You can try resetting it to see if that turns it on, but if it does not work, the iPhone is probably damaged from the fall and you should take it to an Apple Store so that they can have a look and determine if it is repairable. An out of warranty replacement will cost you money but much less than if you had to buy a new phone.

Somone please give me some feedback!
Sure, they'll replace it the minute you hand over $149 for an out of warranty replacement.

I dropped my iPhone 5s yesterday and then I picked it up but I couldn't unlock it. I have a password but only half of the screen is working I couldn't press anything on the right half. So I turned it of and on but it is still the same. The screen look perfectly fine but I can press the numbers 3 6 9 or cancel
Take it to your closest Apple store and have them look at it.

Can't reset my time capsule using reset button and I don't have the password to get into reset it.
I can't reset my time capsule b/c the reset button broke off when my time capsule fell off my shelf. I can't remember the password to the disk or time capsule to do a manual reset and I can't access the time capsule. Any suggestions around this?
Thanks.Bob's suggestion is the best, as the old passwords should be stored on that computer.
If you need to do it .. the hard way.. just open the TC.
You need a heat gun (hair dryer on hottest setting works fine).. to heat the rubber mat up to very hot.. I usually take 5min or more just heating it, evenly as possible. Lift on one corner and keep heating whilst peeling off the rubber. I use a pair of leather garden gloves as it needs to be so hot you cannot hold it for long.
Really hot the rubber easily peels off with all the glue on the rubber.
Now undo the 10 small philips head screws and carefully lift up the aluminium base plate. There is a fan plugged into the board so don't pull. You can disconnect the plug carefully and lift it completely off.
You can then press the reset switch with a small screwdriver or the like.. careful not to short anything if you use metal.
The plastic lever should still be rolling around inside the TC.. when I look carefully at the plastic, the lever is inserted later.. not part of the one moulding.. there are two plastic stakes, which are heated and bent down like a rivet to hold the lever in place. You may be able to relocated the lever onto the plastic stakes with some glue.. use a good 5min epoxy rather than instant glue.. although on ABS plastic the instant glue works very well. Use the glue under and on top but a tiny amount, otherwise you will simply glue the lever to the body and it will never work again. You might be able to make it stay.. just be very gentle if you ever need to press it again.
You can try a more permanent repair.
Plastic flexing as hinges is not an engineering solution .. but you can get a scrap of metal, thin brass would be ideal... drill a hole in one end and use a small dia screw.. I would tap it and run a screw from the inside, using a short screw so only the end of the screw is visible. Coat the inside with silastic so it cannot short anything. Depends on your handyman type skills I guess.
Strange that it would break.. Must have hit hard!! -
what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and u have no way to get the serial number what do u do
If you eject the SIM card tray the serial number is also there. It's tiny, but there.
When my iPhone won't turn on I first charge it with a known good cable for a few hours. If nothing after that I begin a warranty lookup for repair. -
When I downloaded IOs8.1, it was going well, until it tried to turn back on. My screen went from flashing white with the apple sign to black to a full red screen. It keeps repeating itself and will not turn back on. However, i am able to turn it off, but when i turn it back on it just does the apple sign, black, and red screens again. How can i turn my phone on to work again? Or make the red screen go away.
I had this issue on my iPhone 6. I had to get a new one. There was a hardware error.

I am looking for direction on how to turn "OFF" find my phone. I do not have the phone or serial number.
Remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find,
selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been
erased, click Remove from Account.
You do not need the serial number to do this, but you may
be able to find the serial number here:
iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
Scroll down to the section on getting information from your computer. -
By the way, the phone works perfect, there's no scratches or cracks in the screen. Everything works perfectly.
Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

why?
My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks -
I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes. Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them. How do I get past this to be able to purchase. I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I switched out my old phone for an Iphone 5 that my boss gave me and i'm trying to delete his apple id and program a new one for me. how do i do that?
If we are talking about Activation Lock you will have to have him remove the device from his account at icloud.com

pleas help me out my iphone 5c is only a month old...i shut it off over night and went to turn it back on the next day and it wouldn't turn on or charge or anything.....
Plug it in to wall power. If it doesn't automatically come on within 15 minutes, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.
If it still doesn't turn on, you likely have a hardware problem. -
I started with a Adobe course, with content Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator and Flash. I received my Photoshop material. My trial period expired, and now I would like to subscribe. I don't have the money for the full CC app, but I can pay for Photoshop now. When I'm finished with it, can I then upgrade to full CC, by then I will have the money.?
MonyaHi Monya
I can't see a specific answer to your question in the CC FAQ, but it seems sensible that you could cancel your current plan, and take out a full subscription. If you are tied into a year's single app subscription, then my best guess is that you would need to make the full subscription a year's commitment as well.
Adobe Creative Cloud – FAQ
But since they introduced the bargain priced Photography deal for Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 of $10/month, $50/month for a full subscription feels just a tiny bit steep IMO. It would have been nice if Adobe extended the same good will to pro customers with say, a $40/month deal. -
Hi,
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
Best of luck.
