IPhone 4 is stuck in the settings screen.  Cant even power off

I was in settings deleting apps to free up space to do iOS 7 update, and now my phone is stuck in the settings screen.  I can maneuver through all the setting options, but can't get ack to my phone.  I can't power the phone off either.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to troubleshoot?

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

  • My iphone is stuck on the settings screen but the home button and lock and power buttons wont work. I can navigate through my settings but can't get out of them or turn off my phone.

    My iphone is stuck on the settings screen and the home and lock buttons wont work. I can navigate through the settings but canot go home or turn orr or reset my phone. Please help):

    I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
    If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
    Hope this somehow helps!

  • I just bought an iPhone that is stuck on the setup screen. I have Tmobile and want to know if I should unlock my phone first or get a micro sim card from Tmobile

    My iPhone 4 is stuck on the setup screen. I just bought it tonight and plan to use it on Tmobile but it is not unlocked yet. I was wondering if I should unlock the phone first or get my SIM card situation figured out with Tmobile first. Thanks for any help.

    You'll have to get the SIM card first, you can't set it up without a supported SIM.

    MY mac wont start past the gray screen. I tried starting on safe boot, single user user mode , recovery mode. Everything it gets stuck on the gray screen i even tried reinstalling it , same thing what should i do? it lets me reinstall sometimes Sometimes....  it is weird.

    orshikhfromsc,
    boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro (by holding down the C key as it starts up). When the desktop appears, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase your internal disk. After it’s been erased, reformat it. After it’s been reformatted, exit Disk Utility and reïnstall the version of Mac OS X from that DVD onto your internal disk. After that version of Mac OS X has been reïnstalled, boot from your internal disk and run Software Update to get it up-to-date within that version; that should allow you to redownload and reïnstall Mavericks, if  desired. If Mavericks is reïnstalled, run Software Update again to get it up to date.
    If you no longer have the two grey installation DVDs, you can purchase a replacement set from either Apple or iFixit.

  • Resetting all settings on iPhone makes it stuck at the boot screen endlessly

    This is the second time my iPhone stuck at the boot screen and won't boot again until of course I restore all over again.
    This problem happened on iOS 8 and iOS 8.1.2
    Does anyone have an explanation for this problem or the iOS until this release is buggy?

    Hi Try a Reboot press and hold power button and menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo. This may take up to 50 Seconds. Cheers Brian

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

  • My iPhone 5 is stuck on the temperature screen after I updated to IOS 8. What do I do!?

    I updated my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 8. It is stuck on the temperature screen. I have reset and done and hard reset. I have no idea what to do at this point? Can my phone be saved?

    Hi geoffreyfromeastanollee, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You have already done some great troubleshooting on your own. The next step I would suggest would be restoring the iPhone. Please use the attached article to place the iPhone is a special status mode called recovery mode. Restore from recovery mode and test to see if the issue remains or is resolved. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • After downgrading my iphone 5 it stuck at the apple screen

    after downgrading my iphone 5 from ios7 to ios 6 my iphone stuck at the apple screen, I tried a serval times to reboot and r it but even when it turned on when i tried to slide to unlock it, it turns of again, i hope some one could help =(

    You can get no support on this forum.  Since you have iOS 7, you're either a developer (in which case, per your NDA you must post in the Developer Forums) or a thief. 

  • My iPhone 6 is stuck on the "Temperature" screen

    Almost every time I use the Pandora application it heats up my iPhone 6 and drains the battery at about 1% a minute. This time I pulled it off the charger (attached to my desktop at work), closed out Pandora completely and turned my phone completely off so it could cool down. After it had cooled, I turned it back on and it went from the Apple logo to the "Temperature - iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it" screen. It has been 1 1/2 hours since I turned it off and it is still stuck on that screen.
    Please, is there any way to fix this without losing everything? I don't back my phone up so I don't have any way to recover my things.
    Thank you,

    So, I never got it to work. I couldn't get it to read on itunes, even to just restore it. I found that I could turn it completely off, hold the home button while plugging in the usb from the computer and it would connect to itunes just so I could restore it. I clicked restore and it said "Extracting Software" and then, after, the update bar on the iphone popped up but never loaded. Then an Error popped up on my laptop saying it could not restore the iPhone. So I have tried every avenue at this point. Now it's stuck on this screen, instead of the "Temperature" screen:
    This pops up when I have the phone off, hold the Home button down and plug the USB in from the laptop.
    My wife is going to try taking it in to Apple today to see if they have some in stock and can swap it out. Fingers crossed. This phone is brand new (got it in December) and is in great condition... at least on the exterior.

  • My iPhone 4 Is Stuck on the Welcome Screen

    My iPhone's display is completely cracked. The touch screen is jittery and the very right side of isn't touch responsive at all. I reset the settings on the phone and now I can't slide it all the way over in order to use it. I've tried the holding down power off thing, powering off, trying as hard as possible to slide it over, and more. I've connected it to iTunes to no avail. There doesn't seem to be a control in iTunes that allows be to set it up here or skip this welcome screen altogether. I don't want to have to replace the display right now, so I hope there's something I can do. Thanks!

    not really, if that part of the touch screen is broke you'll never get off the lockscreen
    sorry
