Last week my 5th generation ipod touch dropped face down onto the ground. When picked up the screen was black and did not turn back on. I tried to connect it to the laptop but it did not recognize the ipod. Also when it is plugged into the laptop the area by the camera gets warm like it is charging. But still has a black screen. I've tried to reset and count to 10, but nothing happends. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Or is it completely dead? Somebody, anybody 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.

MacBook Air has been overheating
It seems as if my 13" MacBook Air has been overheating since I downloaded Lion. It happens as soon as I open the cover and sometimes I can smell an electrical burning smell. If that happens, I immediately turn it off & let it cool down. It's gotten to the point where I can't use it for more than a few minutes.
Thanks everyone!Hi Everybody,
Thanks for your replies to start with.
I have tried to install Coolbook now and has it running. When using 'throttling' and letting it change CPU speeds (I think..) the problem still remains. When watching a video or other demanding task the temperature goes way up. Running a CPUTest (small or big) gets CPU temperatures of up to 84-85 C. Fan of course at 6200rpm all the time.
Right now, I have Coolbook set to 800Mhz and 0.9V. Apps running are Firefox, Skype, Mail and iTunes with no audio playing. CPU temperature at 56 c and fan speed (as usual) at 6200rpm. I can use the computer now. It is still lagging and not very fast at all. Sometimes text appear 1-2 seconds after I have written it on the keyboard.
So Coolbook has made a difference for me, but only when putting the CPU speed down to 800MHz. I wouldn't call reducing the CPU speed to half a 'solution' though and will not keep that as a long term solution. Reducing voltages for higher CPU-speeds 0.9875V for 1600MHz does not work, it still heats up massively.
Have used the MBA for the whole day today and can't recall a single time the fan has not been around 6200rpm except right after boot.
Thanks for the tips on upgrading to 10.5.8. I will try that right away and let you know how it works out.
Have also considered buying some cooling device but just as you say that feels like a bit of a last thing to resort to.
I'm surprised Apple hasn't responded stronger to this. Had this happened in the car industry we would have seen thousands of cars being sent back to the garage to be fixed.
If this only has to do with some specific production weeks then the right thing to do would be for Apple to let those people have their computers either fixed or replaced. -
My MacBook pro has been freezing up and giving me an error message.
My MacBook pro has been freezing up and giving me an error message. I did the disk repair and reboot in safe mode for it, and then I restarted it in regular mode. Still crashed and told me to hold down the power button to restart. It seems to only do it while I'm using the Internet. Any suggestions?

My Macbook Pro has been freezing / hanging every 5 minutes
Hello! Ever since I downloaded the latest update from Apple on My Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.3, my macbook pro has been freezing / hanging every 5 minutes. Its very frustrating and irritating. For 30 odd seconds the machine just feezes and then starts working normally.
What do I do?Is it the same as this problem?

I can buy an iPhone 5 from users and it has been icloud, now I can not find it's owner, so anyone show me how to open it not, sir, thank you
There is nothing you can do then. You have a brick.
The phone has an Activation Lock on it, and there is no way to get around it:

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!

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 upgraded toSnow Leopard, after that I was given a continual message that I had to reinstall my Internet Cleanup. So I did. Then I turned my computer off and now it will not turn on at all. Help!
See if your Mac will boot from the install DVD.
Then uninstall Internet Cleanup.

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 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.

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.

How do I save the width and height of a photo for repeated use?
How do I save the width and height of a picture for repeated use, rather than having to enter it each time in the 'new file' box? Thanks, Ed Jackson.
