    Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603 & 1611 appeared! please help me!!

    You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • Can you turn off iPhone auto-rotate?

    Can you turn off iPhone auto-rotate? I never used my phone sideways at all, and now emails and text messaging keeps rotating side ways at the slight angle my phone goes in. Its been really bothering me ever since updating to the 3.0 OS and I want to downgrade to stop this auto rotation.

    As these two say, you are going to have to try really hard to keep that phone upright.

    I can't turn my iPhone 4 and the Hold button is stuck, any advices? And my iPhone has been in charge for few hours and nothing happens.

    Can you turn in iphones for credit toward other apple products?

    Depending on your country, you might be able to get an Apple Store gift card for its value. You can always sell it to someone other than Apple.

  • If I get a 3GS, can I turn my iPhone into an iPod Touch?

    I bought the original iPhone when it came out and I want to buy a 3GS when they are available. When I do, I'd like to use my old iPhone to run Remote to control iTunes running on my music server. Can I turn off the phone part of the iPhone but still have Wifi and run apps like Remote?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can use the original iPhone without a service plan.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406 provides more details.
    Just leave the SIM that was last used with in the iPhone in it, so you can easily update and restore the iPhone.

  • Can you turn an iPhone into an iPod touch when no longer used as a phone?

    Can anyone help with turning an iPhone that is no longer in use into an iPod touch?

    If it is your old one and is already activated in your iTunes software, Just keep using it.  You don't need to do anything to it.  Without an cellular service account linked to it anymore, it is now, effectively, an iPod touch (although if you leave the SIM card in it, it could still be used for emergency calls, at least in the USA).
    If this is one that you do not have, or never had, activated in iTunes then follow the instructions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3406 to activate it in iTunes so you can still sync it and so forth.

  • I can't turn my Iphone 4 off. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

    I can't turn my Iphone4 off. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks.

    To answer the question you asked, yes, I'm sure at least 1 of 120 million iPhone users has had this problem. to answer the question you should have asked, hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds, until an Apple logo appears.

  • I can't turn my iPhone on or off

    I tried to turn my iPhone off but it dosen't work it start to turn it off but it get suck some were in the middle so the only thing i've seen for the last 3 hours is this circul that's going arouned and arouned...

    Try a reset 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.
    If that doesn't work, try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Can't turn on iphone

    can't turn on iphone4

    Ok.
    Well what have you tried?
    Do you know if it is charged?
    Have you tried to ensure it is charged with the wall charger not the USB to computer way?
    If so, did you wait a bit incase it was fully dead as it takes some time before it gets enough charge to allow you to turn on?
