloud as i stupidly havent done this yet, is there anyway this can be done?

Hey tessatony,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone 4s is not functioning properly, and that you wish to try to make a backup before troubleshooting. From the information you have provided, it sounds like the device is indeed turning on and responding when plugged in, however the display is not lighting up. Have you attempted to plug the iPhone into a computer with iTunes? If iTunes recognizes the phone, you can attempt to back it up:
iTunes: About iOS backups

Afterwards, attempt to restart and/or reset the phone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If your issue persists, your iPhone may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process. Included, you will find information on topics such as warranty, service pricing, and express replacement service.

Good grief! I had not plugged the USB jack all the way into the headphone port on the iPod. Having taken that action, the iPod shuffle works great. My bad, as they say.

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

Upgrades ipad2 to 7.1 battery died and now it's locked

I upgraded my ipad2 to 7.1 and it was working fine until my battery died. Now that it's charged it's locked and I have never created a pass code and I can't get in. Help!

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Z10 Battery died and now it wont turn back on after charging for 3 -5 hours

My phone completely died and i didnt charge it for about a day. I went to charge it the following day and it wont hold a charge. I plug the charger in and the red light on the top right of the phone turns on and then blackberry appears on the screen shortly after and then it just turns off.
I plugged it into my computer and it wont even recognize my device.
I also had it plugged in for a few hours and then pulled the battery out and for a few seconds and reinserted it and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

My ipod battery died and now it won't recharge help!

Seriously? If your phone's not working, bring it to Apple for evaluation.

Battery died and now files are lost

The battery doesn't last on my ibook, so it's constantly plugged in. Recently the plug quit working so the ibook was without power for I don't know how long. Now, all my files are gone. the main thing I want to retrieve is my iphoto library. Please, I hope someone can give me an idea how to find them.
ibook G3 dual usb Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Metgirl:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Look in your Pictures folder for your iPhoto Library folder. If it's there look inside the iPhoto Library/Originals folder to see if you're full sized image files are in the subfolders. They should be. What probably happened is the loss of power corrupted the database file inside the library and when you open iPhoto it thinks there are no files.
If the above is correct then move the current iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library. When that library is open, drag the Originals folder from the library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window. This will create a new library with your photos and the same rolls that were in the old library. Unfortunately you'll lose your albums, keywords, comments, books, slideshows, etc. but you will have your photos back. To protect against similar corruption of the database file in the future see my Tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

My apple iphone 4s wont charge! its showing that the power is connected, but not showing that its charging! phone is turned off and now wont turn on

I phone 4s is not charging, its showing that the power is connected, but still not charging

Hi Sharky,
First, I would make sure you are charging using the wall adapter and cable that came with your phone. Plug into wall outlet.
If it was completely drained it can take about 20 minutes for it to fully get enough power back to even start up.
After about 20 minutes of charging in the wall outlet try turning it on like normal.
If it doesn't respond by just pushing the power button, try pushing and holding the power and home buttons together for about 15 seconds to see if it will startup.

My ipod nano's battery died and now won't turn back on... help? =]

Okay so I was listening to my ipod in the car and it died. I tried to charge it at my friend's house with her iphone charger and it wouldn't turn back on. I plugged it in at home and it still won't start and itunes shows that it's not even plugged in. I tried that shindig where you switch the hold button then press those two buttons but that didn't work either... help?

My 3rd gen nano did the exact same thing to me as well today. I tried doing the reset and nothing happened. I tried calling Apple, but they said it's out of phone warranty, so they couldn't do much. They said they didn't recognize the error I'm getting, so they recommended taking it into a store. When I attach it to my computer, I don't get any response from the ipod, but my computer says that there is new hardware that says "Apple Recovery (DFU) Driver." iTunes tries to read the ipod but says it has an unknown error (-185). I am extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions as to what is going on?

Battery died and now my 4s won't recharge - what's wrong?

My iphone 4s was at 1% so I turned it off and put it on my car charger. it wouldn't charge. then I borrowed someone else's charger and it still wouldn't charge. went home and tried my home charger, still no luck. What's going on? why won't it recharge? What can I do?

If it does not show charging on any of those chargers, it could be a problem with the dock connector. Easy solution is take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs inspect it and test it to see if something is wrong with the connector or battery or charging circuit.

Hello Cooper,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 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, see this 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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
