HELP my husband has killed my iPhone.

My husband decided to update my iphone 3G this morning and killed it.  It will not turn on.  He has had it on the charger for a few hours and it is very, very hot.  After reading some posts, I tried to go down the itunes recovery track but I can't get itunes to see the phone.  I would love a magic button to fix everything.  Can anyone help please?

Try holding both the home button and the power button for about 15-20 seconds and the apple logo should appear.
If it doesn't bring it into and Apple store for evaluation.
Good Luck.

  • Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

    Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

  • Hi guys, My husband has lost his iPhone, is there anyway you can track where it might be

    Hi guys, My husband has lost his iPhone, is there anyway you can track where it might be

    You are not addressing Apple here, this is a user to user support forum.
    You can track the iPhone from another IOS device or computer only if Find My iPhone was activated on the lost iPhone.

  • New iphone OS has killed my iphone!

    I have just tried downloading the new OS for the iphone, I have an iphone 4. Once it finished downloading and installing onto the phone it said an error had occurred and it has erased my iphone!
    HELP!

    Success! For me anyway. Tried tinkering with system operating system as explained on the website - nothing. Left phone plugged in and updated tunes. SOMEHOW the phone was reconised mid process as being in recovery and the option was given to restore. option taken. Phone currently restored and syncing. three or so hour later -i've nearly got my phone back. fingers crossed for the last bit.

  • IOS 7 has killed my Iphone 5

    Hi,
    To say that I am annoyed is an understatement. I installed IOS 7 on Wednesday evening and was quite pleased with the new look and features etc.
    I charged my phone as normal over night and carried on with my day as normal yesterday. By 12 o'clock I had 48% of battery without my phone being used at all! Got home from
    Work and looked online to see how I could improve the battery life and switched off pretty much everything that I can to stop things always running in the background. Charged my phone last night again as normal for today. I got up at 9 this morning and again I haven't  used my phone. It's now 12:32 and my battery is at 65% without being used and with the brightness set just under half way!!! This is a joke. My phone has now become useless and I am on the super red contract paying €75 a month. I am so upset. My phone was fine before this upgrade. I am in serious need of some help. I've only been with vodafone for 5 months and I'm really not happy at the thought of continuing to pay €75 a month for another year and a half with this issue. 

    It might be an idea to do a reset on your phone close all apps and hold the home and power button untill the apple symbol appears you wont loose any data. Also power cyle the phone down to when it shuts off and charge over night if you can. If not you could try a reinstall via iTunes of set the phone up as new but you will have to set it all up manually. My iPhone 5 was charged last night to 100% and 6 hours later it was still at 100% it uses battery faster when in use but standbye time is still good, right now I have 41 minues of useage 18 hours standbye and i'm, on 93% and thats with wifi on all the time and taking some pics this morning.

  • Help. new ios7 has made my iphone 4 a slug.Intermittent text and call usage, can't hang up from calls, dead screen, etc.  Mistake to upgrade.

    Ever since I upgraded my iphone 4 to the new ios7, I have intermittent use of my texts...cannot send or receive.  I cannot hang up phone calls...the screen is black and I don't have an END button.  I have deleted nearly everything fome my phone, about 8 gb free at the moment on a 16 gb phone. Can anything be done.  I should have never done the upgrade and now I can't go back.  Help.

    Tried this about 20 times already. Can send about two-three texts and then can't receive or send. Even tried a reset to factory...still crap.

  • Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

    Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
    Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

    Hey Fagen!
    You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • HT4913 I have recently purchased a new iPhone, but my husband has the iTunes account on his email. We want to set up separate accounts however we want to share all of our music from iTunes. Is there a way to only share music only (not contacts, apps, etc)

  • I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has the iPhone 4 , both phones with updated current . We added iMessage to them at first it was great, now I don't get half the texts my husbands send and when I send him a text message it will come up from my email???

    I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message  or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal.  Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
    I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • My husband has an iPhone.  I have iPad.  Can we have separate iTunes accounts on a PC?

    My husband has iPhone and an iTunes account.  I have iPad and also though I set up a separate iTunes account; however, my account never shows on our PC.  Is it possible to have 2 separate iTunes accounts on one PC?  Should we share an account?  Thanks

    Every iPod, iPhone, or iOS device synced with the same iTunes library on one computer has its own sync preferences with iTunes. I sync a business iPhone 5, a personal iPhone 5S, and a personal iPad with iTunes on the same computer and each device has different apps and music.

    No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

  • HT1831 My husband has synced his phone to my itunes account and I have lost all of my music.  However, all of my music is still on my Ipod touch and I would like to sync the musis FROM my Ipod touch to my computer and then to my phone.  Please help.

    My husband has synced his new iphone to my itunes account and consequently I've lost all of my itunes music files.  However I have them all on my ipod touch and would like to know how I can sync the music library from my ipod touch to my computer and thus back on my iphone.

    For other music you need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
