IPhone 2g won't boot up AT ALL ?!

I was going to charge my iphone on the dock, when i put it in the dock, suddenly, the screen goes all black. I hit the sleep button to boot it, but it won't boot. I tried the home button and the sleep button wont work. So went to apple.com for support, and they said to hold on the home button, while holding you add the usb cable to the iphone and then iTunes will recognize it. So i tried what apple.com told me.. but the iphone won't boot up at all! Not even a apple logo shows on the screen.. HELP PLEASE?

There are two thing you can try to solve this:
=================================
First you can try to do this: Reset Apple Finder
=================================
- shut down your Mac
- start it again with holding down the shift key (OSX will start in "save mode")
- go to this folder: Macintosh HD/Users/___/Library/Preferences
*Macintosh HD is the name off the HD, can be different on you Mac.
*___ is your own user name
- search for this file and delete it: com.apple.finder.plist
*By deleting the file you will reset the finder settings, this will solve the problem. There won't change anything for you after deleting the file. This file contains only settings the system made by it self. But now your Mac will start properly again and make a new com.apple.finder.plist file
Now restart you iMac without holding the shift key, so just a normal start-up. Now Your Mac should start normal again!
=================================
If this did not work, you can try this: Repair the Disk Permissions:
=================================
-Search your installation DVD's.
-Insert the disc 1 and sthut down your Mac
-Start your Mac again while holding down the C key
-Now your Mac should boot from the CD, this can take some time.
-After a while you will see a installation screen where you can chose a language.
-Chose English and continue.
-Then click some time's next and agree with the "Software Agreement".
-Open Disk Utility.
You can find it on top in menu Utilities > Open Disk Utility.
-Select your hard disk in the list of disks and volumes on the left side
-Go to the First Aid (tab somewhere on the right).
-Click the button to verify the permissions.
-Then Click the button to repair the permissions.
-Exit the Disk Utility and the installer.
Last thing you can do now is hoping your mac will start fine.
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.

  • My iphone four won't boot up in itunes. Help!

    Hi there,
    My laptop recently had a software update and went wrong, so took in the apple store. They rebooted the system and cleaned it up, but now my iphone four won't boot up in Itunes. Any thoughts on what I can do?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    I am in a Mac but I am having a similar problem with my iPod Touch (3g) and iPad 1.  Tried everything in the support article, including uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  When I did that, it worked for two syncs and then stopped working.  It does charge the device, and it opens iPhoto and I can import photos from the device to the computer, but not the other way. Have tired different cables, and no help.  It does sync to my windoze computer at work no problem.  All started after reinstalling Snow Lepoard.  OS and iTunes all up to date.

  • Iphone 5 won't boot up

    My Dad's iPhone 5 won't boot up. It only shows the iTunes symbol/lightning cable symbol. I've connected it to my own laptop with a current version of iTunes and it asked me to update or restore the device. I tried updating (since he didn't want to lose his photos, etc. with a restore), fully downloading the 1.7ish GB file, but the phone displayed the apple logo and a gray bar underneath and my iTunes gave the following error:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (27)."
    And then this:
    "Your iPhone can't be update; you must restore it to factory settings.
    If you previously backed up the iPhone, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes."
    I would do a restore but my Dad doesn't use a computer so he hasn't done any backups and he hopes for a chance to recover the data from the phone. Is there any way to access and recover the data without the phone booting up properly? Could an Apple tech at a genius bar be able to recover the data? I don't want to wipe it if there is any hope.
    Help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

    The iPhone is in recovery mode and the data is gone. You must restore as new and the phone will be wiped. If your dad had iCloud backup on, you might be able to get the data back.

  • My iPhone 4s won't switch on at all, anyone any ideas.

  • My iphone 5 won't connet to server all of a sudden

    My iphone 5 won't connect to a server all of a sudden and I've reset my settings and turned phone off  and back on and re-entered my password. What should I do now?

