    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. If nothing, this means your iPhone has a hardware fault, most likely and hopefully battery.

  • When playing music from Ipod in my car, music suddenly stops and message appears to restore in iTunes.  After a few minutes, it starts to play again.  I hear a click and the apple logo shows on the screen.  Any ideas??

    You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing.  It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Your Mac can't find any bootable partition.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X DVD that came with the Mac and press C key while your Mac is starting.
    2. Select Utilities > Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair the disk. If it doesn't work, take the Mac to an Apple Store.
    Also, open  > Startup Disk, select Macintosh HD and restart. Maybe your Mac has forgotten the startup partition

  • Apple pro 27" turns off by itself and then u have to wait 15 to 20 mins and have to unplug and reboot

    applepro turns off by itself and then i have to wait anywhere from 15 to 30 mins to try to reboot and have to unplug

    You should really be asking this question in MacBook Pro: Notebooks: Apple Support Communities
    because this sounds like a overheating problem and we're the Mac Pro (desktop workstation) forum.

  • Help!!! My Macbook Pro suddenly turns off

    Towards the end of my work day, my Macbook Pro suddenly shut off. I thought I had accidently pressed the power button or something, and so I turned it back on. However, 10 minutes later it randomly shut off again. The power was at about 80%. I connected the laptop to charge, and I was able to use it perfectly with no problem. After about an hour, I unplugged it and it continued to turn off again.
    I am currenly running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I have included the power status, to see if this might be of any help.
    CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME?
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone suddenly turned off by itself and it won't turn back on, what to do?

    So I was just texting with my iPhone (with 35% battery life) earlier and when I check my phone again 5 mins later, it completely turned off. So, I tried holding the sleep/lock botton on top + the Home button (for more than 10 sec) and it won't turn on.
    So I tried plugging my iPhone to the wall-adapter charger and it turned on (with a 100% battery life?), but seems like all my settings have been resetted and I was advised to connect with iTunes. Then I unplugged my iPhone and plug it onto my computer to sync. I waited, the apple logo comes up and then it turns off again, logo comes up and turns off again (constantly doing that and it's not going anywhere).
    Did my whole iPhone battery just died or something? I repeated the process and whenever I unplug the phone from the wall-charger, my phone completely turns off. When I plug it with my usb-to-computer, the apple logo comes up and goes. Any one can help?

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly turned off when fully charged and won't restart. Charger not working either coincidently

    My 2 year old 13" MacbookPro suddenly turned off, presumably when the screen automatically dimmed (or went to sleep?) and now it won't turn back on. It was at 96% charge and now when I use the battery checker on the side, nothing shows up. No lights or anything. The charger doesn't seem to work either even after trying it on different outlets. This has never happened before but it has been harder to wake it from sleep in the last 6 months or so. I would have to push the On/Off button for a sec and the screen would turn back on. Also when I turn it on, the password screen is sometimes off-centered..weird.
    I'm using Yosemite, the latest version..not sure what it is and can't check right now...I had to go use a PC to ask this question >_<

    Try a SMC reset:

  • IPhone suddenly turn off by itself,won't come back on

    My iPhone suddenly turned off when i wanted to unlock it to check my messages(i'm really sure that it has 80%+ battery during that time),here's what i did to get it turn back on,but it still wont on:
    1) I plug it to my pc (but my pc says it's an unknown device and it also says that Windows has stopped the device because it has reported problems)
    2)i hold on to the home button and the standby button
    3) i charged it
    I tried all these steps above but it still wont come back on,please help me,i cant live without my phone!

    How long has it been off?  I have over-heated mine before a few times... (hot car, heating pad...) and it shuts down completely and will NOT come back on until it cools down.  I'm not saying this is your problem, but if it did over-heat it will come back on when it cools down. 

  • IPad turns "off" by itself every 2 minutes

    I just started using my Apple iPad 32GB WiFi yesterday. Whether I am connected to the Net or not-connected, whether I am doing-stuff on it or not-doing - it just turns itself off every 2 minutes. I have to restart it by pressing on the 'Home' button. The iPad is fully charged (84% - the battery percentage indicator says). Is this a hardware defect? Do I have to return it to Apple? It has the standard OS it comes with, I have not updated any OS. Also I synched it with iTunes (9, I think). Please help.

    same to me.
    Just opened the new iPad and while installing it started turn off and on by itself.
    I tried restoring from itunes and resetting from the ipad.
    Nothing.
    The next day I called support and they told me to reset.
    Did it again.
    It seemed to fix it and for 24 hours it did not turn off.
    This morning it started again: on and off every 2 minutes, 5 times in the row.
    I am resetting again right now.
    You are not alone

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Restart and your Mac should start up in normal mode, so you can use speakers again.
    If it doesn't work, reset the PRAM > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    If nothing works, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    sudo nvram -d boot-args
    Finally, restart your computer

    How to turn on the phone?

    Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
    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.
