Phone won't start unless plugged in. No phone or internet service

On my 4S the phone won't start unless plugged in. Once plugged in it shows 100% charged. If I unplug it it will go dark and no button works.
Once plugged in and the phone is on it keeps searching. I receive no phone or internet service. After awhile it will dim and then go dark. Have to reset to get it back on. Each time, it goes to 4PM and 12/31. Can go through apps, but no sound (music for example).
Anyone have these types of problems before.

Sounds like its broken. Take it to an Apple store for replacement, as its still in warranty. Make an appointment first. http://www.apple.com/retail

Fascinate won't start unless plugged in

My Samsung Fascinate won't start unless plugged in. Even with a full battery. It shows a dead battery and won't start.

How old is the phone/battery? I would order a new, OEM battery from an online retailer (usually inexpensive, fast delivery) like cellularaccessories.com or batteries4less.com and see if that fixes the issue. Batteries do wear out....

Xperia Z won't start unless plugged in!

Xperia Z does not start unless plugged. After plugging it, it does switch on, and once I unplug it, it shuts down and will not restart. Tried force restart and force shut down. When unplugged, Sony logo shows up n then nothing.

Hi @RDr You can try to connect your device to a wall charger and then press and hold power & volume up for more than 10 seconds. Let it charge for 2 to 3 hours. Also you can try by plugging the usb cable as you hold volume down.

Ethernet won't start unless I run systemctl restart dhcpcd.service

My ethernet connection won't start unless I do
sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd.service
I looked through the Arch Wiki and I don't feel like it goes over how to set up the ethernet and I couldn't find much in Google. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks!

I plugged my phone into my a different computer (mac) that was not mine and it asked me to restore the phone. I started to back up the phone, then ended the phone got unplugged in the middle of the backup. Now we can't find where the iPhone backed up.

If it there is a backup you will find in in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. (Just open Finder>Go>Go To Folder..., past this in the path box and click Go.)

G4 won't start unless from a restart or pmu reset

my G4 won't start unless from a restart or, if the computer has been shut down, I have to reset the pmu - with inside button or by removing battery.
Can anyone think of why this happens? What goes on with a shut down that doesn't with a restart? With the problem, nothing happens after the chime and I must hard shut-down, unplug and reset pmu, then it's fine.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
Henry

well, I can't find anything wrong with it. maybe my logic board is shot. i guess i'll take it in to tek serve or an apple store and see if they can figure it out.
thanks for the suggestions, tom.

I-Tunes won't open unless I'm connected to the internet

I am a relatively new user to I-Tunes; when I try to open I-Tunes to play a CD or other files in my library, I-Tunes won't open unless I am connected to the Internet. Is this normal?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Imac won't start unless unplugged for hours

OK, a little history (I'm not sure if it's related, but here it is):
About 2 months ago, I started having trouble getting the computer to wake from sleep. Then, it started having kernel panics. Then, it wouldn't consistently start, and finally would give me the 3 beeps on start up, indicating the RAM was bad. So now, with the offending RAM removed, here are the symptoms:
The iMac (24", late 2007) will sometimes spontaneously shut down after a couple of hours. It cant' be restarted unless I leave it unplugged for several hours. I thought it might be a heat issue, so I downloaded smc fan control, ran them up around 2000-2500, and put iStat Pro on. The temps all stayed below 55C. When I go to turn it on, if shorter than the several hours, I can hear the optical drive make a little sound (I think that's what it is) and then absolutely nothing else happens. Also, once it shuts down, if I leave it plugged in for those several hours, it still won't start. Also of note is that I am not doing anything intense - just some email and Word writing. Anyone else experience this and have any solutions? Or other questions to help me diagnose it?
TIA.

Try running the Apple Hardware Test to see what it throws up, you might also boot from your install disc and use 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.
However, it does sound like a power supply problem, look in User>Applications>Utilities>Console and check the system log for any notations about temperatures.

I tried to update the iTunes software on my iPhone today, and now the phone won't work unless I "restore" it. I don

I tried to update my iTunes software on my iPhone today and plugged it into my laptop. Before the process was complete, I received an error message saying I had to "restore" my iPhone before it would work with iTunes. Even more importantly, and troublesome, is the fact that now my phone won't even work at all. I can't turn the iPhone on, and all the screen shows is the iTunes icon with a picture of the white power cord. Can someone advise if there is a way to update the software without restoring my iPhone, which will cause me to lose everything on the phone (much of which I have not backed up yet)? Last, is my stuff already backed up by iCloud? I believe I have sellected that option on my phone, but honestly, have never really understood what iCloud is or does. Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice.

why dont someone answering gthis ******* problem..

Won't work unless plugged in

My 5th gen. iPod is about a year and a half old and has hardly been used because it WON'T WORK UNLESS IT'S PLUGGED IN! Whenever I plug it into my MacBook, it turns on, restores, syncs, etc. But whenever it is unplugged, it immediately shuts off and won't work. Help?!

Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. More than likely you need a new battery.

Itunes won't start unless a cd is in the cd tray.

Hi all,
I have moved last week from WinXP to Windows 7 and since then iTunes (the last version, 9.0.1) refuses to start, unless I have a cd (data or music doesn't matter) in the cd tray. The error that I get says:
"Quick Time not found. Quick time is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes , then install iTunes again"
Of course Quick Time is installed (combo package with iTunes).
Anybody has an idea about what's happening??
Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks Harv55, but I have already done this twice and nothing happened...
I have even installed separately Quicktime but this didn't help either.

TS3694 MY PHONE WON'T START AFTER A RESET

My phone won't work after i reset all contents

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.
