Iphone 4 keeps rebooting... but only when plugged in

My iphone keeps rebooting itself... but only when I have it plugged in to the wall. When its not plugged in, it seems to work fine.
We have two iphones in our house... and I have tried the other wall charger... same result.
I went through the recovery mode restore... and its still doing it.
Any suggestions?

If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, when your iPhone is connected to your Mac, is it connected direct to a USB port on your computer - not connected to a USB hub?
Since the buzzing/beeps continue when your iPhone is connected to the AC adaptor, do you have another USB dock connector cable to try to rule out a problem with your iPhone's USB cable?

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used, it doesn't matter what I do with it, it has to restart itself during usage, it's so annoying. I have restored but still no luck, currently trying to update the software once I've finished downloading it but I know it will keep restarting when connected to itunes.
Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
because i dont have it anymore only the phone, box charger and usb
thanks

No. The warranty is tied to the device, not the individual & all iphone 4's are still under warranty.

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting iOS 5

I am at the stage that I am HATING having spent £300 on a phone that messes up every week!
My iPhone was running absolutely bang on on iOS 4.3.3 but like an idiot I decided to update it to 5.0 !
Now that it has been updated it has been running fine for like a week, however last night when I put it on charge it keeps restarting every 3 minutes for no absolute reason!
I switched my phone off and on again and still does the same thing!
I connected my iPhone to iTunes on DFU mode so that I could try to restore it, however no success!
So I went online and checked for new updates, found out that the iOS 5.0.1 was out which could be why Apple is playing with me?
I again connected my iPhone to iTunes and went for the update (my iPhone is still in DFU mode) it downloads most of the iOS 5.0.1 684.9 out of 685.0 MB and gives me an error saying network connection interrupted?! I tried it 4/5 times! Always does the same!
I do not know what to do anymore!
Please HELP!

Here is a solution I found searching the web. It worked for me so i hope it will help you guys out.
OK.........Finally I found the solution for sim problem with update 5.0.1 and the solution for fixing the iphone 3gs keeps rebooting or keeps restarting after 3-2 minutes?
for fixing the sim issues with update 5.0.1 or the rebooting problem do the following:
Take the     sim out
enable     the 3G and cellular date in network     setting
than     insert the sim back
the     netwok will register your sim via 3G not GSM
than after     3 minutes turn off 3G and cellular data
congratulation………your problem had been solved?...Im not an expert…but its seems this update 5.0.1…is not suitable for 3GS phones as they have ( special tapfro turning 3g on and off)this update is suitable for iphone 4?which enable automatically 3G.
The apple should have warn all 3GS phone about that ………not waiting some one not expert like me to solve it out?
Anyway……………have a nice day every one

Burned Image on screen, but only when using Safari

I have a burned image on my IPhone's screen, but only when I use Safari. Additionally, when I open Safari's multiple window viewer feature, the image is there as well. The home screen and every other app is unaffected. Turning off and on the phone does nothing to fix the problem.
I know removing the casing and battery is an adventure, so I am trying to avoid it if I can.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this problem?
Thanks for the help.

Troubleshoot Safari extensions ..
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I'm receiving all notifications, but only when I open my iPad, then I get them all at once...? How do I get the notifications immediately?

I'm receiving all my notifications, but only when I open my iPad, then I get them all at once. Why am I not getting them immediatlely?

Is this a wifi-only iPad? If so, and unless it is plugged in, when you sleep the device, it shuts off the wifi radio to save battery power. When you wake up the device, the wifi radio is re-activated, it connects and gets your notifications. That is perfectly normal and simply a function of the design of the device. The wifi will not shut off if the device is plugged into a power outlet (no need to conserve power then).
A 3G iPad would allow for push notifications, if the 3G connection was left on all the time.
P.S. if you do have a 3G iPad and have 3G enabled all the time, then I do not know why it is not working.

Hello there, Fernandox26.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

HT5622 both my 2 children have an iphone and iPads each but only one computer with one apple id( one itune account) is there away to have 3 different apple id's on one computer? and if so how?

Both Myself and my 2 children have an iphone and ipad each but only 1 computer and itunes account( 1 apple id) is there away to have 3 itunes accounts on 1 computer as we are all sick of get each other apps and contacts messages, ect.

Do your children have separate user accounts on the shared mac? They can have their own user accounts with their own AppleIDs, but you could put the iTunes Library into a shared folder, or better an external drive with the ignore ownership option set.

There are 2 iPhones in my house but only 1 pc, can I sync both phones on the same iTunes, if not what can I do??Ask your question.

There are now 2 iPhones in my house but only 1 pc, 1 iPhone 3GS and a 3G how can I sync them both??

iTunes will notice the difference between the two and they can be synced as seperate devices. iTunes can only sync one at a time, but it will sync them with their own preferences and files etc.

IPhone 5 keeps rebooting since iOS 7.1 upgrade

Since upgrading to iOS7.1 about 36-hours ago, my iPhone 5 keeps rebooting itself. I've also noticed that the screen wakes itself up (as if pressing the Home button) as often as every 10-mins.
Anyone else seeing the same/similiair thing?
Any news from Apple about a fix?

Here are the basic troubleshooting steps:
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
Restore from backup
Restore as new

IPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account

Brand new to the MacBook Pro world. First Apple laptop (or Apple computer at all for that matter) so of course I have some questions. I think I am correct in saying that basically each Apple device has to be separate and apart from another even if they reside in the same household. Meaning that each one has to be logged on to a separate and unique Apple account and email address for things like Facetime and iMessage to work properly. So, with that said......If I personally own the iPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account how can I make them both work separately and independent of each other??? The problem I've noticed is that Facetime and iMessage do not work and conflict with each of the two devices.

Hi BigDisMe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations, and welcome to the Mac World. Actually, you can use an Apple ID, together with iCloud to make your devices work together. Both devices can be connected to the same Apple ID, and use Facetime, Messages, and email together.
As long as both of your devices are updated to the latest OS, OS X 10.9 Mavericks for your MacBook and iOS 7.0.4 for your iPhone, you can:
On Mac:
     1. Open System Preferences-iCloud
     2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
     3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
     4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
     5. There is no Step 5.
On iPhone:
     1. Open Settings-iCloud.
     2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
     3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
     4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
     5. There is no Step 5.
Good Luck,

ronicr76,
First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
> The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.
