My iPhone 4 randomly shut off and won't turn back on.

I got a text message, so I tried swiping the screen to enter my passcode and my iPhone randomly went black. The Apple logo did not appear and the battery was not low at all. My lock button is broken, so I tried hitting the Home button and nothing happened. I plugged it into the charger and nothing happened. I tried my sound dock with similar results. I plugged it into my laptop, and my laptop recognizes it, but my phone stays dark. I've tried holding down the Home button and have tried several times unplugging my phone and trying it in the charger and my laptop. Someone please help me!!

My iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

my iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

I'm experiencing the same issue. It's one thing to have to re-power up but to not be able to do so without plugging in the charger when the battery is substantially full, is a real drag.

Macbook air randomly shuts off and won't turn back on

I have a 2011 Macbook Air that was given to me by my sister. She told me about a year ago she spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while. She took it to apple and they told her it was going to cost 700 dollars to replace so she decided not to. After a while the laptop randomly turned back on and started working fine. I ended up getting it as a free gift and it was working perfectly fine for about a month and a half until recently it randomly shut off on me. After it shuts off, it wouldn't turn back on through pressing the power button I left it alone and after a day it randomly turned back on and worked like normal. After about 15 minutes of use it randomly shuts down and won't turn back on. I tried resetting SMC to no avail. It randomly turns on for about 15 minutes before it feels like it gets slightly hot and shuts off. Any help will be great!

If you find you can't, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free and then you should know what the problems are with your MBA.

Iphone 5 randomly shut off and won't come back on

For the last few weeks my iphone 5 has been randomly shutting off. Usually when this happens I just hold down the power and home buttons and my phone reboots within a few seconds. However last night my phone shut off and will not turn back on no matter what I try. It doesn't respond at all when I plug it into the charger and the screen has been completely black the whole time. When I plug it into my computer Itunes starts up and a message pops up saying that Itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode and I must restore it before it can be used with Itunes. I tried to restore my phone earlier, but it got stuck on 'waiting for itunes' and my phone displayed the apple logo and status bar that would not load at all. My phone is now back to being completely black and unresponsive. PLEASE HELP this phone isn't even 6 months old. I am on vacation currently and really need to get my phone working as soon as possible. Thanks!

I followed the steps found here: Error 4005 fix for Windows 7
it actually brought my phone to life .. sort of .. I now actually see an Apple logo on the iPhone screen (before this it was just a black screen at all times, no matter what) and it has a progress bar under it. Only thing is nothing happens after this. It's just stationary.
My iTunes just says Waiting for iPhone while my iPhone is just stuck with an Apple logo and a loading bar below that doesn't progress.
Edit: After doing some Googling it seems like I have the exact same issue as this person https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6431899

Iphone randomly shut off and won't turn back on!

My power button has been stuck recently (not a major issue) and my Iphone 4S randomly shut off without any damage or moisture and over half battery life. Plugging it in to the computer or wall doesn't turn it back on.
I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

This is very bad. It is very difficult to deal with problems without power button function. If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean iPhone charging port very well with toothbrush and Isopropyl Alcohol. If still nothing, next would be battery replacement. If still nothing, replacement of the charging port with flex cable and lower mic. And on and on. If you want Apple to handle this, they offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S for $199.

Iphone 6 randomly shut off and will not turn back on - help!

I bought my IPhone 6 last fall from T-Mobile. My iPhone 6 was working just fine about an hour ago. Went to hit the home button to check the time and it would not turn on. It appears to have randomly shut off and now it will not turn back on. Tried holding the power button - nothing... same with the home button. Assuming I need to take it in for service, but I'm not sure if there is some easy fix for this.

IMac starts running slow, randomly shuts off, and won't turn back on!

Last night, I was watching some YouTube videos about Swift programming and playing around on Xcode when my iMac (specs below) started to freeze between switching apps, creating files, and running my Xcode project. I tried cleaning it up using both CCleaner and OnyX. Neither of them helped. Today, I was about to run OnyX to see if it could do anything more and my iMac just shuts off. I change the outlet, still doesn't work. Go to another room and try that outlet, still doesn't work. It just sits there when I press the power button and does nothing. No sound, no startup, or anything.
• I verified my hard-drive with Disk Utility before it shut off and it said it was OK.
• I repaired permissions
• I used OnyX's verification tool to verify the hard-drive a couple different ways, every way came back clear.
iMac Specs
Software OS X 10.10.3
21.5-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
1 TB SATA Disk
Also there was a storm while we were gone a couple days ago, maybe a surge or something? I'm not an expert so I wouldn't know. My brother's iMac (the one I'm posting this on) works fine though.

My iPhone 4 randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

My iPhone randomly shut down whenever I got a phone call twice in maybe 5 minutes. Now it wont turn on no matter how many times I plug it in or use the home and lock button. Is there anything I can do? After the first time it just turned back on but now it won't.

I just had this happen. Hold the lock and home button down for ten seconds.

Plug iPhone into Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on wall charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

It probably overheated and shut down. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears. This will take 10 to 15 seconds of holding both buttons.
