My ipod shows a blue screen and then turns off and wont turn back on. What should I do?

I turned on my iPod touch today and it turned on as usual. I unlocked it and went to play a game. I got tired of the game after about 5 mins so I went to the home screen. I swiped to the previous screen and it showed a blue screen after about 3 seconds. I was sort of surprised as this hadn't ever happened before. It didn't turn itself off so I pressed and held the power and home buttons. It turned off after three seconds. I tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn back on. I remembered about what someone said about pressing and holding the power button and the home button. I did so and as expected it turned back on. I unlocked it and the same thing happened again. Blue screen! I turned it off and tried the same thing again. Yet this time when it got to the lock screen, I pressed and held the power button and slid to power off. I didn't want to try turning it on again so I asked this question. WHY DOES MY IPOD SHOW A BLUE SCREEN? (Over and over agin every time I turn it on?) Please help!

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.

in i photo double clcking on a photo it comes full screen briefly and then goes off and a
exclamation mark appears

iPhoto rebuild database: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
Sometimes it's a file problem that is automatically loaded when the program launches, like iPhoto for instance, you'll have to do a tedious process of elimination to find the culprit, like a corrupt picture in a huge iPhoto Library folder.
One can right click on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" to access the Originals folder containing one's original photos.

Just upgraded to latest iOS and my iPad does not come back up - the following appeared as the first thing after turning back on. It displays a line from the power/USB connector to an iTunes logo and then goes off and after some minutes comes back on. I cannot reset it or anything else. It is completely non-functional.

1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't solve it, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

My computer keeps showing a blue screen everytime i get online and says memory dumping error

what should i do when my cpu keeps turning off everytime i turn it on and go online. plus their will be a bunch of pop ups that just open up without my permision

Hello gsxbilly750:
         Welcome to HP's forum and malware / virus world oh what fun. First thing is to get your comperter in safe mode. Seeing it has start up issue already I dought if F-8 key will work. So we will do a fource shut down. Turn on your computer let it go to Windows screen then just disconect the power cord from power supply box. Whait until your computer is completely shut down. Now reconnect the power cord and turn on your computer. Use your arrow keys and select safe mode with net working. If this just started happening yesterday then open up Recovery Manager and Select Microsoft System Restore. Click yes in white box click next eventually you will get to a date list choose a date before this happened click next. Let it complete system restore. This is will fix your issue some times. Depends on how much damage was done by malware or virus. If to much damage was done then you need to do a complete system restore. With blue screen of deaf you might have to. Follow the same steps above but select System Factory Restore.
          If you prefer to try cleaning your computer with out doing systems restore. You first need to download Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/malware_lp/?utm_source=adcenter&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=malwarebytes%... Ounce downloaded the trial verson. Type in services in All program search box and open services. Look for your Anti Virus software in list you need to change it from start to stop. Do not close out service window leave it opened. Now open up Malwarebytes and run the scan. Ounce scan is done click fix or delete effections. Then ounce that has been completed you need to uninstall Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes is unistalled. Go to Services window and find your Anti virus software and change it back to start. Close out services window now. Open your Internet Explorer Browser goto tools select Internet Options . Click on Advance tab. Click reset. Close out Internet Explorer and reopen it goto tools again select Internet Options now check mark box delete on exit . Click on Advance tab go down the list and check mark box under securty section Epmty Temporary Files when browser is closed.   click ok. Then click on tool and select Managed Add ons then enable your tool bars ones that you realy need. This now has fixed your Internet Explorer issue. Ounce you fixed these issues reboot your computer.
          If you are still having troubles with bl7e screen Let us know. Thank you frrw.

What should I do?,,,what do I need to do?,,,I can't continue searching...it always turns again and again...anyone pls...

That happens because an error occurred in the App and it crashed.
Try closing all open apps on your iPad (double click the Home button and swipe up on the App screen to remove).
Then reset your iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I just bought Apple Tv. Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv). When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

I just purchased Apple Tv 2. Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing. When i attempt to play itunes through my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits. Same goes for when I put my photos on.

I have tried to upgrade from ios 4.3.5 to ios 5 through itunes after dowloading the last version of itunes.
The process of backng up my date took hours (I kept it running all the night!) and when finishing syncing and backing up , I got the message option of " restore or cancel". I enter "cancel" and of course, I am still with the old version. What should I do?
Thank you

HT1688 my phone was fully charged and suddenly shut off but wont turn back on

my phone was fully charged and suddenly shut down and wont turn back on

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off issues found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

HT201263 3gs vibrated then turned off now wont turn back on

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

My iphone 5 cant switch on after updating it. it only shows the logo on and then goes off and so

My phone can not switch on

Your data is already lost. You must restore your phone in order to be able to use it. This is why Apple offers you two ways to back up, including iCloud, which backs up automatically over wireless every night if you're plugged in to power and the screen is locked. How much easier could it be? Yet you say you haven't backed up in months. If your phone was lost or stolen, or you dropped it in a puddle, you would be in the same boat. PEOPLE: BACK UP YOUR STUFF!!!!
