  • My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades.  Any one have fix or same problem?

    My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades.  Any one have fix or same problem?
    When I press the home page the screen activates but stays black.  I have to press the side button to turn if off then may have to repeat several times to get my phone to come on.  Sometimes while using the phone the screen will become pixelly and start to fade away leaving a white screen with vertical line on it.  I have to use the close button to make it go away.

    If one of the two major buttons of your phone is broken, it is unfair to expect normal operation to be available. The first resolution to any problem involves a usable Home button, as does the second option for resolving any problem.  Get your Home button fixed.

  • HT201263 my iphone 4 wont come on although it does show the apple signal when plugged in. i need to restore it but dont know how

    recently my iphone 4 shut down and wont come back on. when i plug it in to outlet or computer it shows the apple signal but still wont turn on. i need to restore to factory settings

    Hello, Taylorlocke. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are a couple helpful troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through.  They will walk you through troubleshooting this issue. 
    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 LCIsand 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.

    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

    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????

  • My iphone 5c wont come on.

    iphone 5c wont turn on, screen is completly black. tried charging no response

    Well if resetting the phone (hold on/off, home buttons simultaneously up to 1 minute until the Apple logo appears) doesn't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple.

  • My iphone 4 wont come on i attempt to do a restore on itunes but it says error 4005

    and only holding home button, it starts to restore then says error 4005 cannot be completed or something,
    help !

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • HT1267 my iphone 3gs wont come out of recovery mode and wont restore

    I can't get my iphone out of recovery mode and it wont restore. What do I do?

    Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
    If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
    Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
    Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds.  Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button.  Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds.  Release the home button and you should be able to restore.

  • Iphone 4S wont come on after an upgrade

    I installed the recommended apple upgrade (i think it was ioS 6 or something like that) on my Iphone 4S earlier today, and although it worked for a few hours after, i discovered about an hour ago that it has shut done (black screen) and will not come back on. I havle held down the tp right hand on/off button for 10, 20, 30 seconds and nothing! Even Itunes wont recognise it! What to do???

    Well, having left on charge for about 5 hours, all of a sudden it came back on, and has been working fine all day today.

  • My iPhone 4S Wont Come on, but makes the charging sound every few seconds

    I have an iPhone 4S and the device wont power on, but when i plug it in, it repeatedly makes the sound of when you plug in your device to a power source. What is this and How do i fix this?

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • Iphone screen wont come on at all?

    Looking for advice please... my fairly new Iphone screen will not come on at all.
    I did not drop it, abuse it or hit it. It was working, a coworker came to talk to me, I stopped my music and when I tried to start it again, it would not come on. I pulled out the phone and noticed when I hit the button on the headphones it would not light up screen. I tried the button on the phone but it also does not work.
    A friend called me maybe 20 minutes later and Whew it came on but when we hung up, it would not longer come on after! I plugged it on the USB port a good 20 times, called myself from an internet phone and it just won't come back on, argh!
    I removed the screen protector and the sleeve it's in but it still will not come on. I removed the SIM card, etc etc etc but no matter what I do there is no life on the screen. If I call from the web, it does ring but that's it.
    Would anyone have any ideas for me? I have no home phone and the sim card will no longer work in my old phone leaving me phone less. I actually had to drive to a payphone to call a friend, bleh ....
    I hope this is covered by warranty, the limited warranty thankfully seems to cover this since it appears to be a mechanical defect of the phone itself.
    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    If you have a case on it, try it without the case.
    Have you tried basic troubleshooting as per the manual?
    Page 34
    "If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
    problem.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
    hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
    same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on page 131. "
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    Of course the warranty covers this.

    Hello, my Iphone 4th generation isn't showing 'any' signs of life. Tried using several different charging cords, all of wich work on my friends Pods, tried the various techniques described by Apple, so on and so forth. No battery icon is showing, no Apple icon, nothing. It hasnt been dropped or anything of the like, i hadn't used it in a few months and decided to pick it back up and it's as dead as it could be. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can breathe some life into it?? Thnx.

    Place your device into recovery mode as described here.  Note you may have to try this many times.

  • Iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone.

    My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
    I already restored it but that didn't help.
    TIA for any replies.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
