Hey laurelletoo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, there’s an issue turning your iPhone 5 on after updating it. Take a look at the article below and try running through the suggestions that it provides.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Take care,

My mbp won't power up after update.

after running an app store update, (Xcode) my mbp won't power up and the battery lights are showing flat even though it was on charge over night.
the update was taking a long time, and it had a message saying something like deleting old files.
i went to bed and left it over night.
when i went back this mornng it had powered down, and the drained the battery even though it was plugged in.
now i can not power up, and i have tried the smc reset.
please help.
many thanks.

This is the standard Apple support article for your situation. If you cannot try another adapter to try, I suspect a trip to an Apple store genius bar is in your future.

Airport won't power up after updates 5.5.2 and 7.5.2

I updated this afternoon via Software Update: Airport Utility (to v. 5.5.2) and Airport Extreme firmware (to v. 7.5.2). Everything seemed fine, noticed no problems and later I shut down my main computer for the day.
When my wife came home later, she couldn't get an Airport connection on her MacBook Pro. In the process of troubleshooting, I went back to the Base Station and found it was off (no light at all). It simply won't power up at all. Unplugged it, replugged it, etc.
Seems like too much of a coincidence that my unit would have just flat-out died after these updates.
Anybody know what's up?

Thanks Bob, I'm afraid you're right. I didn't know that a firmware update could fry hardware like this! It's just too much of a coincidence to be a... well, coincidence. (Especially now that I see all the other people having problems today after this update.)
I've also reported the issue to Apple via the link you posted in another thread: http://www.apple.com/feedback/airportextreme.html

LG Cosmos 2 Won't Power On After Update

Yesterday, I flew into Phoenix, AZ and upon turning on my phone, was asked to install an update. My phone was on a full battery, which I can usually last on for a few days unless I'm using it excessively. After getting to my apartment, I exchanged a few text messages and everything was working fine. But when I woke up this morning to the sound of my phone turning off, I was a little surprised since it was on a full battery. I went to turn it back on, got the "Verizon Wireless" screen, and then black. I thought the battery may have miraculously died, so I plugged it in -- still nothing. Also have tried removing the battery multiple times. Now, my phone is plugged in, and the Verizon Wireless screen is flashing on and off every 1-2 seconds.
This is a serious issue for me, especially the day after moving into a new place. I need this solved quickly.
Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
This is not the experience I'd want you to have upon returning home, and especially not after just moving into your new home! I would love to help!
I see you've already tried all of the troubleshooting steps I would have suggested. When did you purchase this LG Cosmos 2? Is it still in warranty or did you purchase the Extended Warranty coverage? Does the device have any physical or liquid damages? I would also recommend taking the device into one of our corporate store locations so they can test the battery and charger. Here's a link for our store locator: http://bit.ly/TnUkMM. Let me know so I can further assist. Thanks!

Serious Issues after update, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Two nights ago i did a software update. Shut the computer down everything was fine. Im not sure the software update worked properly. When i restarted the computer later that evening, all i got was the gray screen with the apple. A friend was searching forums for me over the internet while we were trying to fix it. Did the CTRL OPTION R P thing and that didnt work. Did the CTRL S and that didnt work. Next day went and bought a Snow Leapord cd. After three hours the status bar moved appx 3/4 of an inch. Took it to apple. They wiped the Hardrive clean and reinstalled Snow Leapord to it. Now it restarts and operates. However, it takes about 15 min for it to start up and get to the desktop and it runs TERRIBLY slow. It has a 500g hard drive that was put in 2 weeks ago. It also has 2g of RAM. After taking it to apple it is only showing 1.5G of RAM after the wiped the hard drive. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! Everything was working fabulous prior to 2 nights ago.

Well I just rewiped the hardrive clean and reinstalled snow leapord. IT WORKED!!!!!! Computer is running fast as could be, start ups in less than 30 seconds, no lagging. Im really happy as i bought this computer from a good friend and its less than a week since ive had it. I think ill just live with the ram still showing 1.5g. I think ill wait and just go get 2 4g sticks when i get around to it that way It will be as fast as possible and ill be using the ports to their full potential.

TS3694 Phone won't Restore (error 3194). Please HELP!!

My iPhone 4 is unlocked and was running on iOS 4.3.3. I am travelling and so delayed upgraging to iOS 5 till the release of iOS 6. Now, suddenly my phone is stuck on the Connect to iTunes Logo. Connecting to iTunes and Restoring to iOS 6 gives me ERROR 3194.
I have tried to Restore to iOS 5 as well as iOS 4.3.3. but all to no avail. iTunes checks with Apple Server and downloads the software (a slow painful process abroad!!) and then tries to instal the iOS only to come up with Error 3194.
I have tried repeatedly, with the same results.
Please HELP urgently... I am dead without the phone!!
Thanks in advance.

