  • My iPhone 4 shuts off, won't turn back on until connected to computer.

    The phone is fully charged but won't turn on despite holding the home and top button for up to 30 seconds.
    This started yesterday, where I noticed that the phone would shut off at 70% battery and not turn back on. I connected it to my computer and the Apple logo pops up, and after a few seconds (sometimes a few minutes) it goes back to the normal home screen.
    So I completely reset the phone to factory settings and the phone seemed to be fine for an hour, to an hour and a half, until I stopped using it. I looked at the phone maybe 10 minutes later, and it was back to being dead again.
    I charged it fully overnight again, and when I unplugged the phone and walked away briefly and came back, it was off again.
    Any ideas, beside trying to reset it again? The battery life has been bad lately, so I was thinking of buying a new battery anyway, but if its not just a battery issue, then its not worth buying the battery.
    Thanks.

    More info:
    I plugged it in again earlier today after coming across the same problem and it briefly flashed the "no power" symbol before rolling over to the Apple logo and starting up to 100%. So I would guess its battery-related?

  • My iPad just shut off won't turn back on;(

    Help! My iPad just shut off wont charge or come back on?  Whhaaaaa

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • IMac Shut Off - Won't Turn Back On (Fully)

    So, last night I was using my last-iteration iMac and it randomly shut off. I tried to power it back on... and it wouldn't. I then felt the back of the case and it was very hot. I figured it was an overheating issue, but now it won't turn back on. When I hold down the power button, it begins to start up and I can hear it "clicking" then it shuts down. It restarts itself, and I can hear a very low hum. Something is running inside of it, and the disc drive will spin if I put a disc in, but it's not turning on fully. I tried several different troubleshooting techniques with the main problem being nothing will appear on the monitor so a few of them are out of reach. I also tried booting to the boot disc and, again, nothing will appear on the screen. I did the one power reset which caused my fans to blow loudly and I had to, again, fix that, but... yeah. It starts up, shuts itself off, starts back up and something works but I can't tell what is whirring in there. The computer is only about six months old, but I didn't take out the Apple Care so I'm extremely frustrated, as it is well-cared for and this issue seems extremely random. Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide help.

    Hi Jonathan
    Your iMac is warranteed for the first year so you are covered. Applecare extends that to three years but in your case you didn't need to buy it to cover this issue. Call apple and make an appointment to bring it in.

  • My Ipod shut off and wont turn back on even when its been fully charged, and it was working perfectly fine 4 hours ago. What do I do?

    I don't know what happened as it was working perfectly fine, and all of a sudden it shuts off and even when I pressed down on the on and home buttons at the same time, it wouldn't turn on. I don't know what to do.

  • IPod 5th Generation won't turn on, charge, nor connect to PC.

    I have no idea how this iPod came to be this way. It belongs to my 6 year old sister who came to me today asking me to fix it. It's a 5th Generation Product RED iPod Touch.
    The problem now is the screen is not displaying anything. Reset doesn't work. DFU doesn't work. When connected to PC both iPod and PC show no response (tried on multiple USB ports on multiple PCs all running Windows 7 64-bit). When plugged in to an iPhone charger, the iPod displays the Apple logo for a few seconds, goes dark for a few seconds and shows the Apple logo again, and the process repeats. I tried to fix it as a reboot loop but to no avail. While Connected to charger, I manage to put it in DFU mode but when plugged out to be plugged in to the PC it dies and doesn't turn on when connected to PC.
    Preferrably, I would like to have a solution to this which doesn't wipe the iPod as the iPod was never connected to a PC for backup. Thus, all data on the iPod will ultimately be lost.

    See if you missed anything here:
    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Ipod shut off and wont turn on or charge

    i was driving in my car with my ipod 1st gen ipod nano plugged into the casset adapter and it just turned off. i came home and when i plug it into the wall or my laptop... nothing happens... help

    Try Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually takes 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, iPhone may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Computer randomly shut off, won't turn back on

    Ok so a basic run down of what happened.
    I was using my email (I had itunes, transmission, ichat, safari running) and my computer (purchased december of last year) turned off. I waited 5 minutes wondering what happened, thought the outlet might be faulty or something, unplugged and plugged it into the outlet above it.
    Pressed the power button, turned on, worked fine.
    For three hours. Then it did it again, surfing safari; same programs running. Unplugged it, thinking it blew out or something (I live in an older house). Plugged it in to another outlet 3 feet away. Turned on, worked fine - Continued on my merry way.
    3-5 Hours later, same deal. Only this time, I'd run out of nearby outlets. Double checking, and a bit confused I tried plugging something else into the outlet and... It works. Retried plugging in the computer... It doesn't work. It does however make the disc-sound when I press the power button. Nothing afterwards.
    The only trouble I've had thus far is with Boot Camp/Vista. I had Vista installed via Boot Camp and it worked fine but no longer needing it, I unistalled the partition. Upon restarting the computer I go straight to a black screen that tells me to insert the windows disc, but that could be avoided by using option on start up.
    I appreciate any help or advice offered, I'm calling apple right after this is posted and I realize I will likely have to take it in to a store.
    Worth a shot though, just in case.

    The problem you describe is reportedly caused by a bad power supply, in which case you will need to have it repaired. You should contact AppleCare or take it to an Apple Store.

  • HT1430 iPhone randomly shut off, won't turn on even when charged?

    So my phone was about 30% and it died when I was using it. My iPhone has a stuck sleep/wake button, so I can't reset it normally. I've had it plugged in overnight with my charger (which DOES work), but the screen is still black. Is there any way to fix this? :/ I currently have it plugged into my Macbook, but iTunes won't recognize the phone.

    ONly way is to do a reset.  hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    You'l just to have to keep trying until it works.

  • My iPod 2nd Generation won't turn on and will not connect to any computer!

    A few months ago I woke up one morning and tried to turn on my iPod 2nd generation. It wouldn't, so I thought that maybe it was just out of battery. I plugged it into my computer but it would not connect and charge. I tried pluging it in to many other computers and none of them worked. (I tried MACs and PCs) When this happened my warranty was already up. Now my parents want to bring it in to see what is wrong, WHILE THERE IS NO WARRANTY!!!!!!! I told them that it was a waste of time and money because we would have to pay to see what was wrong. If there is something wrong that is easy to fix great!, but if there is something really wrong with it and it is crazy expensive to fix we just waisted time and money. If there is something wrong but there is no way of fixing it we also wasted time and money!! I have explained all of this to my parents but they won't listen!!! Is it worth it to get it checked out or should I just keep trying to explain to them that it's a waste of time and money????   Help!!  

    If your iPod is still charging if you plug it to the adapter, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If it does not charge, you'll have to get it serviced.
    Apple can offer you a replacement device, but you'll have to pay for it:

  • IPod Touch 4G will not turn on, charge or connect to computer.

    I purchased my iPod Touch 4G in October 2010 in America. Last week, while my iPod Touch was connected to my laptop with the USB cable, I pressed the home button with no response. I have tried all forms of reset that I could find on the Apple website with little luck. The iPod Touch will not turn on, connect to the laptop, charge or show up in iTunes. I have tried on several occassions with numerous different methods to charge the iPod Touch but to no avail. There is no response to anything I do when trying to rectify the problem. I believe that my warranty is no longer intact as it has been over a year since the purchase, and I will not be returning to America again until the end of this year. I also updated the iPod Touch to the latest iOS version available before it ceased working.
    Any help is much appreciated.
