My wifi disconnects and won't turn on again

Hi,
I have an issue with my wifi. When I login I have a working wifi, but then usually a few minutes in the wifi seems to turn off and won't turn on again. I have to restart the computer again in order to make it work.
Any idea how I can fix this?

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see a silver apple it's rebooting.

My phone overheated and won't turn on again

I had my phone on charger when I went to bed and once I woke up i unlocked it to check the battery status, everything was cool so I swiped to unlock and it turned off due to high temperature. I waited for few minutes but it won't turn on again, charging it again didn't help, the reset button, I tried lots of stuff, some info would be nice.

Seems to work, it's on now, but it took me almost a whole day to get it running, had some charging issues, i couldn't tell if it was charging or not, seems to be fine now, not sure if I should be worried or something..
Thanks anyways though, at least I can use it again

My iPhone 4s turns off and won't turn on again without doing the on and home key. Only a month or 2 old. Why?

Airport turns off and won't turn on again

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems with the Wi-Fi on my 15" MacBook Pro (from 2011) running Mountain Lion. Since last week, the wifi only works for 5-10 minutes after booting the computer. After that time, Airport suddenly turns off, and can't be turned on again (I've tried to turn it on both using the drop-down menu at the top of the screen and by going into System Preferences). The only way to turn it back on is to reboot the computer, but then the story repeats itself and the wifi drops after 5-10 minutes.
I have now experienced this at a number of different network locations, and in all cases the other computers on the network have had no problems at all. This problem started suddenly last week and is not happening after a hardware or software update.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but it hasn't helped. I have also tried installing Mountain Lion again using the Recovery Partition, but it didn't help either. I have also tried renaming my network location and changing the value of the wifi MTU as some have suggested for similar problems, but it doesn't help.
I have searched for other discussion threads on this, but have not found anything on exactly the same problem, and have not found any solutions that help. Would you think this is a software or a hardware issue? Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?
Best regards,
Dadi

MacBook froze and won't turn on again

About an hour ago my MacBook all of the sudden froze, which it has never (14 months old) done before, and I can't do anything to get it started again. I had watched a DVD before and was working on Word after that. I noticed that the Mac twice had trouble saving a document and seemed to be about to freeze, but didn't. The third time it did so. Now, once I push the Start button, the screens turns grey, and a repeating clicking sound from somewhere around the DVD-Drive can be heard, which continues until I hit the start button again and turn the Mac off. If I don't do so, so ventilation sets in after roughly two minutes. Nothing else happens. I have tried all key combinations for all different kinds of resets suggested by Mac-support, all of which seem to work (according to sounds the Mac is supposed to make and does make), but did not change anything. I also took out the battery, no result. Thanks very much for any kind of suggestion

Hi kevven, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Just to expand a bit on Sig's great advice...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

IPad Display gets black and won't turn on again

Hello,
the display of my iPad sometimes abruptly turns black as I would put it in Sleep Mode. Although there isn't anything displayed I know that my iPad is still working (from e.g. game music etc.). When I try to reset it (pressing Sleep and Home Button for 10 sec) the Apple logo appeares but it is only visible when I put light directly on it (e.g. sitting with the sun in the back shining on my iPad, hard to explain). However after waiting for some hours (sometimes more than a day) I can wake it up as nothing would have happened.

That sounds like a hardware problem and I would suggest that you take it to an Apple Store and have the iPad evaluated. It sounds like the screen is going bad and I don't think that restoring the device would do any good - since that would be a software fix.

Ipod randomly died and won't turn on again HELP!

The other day I was walking home and I looked down at my Ipod and the screen was slowly fading. Within about 30 seconds the screen completely faded to nothing yet the song kept playing. I let the song play to the end thinking the screen would come back and when the song stopped the Ipod was dead. No new song began playing and the Ipod is unresponsive. It won't even respond when it sits on the dock. I don't think it should be the battery since I just replaced the battery by myself about a month ago. This is a refurbished Ipod and replacing the battery is all I have done since its purchase in January. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! Has my crappy refurb-pod finally played its last song? It didn't even last 6 months....

Oh, I'm sorry about this. I didn't know I was supposed to do a follow-up like this. This is kind of embarrassing...
Anyway, like I said, I did find a way to fix it myself.
Um, and the mods or admins can go ahead and delete this topic if it needs to be.
Thanks guys. :3

Just been watching netflix and my ipad mini switched off and won't turn on again no matter what i do. any ideas?

I have tried pressing both the home button and the power button and nothing happens at all. When I plug it into the mains nothing happens and the same with connecting to my computer. the battery was at around 60% a few minutes before it died so i have no clue as to what has happened :/

1. Reset iPad (ignore)
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air

My iPhone 4 won't turn on and if it does it just freezes and turns off and won't turn off again. Has this happened to anyone one else? And if so how can it be fixed?

Please help

Start with this --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
Next Restore the phone using itunes and set up as a new phone --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If the problem persists you have a hardware problem.
All of this assumes your phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is all bets are off.

HT3205 Hi, 2011 MBP went on sleep mode and won't turn back on, charger and indicator shows green light, led in front on Trackpad lights on for 2 seconds then back off, MBP won't turn back on, what happened???.

Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts. Very helpful. Sorry, I cannot read "logs." My eyes just glass over on those things. Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled." Have you tried the "Automatic" setting? Run the diagnostic test? Results?
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
