I was updating my iphone 4s and suddenly my  screen switched off how do? i fix the problem i need help with it seriously

I was updating my iphone 4s software then i opened a new application when the screen froze and it went black but everything else is functional, please help me fix this problem.

Hey there xybuk,
It sounds like your screen is black but otherwise indicates that it is on. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

  • I was updating my iphone 3g and suddenly  an error occurs (1015) plz tell me how to solve it

    i was updating my iphone 3g through itunes 11 then then suddenly an error occurs no.(1015) plz tell me guys how to solve this?

    Here is what Apple has to say.
    "Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state."

    This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...

  • How do I fix the problem syncing the iPhone do save my apps again and do not delete them?, How do I fix the problem syncing the iPhone do save my apps again and do not delete them?

    I have a problem! I was using my iPhone without sync. Then I format my pc again and I was syncing with it and I got distracted and clicked on something and after even if a click sync, change anything and applying and erasing the historical syncronization under preferences it doesn't work... On sync it keeps deleting my apps from my iPhone instead saving it! If I change anything and click applying show a message ask if I want to delete those apps which I have on my iPhone then if I click continue it will be deleted it and if a press cancel do not do nothing neither sync.
    I tried to unistall and install more than 2 times and repeat the steps for sync and don't change!
    What I supposed to do? Please need help!
    Thank you!
    My itunes it's the last 10.2.2 and my iPhone 4 is bb 02.10.04 and running at 4.1 which I don't want to update to don't suffer more errors like people said they do.

    Hi,
       This should only occur if this is a NEW computer or your first sync and you have information from another computer.
    Has this iPhone been synced with another computer before?

    If you follow that link your Apps WILL be on your computer and any music you have brought......
    Now, do not worry, even if you do accidentally delete your apps, you can download them again for free with your itunes store account, just keep in mind you will lose any saved data!
    Follow this and hit continue, the only information that could get lost is any content (music, videos etc) synced from ANOTHER computer that WAS NOT brought from your account.
    Hope this helps and makes sense....

  • I was updating my iPhone 4 and my cabel fell out. Now i only get the option to restore my iPhone. Will I loose all my apps, pictures, etc?

    anyone?

    All of your apps, pictures, etc should be on your computer, as you should always make sure that everything has been imported to, synced with your computer before any update.
    You can just sync it all back.

    From backups you made to iCloud and/or iTunes, and items you synced from iTunes originally.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the person who has stolen my macbook logs out of iCloud.
    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

  • I have  a iphone 5 and i can not figure out how to turn on the LED notification light. is this even possable? if not how do i know if i missed a call when i was not there to answer it visualy

    I have  a iphone 5 and i can not figure out how to turn on the LED notification light. is this even possable? if not how do i know if i missed a call when i was not there to answer it visualy

    If you were not there, how would you see the led?
    Anyway missed calls will appear on your Lock screen under the Missed tab.
    Or a small red numbered badge will appear on the Phone App icon when you have missed calls. You can then access the Recents Tab in the Phone App to see whcih calls were missed.
    Missed Calls are shown in red there

  • HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

    during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
