Iphone 4 froze, will not respond to menu/hold button power off, itunes freezes when iphone plugged in. what to do?

I've toggled it, I've held the menu and the hold button down for nearly 2 minutes, I've tried plugging it in to my iTunes, and the iTunes will freeze up and become unresponsive
Please Help!!

It will sooner or later turn off, after it turns off (Running out of Battery) charge it until the battery is full, then turn it back on. All should be fine after that.
Plus, keep trying to hard reset it (Hold the lock button and home button, ignore the slider and wait for the apple logo to appear),
Good luck!

  • IPhone 4s will not respond

    My iPhone 4S is not responding. It is on but my alarms won't go off, I cannot access my settings, wifi is not being detected but it says there is no intent connection when it's on 3G. It also will not turn off and cannot be reset. I also cannot send SMS or iMessages. I've been charging my phone for 15 mins and it still reads 89%. I cannot even access Siri.
    I bought it 2 weeks ago, the week after Christmas, and oddly enough just purchased the apple care plan last night. This morning I've been experiencing problems for the first time.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    Restart, reset, restore.

  • My iPhone 5c will not respond to deactivation of iCloud and iTunes. It is my account on it but it doesn't take the password.

    My iPhone 5c will not deactivate iCloud or iTunes.  It is my personal account and I have the password but it keeps telling me to retry.  I've checked my passwords on other devices and they all work on those.  I've done a hard restart and have tried to restore it from my computer.  Nothing works.  Any help will be appreciated. 
    Thanks

    Could you give us more into - like, "will not back up", in what way?  Do you get an error message?  Does the device freeze up?
    Is the slow feature only when you are trying to back up, or is it always slow?

    Hi, I installed a new HD in a MacBook Pro 17inch 2007 and the mac booted fine. I tightened the screws and now the Mac will not respond to the power button.

    I have reset the SMC but this has not helped.
