    My iPod touch is frozen and it will not turn off or anything. What do I do?
    I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, PLEASE HELLP ME!!!!!
    I need help!!!

    If not successful, try the remainder of:
    - 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 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.

  • My iPhone is fully charged and just gives me a blank screen and will not turn off, what do I do?

    my iPhone is fully charged and just gives me a blank screen and will not turn off, what do I do?

    Reset the phone like the manual says:  hold the on/off switch and the home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.  May take up to 30 sec

  • My Ipad will not turn off what can I do ?

    My ipad will not turn off what can i do ?

    Try this.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Let it start up completely and then you can shut down if you want to do so.

  • HT201257 Fan on my MacBook Pro came on and will not turn off, what could be wrong or how do I fix?

    The fan on my MacBook Pro came on out of no where and will not turn off. The computer is not heated nor are any applications running in the background. The seems to be going on full blast. Before now it worked fine. Would turn on or off when need. Please advice what could be wrong or if ther is anything I can do to fix or troubleshoot. Computer is not even a year old.

    LexSchellings: Now I know why you wished me luck and hoped everything would clear up asap hehe. I've been doing some reading and it is quite possible that my MBP late 2011 is sadly part of the probably million of MBP's out there with logic board issues. I am glad I am under warranty (still have to wait and see what apple techs decide on my comp) and sad that my comp will probably be done with in a few years. Not even 4 as it turns out. I can honestly say my old iBook G4 was amazing gave me 8 great years. Never had an issue with it.
    Something funny is that about 10 to 15 mins ago the fan on my comp (the only indicator I got of any issue going on) quite down and the comp was working perfect. It has been running really slow since I noticed the fan being over worked even if nothing is running. Then it started up again and once again quite down, functioned well for like 10 seconds and started being noisy and slow again.
    However there is an issue that bugs me, if according to my AHT results it is a faulty logic board how come my comp is still functioning? Of course being slow and noisy. I've read on some sad stories on here
    Wish me more luck and send me lots of good vives. Going to need them. Especially if I end up not being able to fix the comp.
    Apple is letting me down and to think I just purchased an iPad mini for xmas :/

  • HT4531 My 6th generation nano appears to have locked up.  The screen is on, but nothing happens, and Ipod will not turn off. hear a buzzing noise in headphones.  what can I do?

    My 6th generation nano apears to have locked up.  The screen is on, but Ipod does nothing.  The Ipod will not turn off, and a buzzing noise is heard through the headphones.  What can I do??

    Hello houseman06
    Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

  • Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

    My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

    I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
    Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
    Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

  • HT2693 my iphone has froze up and it will not do anything, i am getting a blank black screen and it will not turn off completely or turn on.  i dk what to do.  any information would help greatly.

    My daughter was playing a game on my husbands phone and it froze on her.  The screen displayed the turnoff slide bar or cancel, he tried to hit cancel and it did nothing, so he slid the slide to turn off.  when he did that he proceeded to turn off, but never completely shut off, and now the phone will do nothing!  I have tried restoring and also hooking up to itunes.  i do not know what to do in this situation.  any help would be greatly appreciated.  i dont know if there is a way to take the back off to remove the battery.  if you could give me some information that would be great.  thank you

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the Power and Home buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    Was the battery replaced by Apple or an authorized repair facility?  If not, and any warranty existed, that warranty is now void.

  • My iphone 3gs is frozen and reset does not work.  What can I do?

    Apple logo won't go away.  I have tried a reset (holding both buttons and restarting the phone) several times.  I don't get the screen to connect to itunes.  Just keeps going to the apple logo and won't go past that. 

    Steve, have you tried just going through the unlock form here?
    http://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
    That's what the moderator in several older threads in Vodaphone's forum said was all that is necessary. Carriers often won't unlock for anyone but the original account holder, so if you don't have the details of the company's account, that might be the barrier in which case there will not be any way to get the iPad officially unlocked.
    Good luck.

  • Auto-save a) crashes AE and b) will not turn off via preferences

    I seem to be in an endless loop of AE starting, auto-saving, and crashing.
    I reported a bug earlier of AE crashing if auto-save begins during a Warp Track. I thought I could defeat this behavior by turning off auto-save in preferences, but, even with that (the save box is unchecked), auto save starts within a minute of opening a project, and freezes AE (staying at 0% Completed indefinitely).
    I've deleted AE preferences, verified that auto-save is off, and the problem continues.
    Any suggestions of how to defeat this would be very welcome. Thanks!

    Caught in the act. After restarting, fixing permissions, reverting to a early (pre-tracking) version of the project, and verifying that auto-save is still turned off, AE tried to auto-save during a track (this time the stabilize phase) and froze.
    One possible new detail - it only attempts to auto-save when the tracking footage window is in the foreground. Is it possible that AE auto-save settings do not affect the tracker when it is in the foreground? I worked several minutes without interruption in another comp before returning to see the track, and apparently triggering the auto-save somehow.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Updated my iPhone 4, fully charged and it will not turn on or do anything. HELP!

    It was fully charged, update took less than 5 minutes- it rebooted and then nothing.  DEAD!  Nothing!
    I have tried to reset it with holding down the home button and power keys....again nothing.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Try to hold the Home & Wake/Sleep button simultaneous until the device restarts itself.

  • I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

    You have an opt out option.
    THIS opt out option has a forever option.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
    I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
    I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
    When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
    I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
    I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
    Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

    thankyou. THANK you.
    thankyouthankyouthankyou!
    sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)
    THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

  • TS3992 my iPad is stuck on iCloud back up and when I click on OK nothing happens.  I tried to turn it off to hard boot it and it will not turn off.  Any suggestions?

    Hi
    My iPad2 is stuck on iCloud Backup.  When I click on OK, nothing happens.  I tried to hard boot it by turning it of and still nothing happens.  What can I do to fix this?

    Reset it by holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • My iphone 4 will not turn off... how can I fix this?

    I went to turn off my iphone 4 and it will not turn off... it is just stuck on the circle thing it does when shutting down????  What's wrong with it?

    Try holding down both the top and home buttons a the same time until it restarts- that probably would do it.
