Iphone 4 just turned off and wont come back on
Was on the phone in my car on the handsfree, then all of a sudden got disconnected. looked at my iphone 4 and it switched off. got home and tried charging it up and nothing happened, then tried plugging it into my pc to do a restore or see if i get any life and nothing !
got no phone now and because you have to have a micro sim you have to de activate your regular size sim. so now got no sim to put into a normal phone.
please help someone ! aaaaahhhh !!
Hey guys,
I was with my friend who had the same problem with his iPhone 4 today and as I was researching the problem I tried all the tricks and nothing seemed to work.
Until I came across some info that suggested the problem was with a proximity sensor.
Basically his phone was on(when someone called it would ring on their end instead of going straight to voicemail), but not respond tto touch or anything.
So I held the power button and slid my finger across the screen as if to "switch" it off even though the screen was blank and waited before holding the button again to turn it back on.
Once I did this it booted back up as if nothing happened.
Hope this is the same problem, good luck.

My ipod has just turned off and wont come back on
my ipod has just turned off and wont come back on but i know it had a good amount of battery left and if i plug it into my computer or docking station nothing happens please help...
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.

IPHONE JUST TURNED OFF and wont restart?
My Iphone just turned off and wont restart
Assuming it's charged, try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), and release. If that doesn't work you may have to put it in recovery mode and restore it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

my iphone 4s was working fine then it just turned off and wont turn back on but my home button dosent work what do i do?
Apart from the battery being dead (make sure by plugging into a power source for 15 minutes), hold the sleep/wake button and home button together for 10 - 20 seconds or until the apple logo appears.

i have an upgrade in 2 weeks but my phone just turned off and wont turn back on, can i get an early upgrade?
Hello hazelrose,
What an unfortunate situation! I'm sorry to hear that your current phone has stopped working. Let's see if we can find an option for you. What make & model phone do you have? Do you happen to have the extended warranty or insurance on your device?
Thank you,

i need some help. my iPad was working perfectly fine about 20mins ago and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. its was at about 60% when it stoped working so i have ruled out the fact that its dead. ive tryed turning it back on but it wont please help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
EDIT - sorry TeeKnows. I was too slow on the draw. My apologies.

Iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on.Please HELP!!
iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on. It's battery was at 98-100% and was plugged into my computer via charging cable and was charging fine. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple different times while trying to turn it on and it wont even show a charging sign. It's blacked out I can't do anything. Please help!!
There is nothing that anyone can do to cause the problem you have except to get the phone wet. If that happened then the phone probably needs to be replaced.
It will not show anything when you connect to the charger, but still leave it connected for 15 minutes, then hold both buttons. -

How do I know if my phone is charging when it just powered off and wont power back up?
Hold the power button and it should show a red battery icon with a lightning bolt symbol. That symbol indicates charging.

my iphone completely turned off and will not come back on, even when connected to the charger. how can i turn it back on?
Hello ozzy9294,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
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.
Best of luck,

My wife's iphone4 turned off spontaneously after she sent a message and it had 95% battery. Nothing we did turned the phone back on. After searching the net and looking at this forum I held the sleep/wake button and the home button together and it turned on... Amazing. Thanks to all those who have posted. Is this a recurrent issue though? Would definitely like to know if this is a handset- and/or OS-specific problem?
