Iphone is frozen on the apple screen. Was freezing and so turned it off and now it will not reboot?

My iphone started acting slow and would become frozen as I tried to re-download facebook. I turned the phone off and now it will not turn back on and stays frozen on the apple screen. Is it possible that viruses can be downloaded on the iphone?

Try a force restart by holding the power and home button down at the same time. One of two things will PROBABLY happen; 1) It will boot into iOS as normal. 2) You will get an iTunes logo with a USB cable at the bottom. If the second happens you will need to plug it into iTunes to do a restore. If neither of these happen, force restart again. Once the phone powers off, let go of both buttons and push and hold the home button and plug the phone into iTunes. This will force the phone into recovery mode. Proceed with a restore at that point.

  • My iPhone is stuck on the apple screen. How can I power it off?

    How can I power off my phone,it is stuck on the apple screen?

    Hello GrayLady6,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like your phone is not responding and is stuck at the Apple logo. I would next reset the device with this process:
    Reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If this does not resolve your issue, I would next attenot putting the device into recovery mode and then restoring it with iTunes:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • When i decline calls in my iphone 4 with ios7 the phone blocks. I have to turn it off and turn it on again to unblock it.

    I've had this problem with previous OS also. I get to annoying windows asking if I want to cancel, return or a list of available messages to send to the incoming phone number.

    Take a look at this

    Pay particular attention to suggestion number 5. The one that talks about restoring the device using iTunes and using Recovery Mode if necessary. Most likely, that is where you are headed.

    Unknown "source"?  Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

    Follow the instructions in the article.  When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • How do i fix my home button it has completely stopped working after i dropped it and now its frozen on the apple screen?

    so yesterday i dropped my iphone and the home key stopped working. i had to turn the phone completely off to change screens and get back to the home page. today i turned it off to get back to the home screen and now it is frozen on the apple screen. its been like this for about an hour or so. i plugged it into the computer and it still hasnt done anything. i try to reset it but of course since the home button isnt working it wont allow me to do so.
    does anyone know what to do besides taking it to apple?

    You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide.  If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • Downloaded OS 10.10. Was instructed to download iPhone 9.6. After 9.6 was downloaded iPhoto requested to update photo library which it will not do. How do I upgrade the photo library?

    Downloaded OS 10.10. Was instructed to download iPhone 9.6. After 9.6 was downloaded iPhoto requested to update photo library which it will not do. How do I upgrade the photo library?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
