Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help
My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.

Power Mac Dual G5 2Ghz won't start up
Hi,
Last night I was playing a DVD on my dual G5, and the superdrive started to make unusually loud, weird noises. I tried to restart the computer from the apple menu, but it wouldn't. Then I tried to force quit all my apps, but it wouldn't either. So I proceeded to push the power button for 5 secs. and that worked. Now the computer won't start. I tried resseting both the PRAM and the PMU, but it still won't start. All I get is the power light fading in and out, like it's breathing.
Any ideas or suggestions as to what may be going on?
Thank you ver much,
DanielI have the same problem with a different twist. I was playing a DVD based game last night, logged out to go to bed, then this morning the computer won't wake up, won't reboot, there's no fan or hard drive sounds, but the status light just glows, no flashes. The only way to turn it off was to unplug the system. When I plug the computer back in the light comes back on but it still won't start.
There was a power outage this morning and several over the last few days. Otherwise there were no other changes to my system. The most recent installations were Quake and Age of Empires III (the game referred to above).
Anyone have any ideas? -
Computer won't start up after power outage....
We just had a power outage when our computer was on and now that our power is back, the computer won't start up. (I'm typing this on our power book!) I hold in the button on the back, get the "bong" and then the computer whirs for a while with a black screen and then just dies. What to do??
You can, in addition to Barry's excellent suggestions, reset the SMU.

I deleted my extensions manager and now my Mac won't start up. Please Help!!
I have an IMac, 24" model, running OS X. For the past several days, little warning windows have been popping up with this annoying beep, telling me that my computer was infected with various viruses. 4, to be exact. Also, while on the internet, random pop-up windows have appeared, so I thought I did have a virus. So, to correct the matter (or attempt to), I deleted my preferences folder from the system folder, as well as the extensions manager.
Now, the computer won't start up past the white logo screen with the turning gear thingy. I've tried resetting the PRAM, and starting in safe mode, and safe mode with the progress screen, and even something there while holding the option key (that one gave me an icon of my HD, but clicking on it took me back to an endless wait on the white screen). I've tried starting from the disk that came with the computer (I held the C key) but not only doesn't the computer start from the disk, it spits the disk out. I don't understand. The computer was fine until I deleted the ext. mgr and preferences, so it can't be that the computer went bad or something.
I don't know what else to do here. I do have an extended service warranty with Best Buy, but I wanted to see if there was some way to fix this before hauling this thing off to the store. Any suggestions? I'm desperate here, because anything and everything I've tried (based on all the try-this and try-thats I found on the internet), nothing has worked.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.Well done! You've succeeded in turning your Mac into a useless brick.
Deleting the System/Library/extensions folder and the associated manager removed most of the functionality from your OS.
And all to get rid of what sounds like the MacDefender trojan or a variant.

You may have a slim chance of recovering if it will still boot in Target Disc Mode; in which case you can use another Mac to install the system remotely.
And I doubt your warranty with Best Buy is going to cover user "error."

I deleted the SystemConfiguration folder on OSX Yosemite and now my computer won't reboot.
I need some help. My WiFi connection kept disconnecting all the time so I looked on here and saw that you could fix the problem by following these steps
Navigate to /Library/Preferences using either method:
Terminal: open -a Finder /Library/Preferences
Finder: Open New Finder Window -> "Go" -> "Go To Folder ..." -> [ Type In: /Library/Preferences ]
Backup the folder "SystemConfiguration" by copying it to your Desktop.
Delete the folder as it sits in /Library/Preferences.
Done.
I didn't back up my SystemConfiguration folder and now my computer won't start up again. It gets frozen halfway on the reboot screen.
I don't know what to do. Please help.Hello Tian10an,
Do you have TimeMachine backup? If so you could try to recover(⌘+R) to the last available one.
Unfortunately other than that the only option for you seems to be reinstalling the OS. -
I have an iPhone 5 which I got around two months ago now, it has been working perfectly but it has now suddenly stopped working. It has randomly turned off and it now will not turn back on. When I last checked it had around 80% battery life left, and I try to charge it now to see if it will have some life back in it, but nothing happens. What do you think I can do? Thank you.
press and hold the top power button and home button on the front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple appear, then let go.
phone will start up now.

help please my iphone 4 turned off sundenly and now is not working its says to connect to itunes but when i get to itunes it shuts offf or doesnt work!!! i am depley need help!!! if anybody can help that wuold be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP
The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way. -

My iphone has turned off and is now not working. I plugged it into my computer and it said it was in recovery mode and i had to restore it to fix it. Is there any way i can fix this problem without loosing all my files and photos through restoring it?
There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?
