My laptop screen when black now it will not turn on or off. And is there a way to see everything that has been done to my laptop at a apple store?
My laptop has been in the apple store to be fixed more times in the past 2 years then you could imagine. They just replaced a defective wire in it, and hardrive not even a month ago and now the screen just went black and wont turn back on. Also is there a way to see everything that has been done to this laptop through the apple store?
If I were you I would call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775. Tell them exactly what you stated in your post in a polite way. See what they can do for you.

Yes. And also on Apple's repair history website.

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!! Is there any way around this?
Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?
Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Last weekend I went to the Apple store to replace my phone because the WiFi on my phone is nonfunctional. I need to back up to iCloud before I can replace my phone because I have information on there that needs to be saved. The worker at the Apple store said that, since I cannot connect to WiFi, I needed to plug my phone into my computer in order to back up. I went into iTunes and turned iCloud on, but my phone still will not back up to iCloud. So, I need to know exactly how to back up my iPhone to iCloud without WiFi?

should I restore from an old icloud back up from last month and see if my wifi comes on then?
Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option. -
I have an IPhone 5. The screen flashes bright blue, then B & W snow, then makes a short hissing sound and shuts off. It did it 3-4 times and now it will not turn on. Should I try to have it serviced or replace it?
Get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider. If you can't, contact Apple Support to get it serviced.

My iphone will not turn on.... it froze earlier today and now it will not turn on all i get is a black screen with the apple symbol every once in awhile... also it will not connect to my computer so i can reset it to factory settings
Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

I cancelled my iOS6 update in the middle of updating. now it will not turn on it will either remain black or white on the screen. What do i Do? PLEASE HELP!!
Connect it to iTunes and then put the device in DFU mode by holding the power button and home button for 10 seconds, then release the power button only while still holing the home button.
iTunes will prompt you to restore, try that and it should work.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.
Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.
iDevices can only be synched with one library. However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other. When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine. Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes. When you see this prompt:
select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops. -

Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
It sometimes has the apple on the screen, or says it needs to be charged, or is all white, black, or yellow. I have tried charging it, leaving it alone for a while and turning it off and back on. Nothing has worked. What should I try to do??? Help please!!!Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Other uses have had same problem. -
I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!
What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on. -
I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -
I went to upgrade my software on my phone from 5.01 to the lastest version. now all my phone will do is blink the apple logo. it will not turn on or off. What can I do? Even when I plug it into the computer, the computer doesn't see the phone.
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
