My iPhone 4 won't stay on even when plugged in

my phone was getting really hot yesterday and charging very slowly, when unplugged the battery was draining fast.
I shut down all my apps and charged it completely, 2 hours later the battery was draining.
This morning it was dead, plugged it in the wall and on my laptop, all I get is the apple logo comes on for a few seconds and then off again.
It's been going on for few hours.

how long have you had your iphone? if it's within it's 1 year warranty you can buy applecare protection plan for $69 which adds 1 extra year of coverage ontop of the 1 year which comes with a free battery replacement. That's definitely the best route to save $10 on the battery replacement plus extra coverage. if you're interested.

IPhone won't send iMessage (even when signed on Wi-FI or 3G)

My iPhone won't send iMessages even when I try to connect through Wi-Fi or 3G. At first I thought it was my Wi-Fi but it wasn't since I can connect to programs such as Safari and Instagram. I have also reset my network settings. Can someone help me or have any idea how I can fix this?
Thank you!

Phone is not jailbroken.
Got it re: passcode lock.
If I do a system restore, but I restore as a new phone, will my crucial phone functionality remain intact (phone number, ability to make calls, etc.)? And when it's restored, do I then just do a sync to have all my data brought back into the device?
Sync settings for calendar and contacts are enabled properly, and are the same as they have been for years. I'm not sure it's the calendar or contact data that is corrupted (although anything is possible) because the sync problems started happening exactly when the iMessage problems started happening.
Please advise on the system restore (not from backup) and I will post my results. Just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything irreparable.
Thanks...DG

My macbook pro will not hold life even though plugged in - I know battery life is about gone; does that mean it won't stay alive even though plugged in?

My macbook pro will not hold life even though it is plugged in when I use it. I know the battery life is about gone, but didn't realize this effects it when plugged in or does it. It is about 7 years old. This is second battery. Am I right to think this?

You are right - a dead battery can some times play these kinds of tricks.
If this is a removable battery, I suggest you take out the battery and try running it on the power adpater alone.

My iphone won't stay on, even with the battery at 100%.

My iphone 3gs keeps dying. It won't synch or be recognised by the computer. I spent the whole day yesterday trying and eventually it did restore and stayed on for a few hours but has died again, despite the battery being at 98%. I tried holding down the buttons but that does nothing. I got a new one 18 months ago after my first one broke down, so think my Applecare is done. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. TY

Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

MacBook won't power on, even when plugged in

Not sure what's going on. My white MB is my secondary computer, I've only had it for a few months. I brought it on a trip a couple of weeks ago and it was fine. It's been packed up in its case since I've been home, so I'm sure the battery is probably dead. I took it out today, and plugged it in, but it won't power up. Even if the battery is dead, shouldn't it turn on when it's plugged in?
I get nothing...no sound, no flicker, no nothing. Help? I have an Apple store close by, so that's not a problem...just want to make sure I'm not missing something dumb before I head over there.

The Apple store called this morning and confirmed it was the logic board that went bad, and that it was fixed and ready to be picked up. I stopped by to get it after work and I'm back up and running again...and I couldn't be more pleased with how Apple handled the whole process. Less than 24 hours from the time I dropped it off to the time it was fixed and ready for pickup.
Kudos to the San Tan Village Apple Store in Gilbert, AZ!!

MY iPhone will not turn on even when plugged in.

My 3gs was working. I plugged into my Mac to charge. Came back and the phone is unresponsive. Tried turning on using one and both buttons, NOTHING. When it is plugged in still nothing. Tried letting it charge and back of iPhone (probably battery) is very hot.

You can't, unless you're technically expert and have all the necessary test equipment and tools, and don't mind voiding any existing warranty. Otherwise, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your area.
Before going that route, try charging it with the AC adaptor for at least 1 hour. If it gets hot again, stop ASAP.

Macbook Pro 13" won't turn on even when plugged in and battery in "good health".

It started the day before yesterday: My husband called to tell me that the Macbook wasn't turning on. So I told him to hook it up to the charger and plug it in; according to him, the charger light was on but the laptop still wouldn't power on. Then I told him to hold down the power butten for a couple of seconds (about 5 or more) then release it; again, it still wouldn't power on.
When I arrived home, I took it to a friend and had him take a look at it. (There are no Apple stores on Guam and I bought my laptop from a military base in the States, so I couldn't just "take it to the store".) He opened it up, disconnected and reconnected the battery, resecured the back panel, and plugged it back in. The Macbook powered on. At that time, he suggested downloading the Battery Health App and following the instructions to calibrate my battery gauge - which I did. By the time I finished calibrating the battery, the stats indidcated that my Battery Healthy was still pretty good (92.something %). Afterward I did poked around a few forums (including Apple) and found a few threads suggesting to reset the SMC; so I did (using the instructions for the Macbooks with the built-in batteries: Shut down laptop, plug in the charger and hook it up to a powersource, press option+control+shift+power button at the same time then release, and the press the power button). After all that trouble, the laptop still remains down.
After being misled by the Battery Health App, I'm wondering if it's just a case of "dead battery".

The MBP should work with the power adapter connected.
Put your serial number of your MBP in the entry field in this web site:
http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
This will provide you with the exact model MBP information. The OS that you show (which may be incorrect) indicates that it is Tiger. If that is the case, the SMC that you performed was using the wrong directions. This way we may be able to clarify this situation.

My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

Short answer is you probably cannot. Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant.

My iPhone got wet in the rain. Everything works fine. But The flash stays on even when no battery. Any help?

A liquid damaged iPhone 4 can be replaced by Apple for $149.
By the way... and electrical short can be dangerous, creating a fire or explosion hazard. You can see the short that's affecting the flash... It's the short you may not see that's affecting the battery and/or charging circuitry that's the problem.
Get it replaced.

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.

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre but they refused to repair it after confirming the problem with the device as it was out of warranty and asked me to get it replaced for INR 22500. I got it repaired outside but after that also if I switch it off in the same situation it again happens and I have to take it for repair it has happened 3 times after that. Is it a inherent problem in iPhone that it uses battery even when switched off and if in that case battery drain out then refuse to get charged because this is the scenario i have experienced every time?

Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one.
