    Hey einsoccerstar,
    Thanks for the question. You can restore your iPhone in recovery mode utilizing the home button:

  • My iPhone 4S touch screen is unresponsive and my Sleep/Wake button is also unworking.

    Hi. I have been having this bro;em yesterday and also today when i woke up. My Verizon iPhone 4S touch screen is un responsive sometimes then it workes other times. My Sleep/WAke button also doesnt work. My phone thinks that my sleep button is always being pushed so if my touch sreen is working i can do anything becuase my phone puts it self to sleep when i unlock it. I was on IOS 5.0.1 and then updated to IOS 5.1.1 thinking that this would help me but i didnt. I really need some help. Thanks in advance.

    A Restore is more thorough than an update. Try to Restore with iTunes on computer. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full warranty, make Genius Appointment and return to Apple for resolution.

  • My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

    My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
    The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
    Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
    It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
    i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Restart your iPhone...
    Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
    Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

  • IPhone 5 slide screen non responsive

    It happened again!!! The iPhone 5 slide screen function is non responsive. Last time i waited for the battery to run down (luckily is was almost dead) for me to restart it and it was responsive again. How do i restart this device if i can't use the shut down slide option? Please help.

    hello Neville,
    It sounds like you want to know how to restart the phone if you cannot Slide to Power off when prompted. You can reset the device with this process if that happens again:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    One week ago my iPhone felt, the screen was damaged but it was still working. Today it felt again and now it doesn't turn on, what can I do? Please help me.

    Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider. When the logo appears let go of the buttons.

  • IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

    The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
    What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

    I have no idea why it stopped working.  But why it failed does not matter.
    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

  • HT1212 my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

  • How do I remove the lock(with the circle around it) from the top of my iPhone? The screen won't display sideways.

    How do I remove the lock (with the circle around it) on my Iphone? The screen won't change to the side view. I have no idea what button I accidently
    pushed.... Please advise!  Thanks, Amy

    Double click the home button, swipe the dock at the bottom of the screen to the right, tap the circle/lock so it becomes just a circular arrow.

  • While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

    While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
