Not turning back on

hey everyone, i was using my new ipod touch this morning when suddenly the screen went black and it will not go back on. i thought maybe i just didnt realize it was dead but it will not charge, the computer will not recognize it and no matter what buttons i hit or hold down it will not turn back on. can anyone help me get it back on and working?

This happened to my brand new, recently updated (4.2.1) ipod this morning as well. I got it to turn back on by holding the power and home buttons together for about 40 seconds. Be patient.
I may try restoring to default if this happens again. I'm very unhappy about this. I use my ipod as an alarmclock and I expect an apple product to be reliable!

  • IPhone crashes and not turning back on

    Hi to all of you.
    First I wanna apoligize if I'm posting this in the wrong discution board, I am new here
    So, here's my problem. I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1.  I got the phone last summer, with iOS 3 point something, and I updated it to it's current iOS. I also unlocked it and jailbroke it, because that was the only way i could use it here in Macedonia.
    Anyway, the phone worked perfectly for like a year until a while ago when it started crashing and not turning back on.
    For example, I'm leaving the phone to charge trough the night(as usual), then I'm using it for listening to music for like half an hour on my way to college. Now the interesting thing...the phone crashes after like half an hour of usage time, and that's usualy at over 90% of baterry, or just over 80%.
    Nevermind, the thing is, after it crashes, there is no way you can turn it back on, even though it had, let's say, 87% of battery power. When I try to turn it back on, the apple logo comes out like usual and fades away after a short while. If I continue trying it's gonna be the same thing, or even it's gonna show that red baterry bar telling me that I have to plug the phone to charge. And when I do that, the phone turns back on and it shows that it has like 60% of battery power(***?) or even less than 5%, it depends on the mood of my iPhone -.-
    And if somehow I manage to turn on the phone without plugging it in, when I go to check the usage stats, it says "Usage time will be shown after iPhone is fully charged"
    So, my question is, what should I do? Is it the battery? Should I get a new one, or maybe should I update my iOS?
    I just want to mention that if I update my iOS, I HAVE to unlock the phone if I wanna use it here.
    Sorry if I took you a lot of time explainig my problem.
    Any help will be appreciated

    These are signs of faulty battery. Battery replacement at Apple Store is $80, and you will get perfect working iPhone 4 same as your current iPhone, except it will be working. Make Genius Reservation and take to Apple. Or have battery replaced elsewhere.

  • IPhone 6 Blue Screen Crash Now my Phone will not stop crashing: Has Not turned back on after last crash.

    I very recently got my new iPhone 6. I got it on new years eve. I'm not sure what version of the OS it is on, but I'm going to assume it is on the latest, 8.1.2. Today has been the only day i have had an issue. Earlier in the day the phone froze and the Wifi was showing to only have one bar. They Phone then shut off and flashed a red screen for about a second. After that, I had no issues for a few hours. Later that night the phone crashed three times. 2 of them showed a blue screen before crashing. The third time the phone would not let me open any apps and then just shut down, and as of right now it has not turned back on. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to replace my phone?

    I was able to turn it on but when I turned on WiFI the apps would not open and the phone crashed again and turned off.

  • 2 day old iphone 5s turns off at 95% battery life and will not turn back on. HELP

    So I had an iphone 4s for two years, the battery started to not last as long, so with my upgrade I got the iphone 5s (greatttt). Anyways I had it for a month then all of a sudden I wasn't getting calls, it took over a minute for me to even get a call to send, then once I was on the call others couldn't hear me well, then it would drop (no problems with service, always happened with full bars).  Brought it to Apple store, they told me it was a combination between the phone and my SIM card.  They gave me a new one and recommended I go to verizon to get a new SIM card.  That same day literally 3 hours later, the phone turned off randomly at 65% battery and WOULD NOT turn back on.  I had to go back to the apple store, they restored my phone and almost gave me another new one. However they tested the battery and everything and came to the conclusion it was okay and that I needed to restore the phone and set it up as if I did not already have an iphone (not use icloud to bring EVERYTHING over) So we did that and it started to work, that was two days ago.  Over the course of the last two days I have SLOWLY downloaded my previous APPS, however the only way to download those are to do it from the "cloud" because apparently I can't just get them from the app store.  Well yesterday I got the blue screen of death, however it came back, I thought nothing except that it was over worked.  Tonight it went down to 1%, I left it on the charger until it was at 96%.  I had NO APPS open. Went to my calendar and added a event for tomorrow, put my phone down and then ten minutes later looked at it and its turned off.  It will not turn on, I tried rebooting pressing both buttons, Ive plugged it back it, switched outlets, switched cords, NOTHING.
    Of course I wish I never got the iphone 5s at this point.
    What now?
    Back to Apple again?

    Yep.
    Just like cars, you lucked on a lemon.

  • My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

    My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    - First try resetting the iPOd:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

    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.