    If it makes a sound, that means your computer has seen it, at least, and it's able to connect.
    I'd try the following, in the following order.
    1) With the iPhone disconnected, hold the Sleep/Wake button AND the home button UNTIL the Apple logo appears. After you hold these buttons down, the slide to power off will appear, but ignore that. Then the screen will blank. When you see the Apple logo appear, let go. Once the iPhone restarts fully, plug it into the computer, and see if iTunes will see it.
    2) Repeat #1, but before you plug the phone in, restart your computer. After your computer AND iPhone have fully restarted, open iTunes, then plug your iPhone in.
    3) Download and install iTunes over your existing installation. Restart your computer, then plug your iPhone in.
    4) Uninstall iTunes fully, and ANY Apple related programs (Apple Mobile Device, etc.). Restart your computer, then install iTunes. Restart your computer again, and then open iTunes and connect your iPhone.
    If none of these work, you may have to put your iPhone into either Recovery Mode or DFU mode.

  • Iphone 4 won't boot up

    I plug in my iphone 4 and the battery symbol shows pretty much dead but it won't boot up, never takes a charge - new battery.  Is the motherboard fried?

    Charger is faulty or battery is faulty. Try different charger. Make Genuis reservation and take iPhone to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing.

    My iMac won't boot up. I get only a blank screen w/question mark (?). I tried resetting he pram, but that didn't help. What do I do?

    Thanks.  Did a safe boot, repaired disk permissions, and took your advice on the combo update.
    Running perfectly fine now, if not slightly faster.
    For the benefit of others this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 will get you to the Apple Support article that covers safe boot and parameter reset in  OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6.

  • MacBook Air won't boot up and all I get is a folder with a question mark

    My 2012 MacBook Air running mountain lion won't boot up, all I get is a grey screen and then a folder icon with a question mark in it. What can I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's possible that your hard drive has stopped working. Do you remember what OS X version you were using?
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and hold the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD. Then, choose your language, and go to the Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. After that, choose "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and repair the drive. If it couldn't be repaired, you need a new hard drive, and you can do it yourself if you want. If you don't want, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller.
    If your Mac didn't come with DVDs, follow the same steps but holding Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your computer is starting

  • IPhone 3GS, won't power on at all.

    Hi,
    earlier today, when I plugged my phone in to charge, it started with the usual symbol for charging, from a flat battery, then after having to step away for a short while, I pressed the on button and a white screen would appear, no icons etc.
    I tried to do a restore, but with ios4 now out it insisted on that being installed, and it failed, there was an error message with a code, but it came and went to quickly, and now it won't power on at all.
    Any ideas.

    Good news, after searching the support section, and finding these http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_2 instructions about restarting, that got it back to the normal screen.
    I wasn't planning to update the software straight away, but since I've got it now...

  • Equium A60 won't boot up at all

    My Equium laptop A60 asked me to uninstall Norton Antivirus because of as problem with it. On the restart, the computer would not boot up at all. I am using Windows XP and no BIOS is available when I turn the computer on and the computer just has a blank screen. Cannot get into safe mode at all. Can anyone help or offer advice?

    Hi
    That sounds not good.
    Did you try to boot up from the recovery CD?
    Check it.
    But if you cannot enter the BIOS or don't see anything on the display so I assume it could be a hardware fault.
    In this case I don't think that you can solve this problem without any help.
    Please ask the Toshiba service partner in your country for the advice.

  • IPhone 5 won't boot up, error 4005 when trying to restore!

