  • Dead end? Iphone 3gs wont turn on, home button is broken

    Hi! I have my iPhone 3gs for about 3 years now, working flawless. Last night I had my iphone on low battery until eventually it died. I connected it about 30 mins later to my charger, but after a hour I noticed it just won't react! I tried four other chargers that are compatible and none seemed to work. So I tried maybe to do a DFU mode solution, but my home button is broken so I can't do it manually. It's possible as a software in the PC..But the catch is my PC wont recognize my phone...:P
    This looks like a complete dead end! Do people here have any other solution to this? Else...I'm afraid I might be needing to get a new phone. :/

    You can probably get the home button fixed (and maybe a new battery) at a local repair shop.  Else, purchase a new phone.

    - 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.

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Take your original proof of purchase from an Apple authorized retailer (or Apple Store) and the police report, make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they should be able to help you.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • My ipod 5th gen keeps turning off whenever I unlock it!

    A few days ago I was on my ipod 5th gen and it randomly restarted itself, I didn't think much of it but as soon as I unlocked my ipod it froze for a second or two and restarted itself again, it happens every time I unlock it, if i stay on the home screen its fine and I can access my music but it wont connect to any wifi and always restarts itself every time i type in the passcode. I've tried going into itunes to back it up and restore it but it needs me to allow access to my ipod by unlocking it (which i cant do) and saying i trust my computer. Nothing ive tried has done anything and i cant back it up cuz i cant unlock my ipod without it restarting itself.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from an existing backup. You may have an iCloud backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • My Ipod won't turn on & home button is broken

    Okay so the home button on my Ipod 4th generation 32gb stopped working, but i found the assisted navigation thing which helps me use my ipod without the home button. However, today i had my ipod plugged into my computer to download music and when i finished it was all good n dandy, however my ipod just suddenly turned off and it won't come on again!
    I've looked around and people have said to hold down the power and home button for 10 secs then it will turn on - but only one problem, my home button is broken.
    Is there anything else I can do that will fix it?

    - Try connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring via iTunes.
    - If not successful see if this program will get the iPod in recovery mode so you can restore it.

  • IPod 5th Gen keeps turning on and off!! ***

    My iPod 5th Gen just keeps turning on and off, I dunno why but it just does!
    I just updated the iPod about 10 minutes ago, and it completed then right after it comes up with the Silver Apple logo, then lights up, then shuts down, makes the hard drive clicky sound too. And just does that over and over and over again. I hate it.
    I've tried to put it into Disk mode, and Menu+Select and Menu+Play. Nothing works!
    What do I do??

    im having the same problems but once i get my ipod into disk mode i cant seem to restore it..
    You restore it when plugged into your computer and it shows up in iTunes. The restore function is in iTunes. Sometimes you have to force the iPod into disk mode in order to get it to mount and show up in iTunes.

  • Ipod has been disabled but the home button is broken is there another way of rebooting?

    My kids  iPod Touch has been disabled, have tried to do a recovery as the code as been forgotten, but the home button is broken is there other options?

    I know of no such way. RecBoot will place an iPod in recvery mode without using the butttons but I know of no similar program for DFU mode.

  • Iphone5 stuck. Won't go past Apple logo. Sleep/wake and home button together don't help. Connecting to iTunes also does not wo

    MY iphone5 is stuck on apple logo. Sleep/wake and home button together don't work and connecting to iTunes doesn't either. Anyone any ideas

    You need to hold both those buttons down for several seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Don't release until then.
