  • HT4623 I installed ios7 on my iPad 2 yesterday, this morning it wouldn't open the weather channel app. I thought maybe I should power it down. When I held down on the power button the screen went black and now it won't do anything. What do I do now?

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

    You sure the battery is not out of power?
    Try doing a Restart/Reset.  In this case, it would be the Reset procedure if it does not turn on normally.

  • Phone just went blank and now won't turn on

    I was using it fine, then I put it in my pocket and took it out about 10 minutes later and the screen was black. My friend rang my phone and it rang on hers but nothing happened on my phone. ps my home button doesn't work so i can't hold the home button and lock button down. Nothing happens when I plug it into the laptop as well. Please help me? Is the phone just dead?

    I am having this same problem right now. I can not make phone calls. I can receive them. I can send and receive text messages and wi-fi / 3G work great. I sent my phone back to Apple and I've just been informed that they are returning it to me broken because of what they call accidental damage or misuse. My phone has never been dropped or damaged. It does not have a scratch on it. I have only ever downloaded software from the App Store and have never misused it. I started having problems right after I downloaded the latest OS update about a month ago. One day the screen froze up and wouldn't respond, so I had to do a complete reset. After that it wouldn't make calls. So, another 1 or 2 full resets, a 3 hour phone call to ATT and Apple, and FedExing my phone to them, I am now getting a broken phone returned to me and Apple telling me the warranty is void. How convenient for them. Ahhh, that wonderful customer service that they show to their loyal customers.

  • HT4061 my phone just went off and now will not turn back on... will not connet to itunes to download or backup

    ok phone worked one minute and then just cut off and has not come back on ..... no water damage no extreme temperatures.... will not sync with itunes account ... nothing ... any suggestions

    try putting it on recovery mode or dfu mode  or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 or  try to connect the iphone to your computer while holding the home button, if this doeant work more likely your battery is totally dead try doing a hard reset while the iphone is connected to the usb port by pressing the home button and sleep/wake button at same time and wait for the apple to appear and release the sleep wake button usually this works  ... restore the iphone..... if it still continueds to shut down your logic board  or the battery is already  bad

  • My iphone's screen went black and now it won't stop vibrating..

    My iPhone's battery was at 20% and I tried calling my fiance and the phone's screen went black. When I tried turning it on/off, it starting vibrating out of control, and it still is. I tried plugging it in but iTunes can't detect it. Help!!

    hold down the two buttons past the sliding powere bar If it dont work let the battery run down

  • My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%, and now it won't turn on.

    My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.

    I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.

  • Why did my iPhone 4S just shut off and now it won't turn back on?

    Okay, so last night I was using my phone and the battery got to about 8% last time I checked.  Then I put it in my pocket and a little while later I tried to turn it on with the home button (because my lock button has somehow gotten jammed into the phone) but nothing happened.  It didn't even show the charge battery sign or anything.  So I plugged it up, and still nothing has worked.  Today, it is still messed up and won't turn on and it's really frustrating me.  My mom told me that I don't have insurance on my phone and it has been jailbroken before.  Is there anything I can do for it? My 2 year contract with Verizon is up on August 12th. Can I just take it to them and have them look at it and replace it for free?

    Hello there, Golf103.
    For the issue of not powering on, the following Knowledge Base article has a few good pointers to try:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • My iphone froze and now it won't turn on or charge! Help please!

    I downloaded a book app onto my phone, after trying to use it, it froze and the home button wouldn't work, so me being the idiot that I am decided that maybe if I locked it, it would work.. it didn't and so the phone went black, but it would still ring and play music (although I couldn't answer), and then once my music stopped playing, I couldn't turn it back on. Now, my phone has finally died and has been charging for about an hour, via the wall and now via the computer and it still hasn't turned on. Any suggestions?

  • My Magsafe adapter blew while charging and now Macbook won't turn on or charge?

    My macbook was completely dead (we just got back from vacation). I plugged it in to charge it with my Magsafe L adapter (that came with my macbook) and turned my macbook on. Within 20 minutes (it was around 40% charged at that point I believe), I heard a "pop" and the computer shut off. Completely. No warning. I felt the L shape and it was HOT. I immediately unplugged the adapter from the wall and the box was just as hot if not hotter. The 2 pronged plug has burn looking marks on the metal, which leads me to believe it blew and is dead. Now my macbook won't turn on. I tried a few troubleshooting things (control-command-power button for 3 seconds and shift-option-p-r-power button) and there was no response.
    Am I screwed? Will I even be able to get anything off my macbook?
    I purchased it in 2009ish if that helps.

    If you are in the US or Canada, you could make a Genius appointment
    at an Apple Store for a diagnostic check of the computer to see if the
    DC-in board (or magsafe board) is still OK.
    Or if it was toasted from the power surge or failure of the adapter. If
    so, then it would need a service for replacement. Troubleshooting
    the charging system may well extend to checking the rest of the
    computer hardware, as so much is integrated.
    There may be some ideas on repair questions in an appropriate
    iFixit guide for MacBooks, online at their site. Not sure if there is
    a guide for those power adapters, but had read where repairs had
    been attempted by individuals several years ago, posted online.
    Hopefully you can reconcile your differences with the MacBook.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation finished updating and now it won't turn on. the charge finishes, and when plugged in, it goes to a blue then white screen. and i cant do anything. also wont connect to iTunes. pls help

    hi. my ipod touch i guess finished updating. and now when it trys to turn on, a blue screen comes up and then the blue screen changes to a white one. and i cant do anything to it. also it own connect to itunes. help pls

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My phone just went black and won't turn on, I have tried pluging it in to the computer and charging it! still doesn't work.

    My iPhone 4 wont turn on! Does anyone know how to turn it back on? I have tried plugging it in to the computer and tried to charge it, nothing works!

    Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
    (I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
    Thanks, L
