HT201444 iphone4 wont charge or power up or turn on.

My iphone4 wont charge and wont turn on...Ive tried different chargers and still the same result.

Could be a battery problem or some other hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Can't get iphone4 to charge or power up

Can't get iphone4 to charge or power up

What kind of solution are you looking for alexandrescotti? other than the obvious fact that you dropped it and it's not working? There is no solution for hardware problems, only going and getting them fixed. If you dropped the phone and it stops functioning correctly after versus it stops functioning correctly from nothing, it's a little obvious as to why.
If you didn't drop your phone and it's not working then go to an Apple store and have them take a look at it. If you dropped your phone and it's not working you can try and bring it back to get fixed, but if it's showing signs of physical damage they most likely aren't going to fix it, but you can give it a try anyways.

Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

Lather-rinse-repeat.

Froze upgrading ios 6 on connect to itunes screen not recognized by itunes and wont charge no power with usb

The guy at the Apple store said "Now thats a Brick" "I've never seen or heard of one this bad!"
I bought the phone with little to no info on it. I was told that it froze after several failed attempts at loading IOS 6.
Now... It will only turn on if plugged into wall, it will show black, then apple, then "connect to itunes" screen and thats it. As soon as I unplug, it dies. If I try power off, it turns back on and freezes in same place. Reset, same. And unabale to Factory restore cuz I cant unplug from wall. Im asuming its in dfu, nothing works.
When connected to USB,no power, no response from pc (win xp) or Itunes. Although... I swear I heard pc beap once as though it "found new hardware" but on inspection, Nothing.
My theories: 1) Battery is hooped. ( but I was told it worked fine a month ago) The longest I have had it charging is 4hrs and i died as soon as removed.
                    2) VCC conductor. Would explain USB issue.
                    3) The phone was "jailbroke" and IOS6 did not like that. Isnt there programs to reverse this?
                    4) IOS6 interupted, then phone got factory restored. Is it possible there is No "OS" on it?
I never touched an Iphone untill 2 days ago, and I have read and tried every troubshooting solution I could find. If I can fix this I'll be an expert!
Any help appreciated.

IPhone4 wont charge after cleaning the charging port!

i recently got a second hand iphone4 and noticed the charger wouldnt go all the way in, so using a needle (gently) and small paintbrush i pulled out heaps of pocket lint from inside! and then it fit perfectly .
however the next morning i woke up and its not charging at all! have i done some damage?!
also as a side note the home button wasnt working and i did the alcohol rubbing trick on it.. im sure this wouldnt impact the charging but thought i should say in case.
thanks!

This may have been a second hand iPhone but it was not in working order when you got it. Best solution would be to try and get your money back.
If you cannot do that, you need to take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians see exactly what is wrong with it. Putting any chemicals at all, alcohol included, on it is not a good idea...rubbing alcohol contains enough water to do damage to the electronics.
If the techs say the unit needs to be replaced, the out of warrranty cost for that is $149 in the US.

Iphone4 wont charge.

When I plug in the apple charger nothing will happen. On occaision if I shake the cord it will charge but then I can't touch it or it stops charging. This is a brand new charger that was working.
This happened with my Iphone 3 also...Any suggestions?

Yep, get the thing replaced under warranty if you still have.

I have an iphone 3gs and it has suddenly switched off, it wont charge and it won't turn back on. HELP!!!!

I have an iphone 3gs and it has suddenly switched off and it won't charge or switch back on HELP!!!!!!!!

Do a reset hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple sign and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. If that doesn't work - do the steps while your phone is plug into your PC.

Ipod wont charge, appear in itunes, or turn on

my husband has just gotten an ipod 5.5 gen. We hooked it up to the computer and synced it. It looked like it was doing fine so we left the house. When we got back it was not apparent in the itunes screen and it wont turn on. It had very low battery life when we plugged it into the computer. I didn't know what happened so I unplugged it, restarted the computer and plugged it back in. There was no difference. I have a nano 3rd gen, I plugged it in to our computer using the same cord and it said connected and appeared in itunes. I tried to restart the 5.5 gen as stated in the manual -switching the on/hold button once then pressing and holding the menu and selected buttons for 6 to 8 sec, but there is no response. I dont know what to do now. please help

It's probably broken from the latest update. If its new then you might be one of the lucky ones. Take it back to the store or call Apple about it.

I have an ipod touch 4th gen. charged twice battery went dead now will not charge or power on. what can I do?

I have had my 4th gen ipod touch for over a yr. But I've only charged it twice now it wont charge or power up. I have had ppl try resetting it. But no change. Is there something I can do to fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Iphone 5 wont charge or turn on help please

my iphone 5 wont charge I tried everything to turn it back on. It was working one minute but then I went to go use it and it wouldn't turn on, 10 hours later and it STILL won't turn on. It was fully charged, but I charged it some more just in case - didn't work. Then, I plugged it into my computer while holding the home button down in order to update/restore it. It updated but never restored, and after that it STILLLLL won't turn on. I then tried holding the home and lock button down together for a few minutes in order to restart it, yet it still won't turn on. It is getting extremely frustrating at this point. I googled any other solutions to this problem, but all of the solutions I've basically already tried, and ended up never working.
Help, please?!

I 'think' my Ipod Touch is in recovery mode and people say to hold the power and home button for 10 sec and i did, but its still not turning back on. Plus its dead and wont charge. PLZ HELP ME!!!!

- If in recovery mode the screen will have an iTunes logo with an USB plug.
- Have you tried connecting it to your computer for a n hw and then see if it appears in iTunes. If it does restore the iPod.
- If screen is blank, try placing he iPod in recovery mode and then restoring. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

TS3274 My iPad wont charge when I connect it to power

My iPad wont charge when I connect it to power. I have restarted it but the problem seems to be that it doesn't recongise the actual charger. Any ideas?

First ensure you are using a 10 watt/2 amp charger if you are not using the one included with the iPad. Then I would try a new sync cable. You can then test the charger by connecting another USB based device such as an iPod or iPhone to it to see if it charges. If the iPad is completely dead it may require some charge time before it will become responsive. If the sync cable and charger work fine with other devices you iPad is probably defective and requires repair.

My fully charged iphone4 is dead. Power and home reset doesn't help.What can I try?

My fully charged iphone4 is dead. Power and home reset doesn't help.What else can I try?

How do you know it's fully charged? Are you sure your adapter is working?
Plug it in to mains power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically turn on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock 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.
If it still doesn't turn on, it's likely a hardware failure.
