Cannot restart my Iphone 4

Yesterday i was updating my i Phone 4 to the latest version of the software. However, during the updating process, my iPhone was hang and unable to ON. Please advice what is the problem and how to resolve it?

also, i should mention that the home button on this phone is BROKEN permanently.  hasn't worked in months.  i've been using the floating on-screen home button, but since the screen is unresponsive that does me no good at the moment.  also, although itunes recognizes the phone i cannot restore it because it says i need to change my icloud settings on the phone first before i can.  but again, i cannot access any features of the phone whatsoever.  i just need to turn it off and turn it back on again.  but like i said, with a broken home button that appears to be impossible.  when i hold down the lock/power button for 10 seconds to attempt a restart it does nothing.  i really have no idea what to do.  HELP!

  • My Apple ID cannot restart my iPhone 4S

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S.
    By playing with it, my daughter has zoomed the screen and I couldn't reduce it as I didn't know how to do it at that time.
    After several access attempts with my passcode, my iPhone has blocked. Afterwhat, I've come up to reduce my screen display.
    Somebody help me to erase my iPhone and restart it.
    When restarting, my Apple ID and passcode were asked to me.but all the time used my usual passcode, it is not recognised.
    So, when trying to reset my password, the automatic email sent to my assistance email adress was  never arrived after several attempts.
    I've changed the Apple ID and Password but the last one are required in place of the new one I created.
    How to do in this case.
    Need your help
    Kambos

    You need to use the id that was used in Settings > iCloud on the phone

  • My iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger.  The apple icon keeps flashing

    my iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger.  The apple icon keeps flashing

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

    Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
    This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
    1. The phone charges it's battery
    2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
    In iTunes
    3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
    4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
    I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Hi ralphagir,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

  • Cannot sync my iPhone 4S after I restored my old phone's content

    I purchaced a new (slightly used) iPhone yesterday and I had a back up on my computer from about a month ago. My old iPhone broke so I had to buy a new one. I set it up and restored my old data onto my phone, I have all of the old notes, all of the old pictures but my iPhone will not let me sync my music because "it is not authorized on this computer" which it is. I cannot restore it again, because iTunes "Does not recognize the iPhone" What can I do to fix this?

    I had the same problem, after a long discussion with Apple one of their engineers came up with the bright idea of restoring from the original backup via WiFi rather than connecting to iTunes by USB. This should give you a pretty good idea as to whether the photos are there in your backup file, as for instance it said uploading 22 of 863 photos for me, left it overnight to restore from backup via WiFi, restarted the iPhone in the morning and all of my photos had been restored. I have since backed up all photos to a very helpful Dropbox "Camera Uploads" update.
    To restore from iCloud via WiFi, on your device:
    Open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    Wait for the device to restart, input Time and Date Settings and Connect to WiFi.
    Log in using your Apple ID and select Restore from iCloud Backup. (Ensure it is the iCloud backup with all relevant photos).
    Leave device to Restore overnight and restart in the morning!

  • I cannot get my IPhone 3gs to restore to my last backup?

    I had an issue with IPhone 3gs earlier so I synced and backed-up the phone and then attempted to restore the phone to see if I could eliminate the problem. After the restore and software update, it brought me to the "Set up your IPhone" page and I selected "restore from the last backup on my iphone" then clicked "continue." It started to restore from backup and everything appeared to be running like normal, but when it was finished and my phone restarted, my apps and songs were deleted but my pictures/wallpapers/contacts were still on the phone. In addition, instead of my itunes returning to my Iphone's library, it returned to the "Set up your IPhone" page like the restore never happened. I have tried to restore from backup multiples times after that but I end up with the same result so I cannot access my iphone's library on my itunes to add any of my songs back since the restore didn't bring any of it back. Does anyone know of a way to solve this issue? I've been able to restore my iphone successfully in the past and have never experienced this problem before so I have no idea as to how I can fix it. I hope I have explained it in a way that is easy to understand and I hope someone possibly knows how to help me.
    Thank you.

    Hey saandyy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
