If you are not a developer:
You have to restore your phone.
Open iTunes
Plug in your phone
Hold down the home button and power button at the same time
When the screen goes black let go of the power button but not the home button
Restore the iPhone
Wait for about an eternity
Tell god you are sorry you stole from apple in the summer and you will never do it again.

Hello hazelrose,
What an unfortunate situation! I'm sorry to hear that your current phone has stopped working. Let's see if we can find an option for you. What make & model phone do you have? Do you happen to have the extended warranty or insurance on your device?
Thank you,

iPhone Reset

I had this iPhone activated at my AT&T store last week. I have had no problems with it, until tonight. I was using it and then the loading screen with the apple came up and it said activation required. When I try to activate it on the phone it says the servers aren't available, and to use itunes. When I go to iTunes and plug it in, it says the software on my phone has expired and I need to upgrade. It was running iOs 7. When I go in to iTunes, no updated iOs is available and I can not activate it, it shows up with all my apps and music. What do I do?
So I had to manually update form a download on the iOS dev portal.

I used A1429 but apples info link didn't help for me deciding, luckily the wrong download just wouldn't install. -
Box just reset itself, now wont bring up guide, dvr, or info about shows
my hd dvr box just randomly reset itself for no reason, and now it only displays the channel, wont let me bring up a guide, dvr or information about the program, athe channel up and down work, however it wont bring up information about the channels at al, any help on this would be appreciated, i reset the box and router and nothing happened..... ive had nothing but problems with these CROOKS at verizon, cannot wait to leave them
Solved!
Go to Solution.Your box is probably taking new code. Leave it be for 15-20 min. Each time you reset it, you re-start the code download - just making it take that much longer.

You must set the account using a Mac or an iPad/iPhone, it may not be setup using a PC.

HT4993 my phone just went black and wont turn on
My phone was fully charged and then the screen went completely black. I have tried to do the hard reset however that does not work. Any suggestions to fix before I head into the apple store
Hi Rebeccarichmond,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone does not turn on, these steps can help:
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 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.
Best,
Jeremy -
It keeps saying searching for signal too....
According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21
Error 21- These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
The error on the Mac is odd though. 2100 is not in the article. What version of the Mac Operating system are you running? -
i reset my ipod touch 5th generation and i just reset my apple id and password and it wont let me activate my ipod. I need help!!
What happens when you try? Error message?
To activate you have to enter the ID and password last used for Settings>iCloud. In most cases the Apple ID is used for Settings>iCloud but not always.
If problems contact iTunes

is there anything apple could do if i took it to one of their main shops???
Kris (bulzy_23)Sounds like a hardware failure.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced. -
how do i fix my iphone 5 stuck in recovery mode and wont let me restore it just says unknown error 1603 has occured
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection. -

My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?
