You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

    Could be a problem with the 30-pin connector port or the cable. Is there an Apple Store or Apple authorized support center nearby?

  • Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

    My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops.  It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
    The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
    Any advice gretly appreciated.

    my iphone 4 will not turn on just keep geting logo on screen

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if not already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    You might try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    My phone will receive emails but it will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but doesn't allow me an opportunity to enter it again.  Any thoughts?

    Under settings>mail, contacts and calendars if you click on the account... then the account name again on the next page.... then click outgoing mail server... then click under the words primary server... here is where you can enter your password... it's most likely missing or incorrect.
    good luck

  • My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • My iphone 5 will not turn on it goes straight to connect to itunes screen

    I connected my phone to my laptop this morning to sync some photos and music and my itunes asked to update the software. The update did not work as the driver device did not install and now my iphone will not turn on. When I press the sleep/wake button the white screen with the apple logo comes on and then I see a black screen with the usb cable pointing to the itunes logo. When I connect to itunes nothing happens. What can I do?

  • Iphone 4 will not turn on, respond to buttons, or connect to Itunes - HELP

    I let my Iphone 4 charge overnight and it was working this morning with a full battery. I picked it up a few hours ago and clicked the home button, and it did not respond. It is completely off and will not charge or display anything on the screen. A hard reset (home/power buttons) did not work, and it cannot be restored because Itunes will not recognize it. The charger works because it works with my ipod, so it has to be my iphone.
    - It is a factory refurb
    - None of the LCIs are triggered
    WHAT IS GOING ON? Please help!

    I was stupid enough to sign up with Telstra for an iphone4 on Boxing day. The camera shutter would not open so I took the phone back and argued for an hour before they replaced the phone. Almost 24 hours to the minute the replacement phone turned off and I cannot turn it back on. I am furious with both Telstra and the crap product Apple are allowed to sell. Will be going to consumer affairs as soon as the holidays are over.
