I went for a run in the rain with my iphone4 in a case meant for running (plastic front made of wet suit material) The phone was damp but not submerged. I noticed during the run that my phone had turned off and will not turn back on. Help! have tried rice
If I tried to plug my damp phone in to charge and it won't turn on, have I destroyed it. Is there a chance that it can work again?
I've seen basic phones go through the washer and dryer and work fine. I've seen phones that were used briefly in a light rain never work again. If liquid gets into the right places, even in very small amounts, the phone is fried.

My 4s has turned off and will not turn on I have had in the OTTER CASE , What can I do to turn it back on
Do as it says and restore your phone at this point there is no data on your phone. If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that backup.

I have an iphone and i was sending a multimedia message and all of a sudden the phone turned off and will not turn back on. We have been charging it for almost half an hour or more and it still hasn't turned on. How do we fix it?
Wine, were you charging over the USB Connection or AC Power? We've found in our organization that at times not enough power is generated over USB to recharge it in situations like this...I quote from the email of a fellow technician that i just received today...
I’ve had a couple of users up here bring their iPhones to me so dead that the phone was unresponsive, no matter what we did. One thing that many people do not realize is that the iPhone (iOS devices in general) have power management in them. The power management appears to be set up so that the device will not power on at all until the battery is at a certain minimum level. If the user will plug the device into the power adapter, not a USB port on a computer (laptops especially), and leave it for about an hour, maybe longer, the device will come back to life.
The reason I say they have to use the power adapter is because the USB port is not high enough power to bring the charge up fast enough for the battery to come back out of “hibernation”.
Each time I have had the users do the power adapter plug in, and leave it for a couple of hours, the devices have come back to life
Hope this helps -
my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!
It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.
The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.
Is it charged? If so try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset. If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

My phone turned off and will not turn on even on the charger
My phone turned off and will not turn back on. It doesn't react when charger is plugged in, no sign of life at all. What do I do?
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.

my i phone 4 just went off and will not come back on?
Make sure it's charged...plug into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then reset it: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

can someone tell me how i can get my oiphone 4 to turn back on or has any idea what this problem is
Hi gillybabe82,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great suggestions and will help you solve the iPhone power issue that you described.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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 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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps.

My iPod froze fully charged on the lock screen for 5 minutes, then went off and will not switch back on?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????
You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

my iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?
If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Before using the current Mac version Yosemite, I did not have an Administrator password. It seems now that one is required to unlock and make changes in settings. I have tried all my usual passwords but to no avail. any ideas???
Boot into Recovery. OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
At the prompt type,
resetpassword
Hit return.
Follow the prompts in the utility to select hard drive, then user.
Reset the password.
Exit the utility and restart.
You will need to log in with your new password, but your keychain will not be reset.
I’m not sure what access you’ll have to the old keychain since it didn’t have a password. You may be able to get into the keychain and reset the password to match your login password.
