I have been charging my iPhone 4 for nearly 17 hours and it has yet to turn on. What should I do?

My iPhone has been acting up ever since I upgraded to the new software.  Normally it will take a bit longer to charge, but I got used to it and was sort of glad that I was not being so dependent on my phone, but 17 hours is just ridiculous.  Funny enough, I heard it go off continuously over night (I want to say aronud 4 am) and then when I woke up to check it, it said the battery was dead again! It was never unplugged, never touched, unless I have a ghost in my house or something.  A hard reset is not working, is my iPhone 4 just completely dead?

I think if it were me, I'd be sure to go through all of the stuff in this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
and if that didn't work, set up a Genius Bar appointment.  Battery replacement for a nominal cost is also a possibility

though I think I'd try the Genius Bar first.

  • I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?

    I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
    If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • I have been charged 3 times for student premium and am still on free.

    I have been charged 3 times for student premium when it says I can't be verified that I am a student even though I manually sent it in 2 hours ago and still haven't gotten anything back from spotify. I've checked email and spam and have emailed them again and hour ago and still nothing but I still lot chanrged...why?

    Hey there , welcome to the community!
    If you contact Spotify through online contact form, they will be able to sort out these multiple charges and see what's going on with the student verification. Once you send in the form, you should receive a reply from them within 24-48 hours. If you need any further help, let me know! :)

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    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 15 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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT201359 What does it mean when a purchase is billed to "store credit"? Is it one of those iTunes gift vouchers? Only reason I ask is because I downloaded Ken Follit's FREE book from the 12 days of Christmas app and seem to have been charged 10.99 for it!

    Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.

  • HT204088 how to report a problem -i have been charged several times for a purchase of single app

    i have been charged several times for purchase a single app!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
