My iPod 5th gen was working fine and now it won't turn on.

This morning I was listening to music on it and everything, it was working absolutely fine and went to take a shower, so I locked it. When I came back, it would not respond at all. Like it is on the off screen, with nothing on it. I bought it off a friend and the home button is stuck, so I can't put it in recovery mode, and I was going to download a client to do it on a computer, but my personal laptop does not recognize it (it doesn't even come up on the computer usb port thing and it doesn't charge when I plug it into the wall). I just recently purchased the charger (literally in the last week) so I do not believe it is the charger because it was charging fine all night. Also it was at full charge when I went to shower so I honestly have no idea what to do. I looked up solutions but I am unable to do anything when my computer can't even recognize it. Somebody please help me, or at least tell me I'm screwed so I can stop worrying about it This iPod is important to me and I have a lot of valuable data on it so I will be very dissapointed if I cannot continue to use it.

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 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.

IMovie 6 was working fine and now it won't import.

I have started importing my vhs home movies and everything was almost fine and now it won't import at all. imovie stops at times. Sometimes when a tape was being imported I wouldn't get audio even with moving the volume bar but the audio was there with playback in imovie. I import a few clips, edit the starts and stops and share them with Quicktime. After I have them saved in Quicktime I copy them to an external hard drive and trash the originals. At times I can save them on the external without first saving them on the main hard drive and sometimes I can rename the clips. All of the problems mentioned above are just annoying ones but now.... I open imovie and select a new project, the imovie screen is light blue and it says that the camera is connected. In just a few seconds the screen turns a darker blue which then changes to the video I want to import with out the audio. When I click on "import" nothing happens.. no clip starts or anything. How do I get imovie working again?

I did what you said to do.. remove preference and repair permissions.. and imovie is still doing the same thing. I also deleted a preference named com.apple.IMovie.plist.saved. When I started having the import problem earlier I had checked the disk and repaired the permissions.
After I did what you said and IMovie was still not working I shut down the computer and took out the battery hoping that would work, but that didn't work either. Do you think it will work if somehow I uninstall IMovie and all things connected to it and reinstalled from the install dvd that came with the computer?
Thanks for your help.

The hotness indicates a possible hardware problem. If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

Is it charged? If not charge it with the supplied charger.
If charged, have you tried resetting your iPad?

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's probably user error.

I got a brand new ipod touch 5th. i backed it up and now it won't turn on. Why? what's going on?

I bought a 5th generation iPod touch. everything was working fine. until I tried to back up my music from iTunes. it said it would restart after "backing up" and it didn't. this is the second iPod this has happened to. I left the last one on the charger and plugged in for a whole night and half a day. and it still wouldn't turn on. So I returned it thinking there was something wrong with it internally since I got it at Wal-Mart . now it's happening again and this time I just went to the apple store to since it was the most reliable place to get an iPod but it's still happening . how long am I suppose to wait? or am I doing something wrong? All the iPod information is showing up on iTunes. and it's all up to date.
what's going on?

My IPhone 4 was working fine, and now it's not

My IPhone 4 was working fine, an hour later I looked at it again and it was turned off and it wouldn't start again. I tried plugging it into different wall outlets and I have it plugged in to the computer I synced it to, it still won't turn on. does any one have any suggestions?

If justinav's reply does not work:
Plug your iPhone into the wall charger (not a computer), and hold down the sleep/wake button ('power button' on top) and the home button for 20-30 seconds. I find this helped when it happened to my phone once. Plugging it into the wall charger appeared to give it the juice I needed to get up and running again...

I have an HP 3050A wireless printer that was working fine and now all of a sudden it doesn't print.

My HP 3050A wireless printer has stopped printing. I have restarted both my computer and the printer and it still didn't work. I deleted the printer from my printer list and then restarted everything again and now it doesn't even find the printer. What am I doing wrong? My computer is a new Mac. Thanks for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Can you see the wireless light on the printer as Solid blue or is the lighe blinking?
If the light blinks, it means that the printer has disconnected from the network.
In order to reconfigure it - temporary connect the printer with USB, launch the HP Setup Assistsant (Located under Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Device Utilities) and follow the steps to reconfigure the wireless connection.

Audigy 2 ZS Gamer was working fine, and now it sounds really distort

Yesterday I was playing Doom3 and wow does it ever sound nice I had the EAX 4 enabled since it's been available for Doom3. Now today I'm not sure wtf is going on, listening to anything with my headphones which I always use by the way sounds like crap, muffled and garbled all the sounds are very wrong, like I'm tuning into an AM station but not exactly tuned right on. I did a clean uninstall of the Creative drivers and a new install and it still sounds like crap, nothing in my computer has changed, I'm fully updated with all the drivers, could it be dust or is my card dieing?? Please help.

You will need to reply to this post with more details in a fashion that people can see what troubleshooting you have performed so far.
Also please make a note of the way you have it setup in the mixer etc, do you have a volume control on the headphones? Are you volume levels way to high through the properties area? Does it sound the same through the speakers as it does the headphones?
