After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available
My Iphone 4s shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?
On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself and doesn't turn on
I have an iPhone 4, today randomly it turned off for 2 hours, when I realized I tried to turn it on but nothing worked until I restarted it. It can't be the batter because it had 85%. Any idea for my situation??? I bought it in June.
Hello there gilcelis99.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Iphone 4S shut down by itself and will not turn on.
I was using my phone in the car on Sunday and it was working perfectly fine, got home and placed it on the table. Went away for 10-15 mintues and I had come back to find it was off which I thought odd as the battery was almost fully charged. I attempted to wake it using the sleep wake button - nothing. I assumed it had gone flat for some reason so I put it on charge, an hour later still nothing, plugged it into the computer - nothing. Tried to hold down the sleep/wake + home button for 30-45 seconds - NOTHING Itunes wouldnt recognized it either it has been off since Sunday afternoon and hasn't turned back on at all - no heat either. It is still under warranty so I am hoping I'll get a replacement when I send it to apple it's about 10 months old + water indicators have not been set off.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated I think I have tried almost everything to try to get it working.See this Discussion

Eep! shut down by itself and won't turn back on.
i just tried to wake my computer, but when i pressed the space bar it turned off immediatly. now when i try to turn it on nothing happens. no lights. no noise. there is definatly power coming from the outlet and power strip. i dont know what else to do.
help me, please.This was in the tutorial;
-I found this on a Mac site. Sometimes computers lose their mind. Don't ask me why or how it happens but it does. Sometimes you simply have to totally discharge the computer. One thing I have learned about the Blue and white and the Gray G4 Macs is that sometimes pushing the PMU is not enough. If your machine is dead, then try the following.
* Unplug the unit.
* Remove the battery
* Push the PMU switch (count to 5 slow)
* Push the start button on the front of the Mac (count to 5 slow)
* Let the unit sit for 15-30 minutes
* Replace the battery
* Plug it back in, and push the start button
If it doesn't work I usually repeat the steps above, pull the RAM, and let it sit longer. If it doesn't work after this, it is take it to the shop time.
Cheers!

My iPhone 5 shut down by itself and can't be turned on.. help?
I woke up this morning and I couldn't turn on my iPhone. I've tried charging it, just in case if it runs out of battery, but still it can't be turned on. My lock button on top is slightly broken too...
Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo You may need to do this more than once If your power button is broken Take iPhone to Apple Store they may exchange iPhone but you will need to pay part of cost. Bsydd uk

IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?
I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?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.

i have restored my iphone 3gs and put my sim card in it but it will no longer activate. my power button is broken so i cannot turn it off. what can i do to fix this??
Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?
I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

I have updated my iMac to lion so I can use iCloud to share contacts and calendar between iPhone 4s and iPads 1. Somehow it seems to have worked although still not sure how to move stuff in and out of iCloud. iTunes is telling me to update the software on the phone and iPad. When I try to do this it just gets stuck with a box saying connecting to software update server. This has never happened before. I cannot update or restore either the phone or the iPad in iTunes although I have synced the info. What should I do?
Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed. -
A update(6.1.5) was available for my ipod 4 and an error occurred. Itunes is telling me to restore my ipod, but i know that if i restore my ipod everything will be erased. But will i have the opinion to get everything back after i restore my ipod? I dont have any music, but i have about 14000 photos. And none of my photos are saved to my laptop. Help Please!
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
