Thanks for the try Eric... but none of these work. My wifi is stuck in the off position. When I click the "turn wifi on" buttoning my network setting or from the network menu bar... nothing happens.
None of these articles address this issue.
I tried the disabling of AirDrop in Terminal too and my system said it could not find the filE
This is the only thing that worked for me.
1. Go to System Preferences and open 'Network' - or click your wifi triangle along the top tool bar and select 'open network preferences'.
2. Click your wifi on the left hand side from the list, and then click the small cog at the bottom of that box, and click 'Make Service Inactive'.
3. Once you've done that, click the minus to delete your wifi as an option from this box.
4. APPLY!!
All other instructions I read said to click the plus and add your wifi again and then restart. Well that did nothing for me, infact it did nothing about 7 or 8 times, soooooo...
5. Restart your computer now, without any wifi configuration setup.
6. Once restarted, go back into system preferences, into network, and use the + button to add a wifi connection back into your computer.  With any luck, you will be able to click on 'Turn wifi on' and it will actually work!

    my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • HT204204 my apple ipad wont turn on after i updating software

    sir,my apple ipad (16gb) wont turn on after i updating software correctly.so still this off position and cant any work.please help me

    You took a backup on your computer's iTunes prior to starting the backup, or you have a recent backup ? And you have all of the apps that you had on the iPad in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library - none of your iTunes downloads are included in a backup (that contains apps settings and contents), the restore will look to pick them up from your iTunes library.
    To restore select the iPad on your computer's iTunes and either do File > Devices > Restore From Backup
    Or on its Summary tab in iTunes click the 'Restore Backup' button

  • 4s wont turn on after OS update 8.1.3.

    4s wont turn on after OS 8.1.3 update. attempted restart several times with no success. fully charged battery & plugged I at time of update. iTunes doesn't recognize the device since it wont turn on so I cant even do a system restore. no problems previously.
    any suggestions? thanks in advance.

    The message is correct. Once you see the iTunes logo and the USB cord your iPhone must be restored. It has already lost all data stored on it. You can recover your data from a recent backup if you have one. You can recover all purchased music and apps without the backup. When I updated our 2 iPhones, I backed each of them up to iTunes before updating just in case. I recommend that you do this before you do any future updates.

  • My Ipod wont turn on after i update it!!!!

    I was was updating my ipod to th ios 5 or 6 nd it ran out of battery. Now it wont turn on!!! Help

    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.

  • Mac Mini wont' Display Sleep after Yosemite Update

    My Mac Mini is no longer going into Display Sleep. Instead I now see the Screen Saver.  I have checked System Preferences | Energy Saver and it is definitely set to Display Sleep after 10 minutes (The default). What is interesting is that if I try to change the Display Sleep time (e.g. to 1 hour), when I go back into Energy Saver, it is back to 10 minutes - this doesn't look right!  In fact none of the options (e.g. Wake on LAN) seem to stay changed.
    This seemed to start after the update to Yosemite 10.10.1 a few days ago - but that might be coincidental. Until then Display Sleep had worked fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Nick

  • Iphone wont turn on after iOS8 update

    I was updating my Iphone with iOS8 update through iTunes on my laptop it went all through until the end i unplugged my phone as it wasn't doing anything then it come up with iTunes logo and charger logo and now it wont turn on at all, I've tried holding the top button and home button and charging it, nothing is working! help me!

    I eventually got it to work by constantly, over and over again,  plugging the iPhone into the mac with my finger on the home butting until one time it recognised it then I went through the factory reset setting for it to just drop off the iTunes pane and jam on me again. I did the same thing (I know the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result!) again until it recognised it again and thankfully this time it went through all the factory reset process and updated, losing unsaved videos of my sons birthday party the day before in the process ( I thought they got saved to the cloud too, but apparently they don't!) so thats how I fixed it.........that was last Thursday......Today I thought it would be safe enough to update my iPad and guess what? I have been sat here now for an hour, same thing, the update came down, the iPad was prepared for update, the screen went on to the logo screen the bar got to 100, the device disappeared from the iTunes pane and the iPad is stuck in the restart screen!!!! Its been that way for an hour now!!! I am not a happy bunny!!! now I will swiftly be going over to the iPad forums to see if there is any info there about it or should I just try what I did with the phone???? Either way this *****!

  • Iphone5s wont turn on after IOS update

    This morning my phone was ready for the new IOS update. Everything was going fine and it updated as it did before but now it just wont turn on. I tried pressing and holding the power button, the home button, and both at the same time with no luck. Its an older phone and was working fine before. i have no insurance and dont know what to do.

    If it's a 5s it's still under warranty, even if you don't have insurance.

  • ?iphone 4  wont turn on after ios update

    Hi folks, I updated my iphone 4 with the ios5 or 6 update, and when it powercycled it would not turn back on.
    when I try to turn it on, i get the standard apple icon, then a usb symbol will appear with an arrow above it, and the i tunes symbol above that.
    Its obviously telling me to connect to itunes, but when i do, the device registers, but only prompts me to reset the phone. After doing that, same prob...HELP

    If connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article did not help to restore the phone again, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place or by contacting Apple Support.

  • Z10 wont turn on after OS update

    I had my Z10 plugged in while I was updating the new OS. Left it for the night and when I got up the next morning it wouldn't turn on, despite the fact that it was still on when I went to bed. I've tried another charger, tried plugging into the computer with and without a battery. Computer won't recognize that it's plugged in and without a battery, the LED only comes on briefly when being plugged in. I switched batteries with my wife's phone and my battery works fine in her phone with 70% charge. Using her battery, the phone started to boot up, but won't progress passed the blank screen with blackberry written in white across it. I tried it a few times with no further progress. Then I tried to turn off the phone and now it does nothing when I change batteries. I assume there was an issue with the OS update, but dont know what to do next. Suggestions?

    If your phone's data is already backed up, you can try the autoloader procedure here:
    https://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/blackberry10devalpha/devalpha_update.html
    This will install a developer version of the OS, that will not be complete (apps like the clock, etc. will be missing).
    Install a developer OS version that is old, so that it will be out of date vs. what your carrier currently supports.  Once the autoloader procedure is done, go back through the initial device setup and get your wifi etc. set up.  Then go check for updates under the settings app, and load the production consumer OS version from your carrier.
    Once your phone is usable again, you may want to download the free BBVE diagnostics app and run the hardware tests.
