        Let's ensure we get this new device up and running, 123Vika. I know the importance of having a functional device. I have some great news you can activate the device directly from My Verizon. Take a look; http://vz.to/1gdvahs

  • My iPhone vibrated for about 3 minutes and died. I cant restart it because my lock button doesn't work. what do i do?

    My iPhone vibrated for 3 minutes and died. The screen was black but the phone was still vibrating. I searched what to do but everything said to reset it. But one day my power button got stiff and doesn't work. I tried to plug it into iTunes but it was not recognized. What am I supposed to do?

    let it charge for 60 minutes, see if it awakes.
    Plug it to itunes , awake or not and hold both buttons for a couple of seconds

  • My Itunes has my phone on recovery mode! And my lock button doesn't work. I don't want to restore my phone!

    I was trying to upload some music to my phone, then my Itunes told me that my phone is on recovery mode! What does recovery mode even mean? It says it will check for an update again in a couple days? An update for what?
    The only option it is giving me is to restore my entire phone? I can't though... I have too much numbers, and important stuff on my phone for it to be restored!
    I really need to get my music on my phone soon, so if any one can help me that would be great! I really don't need anyone to be rude to me, I just don't know what I did wrong?
    Thank you!

    hold the home and power button together till a itunes,arrow and cable wire logo appear on the screen, now your computer will check for updates if any on your phone and will download the necessary updates and your phone might get restored . please let me know if that helps

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.

  • How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

    I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
    I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
    Please help me.

    My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
    You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
    There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

  • My mini Ipad says I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi.  The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!!

    My mini Ipad says:   I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi. 
    The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!!  I have it pluggled into my computer but apparently it isn't backing up since nothing has changed.  it is unuseable!

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Ipad wont reboot & my sleep or lock button doesn't work??

    I updated ios 7 on my ipad just yesterday. After a while I used it, then my ipad kept popping out shut down mode, and lock the screen randomly.
    I tried to reboot it, my screen kept locking randomly. I tried to reboot it for three times, and for the third time, my ipad wouldn't boot up.
    I connected my ipad to itunes and tried to restore my ipad.
    The screen now has quitted to lock randomly. But I found out that my lock button doesn't work anymore. And the next thing I did was to reboot my ipad by pressing the sleep/lock and home button at the same time, hoping that my lock button would work again, and suddenly my ipad showed apple logo frequently without showing progress bar. And the last thing I do now is to connect my device to itunes, and it is now back on. But the lock/sleep button still not working. And I think that if I reboot my ipad again, it will give me the same problem as it wont reboot itself unless i connect it to itunes.
    Please help me regarding this troubleshooting... My ipad was perfectly fine. Thanks in advance!

    For the past month or so my lock button hasn't been working. It takes three or more tries to get it to work and sometimes I just can't even use it. 
    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • The lock button doesn't work

    I bought my iphone 5 for just a few months. But the lock button doesn't work these days.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using this program:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Then restore to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem you have a hardware problem.

  • Do I need insurance to get a new iPhone if my lock button doesn't work?

    I have an iPhone 4 and my lock button doesn't work anymore. I've asked around and some of my friends think it's a malfunction in the spring, I was wondering if I could get a new phone since it's a malfunction and that it's not my fault.

    Hi
    If it's within the first year's warranty or within the extended applecare warranty period it will be repaired free of charge provided the fault does not contravene the conditions of the warranty.
    If it's out of warranty you can pay for an out-of-warranty repair.
    Either way you should take it to either your service provider or your nearest apple store.
    HTH?

  • My lock button doesn't work. What can I do about it?

    I got my iPhone 4 refurbished, and the lock button doesn't work. It turns the screen on, but not off, and it doesn't work to take screen shots.

    More than likely a hardware problem.
