- After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  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.
- If still problem connect the iPod to its computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes.

    - 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.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Try leaving it on the charger yet doing nothing with it for at least 2 hours. Then try to power it on.
    Good luck and let us know!

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

    My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on. If I do a reset with the power and home buttons will I for sure lose all data that hasn't been backed up on my computer in the last week?

    No.
    A reset is very similar to rebooting your computer.

  • I was using my ipad 2 and i got up to use the bathroom and 2 minutes later it was shut off and wont turn back on. what is wrong?

    I was using my ipad 2 and got up to use the bathroom and 2 minutes later tried to use it and it was shut off and wont turn back on. What is wrong?

    We really can't tell you what happened, but you can get your iPad up again, by rebooting:
    Hold the power and home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple logo appears, let go of both buttons and your iPad will come back to life. 

  • IPhone randomly shuts off and wont turn back on again.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 4. It randomly shuts off and wont turn on again until i plug in the charger. This happens at least once a day and is extremly annoying and i can´t really use it anymore. I´ve tried a reset but with no results. Please help me out, thanks

    Hello again,
    I know there been a while, but I just need to tell you this
    I tried a restore and it didn´t work out. The same problem just continued and i started using and old phone instead. A couple of days ago I read something about ios6, and I thought: Why not try it on my iPhone that I don´t use? I installed ios6 and since then the phone have worked perfectly, except for one single hangup but then it was just to restart it. Ios6 beta 2 is actully really stable. I mean, now at least it´s a fully functional phone.
