I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
Then I have to shut it down with the power button and then power it up as a reboot.
Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally. It seems to be a overnight problem.
Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings. Any suggestions? This is my first iPod and I am ready to take it back if I am unable to extend the playing time. Frustrating!

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck. My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep. Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures??? If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue. -
often for no apparent reason the computer crashes and nobody available to any command (keyboard or mouse), the images disappear. I am forced to shut down and restart the computer.
open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem for clues.

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks
paulThis isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'. -

phone was working three minutes ago, not it is completely black. When I put the charger on it, it does nothing. I can't see anything. Ive tried to hit the on off button, nothing, holding down the button on the bottom does nothing. Help please
First you can try to force reboot your phone. To do this:
1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.
If that doesn't work, you might need to hook the phone up to your computer and do a full restore through iTunes. -
My iphone is stuck on the itune screen. I have tried pushing the on/off and bottom buttons and the phone will turn off but come right back to the itune screen I also tried plugging my iphone into my computer and holding down the bottom button to see if i could get to the restore screen. Nothing, just the itune screen. Any ideas what to do to fix my phone?
Please read this article if you are unable to restore your device using typical process:

My iPad Air stalled during an update and will not restart even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

I have an iPhone 3Gs and it has froze on the apple logo. I have held the on/off button and the home button together but the apple logo keeps reappearing. What Can I Do?
Try plugging it into your computer, see if that clears it up or if you can perform a restore from your latest backup.

I currently use ibooks on my iphone 4s... I want to be able to send several documents at the same time in one email, I thought there was a way to do this? Can you please help?
Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

MY IPHONE 5 SUDDENLY HANGED FOR A WHILE AND THAN SHUT DOWN. NOW SCREEN IS BLACK AND PHONE ALMOST IS DEAD. ITS NOT RESPONDING ON ITUNES AND NOT EVEN ON CHARGING. KINDLY LET ME KNOW HOW TO START IT. ITS SEEMS TO BE DEAD.
THANKS,
ANSARHas it recently been exposed to water or any other liquids, perhaps in the rain or a pub. If so, you will have to consider it likely to be dead. Take it to your nearest Apple store for check out.
