4S won't stay on w/o a power source after update to ios7

I've updated to ios 7 now my iphone 4s won't stay on unless it's plugged to a power source. As soon as I unplug the power source, the iphone completely shuts off and won't turn back on! What's the fix??

HT4972 Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?

Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?
I updated my iPhone 4 over wifi and it went through the process fine, until it switched back on and now refusese to recognize my sim card!
Any ideas?

Usually this means the phone was previously jailbroken or hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and the update re-locked it to that carrier.

IPhone won't activate after updating to iOS7... even after connecting to iTunes...

my iOS7 wouldn't budge after updating so I performed the silly mistake of doing a system restore. It updated but now my iPhone won't activate! Do you think it's the servers? I'm perfectly connected to my wifi and my phone is connected to iTunes!

Yeah... Thanks! It finally managed to pull through... ugh... was getting slightly worried because I needed it for something important at the moment... but thankfully it's okay now.

My privacy setting is stuck on Remember history, won't stay on Use custom settings for history after I set and click ok

When I go into Tools, Options, Privacy and set 'Use custom settings for history' and then click okay it will not save. It stays on 'Remember history', though it will save 'Never remember history' as I tested this. This seems to have happened after recent Firefox latest update. Does anyone know why I can't choose 'Use custom settings for history' as this is the setting I want to use?

It's not that I'm not satisfied with the current settings, it's just that I'm one of those curious people - wanting to know why suddenly I couldn't change my history setting when I could always chop and change it before to a setting of my choice. I noticed this has happened since recently updating to Firefox 6. When things like this just happen I always search for a reason. Anyway, it sounds as though I am a bit of a novice on Firefox compared to yourself, and if you recommend that it's probably best to stay on Remember History and it's not likely to cause any problems, then say no more, I shall accept your advice. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Contacts won't stay on my iphone 4, they erase after I upload them.

I have my contacts saved to iCloud do I still have my contacts but when I upload them back on my phone the get deleted? I can upload them and go to my contacts and they will be there but then after about 10sexonds the erase and days no contacts? I've checked all settings, nothing changed unless something reset? I have contacts "on" so it should save. I have 2.9 GB free on my phone, I hard booted it, I backed it up and updated it on the computer, still nothing?
Also it says randomly it can't connect to a server when recieving mail even though I had 5 bars and wifi? Again nothing changed?
Lastly my phone won't update from the settings? Whatsoever up with it?
I've hard booted it so many times... What's wrong with it?
It's only 11 months old, will Apple replace it? Thanks

This appears to be related to the same issue afflicting FaceTime logins on iPad. You must go to wifi settings>advanced and put 8.8.8.8 in the DNS section. Not only does this enable FaceTime login it allows automatic selection. Click auto "on". It may reset to "off". Click again and it should stick on

FaceTime won't stay connected on WiFi on iPhone 4 after iOS6 update

My boyfriend and I both have the iPhone 4. We rely on FaceTime to video chat with each other as he lives in another city from myself and our daughter. We used FaceTime almost on a daily basis over WiFi prior to updating to iOS 6. Since updating to iOS6, neither of us can get FaceTime to maintain a connection to the other for more then a few seconds. FaceTime connects, then the screen goes black says reconnecting and it's a 50/50 guess as to whether it will reconnect and we can see each other for a split second before it goes black and reconnects again or just simply disconnects us. This has been happening for weeks now. I've been in touch with Rogers "technical" support and was told that since we only have iPhone 4 and are using FaceTime over WiFi that they can't do anything to help and I need to contact Apple as it's an Apple Server issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions other then telling me to upgrade to the iPhone 5 so we can use FaceTime over 3G?

So you're saying that it's only your phone that has the wifi problem? Like your friends are using the same wifi as you, but only you lose connection while they don't?
If that's the case, does the wifi have a passcode? And also some wifi networks have a verification before the wifi becomes accessible. For example, you may connect to a wifi network without having to put a password, but then you would need to open Safari and you would need to confirm some things before you're able to use it. Like in college, the wifi is free and open to everyone but only students who have a user and pass are able to access the wifi.
2nd possible solution is to reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if that works.
3rd, restart your phone by turning it on/off.
4th, restore your phone on iTunes.

