My iPhone 5 will not turn on. And when it does, it will only stay on for a short while and then it dies again.

Hi lammyrock,
I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.

I recently did the latest update. My Ipad 2 would not turn on, and then the screen with the apple logo started flashing. I tried the recovery restore, but I kept getting error messages. What should I do?

I recently did the latest update, and then I charged my Ipad 2 afterwards. I went to use my Ipad 2 days later, and it would not even turn on. Then after a couple minutes, the apple logo appeared as if it were loading. It continued to do this for a few minutes, and then the screen starting turning on and off. Then 5 minutes after that, my lock screen appeard and froze. Then it shut itself off again. I tried plugging my ipad into Itunes to do the recovery restore, but I kept getting error messages.

My iPod turns on and then straight off again, it doesn't even go to the lock screen. What do I do, PLEASE HELP ME

My iPod is stuck just going on and off. It doesn't stop with or without the charger . It doesn't go to the lock screen so what do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

I've tried for many months to install the new 4.0 and it goes through download but never changes to newest version, and now it says that 3.6 will only be available for a short time longer.

Every time I log on, Firefox states that I am using the older version, and that I need to update to the 4.0, though today I saw something that said 7.0 so wasn't sure what that was about. Anyway, my program states upon the install, "Save Program". So I do and then it still doesn't take effect. Now your site states that the 3.6 will soon be no longer available for updates etc, but you new version never loads or takes effect??? Help please. I love firefox and feel much safer using this than anything in the past! Thanks in advance. I am old, but a novice at computers. So, laymen terms appreciated. Yours truly, Norine Mungo

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have the original iPad. I have used the iBooks app extensively and have saved a number of books and PDF Docs. I try to open iBooks and it will only stay open for a matter of seconds.The latest changes indicate I need a IOS 5.0. How do I access my iBook

I am unable to access my iBooks library from my iPad through the iBooks App. Recent changes to the app says I require IOS 5.0 which I don't have because I have the original IOS that came with my iPad (the original released version) I have an extensive library that I cannot access. What do I do?

Why do you think you cannot upgrade to iOS 5? That should work fine. iOS 6 is not possible for iPad 1.

My i5 will only stay charged for 2 hours if I am lucky.Is this a normal problem?

I have an i5.Since the last update my phone charge only last about 2 hours.ATT and my authorized vender said to turn all my features off (blutooth gps data wifi hotspot cloud mail )and so on.If this is the case what would be the reason to have an iphone if I can't use any of the features??
Please help....

Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing. If battery is faulty that solves it.

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
