Iphone 4 cannot be opened

Ive already restore to factory setting but it keeps on shutting down ofetn. This time it turns worst coz even if i press the sleep & home button together for a minute it cannot be open. what must i do? i already charged it and nothing happens.

Why did the phone shut down in the first place? Was there a specific reason you were restoring the device to factory settings.
If this is still not working you most likely need to put your phone in recovery mode and then restore in iTunes.
Press down Home Button & Sleep Wake Button at the same time
Wait until you see the Apple
Once you see the Apple let go off Sleep / wake button but KEEP holding down the Home button
While holding down the home button, plug the device into iTunes
Once you plug in you should see a message that iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode.
At this time restore the device in iTunes.

If the device is still under warranty, take it back to Apple or whomever provides support in your country.
If it's not under warranty, take it wherever you like. Apple does not sell parts nor do they repair devices. They will offer an out of warranty replacement which is a complete, refurbished iPhone for the Out of Warranty replacement cost.

Hi guys, I am pleased to announce, after much caffeine and hours spent finding a solution, that I have fixed my problem. Here is what I did:
If you have this problem and you have CCleaner installed, go to the Startup options and re-enable all start-up programs. If you have any other programs that manage start-up programs then re-enable them under that. Now delete anything files in the Windows Startup folder in the start menu. Don't restart yet... I also went into Microsoft Services (For Windows 7: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Administrative Tools > Services) and switched all services to "Automatic" just to eliminate any problem there. I then restarted and after the long loading time due to excessive start-up programs, I tried opening iTunes and it opened fine.
My start up programs are:
Adobe ARM
Adobe Reader Speed Launcher
Adobe_ID0EYTHM (?)
AVG9_TRAY (Anti Virus)
ccleaner
FileHippo.com
iTunesHelper
msnmsgr (Windows Live Messenger)
MSSE (Microsoft Security Essentials)
QuickTime Task
Others were, Spybot Search and Destroy and Netgear Wizard, but I uninstalled both of these due to errors with the programs and internet connection.
I am guessing that disabling certain start-up programs or disabling processes under Services was the cause of my problem but I hadn't touched either of these at the weekend so I have no idea why this solution fixed iTunes. I hope this thread can help any other users with a similar problem.

Ms Office Files cannot be opened in iPad / iPhone

Hello to all. I am having some problems with my iPad/iPhone and Office documents. Some documents (word /excel/powerpoint) either created by myself in my iMac with Office for Mac or sent to me and created in MS Office, cannot be viewed in iPhone/iPad mail client and further cannot be opened in pages/numbers/keynote and Dataviz’s DocsToGo; they always refer as invalid type of file or something alike. Those documents are not password protected and I can view and edit-them fine in my iMac. It is annoying since not all files behave in such a way so I no longer can be sure if the file I send myself from my iMac and/or get from third parties would open or not in my I-devices. I already made a full restore to both of them and situation persist. I would very much appreciate your input and comments on this matter. Thanks

Have a look at the following:

IPhone App Cannot Be Opened?

http://www.gabejacobsblog.com/iphone-app-cannot-be-opened
Click the link to look at the screenshots. I don't have any idea why this happened, but basically when I open Tap Tap Revenge it gives me an error saying "tap tap cannot be opened" So weird! Also happened with Facebook. Anyone also have this? Any ideas?

I was able to do the two button reset while contected to Itunes store via USB and the apps were then functional again.

My iphone 4s dont open up after I switch off it. When I click the switch on button it blinks the apple logo in the black background. Is there anyway that i can backup my photos since I cannot open my phone?

Hello Ganewee,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It is certainly impossible to use your iPhone if it won't power on. I found some steps that can help with an issue like this:
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 15 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.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If you get to step 6 where you have to restore your iPhone and your iPhone is recognized in iTunes, I would try backing it up before going through the restore. You can find steps to backup your iPhone here:

I hope this helps!

Hello MarvanCheong,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
Best of luck,
Mario

Cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

just checked everything through and this is deffinately the public beta of iCloud as it simlily doesnt come up in the settings of ipad or iphone. However the current firmware i am using isnt an itunes download, as i have downgraded and all itunes synced apps onto both the iPad and iphone crash when i open them, is this because i have downloaded the firmware from a third party? i have treble checked that the firmware is NOT hacked and is just a host's official apple firmware, so i cannot understand why this problem is occuring?

HT1386 I get a message when I open my iTunes "The iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not stated" can you help?

Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they are still on my iphone when I open Itunes

Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they still appear on my iphone when I open Itunes on my computer and they still take up space. I am soon running out of space. Any ideas to permanantly get rid of some of the voice memos?
Am I the only one that really dislike the fact I cannot customize my iphone and cannot delete whatever files I want?
The only options i seem to have is to delete all my files WITHOUT a system restor because I tried doing a system restore and it puts back all my old files on my iphones.
I'm pretty desperate and any tips would help me a lot

If I understand you correctly, you purchased two albums directly from your iPhone and have successfully transferred the purchases to your iTunes library, but now you want to remove these two albums from your iPhone but having trouble, correct?
If so, you can manually delete the albums (song-by-song) by sliding your finger across each song's name, from left to right, then select the Delete button.
Or, while your iPhone is connected to iTunes click on the Music tab that you see in iTunes (where you specify what items to sync to your iPhone). At the bottom of that window (below Playlists, Genre, etc.) you'll see songs that are "manually" added to your iPhone, just un-check those and re-sync.

IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later

I have a user who is trying to use her iPhone 3 with her MacBook Pro. She is running Lion and has the latest version of iTunes installed (version 11.0 or whatever the new one is). When she plugs her phone into her computer a message pops up on her computer screen:
"The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
We have ensure that all the software on her computer is up to date and this still keeps popping up. Please help!
Thanks!

Restart the Mac and try again.
You can always re download iTunes here > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
No need to uninstall the currently installed copy of iTunes before doing so.
The latest version of iTunes available is v11.0.4
With iTunes open, from the menu bar click iTunes > About iTunes
That will tell you the currently installled version.

Return the iPhone and get your money back. It has been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and likely cannot be made
operative.

"Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode. You must unlock the device to import them." My iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 and I'm using iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3

"Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode. You must unlock the device to import them." That's the new error message when I plug in my iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 into the MacBook Pro running iPhoto '11 v.9.4.3. My Mac OSX is still 10.8.5.
So, I unlock the iPhone by entering the "passcode" before I plug it into the MBP and still iPhoto does nothing. At least it doesn't issue the error message above.
I've checked both iPhoto preferences and those for Photos and Camera in the Settings on the iPhone. There doesn't seem to be anything to change this lack of connectivity.
What next please?

An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?". The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?". Mistake. You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone. Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila! Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!
