  • IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?

    Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
    I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
    I've had no problems with my new handset to date.

  • Anyone have any idea why there is an "error" when trying to activate iMessage? It randomly turned itself off and wont go back on.

    This just happened yesterday

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Hello I have a iPhone 5S all of a sudden my music that I have purchased only plays on 1 speaker.  I thought it was a bad audio cable so I brought it back to the store.  Only to have the same thing happen again. What is going on?

    I have a iPhone 5s all of a sudden my music on my iPhone would only ply oit of one speaker in the car.  I thought it was the Audio Cable went and brought another Audio Cable and the same thing again.  I than plugged my son phone which is a NOTE 3 into the Audio Cable and it started playing fine.  I purchase all of my music from the Apple Store and one of the reasons is because I enjoy listening to my phone with my playlist inside my car.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Apple needs to fix this ASAP or refund me my money back for all the songs I purchased.

    If you connect headphones to your 5s do you also hear music on from one side?
    If yes get a light and inspect the headphone jack and clean out any dirt/debris/ etc. you find in there.
    If that does not fix it you will need to get your iPhone replaceed under your warranty.

    Hi Sian.riches,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on as expected. I also know your have done some great troubleshooting already. I would suggest reading over the attached article and trying the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure everything has been done.
    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 LCIsand 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.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • HT1688 My iPhone is all of a sudden not turning on. Plugging it in didn't help. It worked fine this morning but all is black now & unresponsive---confusing

    I misplaced my iPhone this morning at church.  I couldn't find it and a friend with a phone called it to help me and mentioned "tracking it" We were able to hear it ring and found it.  But now it is dark. I cannot turn it on.  I tried plugging it in to my iPhone and nothing happened.  How can I get it turned on again?
    Thanks

    Hello Beth,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. There are a few things that can be done to resolve the phone not being responsive. First restart the phone, the following article will assist with that process.

  • Iphone 4 just turned off and wont come back on

    Was on the phone in my car on the handsfree, then all of a sudden got disconnected. looked at my iphone 4 and it switched off. got home and tried charging it up and nothing happened, then tried plugging it into my pc to do a restore or see if i get any life and nothing !
    got no phone now and because you have to have a micro sim you have to de activate your regular size sim. so now got no sim to put into a normal phone.
    please help someone ! aaaaahhhh !!

    Hey guys,
    I was with my friend who had the same problem with his iPhone 4 today and as I was researching the problem I tried all the tricks and nothing seemed to work.
    Until I came across some info that suggested the problem was with a proximity sensor.
    Basically his phone was on(when someone called it would ring on their end instead of going straight to voicemail), but not respond tto touch or anything.
    So I held the power button and slid my finger across the screen as if to "switch" it off even though the screen was blank and waited before holding the button again to turn it back on.
    Once I did this it booted back up as if nothing happened.
    Hope this is the same problem, good luck.

  • HT1688 my iphone just completey shut off, and wont come back on, even when connected to the charger

    my iphone completely turned off and will not come back on, even when connected to the charger. how can i turn it back on?

    Hello ozzy9294,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • IPhone 4 all of a sudden voice over is on and Enter Passcode does not accept passcode

    When I try typing the passcode, the boxes do not show the bulleted item. I have shutdown the iPhone, and when it restarts it says that voice over is activated, and asks me to enter the passcode. When i attempt to key in the passcode none of the boxes get populated with the bullet.As I type each character for the passcode the voiceover repeates it, then replys with the letters TUV...
    Appreciate your help.

    Be sure you are entering the Correct Passcode...

  • TS3899 email was working then all of a sudden its "checking for updates" and wont update

    My Iphone 4s was working fine and now I can't get the email to update. I have deleted my account and it still isn't working. Everything else internet wise is working, just not the email. Any ideas?

    I can send emails, but when it is "checking for mail" and the circle is moving, it never stops, just keeps searching. I checked my email from my computer and I had 10 new emails, so I know they are waiting for me, I can't even retrieve emails that I have read and are still on my account. It won't bring up the accounts at all

  • My iPhone (3GS) decided to turn itself off and never came back on!!!

    I still didn't do the last update on it yet. I can't remember the last one.
    Anyway, I used a few of my apps this morning, was using the dictionary with my son ...
    I downloaded an app for cursive handwriting. We turned it on and checked it out.
    I guess I set my phone down on the table, continued with our lesson, and next thing I know ...
    Picked up my phone and it was off. Try to turn it on on the button, nothing. Connected to my PC, didn't even acknowledged that there was a "new hardware" connected. Plugged it in the wall charger ... nothing!
    Oh, it has been charging all night, just like every night.
    Any ideas on what this could possibly be?
    Thanks,
    Ana.

    I have been reading further into this wonderful forum and found a few helpful hints.
