Brand new iPhone 4 will not turn on...

I decided to get rid of my Tilt and go to an iPhone 4. Everthing was great for two days. I love the phone. However, I got off of a call and put the phone down. Picked it up about 20 mins later and it will not turn on. The phone has not been damaged in any way water or otherwise.
Thinking the phone is turned off,I have tried holding down the home button and the off button on the upper right hand side of the phone.
I am new to apple products. Is the phone simply turned off and I just don't know how to turn it on or is it broken?
If it is broken, I'm not that concerned because I know that the Apple store where I bought will replace it. I just don't want to drive out there and find out I just have the phone turned off.
Thanks...

I tried the charger for about 15 mins before I had to go and the phone would still not power on.
I held the two buttons down and the Apple symbol did come on and the phone is now on and apparently working. It showed the battery empty. The weird thing is that when I got off the call before the phone quit working, the battery meter said over 50%. I only have a couple of apps on the phone besides what it came with. Incidentally, I am still running 4.01. I haven't had time to upgrade.
Would it be normal for the battery to just drop to zero like that?
How often should I reset my iPhone by holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons.
Thanks for your help....

Brand new iPhone 5s will not turn on

I purchased a brand new iPhone 5s for my daughter and when we went to turn it on this morning, it would not turn on. I charged the phone, in case that was the issue but still nothing but a black screen. I connected to itunes and tried to restore the iPhone features, it recognized that it was an iphone but gave me an error 40 and the apple logo and progress bar was only visible. Once I diconnected from itunes, the screen went blank again. I also made sure that our iMac updates were completely up to date and that there were no security settings blocking its use, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

Brand new iPhone 6 will not turn on

Just out of the box, turned it on, set it up on wifi successfully, then plugged it in overnight. This morning it will not respond at all, does not power up. I am currently in Italy (it is an unlocked phone ordered from Apple US), so I cannot just head for the nearest Apple Store with it.

Hi, Donusko.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this issue.

Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

My new iPhone 5s will not turn on after inserting the SIM card. Help?

I bought my new iPhone 5s from US Cellular and attached it said to insert the SIM card before activation. So I shut the phone off, insert he the SIM, and now it wont turn on. Any help? I have to activate it today and don't want anything to delay it.

Hi connorfromgrinnell,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it has to be frustrating wanting to use your iPhone but cannot turn it on. In this situation I would recommend the steps listed in the attached article.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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.
Have a great day,
Joe

Brand new 13" MBP will not turn on. Period.

I bought my 2011 13" MBP last Tuesday and now it will not turn on at all. It had 33 mins left on battery time and I plugged the power adapter in to charge and nothing happened. The light on the adapter didn't turn on nor did the computer respond to the adapter being plugged in. I plugged it into other working outlets and nothing.
I'm starting to believe its a hardware issure. As I've only had the MBP for a week and it actually shut off on me and rebooted on three different ocassions. as well as a couple of times I closed and reopened the the laptop and it took a while for the screen to turn on, once after a manual restart.
I just talked to apple support and they talked me through rebooting the battery, through controlshift+altpower. and again nothing. granted the computer had a half hour of power left, but it seems to be dead to me. a paperweight.
help!

If you have only had the computer for a week then just take it back where ever you bought the computer and return it for a new one. simple enough.

Brand new iPhone 4s; will not discover GoGroove Flexsmart x2

Just pulled my new iPhone 4s out of the box, attempted to pair it with my Flexsmart x2. No dice. The iPhone will discover other devices, but not the X2, and the X2 discovered my iPhone 3GS just fine 10 minutes prior. The X2 pairs with other devices successfully, so does the iPhone. Running iOS 7.1 (11D167) and running firmware 5.2.00
Yes, I have turned everything off and back on again.
Yes, I have updated to latest iOS.
Yes, I have tried turning Siri off, turning cellular off, etc.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Don't bother with imanog's suggestion if you have a top-loading washer.
Jeez, it's like Apple doesn't even care about anyone who uses a washing machine more than two years old.
Just because you use front-loaders doesn't mean everyone does. It's like they're deliberately trying to spite a large number of users, just because our machines aren't the newest and most efficient!
And before you ask, don't even get me started on the dirty dishes piling up in my sink. Come on, Apple!!

