My iPhone 4 will not let me play my music I bought on iTunes or pandora or YouTube with out my headphones or speakers plugged in. I can play my ringtone without them plugged in but that's all. Also my iPhone will not turn off. Please help

I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

My ipod will not turn off please help???

Everything works on my ipod, but it will not turn off. It will play and pause but not turn off.

I too have had this problem. In fact it seems to be a fairly common problem, suggesting that it is an unaddressed bug.
Here's what you can try:
1. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds. After your iPod reboots, see if it will turn off. If not:
2. Restore your iPod using iPod Updater, which you can download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ . Restoring your iPod will delete all songs, pictures etc and reload the iPod's operating system. If that doesn't fix it, you can:
3. Try a work-around. Can you turn it off using the Sleep menu option? If you don't see that in the main iPod menu, go to Settings/Main Menu and turn on the Sleep menu option. This didn't work for me, but others have een able to turn their Nanos off this way.
If none of these things work, your only option is to have Apple replace you iPod. You can do this by contacting Apple support, or by going to the Genius Bar at an Apple retail store.
Several people (including me) have seen the not-turning-off problem in conjunction with the Nano frequently showing a message saying that firewire connections are not supported. In my case my Nano became unusable because the firewire message would pop up so often that I couldn't navigate through the menus to get it to play anything. I took my Nano to an Apple store and the Genius Bar guy replaced it on the spot. Unfortunately the replacement also doesn't work (headphone jack doesn't work so I can't hear any music) so I will have to go back again, but don't let my run of bad luck prevent you from getting a replacement.

Sorry if I sound stupid but how do I contact the developer? Where would I find that information?

hi there im trying to download the quick time 7 as i bought the pro version, but that doesn seem to be dowloading, i got a pc.please help

Dont install Quicktime from the OS install discs.
Download the most up to date Quicktime Player 7 from here: Download QT 7
You dont need QT Pro to play any video files that Player can run. QT Pro is used to edit and export files in different CODECS. However, it wont harm the installation if you upgrade to pro by entering the registration code.

My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

MY Ipod touch frequently turns on and off please help!!!

Try connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and restoring the iPod.
If you can't restore, see if resetting the iPod will allow a restore:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My iPhone 5 will not turn on (please help)

Ibook will not turn on, please help. ASAP

I have an i book laptop but i am not sure what model it is. I just know that it is about 4 to 5 years old. I used to have some one that could fix it for me and tell me what is wrong. But i do not have them any more. My computer will not turn on. Even when i plug the power block into it. I have looked at the mac support things. but none of them have helped me. if some one out there could help me i would be sooooooo great full. Please some one try to help me solve this problem. i have tried the (PMU) restet, when you press shift, ctrl, option simultaneously. Then you are supposed to wait 5 seconds then turn it on. that did not work. For many months now i have been struggling with this problem. i really need some help, because the mac support on this website has not been helping me. So maybe by creating this account, and writing this letter. Some one will come to help me.
By the way i cant even find out what OS it is because i cant turn it on to find its information

Thanks - but I can't see anything, the screen is dead (which is why I put the disk in - I was following the troubleshooting instructions), all I hear is the fan, but there's no screen prompt. I've tried resetting the PMU and the PRAM without success -- I've been having this problem on and off for a few weeks but it usually started ok the second or third time. Now, however, it's not working at all.
Hi,
You may be able to eject the CD by starting in open
firmware.
Hold down the command-option-o-f keys as you start.
When you see some text on the screen release them. At
the prompt type "eject cd" (without the quotes) and
press return. It should eject after a few seconds.
Next try resetting the NVRAM. At the prompt type:
reset-nvram <return>
set-defaults <return>
reset-all <return>
It should restart after the third command is
entered.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Will NOT turn on PLEASE HELP

My phone went black today and will not turn back on.. I have taken out the battery and the sim card, when i put them back in the red light at the top just flashes and nothing comes on the screen. I have tried to boot it by charging it and hooking it up to the computer. The BlackBerry desktop manager says it can not connect to the phone. PLEASE HELP

I have had the same problem 3 times over the past 2 years. The first time, Telus replaced the phone immediately as I was told it was a factory defect. The second time happened within the warranty period and TELUS decided to send it to BlackBerry to get it repaired. Phone came back,4 weeks later and worked properly but within a month same issue, does not boot up. Third time and three weeks later a new Torch came back from BlackBerry w on what was wrong with that phone. Now I am staring at the same problem on the THIRD TORCH I HAVE HAD IN TWO YEARS!!! What kind of defective product is BlackBerry shoving down our throats. As consumers we should expect what we purchase to work and not have to waste 4 hours reloading this and uploading that. Frankly I don't want to find the time to upload a bootfile that is missing, WHY IS IT MISSINg? Why is there a problem in the first place with the phone. If there is a defect, own up to it and recall them. I have had BlackBerries for the last 10years, this one is going into Lake Ontario and I am buying a an ANDROID. Its funny how even the sales people at the corporate TELUS Store and the tech support atff on the phones told me to just chuck it and never buy another BlackBerry again because they are also sick and tired of letting their customers down.
Is this a 9800 you're talking about? Reading your post, this is actually the 4th time that you've had this happen, with 3 different phones, correct?
When you talk about "reloading this and uploading that", are you talking about reloading the OS, or applications? I'm wondering if there's a particular application you're loading that's causing it.
While I'm sure there are faulty 9800s out there, and I've had a few myself (among 80 users), I find it hard to believe that you could end up with three faulty ones in a row. Are you able to get the battery charged somewhere, just to be sure it's not just a dead flat battery? It might be that you've got an application that's flattening your battery to the point where the phone can't start, even on the charger.