Apple TV won't turn on, respond, or appear in iTunes after update-Help!

The update didn't fully finish, I believe, and eventually I think the Apple TV turned off. Now it won't turn on on respond in any way.
I've tried plugging it into iTunes with micro USB, several times. Never shows up. It doesn't light up at all no matter waht i do... Whattt should I do?
Thanks!

Check that you have correctly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
If not already, try using a powered USB port.
Repeat the process but this time try connecting the cable while iTunes is closed.
Repeat the process with another cable.
Try restoring the Apple TV on another computer in another location.

Why won't my music sync on my iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 8.

When I try to sync my music not all the songs come over onto my phone. The player sees what should be there and then skips them.

I found a solution that worked for me. I had this same problem and I feel like I tried everything. No matter how many time I synced, the songs appeared to be on my phone, but they would just get skipped over if I tried to play them ("ghost" songs). The answer is not checking and unchecking artists/playlists/etc in iTunes. The phone still thinks the songs are there so it won't sync them to the phone. Here's what to do: go to Settings --> Music and then make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then go to the Music app and try to play through your songs. Now, when a song is skipped over it should no longer appear in the iPhone's library. Once all songs are skipped (could take a few minutes depending on the size of your library), the "ghost" songs will disappear. On the next sync iTunes will put them all back on the phone. Hope this helps.

Why won't my iPhone 4S hold a charge after updating to ios7 ?

I accidental update my iPhone 4S to IOS 7 and now it won't hold a charge for a day? Why is that. I had no problems before the update ...

I am having the same problem with my 4S since the last update. It was shutting off at 38% now today it shut off at 50%. It's driving me nutz and is not very reliable. Some one please suggest something to do. I was wondering if I should eliminate some apps that just updated one by one to see if that helped or just go through that nasty reset. I don't really want to do that but if I have to I will.

My mbp won't power up after update.

after running an app store update, (Xcode) my mbp won't power up and the battery lights are showing flat even though it was on charge over night.
the update was taking a long time, and it had a message saying something like deleting old files.
i went to bed and left it over night.
when i went back this mornng it had powered down, and the drained the battery even though it was plugged in.
now i can not power up, and i have tried the smc reset.
please help.
many thanks.

This is the standard Apple support article for your situation. If you cannot try another adapter to try, I suspect a trip to an Apple store genius bar is in your future.

Airport won't power up after updates 5.5.2 and 7.5.2

I updated this afternoon via Software Update: Airport Utility (to v. 5.5.2) and Airport Extreme firmware (to v. 7.5.2). Everything seemed fine, noticed no problems and later I shut down my main computer for the day.
When my wife came home later, she couldn't get an Airport connection on her MacBook Pro. In the process of troubleshooting, I went back to the Base Station and found it was off (no light at all). It simply won't power up at all. Unplugged it, replugged it, etc.
Seems like too much of a coincidence that my unit would have just flat-out died after these updates.
Anybody know what's up?

Thanks Bob, I'm afraid you're right. I didn't know that a firmware update could fry hardware like this! It's just too much of a coincidence to be a... well, coincidence. (Especially now that I see all the other people having problems today after this update.)
I've also reported the issue to Apple via the link you posted in another thread: http://www.apple.com/feedback/airportextreme.html

After updating to ios7, my apps won't update and I can't download anything from the App Store or iTunes Store.

After updating to ios 7, I have tried to update my apps and I can't. I press update and put my password in, the blue circle goes round, but in a few seconds, it stops and acts as if nothing happened in the first place.
Please help, as I can't play a game as it needs the new update!
Thank you.

This has been happening to a few people right after upgrading. Just wait and give it some time and you will get the updates. The other thing you may see for a while is that there are updates available, which in fact, have already updated previously. THose go away magically on their own.
If you're feeling impatient, you could try to sign out of the App store from your Apple ID then sign back in. Not sure that's really helping anyone, but it may.