    My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
    I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Wi-Fi turns itself off and will not turn back on

    Right, I had to create a new Apple ID just to access the forum, because for some reason the ID I've had since they existed just throws up a "Page Not Found" error when I log in (backsoon/error URL).  That was just the most sour and rotten cherry on this cake...
    So, I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro, updated to 10.9.5.  For a very long time my bluetooth has been unavailable.  The menubar icon is grey and has the broken bolt through it, the presence pane is missing, and under System Information it finds no hardware.  This was annoying but not particularly problematic, as I rarely if ever use bluetooth.  I only mention this because I know the BT & Wi-Fi board is the same item.
    Of late, however, something much more troubling has started occurring.  My Wi-Fi has been giving me the most obnoxious problem I have ever had with a computer.  At a seemingly random interval that has rapidly shortened to at most 30 minutes, sometimes as low as a single minute, the Wi-Fi will turn off without me knowing.  What I mean is, while the menubar icon will still show full strength, all internet apps lose connection.  If I click the icon, the pulldown menu is devoid of all networks (including the one it is supposedly connected to), and does not find any networks after searching.  If I turn the Wi-Fi off (as though to cycle it off-on), it will not turn back on.  If instead of looking at the menubar pulldown, I go into System Preferences, Wi-Fi is listed as "Off" already and it likewise cannot be turned on.
    System Information does still show the actual hardware card as existing, unlike the BT card.
    The only two changes since this started occurring (though the BT was gone then as well) were switching from a B/G router to an N router, and the October 25th 2014-005 Security Update.  And yes, all our other devices (windows laptop, Yosemite MBP Retina, iPad 1, iPhone 4, 5 & 5S, HP Photosmart which I cannot print to with no wifi) all connect to the Wi-Fi fine.
    So far, I have tried:
    • Removing all the network-associated .plist files.
    • Resetting the PRAM & SMC.
    • Creating a new location in System Prefs with only Wi-Fi in it.
    • Making Wi-Fi inactive and re-activating it in System Prefs.
    • Verified/Repaired Permissions
    • I believe I have verified the drive, but I will try again.
    I have not yet tried reinstalling the system, or a clean install.  The reason for this is the same reason I cannot bring the computer to a genius bar (yes, AppleCare is still active).  I cannot be without this computer, I am an engineering student with finals less than a three weeks away, I have projects and homeworks due even across the coming Thanksgiving break.  Luckily it waited until this weekend to become truly infuriating, so I may have a chance to try a reinstall and/or clean install.
    Any suggestions further would be greatly appreciated.  I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories, but...  This basically started happening a week after Yosemite came out (which I cannot yet upgrade to because its Java version breaks MatLab, and the workaround is too kludgy for me to use).

    This is just like my problem on my 2011 MacBookPro. It drops the wifi connection repeatedly. Sometimes it will reconnect immediately when prompted , sometimes it takes 10 or 20 attempts to login with the router password, continually reporting "incorrect password' until it suddenly connects with that same password!  Sometimes it will then drop that connection within half a minute , sometimes longer. I kept thinking it was a BT internet problem but my iMac, iPad and iPhone all remain connected to the same wifi with no problems. The iMac is also running Yosemite 10.10.1 .  I understand this is a known problem. When will Apple release a fix??

  • My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before

    MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before?  I've only had this for about 3mos.  I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

  • Help my phone was fine turned off and now will not turn back on!!!!!

    Hi Everyone, I am a grandmother who is very new to these smartphones.   I got one of the droid incrdible 2's by HTC.  The phone was working fine until one night I turned it off and went to bed.  Upon waking found the phone would not turn back on???  Has anyone had this problem???  I mean I get nothing!!!  It powers on or something because if you look real close you can see the screen is barely lit.  You can make out a blue looking screen, no apps or nothing.  I have tried taking out the battery and I just do not know where to go from here.  If anyone can help me please direct message me. (email has been edited out for the members privacy)  Thanks so much, Sistereagle

    The same thing is happening with mine.  Went to the Verizon store  ... said it was a faulty battery. Low and behold none of the stores in my area even had a battery in stock.  Have had to wait 5 days for it to come in the mail.  Cost me over $30!!!!!!  Anyway ... after about 15 min.of the rep trying different things, the phone finally came on  .... barely.  He told me to keep it plugged in.  It actually started working fine for almost a week  ... now its doing it again.  Battery came today .. gonna give it a try.  Apparently this is an issue with ALOT of people with this phone.     WHY DOESN'T VERIZON ADDRESS IT!?  
    Makes me rethink my choices when my contract is up in February.  May do some shopping for a different carrier!  I have been a Verizon customer for forever  ... you would think they would make this right!

  • I turned the Ipad off after a game and now will not turn back on. Any clues?

    I just finished playing a game on my new Ipad, turned it off and now it will not turn back on! The battery was charged. Nothing comes on the screen when I plug it in to the charger either. Any clues?

    Be sure to try charging it off the wall plug, not a USB cable to your computer - USB connections generally do not supply enough power for an iPad.

  • My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
    The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
    Any suggestions? Thanks
