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.

    I hit the magnifier tool on my iPad and now it only shows a portion of the screen and I cannot get out of it. What do I do?

    Which magnifier tool are you referring to? If you double-tap with 3 fingers it should disable zoom. Then you can go into Setttings>Accessibility>Zoom and turn it off.

    Did you hold the two button down continuously until seeing the Apple logo? If so have your phone checked out by a technician.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

  • My Apple TV only shows an apple on the tv screen ?

    any suggestions on what's wrong with my Apple TV 3rd generation.
    I Have it all plugged in correctly and only an apple logo appears on tv screen , light is blinking constantly ?

    Hey pypah,
    Thanks for the question. If the light on your Apple TV blinks for more than three minutes and the device is still not responding, you may need to restore your Apple TV:
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting power issues - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203812
    Check the indicator light on the front of your Apple TV.
    - If the light blinks for more than three minutes, restore your Apple TV.
    Thanks,

  • The iPad screen only shows an apple every 3 seconds. what is wrong?

    Screen shows apple every three seconds.I cannot turn it off. the iPad2 is recognized by itunes when connected to computer. Will not start up or shut down.

    If it keeps showing the Apple Logo every few seconds, then it is continuously trying to reload the iOS, but somehting is making it restart.  Normally, a failure should make the iPad boot into recovery mode automatically, but you may have a hardware issue that needs service.
    Try this before getting service:
    1) Plug the iPad into the computer and open iTunes.
    2) Hold the Power Button and Home button simultaneously for 10 seconds, then release the Power button but continue holding the Home button for 20 more seconds or until the iTunes symbol shows on the iPad's screen.
    3) Restore the iPad using iTunes on the computer.
    If you do not get the iTunes symbol on the iPad and continue to see the Apple Logo over and over even while trying these steps, your iPad will need service to get it fixed.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • ?Why do you have to enter it several times over to get an alert in the diary to accept a 1 hr alert to go off 1st and then 2nd alert at 30 mins

    Why is there a problem getting an I phone to accept the fact that I want it to alert me on the first time it goes off an hour before any event and the 2nd alert at 30 mins before the event? I enter the 1st alert for 1 hour and the 2nd alert for 30 mins but it always saves as 30 mins on the 1st alert and an hour as the 2nd alert. It seems the only way around this to to re-enter it several times over and over to get the phone to accept what I want it to do which is time consuming and annoying. Please help.

    I have experiencing this, but only since I have installed I o s 7
    Very frustrating.