    First things first - English is not my first language so please excuse the errors I make. If anything is unclear/badly explained just say so and I will do my best to try again.
    I am the (right now not so) happy owner of a iPhone 5 64GB since late april. It was purchased online in the germal localization of apple store.
    For a month or two everything was alright, but suddenly the phone went out and restarted - at first I panicked a bit, but after a few weeks without any problems I thought that was a one time occurrence. Then it happend again. And again. And again. Sometimes it didn't restart for over an hour. (This was especially aggravating while I travelled and all my tickets were on that phone.) This all was while iOS 6.X was still a thing.
    I updated to iOS 7 as soon as it was out and it worked well for some weeks. Then it broke down again and didn't boot at all, it was looped in the process. I panicked and googled and restored it successfully via restore mode. (Against all advice from backup though.)
    It worked for a while but a few days ago it broke down again. Annoyed I wanted to repeat it, but restore mode wouldn't work anymore! That "connect to iTunes" symbol won't even show up and iTunes doesn't recognize the phone.
    I tried DFU mode, iTunes now connected and initiated the restore process. But while it showed "Waiting for iPhone" the phone (in DFU mode!) suddenly tried to restart over and over (logo showing and fading and showing again...). Everytime I got "Error 4005". (That seems to be a error usually occurring when a cable or an adapter is broken, so I believe that the rebooting of the phone "broke" the connection to iTunes or something?)
    What I tried so far:
    Switching cables
    Crying
    Different computers
    my main computer (Win7 64 Pro), with my full iTunes library
    a new account on my main computer, iTunes without a linked ID
    my MacBook Air (OSX Lion) with a linked iTunes and, after reinstalling, a "blank" one
    another computer with Win7 64 Pro and a virginal iTunes (this got Error 4014 the first time, after that also 4005)
    "Repaired" Apple Mobile Device Support
    Crying some more
    I haven't had a phone for several days now and I'm giving up. I will contact support tomorrow.
    But is there ANYONE who knows this problem? I know that the reboot loop is notorious, but that even DFU mode (and yes, I used it correctly) doesn't work? Hardware defect? (I was VERY gentle with the phone...)
    Any help, information and last straws would be very much appreciated. I still hope I simply overlooked something obvious.
    Thank you!

    Yesterday (April 14, 2014), my 32Gb iPhone 5S running ios 7.1 unexpectantly shutdown. After plugging it in to the MacBook that I normally sync to, iTunes told me that the iPhone was in Restore mode. After some seaching on the web, I decided to let iTunes proceed with what it claimed was the only course; a restore. It claimed that all data would be erased. I went ahead since I had a backup (old). The MacBook didn't have a copy of the most recent iOS (7.1), so it downloaded v7.1, verified it and started working with the iPhone. After a minute (roughly) the iPhone lit up, but didn't proceed past the Apple logo. iTunes eventually showed an error saying the operation was unsuccessful; ending with (4005). Apple support suggested I turn off "Find My iPhone" from iCloud. Tried that, no change in the result. I tried the restore procedure again, but this time after the restore error appeared, I dismissed the error and left the iPhone plugged in to the Mac. After a few more minutes the iPhone continued to start up! I was able to backup all data locally to my Mac, and then complete the Restore. A fresh install of iOS 7.1 and a restore from backup gave me my phone back. In summary, don't give up if you see error (4005). Hope this helps someone. And back up your phone regularly!

  • Installed the latest Java update today on my older iMac and now it won't boot up at all. 2007 model worked fine this morning, now disk first aid say boot blocks f'ed.

    I am using an older mid 2007 imac 24 inch running snow leopard 10.6.8
    I normally accept software update recs, and today when installing the security update to java, all went fine till restart, when I got the universal "NO" sign, the circle with the line through it and just spinning gray bars underneath.
    Booted from system disks, ran first aid, said the boot block partitions or something like that needed updating but disk appears to be ok. Still not working.
    Do you think Alsoft Disk Warrior will fix? I am running off external back up drive now.
    Thanks for any help or advice. Apple as usual is as useless as tits on a bull, or a screen door on a submarine, pick your simile...

    If your backup's up to date it might be less hassle to erase the internal and clone back from the backup. Don't allow the update next time it appears - you're not the only one having problems it would seem.
    Note; the message "updating boot partitions" is a standard message that appears after a repair run. It won't go away and should be ignored.
    Provided the message "The volume Macintosh HD Seems to be OK" in green has appeared, your disc fle system is fine.

  • IPhone 5 won't boot after 8.1 update

    I'm having an issue with my iPhone 5. I just upgraded from 7.0.4 to 8.1. After that, i turn the power button on, the white bootup screen shows, then the phone shuts right off. It does this when i plug it into a power source as well. I just can't get it to boot into the phone itself at all. What happened, and what can i do to get it back?

    Hey mknabster,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
