  • HT1476 My iPod 5 64gb wont turn on, the screen is just black, it wont do nothing. what should i do?

    My ipod just stoped working,is there any way to fix it?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on the screen is balck i tried connecting it to my computer but it wont work.. Can anyone help me ?

    My ipod touch wont turn on, The screen is black and i tried to plug it inot my computer and it still wont turn on.. Can someone help me ?.

    After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My ipod 5 wont turn on the screen will dim and then it reboots but it keeps happening again

    my ipod 5 wont turn on the screen will dim and then it reboots but it keeps happening again

    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.

    Hope someone can help!!
    Thanks!

    Hi mfiphone98,
    If your iPhone is has a black screen, but you are hearing sounds and Siri, you may have inadvertantly activated an Accessibility feature known as Screen Curtains. You may find the following helpful (page 130):
    Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

  • Apple TV and my MacBook Pro. TV shows I bought from iTunes only play for 1:50 min on Apple TV. However, the same shows play full length from my iPad. What's the cause?

    The TV series that I purchased from iTunes and have on my MacBook Pro will play on Apple TV for a short 2 minutes and then everything ends. However, the same shows play full length on Apple TV if I use my iPan. Does anyone know the cause of this?

    Hi mdr1976,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
    You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.
    See these articles for more information about Home Sharing:

  • When I plug an HDMI cable into my Macbook Pro, it just turns itself off. Help?

    So I am trying to hook up my non-retina Macbook Pro to my HDTV to use it as a higher quality monitor, but one of two things always happens. When I try pluggingg in the HDMI, then turning on my Mac, it fails to detect the display. If I plug in the HDMI when the Mac is already on, my laptop will just turn itself off immediately. If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if i need to get something else, it would be greatly apreciated.

    I am wondering if you may have some debris in the output port where the plug is not allowed to be fully inserted.  If not, take to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
    Ciao.

  • Ipad will not turn on the screen is just black, using the hone and power buttom together does not fix it

    my ipad screen is blue, using the home and power buttons together do not fix it.

    If you can't reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing, connect it to your charger for at least 15 minutes then try resetting it again  If it won't reset make an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have it looked at.

    The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    To update to 4.2.1
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
      A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
    And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?
