I phone 5 off and wont turn back on

my battery started draining really fast so i drained it all the way. now the phone won't charge just flashes the logo, it won't take the new software in recovery. the itunes logo goes away part way through the process and flashes the apple logo again any ideas? ive held the buttons in a bunch of combos too...

Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
5. You installed a beta version of iOS 7 and you are not a developer with the tools to manage it. If this is the case you are pretty much out of luck, and next time don't install software illegally.
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

    my iPhone4 shut off and won't turn back on...what do i do?

    It could just be the power. Apple says you should completely drain the battery and completely recharge it at least once a month. When completely drained, as they say, it takes a bit after being plugged in again for the iPhone to start responding again.

  • Phone Shut Off And Wont Turn Back On

    topic says it all fellow iphone users. My phone is 3gs 16gb 4.1 iOS firmware. If any solutions are given on how to somehow boot my phone back on other than the obvious home and lock for 10 seconds would be greatly appreciated.

    If it doesn't turn on then a reboot is required. If this happens consistently there's something corrupted in the phone's firmware. If it is not jailbroken just update it to the latest version. If it is then your problem is beyond the scope of this forum.

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

        Hello hazelrose,
    What an unfortunate situation! I'm sorry to hear that your current phone has stopped working. Let's see if we can find an option for you. What make & model phone do you have? Do you happen to have the extended warranty or insurance on your device?
    Thank you,

    I had the exact same problem today. Scheduled a Genius Bar appointment but this is bizarre that multiple people are having the same issue at the same time. Spooky, even.

    You can try putting it in bag with rice for about 4 or 5 days and the try to turn it on.  The rice will help the drying of the iPhone.  Do not attempt to turn it until you take it out of the rice.
    If it does not work after the rice, then you know you have to replace the iPhone.  This is very likely so after 30 seconds in a hot tub, but do give the rice a try.  If you can get a hold of some silica crystals, a better drying agent than rice, that would be good too.

  • Iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on.Please HELP!!

    iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on. It's battery was at 98-100% and was plugged into my computer via charging cable and was charging fine. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple different times while trying to turn it on and it wont even show a charging sign. It's blacked out I can't do anything. Please help!!

    There is nothing that anyone can do to cause the problem you have except to get the phone wet. If that happened then the phone probably needs to be replaced.
    It will not show anything when you connect to the charger, but still leave it connected for 15 minutes, then hold both buttons.

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

    Part                    $169
    Labor                  $145
    Total                     $314
    Applecare             ($122)
    Difference                $192 in your pocket!

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  If nothing else, work through each of the 5 R's of troubleshooting for your iPod to rule out the possibility of any sort of software error/glitch or data corruption.

    Otherwise, you have a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to either take or send your iPod in for service/replacement either via Apple or a third party service.

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":

    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:

    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.