My ipod will not turn on, please help.

My problem is different than the other ones posted on the forums, I have a 60gig ipod. Once it turns off I can't get it to turn back on unless I reset the system by pressing the menu and center button. Is there a way without restoring the original settings? It works fine once its on, but it is really frustrating to have to reset the ipod every time I want to use it. And I don't want to create more problems by constantly restarting it, that can't be too good for the ipod. It still syncs fine with the computer and everything. And it has a charge. If I reset the ipod, it will play fine. It's just after I use it, I turn it off, and next time I want to play it, I would have to reset it.

Hi Patrick,
You sound like you know something about a thing or two...Would you know anything about myself and other people 's problems about
the Apple logo flashing on and off with a low whining down sound and then restarting again,and this goes on and on,I guess untill the battery dies.
I have a 5th Generation 80GB Classic ipod.
I went to turn on the ipod and nothing happened. I tried the reset method by sliding the hold switch ON, then OFF, and pressed both the top area of the MENU button and the middle of the SELECT button, at the same time, but with two different fingers.
All I’m getting now is the black screen with the Apple logo appearing for about six seconds, then off for about 6-8 seconds, and ON, over and over again and so far it has been doing this for about fifteen minutes now.
I called APPLE, and they told me to install iTunes, and plug in the ipod, and hit the RESTORE Option, but for some reason, the newly downloaded QUICKTIME and new itunes I just downloaded from Apple does not open up the itunes when I double –click on it either from the desktop, or the Start>Programs>itunes folder.
The reason for all this was that I was clearing off one computer’s hard drive to another new computer before I wipe the Hard drive. I deleted all my mp3’s and the itunes program from the old computer and put the mp3 music files onto the new hard drive. I downloaded the new Quick time and itunes programs separately to my desktop.
I was told from Apple that my ipod warranty has expired by about 85 days.
I have run all the Apple updates and it tells me I am up to date. Thanks for any help.

3 beeps after ram upgrade, computer will not turn on, please help! I have tried everything.

I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inches, i recently upgraded the RAM from Crucial 8gb (4gbx2) to Crucial 16gb (8gbx2). I have done thies before, was er careful, and had antistatic clip, clean work surface, etc. When trying to turn the computer on again, i hear 3 slow beeps, repeated three different times, and the computer does not turn on. I have been looking around for solutions.
I have already swapped the memory modules, cleaned them, dusted the whole computer with air can, put the old ram in and still have the 3 beep problem. It no longer works even with the old ram. The computer was working perfectly fine before this.
Am i missin a step? I saw in a video on youtube that i have to reset the RAM with Alt+P+R+Power button, but nothing happens.
Please help, i am self employed and my Mac Book Pro is the computer i work with!
I have Lion operating system, everything updated very recently. Stock 512 gb hard drive.

Thanks for the quick reply Allan, i have reseated the ram 4 times, swapping top and bottom Ram modules, and pushing them in firmly and pressing down evenly with both hands.
I tried to put the old ram in as well in case the New RAM was bad, and that did not work anymore either. I am from Mexico and live in Mexico City, and it is not easy to send the RAM back and get an exchange. I will go to a MAC repair center on monday, but think i am missing some simple step somewhere. As i said this is my work computer and i really need it!
I have reread what i wrote before, to clarify my computer was working fine with the old 8 gigs of ram, i just wanted it to be faster, and bought 16 gb since they are now much cheaper than a few years ago.

LED in iphone 4 is not turning off. HELP!! :(((

I drop my phone more or less 3 times and my LED light is now malfunctioning, it can't be turned off, i have not downloaded any flashlight applications, one of the Apple expert told me to restore my iPhone, but it still goes the same thing. I wanna know if there's an alternative way to turn off my LED light. My phone hasn't been jailbroken and it is already out of warranty. Thank you!
Please do help me! Thank you very muuuuch!!

Consider the possibility that you have broken the phone by dropping it "more or less 3 times". You can get an out of warranty replacement for a (reasonable) fraction of the retail price from Apple.

MacBook Pro not turning on, please help!!

I have no clue what is wrong with it. I shut the screen so I could move the computer to my room, then bam. Nothing. It's like it's dead. I didn't do anything to update it or add anything to it. It is a MacBook Pro 15in from 2011. The battery buttons on the side don't do anything. When I plug the adaptor in it doesn't do anything. I tried to do the command option control and power button, nothing. I tried the power button plus shift whatever p and r, nothing happened. My life is on the computer, I need it to work. Please help!!
