Iphone 4 crashed - black screen + constant vibrating

HI there
Can anyone help me with a serious iphone crash please?
The phone showed yellow triangle saying something like 'device can not be charged with this accessory' (I wasn't trying to charge it to anything at the time), then it went fuzzy, then black and started vibrating constantly.
I tried to reboot it via pushing the on/off and home buttons simultaneously. I tried to plus it into my laptop but itunes doesn't recognise it.
I am in an airport on my way to Lima!
Thanks

Here are Apple Steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You can try a DFU Mode Restore:
Open iTunes on Computer, connect iPhone to Computer with USB Cable, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button, keep holding the Home Button until iTunes says it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds longer. If the iPhone Screen is Black, Blank this is DFU Mode, Restore the iPhone Firmware. If something is on the screen this is not DFU Mode. Keep trying to get DFU Mode, which is sometimes difficult even for experienced users. DFU Mode = iTunes says Recovery Mode and iPhone Screen is black, blank.
If your iPhone Restore results with an Error, write down the Error Number so you can look up the cause and the fix.

Hello there, Kevin Barreto.
To make sure if it is a hardware issue or not, the following Knowledge Base article should help guide you further:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Specifically the section on:
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

Reset the phone: Press both the home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. (No data loss)
If no response, connect to AC adaptor, charge for at least 30 minutes and repeat the reset if needed
If still no response, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

My iPhone is stuck on a constant vibration. It responds to literally nothing. Any Solution?

My iPhone is stuck on a constant vibration. It responds to literally nothing.
Is there any solution to this. Or is this a hardware problem, this is crazy.

Try pluging it in to itunes and doing a restore to factory default and then sync form backup

My iphone has a black screen, when I attach the charger i get a beeping noise. It does not seem to be charging ?

try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

IPhone 6 went black screen after purchasing and activating 3 days from Apple Store Online. Please advise

I bought iPhone 6 from online apple store for my GF as bday gift..
3 days after receiving and activating it, iPhone 6 went black screen..
After all, it is a birthday gift..
Is this issue quite common in iPhone 6 edition?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, make sure that the phone is charged, then Connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If still no luck, contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

I have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown

i have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown nothing do no restart and when i have restore my iphone it say error 4014????????????

is this the original iPhone 5, or 5s? If it's the 5s do you have Apple Care still? If so calling Apple iPhone support is where to start, hopefully they can help, if not, setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar at an apple retail store is a good option too, Call the store first though and ask what your options are in terms of warranty and service. If you are having problems with the regular iPhone 5, still call Apple Care or an Apple store and see what they can do.
good luck!

Hey there Maggie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

ITunes with videos bad, Music & Regular! Crash, Black Screen, Tagging?

So i have been using iTunes for ages and have been collection Music's CD's longer and i got to load them to iTunes a while ago. Music works great in iTunes but with my CD's i often got music video's included so i tried to play them and some regular videos in iTunes and got the following problems and issues (Almost all the tested video files was optimised for iProducts (All MP4 format)) :
Can't use some of my music videos (mp4 format) in itunes but i can in Quicktime (Got black screen but good sound ). I have no idea how they coded iTunes but shouldn't they use the same codec's?.
iTunes have a tendency to crash if i play music videos in a row. (Like to use random in a music video list, calming in the background. i know it's kind of excessive but i like it).
Sometimes i need to play through a music video then reverse back to it to get a picture. (Sound works great tho) .
Laggy! Sometimes the sound get out of sync with video and vice versa. (Usually the beginning. Has a tendency to catch up but not always, sometimes a middle lane in the video freezes.)
Can't you tag or sort video files better.? My computer sometimes crashes or get changed so i need to reinstall my media library from a backup. It would immensely help if i could ID3 tag media files the same way i can song so they automatically sort in to music video's, movies and Tv-series (media types!) without forcing me too change it in the advance tap at show more information. (This is off topic but i need this for audiobooks too (iTunes don't got my type of books so i am manually coping them from CD to MP3 format and transferring them to my iPhone))
So i'm a trial and error person so i worked a little bit with the problems when i had the time and when finally got somewhere and had some real questions so i created this profile and wrote this post.
Please read the whole post before you go yelling: -Look at this!, Already Asked!, See this forum! It's your computer! I usually get to the point somewhere on this post. At the bottom of the post i have my current specs for my computer. So here comes the wall of text:
I started with this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718?viewlocale=en_US and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717 which is what you get if you search a bit in apple's support site. Tried all the things there. Disabled Direct3D, Tried Safe Mode On (Note: These two made the performance worse not better.), Checked display colour quality (Maxed), Turned on DMA, (A slight improvement still issues.) and finally got to ReadyBoost. I have all my media on an external drive (Aha you says!) and yes i finally figured out that iTunes can't handle files of that size from a regular external (Observe i do not have ReadyBoost on my 1T drive, It says it don't have the necessary performance). So i moved my video files to my internal drive and it significantly improved in problems 2,3,4 (Not gone!), Also noticed that i need to have as short pathway as possible (smaller improvements yet again!) (None of this shows in troubleshooting, Apple needs to read my post i think.)
I am now browsing web forums for a better suggestions on the problems and found that Apple either did not care about the problems or the members of this or other forums recommended other media player's to use for handling devices and media (MediaMonkey, doubleTwist and so on). Either as to further their own agenda or that they have giving up on iTunes as a media player for large number of media files. (Found a good media tagger, Magic MP3 Tagger, which worked wonders on some of my older albums with no or little information). So back to my problems or questions.
What can be the trouble with a mp4 format?
Tendency to crash, is iTunes really that unstable?
Play through music video to see picture. Really iTunes?
Laggy! don't know what more to say or fix. (iTunes take to long to buffer (got between 0-15 seconds delay after i come this far, better then before but not great)
Sort video files better. (Tags). The only format i know to date that instantly recognise what media type it is, some movie format and the ringtone format m3u (Useful to know is that you can make your own ringtones by creating a ACC with a limited play time in advanced tab (max 30 seconds) then change the last file ending of the ACC file now created to m3u. Viola! (Don’t forget to change back to the regular playtime on the original file) your custom created ring/smstone in workable and high quality, but i digress).
Sorry for the long read but i wanted to be as thorough as possible and please forgive any grammar and spelling problems. English is not my native tongue and the spelling checker did not work in my laptop (browser) on this website
Currently using (The one with iTunes and the external hard drive) (But have had two different computers before with same problem, 1 PC & 1 Mac):