My phone won't turn on after updating ios 6.1

I've updated ios 6.1. The phone went off durign the night (it had 60% battery).
Now it only turns on plugged to the wall socket (not if I plug it to the USB port) and it shows the "iOS 6 Configuration" screen, telling me to connect to iTunes, but if I unplug it to connect to the USB, it turns off.
If I plug it to the USB, it keeps showing the little apple, and turns off, again and again. It never gets to the same screen of the "iOS 6 configuration".
I can´t seem to turn it on with de DFU mode plugged to the computer.

Hi elmauki,
Error 21
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Error 1602
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Macbook Air won't power up after update

My son is on an internship in Alaska with his Macbook Air -- bringing the Macbook Air in to a "Genius" is not an option.
His Macbook Air (about 2 years old) has been working perfectly, but then this morning Apple pushed an update so he downloaded and applied it and now his Macbook Air will not power on. At all.
Is there a reset hole / button or anything he can do? Or is he just out of luck for the next several weeks until he comes back?
I cannot tell you which release the Macbook Air is, given that he cannot power it up to see, but he, like all of us, is running the latest OSX.

Thanks to Loner T and others in that thread I linked to above, my son's Macbook Air is now working again.
Doing the following 3 times brought it back:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected
3. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time
4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time
5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

My iphone 4 won't power on after charging? HELP

i have tried the technique of holding the power button and home screen button but no use.
It isn't reconised on the computer and it will call without going to answer machine

Hey noahkesevie!
I have an article for you that can help you further troubleshoot the issue you are seeing. The article is about troubleshooting a multitude of hardware issues on the iPhone, and can be found right here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
You will want to pay special attention to this section:
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 LCIs and 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 using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

5g 30gig iPod not working after update, Please Help!

I have a 5th gen 30gig iPod and a yesterday I tried to update it. During the update after it shut itself off and started back up the updater froze around 20%. After about two hours of waiting I forced the updater to quit (restarted it with menu/select) and then tried to turn it back on to no avail. So right now the iPod is dead.
I've tried the whole hold menu/select to reset (even for up to a min) then I did the flip hold on and off and try again method. I also tried with the iPod plugged into my PC and my Mac. I also tried using the AC adapter. All attempts resulted in failure. Because it stopped working after the update I'm confident that it isn't the battery or that the iPod is physically damaged and that this is just a software issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and therefore have no warranty for it.

I am having the same exact problem as you, it just won't boot up. The apple logo lights up on the screen for a little while and tried to boot up, then the screen goes black, and it starts over, the ipod trying,(and failing)to boot up. This goes on like this until the battery is dead. I'll repost if I figure out how to fix this.

IPad 2 cannot connect to Wifi before and after updating PLEASE HELP

i have been using iOS 5.1.1 till today.. the connection to wifi stopped working.. it slowly faded away and today i woke up and could not connect to My wifi at all, i have decided to update my iPad to iOS 7.0.4 but the problem is there
what should i doo ??

It could be a problem with your WiFi router or your iPad.
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Ipad2- all files was gone after updated. please help

after i click "updated" of my ipad2, all my files was gone, all viedo ..photos was disappeared,
how should i do??? is it possible to find back my files???

Restore from iTunes or iCloud backup if you have one.

All info lost after update, please help.

So I updated my phone a few nights ago and it went fairly smoothly. It dropped my apps, but that was easily fixed by going to the app store and just redownloading them all.
Tonight, I went to update my wife's phone. I first synced it so it would make a backup of everything on it. Started the update and it dropped everything from her phone (contacts, pics, apps, matter of fact, its like its a brand new phone...) So I thought to myself, no biggie, I'll just restore it.
Now, I use the same computer for my wife and I's phones. I went to restore her phone and it only has restore points for my phone. Is there anything I'm missing? As many husband's out there probably know, this is going to be a fun conversation to have with my wife that I lost everything on her phone (albeit not my fault but that really doesn't matter).
Please, please, please someone let me know if there is anything I can do to restore her phone before this update threatens a wife's wrath being brought upon a husband just trying to make her phone faster.
Thanks.

Even if it told me it was creating a backup? I can understand that apple doesnt care too much about multiple people using one computer (hope you caught the sarcasm), but if it told me it was creating a packup, shouldnt it have legitimately created one? It doesnt even show one in the restore from log.

Iphone won't power on after screen replacement

So I've dropped my Iphone 4S once and screen showed blue vertical lines. I replaced the screen for about $120. After 6 months or so I dropped it again and the screen cracked. I decided to replace the screen on my own so I got a new one and replaced it, but the phone doesn't power on after the screen replacement. I plugged it on charger, did a hard reset but still nothing. I plugged it on pc and it was recognized by the itunes! As it was plugged on pc, I did a reboot again and it left itunes as if it was powered on and suddenly powered off. Still plugged in I tried to power it on again, it was recognized again by the itunes but the screen still wasn't working. Another thing is that it burns a lot without even being on charger or on pc, and I need to take the battery off.

Sorry. There's not much we can suggest. Apple won't touch that phone now.
Try looking for advice someplace like ifixit.com.
