HT4623 my iphone is shut off automatic and not connecting to computer

hello

I am having the same problem! I have an iPhone 4S, and last night before I went to bed I tried to update to IOS 6.1. It was taking a while, I must've fallen asleep while waiting for it to update. I woke up this morning and my phone alarm had not gone off. I looked at my phone screen and it appeared to be off. I held down the "Hold" button, thinking it had turned itself off, and it displayed the Apple logo and then the "Plug into iTunes" screen. I plugged it into my computer, and iTunes said I needed to restore it. I have tried several times, and it won't work. It will go through the process (it takes about 15 minutes), and then as it is finishing, a window will pop-up saying "the iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored". I am worried because it won't restore, and also because my iPhone isn't named "iPhone". It is named something else. Could my iPhone be damaged from the IOS 6.1 update? It was working perfectly normally last night, I have not dropped it or gotten it wet. I am updated to the most recent iTunes update, and Apple's Troubleshooting Tips are not helping at all. Anyone have any ideas?

My iphone 4s shuts off automatically, and i can't turn it on with just the power button i need to do the "reset" all the time. it's been happening since sunday and today is already tuesday. what is happening?

OS - 6.1.3
After it turns off it gets put into " recovery mode". and even if i do the "restart", i have to do it several times before the phone actually turns on. phone is 1 year and 5 mos old. already tried to restore it but it just keeps on shutting down. can anybody help?

Hi, thank you very much for your reply. No my phone was never been jailbreak-ed. Never been dropped in water or in any wet surface. Dropped on the floor while texting yes, but it was just a one time incident, last year august i can clearly remember, but after that no more (phone still works fine even after.) restored the phone again earlier, but problem still occured. Will try to go to Apple also to ask and have it checked. Just worried because my phone is already out of warranty. Will keep you posted. Again, thanks. If you have any more advice just let me know. It would mean a lot.
Cheers,

5c shut off automatically and wont turn back on

My iPhone 5c shut off automatically and wont turn back on. I tried to turn it back on and it didn't work, so then, I went to plug it into the charger. It didn't start up or show the apple logo, it just vibrated every five seconds. So after awhile I went on to iTunes and tried to see if I could reset the factory settings, after it attempted to download it said that I needed to type in my password on my phone, but how was I suppose to do that if I can't turn my phone on in the first place??? (By the way, I accidentally dropped it, about five inches off of the ground, about an hour prior to this happening. so I don't know if dropping it had anything to do with it, because it seemed fine after I picked it up.) Help. Really, really, REALLY need it. thanks.

If a SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

It was a very bad idea to post your email address where millions of people will see it. Expect your spam to increase exponentially, as well as the phishing attempts. It would probably be a good idea to change your password to a really strong one, and, as you have gmail, look into Google's two factor authentication.
For your problem, see: What to do if your iPhone will not turn on

My iphone randomly shut off today and wont turn back on, what do i do? it has been charging for 2 hours now.

Try a reset ..
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My iphone 4 shut itself down and not turn on back

My iphone 4 shut itself down and not turn on back

I have been having the same trouble with my iPhone 4 freezing up more and more often and the only way to bring it back to life was to do a reset. Finally made an appointment at my local Genius Bar and, even though they couldn't reproduce the fault at the time (of course!), they swapped it out for a brand new phone which has been fine since.
Excellent customer service - just reminded me why I switched to Apple in the first place
Reading other threads, it sounds like this is more of a hardware problem with the home button not being able to 'wake' the phone up when its locked.

Last Wednesday my iPhone 4 shut down automatically and it wouldn't let me reboot for about a half an hour. It finally rebooted and then it started with the batterty drainage and no service, going in and out of service. What's wrong?

Hi everyone... Last Wednesday my iPhone 4 shut down automatically... I had battery. It took about a half an hour to reboot it. After that I started having trouble with going in and out of service and battery drainage. I do have that update 5 ios... or whatever its called... but I did that about 2-3 months ago and had no problems. I called Apple and they wouldn't do a **** thing for me. I called AT&T and they reset the network... didn't work. I did a hard shut down and didn't work. Now today, every call I had was dropped. So of course this morning when I woke up at like 8:30 am by 10:30 am my battery went from 100% to 35%. ***. Can someone help me???

New iPhone 5s shut off unexpected and won't turn back on

I just received my new 5s. I activated it. Made a phone call. I was downloading my apps, and using them, when the phone shut off unexpected. I tried to turn the phone back on, the apple logo appeared, then it went to the waiting circle for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes the screen had a blue screen for a second, then it went back to the waiting circle, then it turned off. I've tried turning it on a couple of times with the same results. Help!

Hello Keith,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s! I would be concerned too if my iPhone shut off unexpectedly and would not power on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
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 15 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.

