  • Iphone 5 overheated battery off won't turn on after charging

    i charged my iphone 5 this morning but it got overheated for the first time and there was a message on the screen saying to wait until it cools down but then the phone was out of battery in few minutes and it doesnt want to turn on i've been charging it for 4 hours and nothing happened there is only the apple icone that appears and nothing more what can I do please?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My iphone froze and now it won't turn on or charge! Help please!

    I downloaded a book app onto my phone, after trying to use it, it froze and the home button wouldn't work, so me being the idiot that I am decided that maybe if I locked it, it would work.. it didn't and so the phone went black, but it would still ring and play music (although I couldn't answer), and then once my music stopped playing, I couldn't turn it back on. Now, my phone has finally died and has been charging for about an hour, via the wall and now via the computer and it still hasn't turned on. Any suggestions?

  • IPhone 4 is dead and won't turn on

    Can anyone help?  iPhone 4 is dead and won't turn on.  It was fully charged when it died.

    Hi
    I have pretty much the same problem. iphone 4, just over a year old ( so no longer under my service providers guarantee apparently !) Was using facebook with full battery and it just went black. I've tried hard-reseting holding the buttons for a full two minutes: nothing. Tried to connect to itunes: not recognised. It has crashed several times recently using facebook but always gone to homepages.
    Can anyone out there help us ?

  • My iphone 5 suddenly died and won't turn back on even after doing the recovery procedure. Even when I put it on charge the apple sign appears for 5-7 seconds and even after that it won't turn on. Help?!?!

  • Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all.  Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color.  Help?

    No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

  • My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!!

    My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!! I have had it on charge all day and have tried plugging it in to my computer to sync.

    Restore your software using iTunes.
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    You should be able to restore your backup file after this procedure. If the problem comes back, you either have corruption in your backup file, or a serious hardware problem that should be looked at by a tech at the Genius Bar (make an appointment first).

  • HT4061 We just updated our mom's iPhone 4, and now it won't turn on.  When it does, it says "iTunes" and wants me to connect to it.  Nothing I do makes it go away, and I can't get it to turn on.  Help!

    I just updated my mom's Iphone 4, and now it won't turn on.  When it does, there is a "itunes" icon, with the cord picture, which is asking me to connect to Itunes, I believe.  Can't get past this screen to even turn it on.  What do I do without having to restore her entire phone, which I have no idea how to do that?

    You need to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.

  • TS1741 Remote app on my iOS devices control my apple tv, but won't turn my newest gen apple tv on when i open the app.

    Hello CournteyGould3,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I found an article with steps you can take when your remote app can't connect to the Apple TV.  I recommend following the steps in the article below (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

  • I dropped my iPhone 4S, and now it won't turn on...

    I just got it, and I dropped it, and now it won't turn on. I usually always have cases on my phones, but I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. And just my luck, I dropped it.
    I tried plugging it in to my computer, and it just makes the sync noise repeatedly. But won't turn on. Is this fixable? I really can't afford to buy a new one at $600. this close to Christmas. Please help me!

    Hmm. That helps. But I just got it through my service provider, so its only a week old. Lets hope its less then the $200!
    Thanks!

  • My baby bit down on my iphone 4. It now won't turn on. There is no visible damage. It won't trigger itunes or restore with the usual hold/home technique. Any ideas?

    My baby bit down on my iphone 4. It now won't turn on. I tried charging it, using the hold/home technique, and plugging into itunes. itunes won't recognise it and nothing is working. Any ideas?

    Try this:
    Your phone is off...correct?
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you(hopefully) see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button.
    If that doesn't work...it's a trip to the Apple store. An out of warranty replacement is US $149 if a hardware issue.

  • My iphone 5 won't turn on or charge

    My Iphone 5 won't turn on or charge. I've tried 3 different chargers, a reset but still nothing. Any ideas or tips?

    Hi there Betty Boop 64,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

    My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

    Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
    Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

  • Iphone 4s is frozen and won't turn off.  How do I turn it off if the button at the top doesn't work?

    My iphone 4S is frozen and won't turn off.  Is there another way to reboot or turn off the phone besides the button at the top?

    Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button (I know you think it's broken, but try) and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
