How to restart an iphone that has completely died and can not be recharged

Today for some reason my iphn4S completely died and I can not turn it on or even recharge it. It was not flat so I dont know why it died. I can not even start it through iTunes. Any comment on ways to start it or is it stuffed? It is only 6 months old.

You are both right - I had to plug it in and then by holding both switches for longer than normal - it finally started. I have now rushed to back it up with all my valuable info and am still following up with the tech support as it was really warm and did not have any aplications running, so I doubt that it is going to be reliable from now on - and I can not trust it ....
thanks for your help

    Hi you can take to Apple Store they may Replace with a Refurbished, one but you will need to pay part of cost. Make an Appointment, if you do get Another iphone when you set it up Just use the same Apple, id & password then you will get all your Apps & Data back. Cheers Brian

    My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????

    You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

    Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.

    I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine.  I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one?  Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months. 
    Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well?  It is not saved in the cloud.
    Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

  • Appearance has completely changed and can no longer purchase music

    Hello, I have recently upgraded to the latest version of Itunes and the Itunes store appearance has completely changed and rendered Itunes essentially useless. I only get a white column with a hypertext link that says powersearch and then it asks me to list artist, album, song, etc. If I am lucky enought to find a single that I want, then when I click on it, I literally go nowhere. Is there a preference setting that I am missing? Please help as I cannot purchase any music at all.

    iTunes 9 requires Safari 4.0.5 to access the iTunes Store. If you don't use Safari, it still has to be present for iTunes to use it for store access. If you don't have Safari, that may be your problem. Get it here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • My iphone 4 has turned off and will not turn back it wont chrge and when plugged into the computer it is not recognising it

    can someone tell me how i can get my oiphone 4 to turn back on or has any idea what this problem is

    Hi gillybabe82,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great suggestions and will help you solve the iPhone power issue that you described.
    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 LCIs and 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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps.
    -Jason

  • IPhone 5 storage completely full and can't figure out to fix the problem?

    I got the iPhone 5c in August of last year. Previously, I had owned a flip-phone and only a flip-phone, so you can imagine that it was a big change. Though I know there is so much more that it can do (and so many things I have yet to discover), I mostly appreciated the phone for its photo and Internet capabilities. Only a few weeks after I got the phone, I went to a concert and, as you can imagine, the videos took up a lot of space on my phone. I also have a bad problem with saving screenshots, so I quickly filled up space with pictures. Once I realized it was reaching an overwhelming amount (and space was getting limited), I backed-up my iPhone to iTunes on my computer and deleted around 800 pictures. It barely freed up any space. I did this once or twice until one time I tried backing it up again and it would not let me, saying that there was not enough space to do the back-up. I don't quite know how that works, but after that, I just ignored my problem. Well, then my space was dwindling down close to zero. I deleted most of my apps, though it did not free up much at all because 11.4 GB of my 13.2 GB phone is from Photos/Videos.
    My phone reached 0 bytes available in, I'm guessing, November of last year? To my surprise, I could still use some of the features on my phone. Internet, screenshotting (though I could no longer take pictures), and some of the apps (though they often would not load fully). This didn't last for long. One day, I wasn't able to open hardly any of my apps. Then it transitioned to my Internet closing out of itself every now-and-then. Well, currently (and I've been having these problems consistently for the past month or so), I can not open any apps. If I try to go to a website, it closes out of itself almost every single time. I never know if my texts go through because it never finishes the sending process (sometimes people say they get them, sometimes they don't). I cannot receive texts. I can't even try to delete my photos/videos because when I click "delete", it goes to my Home Screen (again, it closes out of itself) and when I check, the pictures/videos are still there. For the past month or so, the only thing my phone can do is call. Which, you know, defeats the purpose of an iPhone. Basically, I have gotten myself into quite a conundrum.
    Is there a solution to my problem that does not involve restoring it to factory settings?

    Thank you for your reply! I just tried importing my pictures again. iTunes gave me the same message - that the storage was too full. I looked under summary, and I don't quite exactly know what usage numbers you are looking for, but it does say it is over capacity by 190.8 MB. However, when I plugged in my phone to the computer, it started to import pictures automatically into Dropbox. I just recently got Dropbox, so I did not have it the other times I tried to import. I managed to get the pictures onto my computer and, by some miracle, was able to delete a couple hundred from my phone. It also let me delete the long videos on my phone, which I've been trying to do for months. I went to my Storage and it now says I have 6.6 GB free (which was so amazing to see that I had to take a moment). I can take pictures now. I quickly updated a few apps and the space is still good. However, there are some apps that it still will not open (as in I open it up, then one second later it closes out). These seem to be the social media apps-- Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Should I just delete them, then re-download? That will not mess anything up, correct? So far, Safari is working, which is a major relief.
    How would I go about syncing things like contacts?

  • My Iphone 5 has gone blank, I can not see anything. Restore with itunes has not worked either. Can someone please help?

    Hi I recently upgraed to iOS 6.1 on my Iphone 5. After the upgrade, it was all good. Over the weekend I went Austria for Ski. While taking the photos, I simply locked the phone and kept it my pocket as I had to go. After sometime when I opened my phone, I could hardly see anything. I tried to unlock with pin and tried restarting with great difficulty. But nothing worked. Coming back home today, I have tried restore the software and still no luck. I have tried restore almost 5 to 6 times, but the screen is still blank. I dont know if what state it is in and I can not do anything to fix it. I am very annoyed with the support service as they can not be reached on Sunday evening.
    I could manage to book a call tomorrow but I have lot of work over next few days at work. Can someone please help how to fix this issue now? Any suggestions will be much apperciated.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    My 4s iphone has frozen up and it will not turn on or off.  I have deleted the old itunes and reinstalled new itunes.  Then I tried to restore but to no avail.  It just keeps showing itune symbol and the usb plug on the phone.

  • My iphone 4 has frozen. I can not slide to unlock nor shut the phone down. It flashes the apple logo from time to time but will not respond to the touch screen.

    My iphone 4 has frozen while I held the button down to try and access voice command. Now it will not allow me to slide and unlock. Won't respond to the shut down button on top nor any touch screen commands. The apple logo appears from time to time but mostly it shows my wallpaper and the time. Can you help me out ?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and can not find carrier and can not make a call freezed.

    I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 yesterday. Today the device can not find carrier and if finds than it freezes when I tap call. I swictched on and off but no change.

    No.  There is no legit way to go back at all.
    It seems that you had a hacked iphone that was locked back to the rightful carrier when you updated as it should.