LENOVO G400 TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND NOT LOAD BIOS SETUP

i have a lenovo g400, once i turn on it only the lenovo name appears in the screen and then it turn off automatically and then turn on and turn off again and so on... also I was having problem that my Lenovo G400 laptop did not display Press F2 to Enter Setup during the boot process, and because of this, no amount of hammering the F2 button would allow access to the BIOS. I attempted all of the standard fixes, pulled the battery, held power down for 30 seconds, removed the HDD -- nothing would cause this to appear. i dont know whats the problem of my laptop..please help me to fix it..

hi PRAY2431,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try to access the BIOS by pressing the OneKey Recovery button.
- Link to picture
If you manage toget in, try prssing F9 to reload factory defaults then press F10 to save and exit (this should reset the hardware configuration of the machine).
If you still can't get into the BIOS and the machine still turns off after POST (lenovo screen) then there's likely a hardware component that's failing. If you have a spare PC, try to create a Lenovo Bootable USB Diagnostics and boot from it by pressing F12.
Alternatively, you can contact Lenovo (for service) or contact one of the Lenovo Authorized Service centers below

HT4623 My iPhone 4 shut off and will not turn on. My home button does not work. Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4 worked fine last night. When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on. I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work. Any suggestions?

Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Wife's iPhone keeps shutting off randomly and does it even when on calls, restarts and has a dark line in center of the screen then the apple logo. At times it does it several times or won't power up, and the iPhone4 is only five months old. What do we do

Have an iPhone 4 that is now shutting off randomly including during calls. The iPhone is roughly about five months old. When the iPhone shuts down and tries to restart it usually take two or three times before it stays on, but when it does it sometimes has a dark line down the center and shuts off. Not very happy about the iPhone doing this. The store we had purchased the iPhone 4 from suggested that we contact Apple to see about a replacement, or send it away for service. As you can tell we are not happy at this point since the iPhone is crucial part of our day for work and family. What should we do at this point?

Thanks for the suggestions!
Except I tried all those before I even made this topic lol, but thanks!
I Already popped out the Sim Card & let my phone sit without it for a few minutes then put it back in. Sometimes it will work again & it will say it recognizes the SIM Card but more times then not it still says it cant recognize it! So I have to take it out & reinsert it multiple times.
& I have done a complete restore 2 times & a back up restore 3 times. Nothing seems to be working.
I am planning on going to the Apple Store this week, wish me luck!
But keep the suggestions coming if you have any, I'd appreciate it!

IPhone 5s Shuts off/down and won't turn back on?

I just updated the iPhone 5s with the new IOS software that apple just released I belive so this week (IOS 7.1?) and this was just yesterday (March 14, 2014), and just also yesterday I experienced that my iPhone 5s had shut off; which wasn't normal but and 1 hour later it turned back on and everyrthing was okay. Just today (March 15, 2014) in the early morning around 3AM the phone was working just fine and when I was using the phone I still kept it charging, around 10AM the phone had shut off again but the batery had been some where aroung 30% to 50%, I had thought that the phone battery drained out quickly so I go charge it, 30 Min. to 1 hour later I check on the phone to see if it can turn on, and it hadn't.
All I remember is that I hadn't been around water or it hadn't been damage that might have caused the phone to stop working.
it is still (March 15, 2014) 6PM and it is still down and not powering back up!!
I also googled on the software IOS 7.1 to see if it was the Software update that might have caused this.
Please, Please, Please repsond with help to this discussion!!
Could it been the (IOS 7.1) that had caused the iPhone 5s to shut down?

My Iphone just shut off, it was not low in battery at all but its off and won't come back on

Try holding the home button on the front and the power button on the top until you see an Apple logo.

IPhone 4 Shuts Off repeatedly and battery drains after ios7 update

This morning at 5:20 am, my alarm went off on my iphone like normal, I plugged my 100% battery charged iphone out of its charger and within 30 seconds it turned off. I quickly plugged it back in the charger and it dropped to 41%. Then as I had to start my morning and get to work and take the phone again out of its charger, it died again. So I got to work, and I have put my phone to "charge" while plugged to the charger, but as time passes, instead of charging my battery it looses life, then I recieved a notification to update my phone, which I did however this did not help my phone, it still continues to turn off once I plug the phone out of the charger.

Same here. My ipad mini used to last weeks, now I can barely get a full day out of it, after I finally updated to ios7. And yes I disabled every possible battery drainer I could find and rebooted. This is clearly to me a bug for the mini, possibly their code that drains batteries on older devices to force people to buy new hardware is running faster than it used to when it would only kill your battery twice as fast, perhaps something else I would hope, but I'm about to hack my device and return to ios 6 as this is absurd. I can put my ipad down for a few hours and pick it up with a 5% drain or overnight with a 70% drain.

My iPhone 4 shut off randomly and wont turn back on.

Well I was texting on my iPhone 4 and then when I went to look and see if the person had replied my phone was off! I tried holding the on/off button and nothing happened. Why is it doing this?? I have had it for about a month and idk if the color makes a difference but its white and yes I do have a heavy duty case on it. It has not been dropped in forever too. Thanks

I got it to turn on looking at some other posts.. Press the home and wake button at the same time while plugged in the computer for 10 seconds works
