  • Upgraded from osx snow leopard to lion and still no iCloud

    Upgraded from osx snow leopard to lion and still no iCloud settings in System Preferences, why?

    I have the exact same issue, and no Profiles for me under System. My system was upgraded from 10.6 as soon as Lion came out and I've never had the icon.
    I have had iCloud set up by creating an account within Mail, Contacts & Calendars - but in this setup my Mobile Documents folder, my iCloud "Documents and Data", never synchronized with my other devices. That is why I began wondering why I don't have the iCon as I have seen other Macs that came with 10.7 installed factory.

        Hello hazelrose,
    What an unfortunate situation! I'm sorry to hear that your current phone has stopped working. Let's see if we can find an option for you. What make & model phone do you have? Do you happen to have the extended warranty or insurance on your device?
    Thank you,

  • I phone 4 turned off and wont turn back on

    phone turned off and wont turn back on any ideas?

  • IPHONE JUST TURNED OFF and wont restart?

    My Iphone just turned off and wont restart

    Assuming it's charged, try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), and release.  If that doesn't work you may have to put it in recovery mode and restore it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • Pc turned off and wont start up again.

    Help
    Ive ben using my pc for about a year with not to many problems.
    But I was using my computer yesterday and it just turned off and wont power up any more. I press the on button and nothing happens at all, no fans, not cd drive no nothing.
    My first thoughts are maybe its mobo or psu related. From looking at the back of my computer i can see that my LAN lights are powered (altough my router says its not, wich it usualy does when it is off) .
    And if i unplug my pc at the mains and plug it back in then my webcam (which is usb powered) makes it's 'i have power' noise and my ram (which has status lights) power up for a few seconds).
    My spec is:
    Msi 875p NEO FIS2R
    intel Pentium 4 3ghz
    1024 (2*512 mb) Crucial xms)
    enermax 550w psu
    thermal take xaser iii case
    160 maxtor Sata HDD
    Can any one help? cheers

    Ok, I've tested the switch, thats fine.
    Then i took mobo and psu out of case and tested it with just ram and cpu. This resulted in nothing, the fans would like rotate 2cm.
    I reset the bios/CMOS. but this didn't appera to do anything.
    I reseated the components that were in there (CPU and RAM) but this sisn't change anything.
    Then I removed everything so it was literally psu and motherboard. and just tested them on their own. Still would not power up. The fans would spin for about a second and then i could smell a bad smell, but i could not identify it.
    I guess this narrows it down the motherboard or psu now. What do you think? and ideas?

  • My ipod nano 3g suddenly turns off and wont turn back on .

    After a while my ipod turns off and wont turn back on the charge on the battery marks at least half of the power, it happends when im listening to music after a few minutes i connected it and turned back on instantly with the apple logo so i disconected it, and tried again and happened again.. im using another headphones .   is there any way to check battery life ?  How can i solve this?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  If nothing else, work through each of the 5 R's of troubleshooting for your iPod to rule out the possibility of any sort of software error/glitch or data corruption.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    Otherwise, you have a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to either take or send your iPod in for service/replacement either via Apple or a third party service.

  • My iPad was working perfectly fine and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. it had around 60% battery what do i do?

    i need some help. my iPad was working perfectly fine about 20mins ago and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. its was at about 60% when it stoped working so i have ruled out the fact that its dead. ive tryed turning it back on but it wont please help.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
    EDIT - sorry TeeKnows. I was too slow on the draw. My apologies.

    Hi Sian.riches,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on as expected. I also know your have done some great troubleshooting already. I would suggest reading over the attached article and trying the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure everything has been done.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    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.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • My iphone 4s was working fine then it just turned off and wont turn back on but my home button dosent work what do i do?

    my iphone 4s was working fine then it just turned off and wont turn back on but my home button dosent work what do i do?

    Apart from the battery being dead (make sure by plugging into a power source for 15 minutes), hold the sleep/wake button and home button together for 10 - 20 seconds or until the apple logo appears.

    My wife's iphone4 turned off spontaneously after she sent a message and it had 95% battery. Nothing we did turned the phone back on. After searching the net and looking at this forum I held the sleep/wake button and the home button together and it turned on... Amazing. Thanks to all those who have posted. Is this a recurrent issue though? Would definitely like to know if this is a handset- and/or OS-specific problem?

  • Iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on.Please HELP!!

    iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on. It's battery was at 98-100% and was plugged into my computer via charging cable and was charging fine. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple different times while trying to turn it on and it wont even show a charging sign. It's blacked out I can't do anything. Please help!!

    There is nothing that anyone can do to cause the problem you have except to get the phone wet. If that happened then the phone probably needs to be replaced.
    It will not show anything when you connect to the charger, but still leave it connected for 15 minutes, then hold both buttons.

  • My ipod has just turned off and wont come back on

    my ipod has just turned off and wont come back on but i know it had a good amount of battery left and if i plug it into my computer or docking station nothing happens please help...

    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 another cable                     
    - 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.
