My Mac will not turn on after being on vacation:(
we have been on vacation and now our Mac will not turn on? The power is good that if is plugged into. Will not power on at all:(
I would go straight to 5. Reset the SMC. If all else fails, bring it in, the PRAM battery may need to be replaced.

IPod will not turn off after being used as an external HD in Windows
I have disabled the option to have Itunes open when I connect my Ipod and I turned off the iTunesHelper in msconfig. This allows me to use my Ipod as an external HD without interference by iTunes. I have found that since upgrading to Ipod firmware 1.1.1, after I disconnect my Ipod using the Safely Remove hardware option in Windows XP SP2 my iPod will not turn off. I just turn on the lock, and let sleep mode set in after 2 minutes.
This only occurs if I connect the iPod as an external HD and does not occur when I connect the iPod with iTunes open to sync my music library. The problem started with firmware 1.1.1. Is anyone also having this issue, and if so, is there a known solution?If you are not past the 2 weeks return period you can just return it.. for sure the TC is not ideal when you want something to store files.. the fundamental issue is lack of backup. The TC cannot back itself up. Nor can Time Machine in the computer backup network drives.
To mount the TC disk in finder.
Use Go, Connect to server. in the top menu.
Type in AFP://TCname.local or TCIPaddress. (where TCname.local is the correct network name of the TC.. ie not its name as typed in, if it includes spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe. You need to find the actual network name from network utility netstat scan or better still use proper naming on the TC.
Local is the default domain and helps.
If the TC is in router mode the IP is static and is better used than the name.
AFP://10.0.1.1 for example with default IP is far superior way to identify a network resource.
The disk password will be requested. Add it to your keychain.
It is better to load files to a DMG or sparsebundle.. See Pondini for info.

Z10 will not turn on- after being put to sleep with full battery
I turned my Z10 off last night to save the battery. It was freshly charged. I woke up this morning and tried to turn it on. Nothing happens, not even a light comes on. The thing is a brick. It won't respond to being plugged in. I got it brand new, I've had it for six months, and I only ever use the charger that came with it. I'm afraid it's completely toast. Unless this gets fixed I'll never buy another Blackberry anything, but it's doubtful they'll be in business long enough to make that call.
Any SOLUTIONS are welcome. Being without a phone is not tenable and a BUSINESS such as Blackberry who alleges to SERVE BUSINESS with their products should know this. I am seriously disappointed.Turned on after holding all three buttons for half a minute. But I'm not convinced this is the end of its troubles. Definitely getting a Samsung after this- I've never had a problem with any of THEIR electronics, and they're not going anywhere. The big worry for me is I'll need to send my Z10 in and they'll no longer exist to fix it.

4th Generation iPad will not turn on after being restored
I just restored my mother's new 4th generation ipad with all of her data from her gen 1 iPad. Once it was done downloading all of her app's, the 4th Generation iPad shut down.
I tried to reset it by using the sleep button and home button and it never turned back on.
I've connected it to my Mac and cannot get any response from the iPad.
Any suggestions?Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -

My iPhone will not turn on after a yet another blue screen of death. Please help!
As mentioned above, my phone will not turn on after a yet another blue screen of death. All of a sudden it turned off, and it wouldn't turn on for quite some time, even after I plugged it in the charger. It wasn't long after the screen turned on, but it only displayed a bright black. I decided to turn it on and off a few times. Nothing worked.
I have also tried to call the phone from another one. It was as if the phone was simply off.Hello ZarinaUrum,
The article linked below details a number of troubleshooting steps that can help restore functionality to your iPhone.

I suspect that the ones that say they will work with Windows 8 on the box. If it does not say that, check the maunfacturer's website. They eventually will have to give Windows 8 support for the new cards or loose out to the competitors cards.