Brand New Iphone 5 will not power on

Activating my new phone and it will not power on. called the service provider for customer support and they said to charge for a few hours. I can not see where on the phone it indicates its charging as there seems to be nothing lit up. I have never had an Iphone so i'm pretty lost here. My Droid Bionic has a flashing indicator so even when totally dead it will flash when plugged in. Any help would be great!

Plug the phone back into the wall charger wait 5 minutes and then hit the sleep button on top of the iphone. IF that doesn't power it up then hold down the sleep/home button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Where exactly did you buy this iphone 5 from?

Check the switch above the volume buttons, red is silent mode, if it isn't red you should hear it ring.

Brand new iPod touch will not turn on. Goes straight to dead battery screen.

Hello.
I recently purchased a refurbished iPod touch to develop apps on. I have had the iPod touch for about a week and last night the iPod suddenly shut off in the middle of use. The battery was low so I figured it was simply a dead battery and I went to plug it into the charger. This morning, I tried to turn it back on after about 10 hours of charging and I got the same dead battery plug in charger screen. I then swichted it to a usb slot on my macbook and left it to charge all day for about 9 hours. Again, I turned it on and nothing, just a dead battery screen. Both usb slots on my computer are working completely fine for my other devicesbut not this. I have also tried plugging it into the wall, but I get the same results. One other possibility is that I have the iOS 8 Beta on my phone currently and I have experienced some issues with that, but not enough to brick my device...or at least I thought. I have only had this device for a few days and so far I am very disappointed that this has happened already. If anyone can help me out without having to go to an Apple store for service that would be great!
Thanks

So did you iPod 5th gen worked again? I had similar experience. This is my own iPod (not refurbished), so I know it was
in great condition (I rarely used it but only for dev). I installed iOS8 Beta, and one morning, the screen won't turn on.
I plugged in power and nothing happened. After a few min, I heard that characteristic "power beep" and thankfully,
it came back to live. What I noticed is that I have > 90% power. So whatever happened, it isnt because it's low in
battery.
I have a suspicion it is entirely due to iOS 8 beta. Such a thing never happened to my iPod till the day I installed it.
My theory is that it is doing something busy, or there's a bug in the "waking" mechanism, and become extremely
sluggish to any external input, until it is done with whatever mysterious things it was doing. I am now putting it
in air plane mode whenever i don't need it, and also turn off icloud back up. Hopefully, I don't see this anymore.

Brand new Iphone 4S will not make any sound unless head phones or dock is used.

I have tried multiple resets, checked all the settings and the slider switch on the side. I didn't notice there was no sound until I got home from the store with it.
Any ideas or do I just new to return it?

Contact are designed to be synced to a supported app on the computer or a cloud service.
All media should be in iTunes on the computer the device is synced with.
Had you not synced the previous phone with iTunes prior to taking it to Apple?

Brand new iPhone 4S will not synch with iTunes

Just opened the box would not see the phone. I had taken it to AT&T to get it activated. All well. Works fine and sound great. Can't wait to get it all set up.
Trying to synch with iTunes would not see the phone. Since I still have the old phone I hooked it up too. It would not recognize that one either. So....
I decided to look on line. Seems like other folks are also seeing this issue. Some are deleting iTunes and the accessory files and the reinstalling. This seems to work for most folks that I read about. So I tried it. Cant get iTunes deleted. iTunes helper is "being used". I've turned it off in the system preferences and can't find any file anywhere. I pretty much have to continue down this path now.
So I suspect if I can get this deleted and then reinstall I should be in pretty good shape.
Please help me find what ever is preventing me from completing the deletion.
Thanks,
Tim

If you are using Windows, open a Command window with Administrator privilege and type the following:
netsh winsock reset
Then reboot and try it again. If you have a Mac or the above doesn't solve it you have a corrupt backup; delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab.

Brand new iPhone 4S will not do my laundry

I am running Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5 on my iPhone but I cannot get Siri to do my laundry nor will my iPhone do it manually.
Should I wait for a fix from Apple or just do it myself?

Brand new iPhone 6 will not vibrate?

Before replying, i have checked to make sure all settings were correct. They are correct, it is not working. I noticed this after the iOS8.0.2 update. Anyone else with this issue?

My 6 plus stopped vibrating. I noticed it after the update to 8.1. But can't be sure it didn't happen before that. I'm returning mine.
