Iphone 4 is stuck in a power turning off and on cycle after trying to update to ios 6 (not on ios 6 yet) and Itunes wont recognise it =/ help's appreciated ;)

I was trying to update my iphone 4 to ios 6 yesterday, and it got stuck on the apple screen as you turn it on. What's happening is that the phone is turning on, showing the apple symbol, staying on for around 8 seconds, turning off for about 1 or 2 seconds, then repeating. Itunes won't recognise it either. Any suggestions?

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iphone restarts. If still problem, open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore Button of iTunes.

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

    my iphone turned off and it wont turn back on ive tried everything but my home button is broekn so i cant recover it how can i fix this?

    Well, if your Home button is broken, you won't be able to reset your phone, and if the Sleep/Wake button won't turn your phone on, it's a trip to the Apple store.

    my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, any ideas??

    Let it cool and then reset it... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • HT1430 My iphone 5 turned off and it wont turn back on

    My Iphone 5 was on, after i received a text message it turned off and it wont turn back on, how can i reset it? or get it to work again

    Try holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time,
    Continue to hold both down until you see the Apple Logo on the screen. Once you see the Apple Logo on the screen let go of both buttons and allow the iPhone to reset.
    Hope this helps

    You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
    IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

  • How do i fix my ipod touch 4th gen when the apple logo appears and then a whit screen comes up and turns off and it wont charge and it wont connect to itunes

    My ipod touch 4th gen is a having a few problems with charging and turning on, my ipod comes up with the  extremely low on power symbol and then i put it into my computer and it comes up with the charging symbol then it goes to the apple logo and then onto a blank white screen and then turns off and repeats that process i have tried various things including resetting my ipod trying to connect it to itunes but it doesnt come up with anything so i cant reset it on itunes and have tried various charging devices.

    Tried it but it won't do anything all it does is make the screen do a very small flash of white and then continues doing the same thing appearing with apple logo then the white screen and off and keeps repeating that
    I'm guessing the white small flash means it's been reset when I hold the 2 buttons down,
    Thanks for suggesting.

    Check your USB connections

    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

  • Mi ipod touch 5th generation randomly turned off and it wont turn back on or charge. what should i do?

    hi!
    i have the ipod touch 5th generation and last night i was using like i normally do,but the it just turned off and i thought that my battery died so i put it to charge but im pretty sure that my battery was at least 40% so i found that a little bit odd and when i plug it in it didnt make any sound and nothing showed on the screen. I kind of just ignored it so i let it charge the whole night and the next morning when i woke up the firts thing i did was to check on it. My ipod still wont turn on or charge and tried to connected to my computer but nothing shows up. i will really appreciate if someone could help me.
    thank you (:

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

    When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

    The computer freezes?  There may be something wrong with the USB port.  If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port?  If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer?  Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
    You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub.  Something like this one
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
    There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply.  You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer.  This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected.  Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.