This problem cropped up for me yesterday. I had just copied a new video to my iTunes library and was testing that it worked properly, but while the sound was playing, the screen was black.
Pausing/pressing the Play button resolves the issue, until I select a new video/movie to play, when I have to do it again.
I'm running MacOS X 10.6.6 and iTunes 10.1.1 (4). I tried reinstalling iTunes, with no luck. I also tried the old mainstay of replacing the Preferences file, but that also didn't help.
There is ONE new wrinkle to this situation. Yesterday, I had installed a new app named AirView to stream videos over AirPlay to my iPad. This works fine, but after this, the issue cropped up, suggesting an AirPlay issue.
I have two iMacs, so decided to try this situation on the Kitchen iMac and played a video on this other iMac just fine, video and sound. I then started up AirView on the iPad and initiated the video stream to the iPad from the Kitchen iMac. The movie played fine on the iPad. I quit AirView and went back to try the video on the Kitchen iMac, and yes, the video now failed to display until I reselected Computer from the AirPlay menu at the bottom of the screen, or used the pause/play solution, even though Computer was still selected as the default in the AirPlay menu. Doing this once seemed to be enough to resolve the issue for playing all videos on the Kitchen iMac, but not on the Office iMac.
The only other difference between iTunes on these two iMacs is that one (the Office iMac) is running its videos from a FireWire 800 attached 2TB hard drive, while the Kitchen iMac's contents are on the internal hard drive.
Deselecting the AirPlay option in Preferences/Devices to start videos correctly on the Office iMac is not a solution, since this iMac serves as our home server for our Apple TV.
Since I have a practical option, however, and since this issue doesn't affect playing videos remotely using AirPlay, this is now a buggy annoyance, but no longer a problem for me.

My iPhone has a black screen!

Hello apple community. My dad just sent me a used iPhone 4s for my birthday about 1 week ago. Today I was using my iPhone and I went to eat and left my phone on my bed. Then when I came back , I tried turn it on and it didnt turn on. It has a black screen but it functions properly. It might be a display screen error or something. I tried the famous method of pressing the home button and the power button at the same time for like 10 seconds but it still wont work. I also plugged it in on my computer and it shows everything on there but my iPhone screen is still black. I hadthe same problem earlier when I got the phone but it turned on after a little while of charging it. What is going on? I live in a small town in Mexico and there are no Apple stores nearby! What should I do? Please I really need your help on this issue. Thank you very much for your attention and hopefully you guys can help me.

IPhone 4 crashed, blank screen, broken home button, and iTunes won't allow access unless I "respond with phone," how do I reboot or get my data off this phone?

The power button on my iPhone broke a few months ago, so I have been using the assisted touch feature to lock the screen. Last night, in the middle of using an app, the phone froze and nothing working except the assisted touch icon (I could use it and move it around). I locked the screen using this, which evidently was a mistake, because now I have a blank screen that won't respond to anything. When I connect the charger, the phone still makes the normal sounds and vibrations, but the screen is blank. I can't do a hard reboot without the power button. I recently bought a new computer, so today I downloaded iTunes, but iTunes wants me to "respond with the phone" in order to continue. How can I at LEAST upload my contacts, photos and video from this phone? Or is there a trick I can try to bring it back from this black screen that is non-responsive? And NO...I'm not interested in putting it in the freezer!!

Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
Hope this helps.

Black Screen - constant chiming

The MacBook did just as the title suggests.
Opened the lid to awake it from sleep - black screen and then it just kept repeating the startup chime at 5 second intervals. A reboot worked but does anyone have an idea what the matter was? I know that, potentially, there is an issue with the black screen upon re-awakening but chiming??
Paul.

Agree with the comments of FelipeV the crux of the matter is that mpeterson329 abused his phone.
Also agree with the below comment:

Have you dismantled the iPhone in any way yet ?

IPhone keeps crashing blue screen

Since I have had my Iphone and upgraded to service pack 2.2.1 every time I plug the iphone into the pc it crashes, blue screen of death or just nothing. I have had the phone wiped three times by me and the apple store still this happens but only it seems if I down load an app from the app store on the iphone, i am now fed up with restoring my phone and it seems I am not alone! Come on Apple!! don't you have enough of our money! help us. I have service pack 3 on the PC, and of interest my ipod mini works fine no problems at all in itunes, it's just the iphone. Please help.. Oh and have tried the web camera thing as well and I have not hacked my iphone either.

I have had this problem as well, that with any photos on my iphone as soon as I connect to laptop it crashes. I do not have any logitech software. My laptop is a Acer Travelmate 6460 and has a built in webcam but I have uninstalled this & still crashes. Strange thing is I have an older Acer laptop and this does not crash.
I have done everything I have seen on discussion forums etc but now getting very frustrated as I have to email the photos off my phone then delete them.
Any help would be appreciated
