I have an iPhone 5 which has died completely and won't charge.

I have had the phone since January last year. The sleep/power button doesn't work (the worker in the store reckoned I wouldn't be eligable for the replacement service because there a scratch on one corner of the phone). The phone is completely unresponsive even when plugged into the charger. This is the second time this has happened, the first time I took it into the apple store and the guy managed to fix it but a week and a half later and it has died again. Short of taking a hammer to the phone, what other options do I have?

Bring it back to Apple

My iphone 4 has turned off and won't turn back on

My power button also doesn't work so I have no idea how to get it working again!

This happened to me a few times when I first got my iPhone 4S. Both times I just waited it out but after about 24 hours it randomly turned back on. It's annoying, but wait a little bit to see if this happens so you don't have to worry about restoring and losing your stuff. If it does turn back on, try to get it replaced or fixed by Apple before it happens again!

Iphone 5 has shut down and won't start up again

hey,
my iphone 5 was charging while i was sleeping. I wanted to see what time it was but he just does nothing. There us a black screen (no charging icon). My power button is broken so a reset is not possible. If i connect it via itunes on my mac he can't find him. Help me!!!!

Hello esterke,
As I understand it you are not able to turn your phone on, and the power button doesn't work so you cannot turn it on that way. You may be able to get it back on by putting it into Recovery Mode, which only requires the USB connection and a working Home button.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If not your phone may need service:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How do I fix the App Store app in mountain lion which has become corrupted and won't update!

I can no longer access the App Store so cannot update my system. Ant Ideas?

In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

HT201269 My iPad 2 has no sound and won't charge

I haven't been able too charge my iPad for quite some time now it takes weeks too get 18 % charge and sound is in and out mostly out...... Ever since I installed operating system 7what do I do? What happened ? Very upset

Have you tried cleaning the dock connector opening? If you have a soft brush - a toothbrush will work - try cleaning the opening. If there is any debris in there than can cause issues with sound. Some users say to use just a little bit of rubbing alcohol as well to clean the contacts.

My iPhone 3GS has died and won't restore with iTunes

My iPhone 3GS has switched off and won't turn back on. I can't restore it by pushing home button and the on/off button as the on/off button has never worked. I've plugged it into iTunes but with no luck. Any suggestions please?

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

IPhone 4s battery suddenly drained and won't hold a charge

This afternoon the battery on my iPhone 4s suddenly began to show that my battery was drained, then shut off completely and won't charge. I've tried holding down the home button for longer than a minute and I've tried holding down the home button and the power button at the same time but it still won't turn on. I've also tried leaving the phone to charge without touching it. This is my second replacement phone (which means it's my third iPhone 4s) and I only got it in October. It's hard to believe that it's the battery when it's relatively new, but I know that's a possibility. Anyone have any suggestions of what else I should try before I go into the Apple store yet again for a phone issue?

Ok, thanks for that info. Well I know this probably isn't what your going to want to hear, not that it's necassarily bad advice. I would suggest taking your phone into your nearest Apple Store, make an appointment with the Genius Bar first (it will just make things go smoother). The overheating/dying battery thing is a known problem. They'll either send your phone into get fixed, or you'll get a new phone. Just make sure to do a backup (in iTunes) first, as that way you'll have the most recent info to sync to should they replace your phone.
You can also call 1(800)MY-IPHONE. see if they have any ideas, but I think you'll find they'll reccomend the same thing.

IPhone 4S Shut itself off and won't turn on

my iphone 4s has turned off and won't turn on.
it doesn't respond to the power button and won't respond to being plugged in.
the last time I used it was about an hour before I noticed it.
the last thing I did was put one photo on to my photostream.
it had been sitting in an air conditioning room, and on a desk during the whole hour or so I wasn't using it.
anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with it?
i am 100% sure I'll have to take it to a store to figure it out unless it suddenly works.. but any ideas would be helpful....

My 4s did the same thing yesterday. I locked the screen, then about ten minutes later I went to use it and nothing would work. Like the phone was completely dead. I tried everything, plugging it in, reboot, nothing at all worked. Then about five minutes later I hit the lock button again and the apple logo appeared and it started rebooting. Not sure what happened!!

My iphone screen has gone completely blank I have tried holding down both the sleep and home buttons and nothing has happened and I have tried to connect it to my laptop but itunes will not recognise, what can I do ?

have you tried charging the device ?
if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

I have an Iphone which is stuck on the apple sign. Is there a way to fix this? Or will I need to go to the shop?

I have an Iphone which is stuck with the apple icon on the screen. Can this be fixed or do I need to go to the store to get it fixed?
Thanks

When the iPhone only shows the Apple logo and then turns off, it usually indicates an issue with the software that is preventing the phone from completing it's boot sequence. This can be remedied by putting the phone into DFU mode and restoring it. By restoring the phone, the software and firmware will be removed and replaced with a fresh set and the content will be removed from the phone and need to be resynced.
To put the phone into DFU mode:
1. Make sure the phone is connected to the computer
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 8 seconds
3. Let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the home button
4. If you are successful, a dialog box will pop up in iTunes stating that iTunes has detected an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode and the phone's display will remain black.
5. Click OK, then click the restore button in iTunes.
Hopefully after that, the iPhone will be up and running so you can sync your content back.
I hope this helps!

1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

I have an iPhone 5 which has died completely and won't charge.
