What does it mean if i only see the apple sign on my iphone

My iPhone 4 suddenly went blank, and I failed to turn it on even when I press the switch and home button together at the same time, so I tried to charge it instead.
The apple sign appeared but stayed for a long time so I waited and it finally vibrated and lit up with "iOS 6" showing and it said "slide to set up" ...
I don't think I backed up my stuff because I recently got a new laptop... so does that mean everything is lost?

If there's no backup then most of the stuff is gone.
You can re-download if available apps, music and books for free form iTunes/App Store under Purchased.

  • In iphoto I get the mesage "The volume for [picture] cannot be found"  What does this mean?  I can see the pictures

    iphoto message is "The volume for this photo cannot be found."  I can see the pictures but cannot move them?

    The "volume" is referring to the picture's location, i.e. hard drive, etc. In any case there is an iPhoto forum where those experts are. Post there.

  • After changing the battery in my iphone 4s, the phone will not boot up. I only see the apple and when it sits for a few minutes, a code shows above it. What is going on? Did I damage the phone by replacing the battery?

    My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.

    iPhones are not user servicable.
    Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

    What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

    It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • What does it mean on an ipad2 when the lock icon beside the signal strength comes on and off?

    What does it mean on an ipad2 when the lock icon beside the signal strength comes on and off, and an intermittant lock appears on the left beside the SSID name?
    I am trying to connect to a Cisco network, and even though the SSID is open authentication the ipad will either say it cannot connect or ask for the password.

    That's a "resize" arrow. Try relaunching Finder (Cmd+Opt+Esc) or >Force Quit

  • What do I do if my IPad wont turn on completely and what I mean by that I see the Apple logo and I think that it is turning on and then after a while i see the loading symbol which means that it isn't frozen and then all of a sudden it shows the apple log

    What do I do if my IPad wont turn on completely and what I mean by that I see the Apple logo and I think that it is turning on and then
    after a while i see the loading symbol which means that it isn't frozen and then all of a sudden it shows the apple logo once more and it repeats the above

    Try this first.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the iOS software.

    If that doesn't work, try this.

  • HT4101 What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power?

    What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power, when using the ipad lightening pin camera connection kit?

    Just that. The iPad allocates a certain amount of power to that port. If the device you're trying to plug in wants more than the iPad is willing to give, it'll trigger that warning.
    If it's something that you just must hook up you can try using a powered USB hub, but results are mixed at best.
    What are you trying to hook to your iPad?

  • Iphone not work i can only see the APPLE NOT WORK, iphone not work i can only see the APPLE NOT WORK

    iphone not work i can only see the APPLE NOT WORK, iphone not work i can only see the APPLE NOT WORK

    First, try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not help, connect in recovery mode and restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore

    Hi Logic Pro
    You probably have a corrupt preference file, specifically 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, so ...
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
    Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
    If this alone doesn't work, you may need to delete your caches, so repeat the above and then:
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything. Again, you need to log out and back in.
    Let us know if this helps.
