IPhone 4 Not Powering On

Hi All, Hope someone can help me. I updated to 4.3.1 today and everything seemed to be going fine. Got home and sync'd with latest itunes. Then phone went off and been unable to power on again. I had abount 50-60% battery at the time. Tried the hard reset as well. Any ideas?

Hi there prashantkombli,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
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.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

HT1267 Need to speak to someone about my Iphone not powering up

I have been having problem with switching my Iphone on, it appears not to power on. I had went to the Apple store today and was advised that they will clean the handset which appeared to be not clean when instering the charger to the phone. The phone powered up which I was happy as I have not backed up any of my contact numbers, and now phoneless.
I was then told that my warranty had exspired which I was not aware and had not recieved any information about when my warranty was coming to an end. I have discussed this with T Mobile as I had recieved my upgrade from them and they had appointed me to to go the Apple store as this may be a fault.
when I arrived home the phone had done the same thing and it would not power up again. is there anyway I can be advised on this please. Apple have told me to speak to T Mobile but they had said hopefully there should not be any fault to the phone.

Well, call Apple. This is a user to user support forum.
If you're in the US, you did NOT receive this device as an upgrade from TMobile as they do not carry iPhones.
If you are in another country, you do not have a CDMA iPhone... heck for that matter you do not have a CDMA iPhone under any circumstances if you are using TMobile.
Warranty is 1yr from purchase of a new device, 90 days for a refurbished device.

My iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates

my iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates o make the connect sound (is like the sound when you connect the phone to power) and the screen remains black, itunes recognizes the iphone, but i cannot do a hard reset because the power button does not work, and have password in my phone so itunes wond restore it. i want to know if is a hardware problem like the mother board o something. help please

If you have iOS 7 installed, you can try to restore it via the instructions given by lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135
As an alternative, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and see what is wrong beyond the failed power button.

What can I do if iPhone 5 is not powering after after I put it charge?

Hmmmm are you saying tht it will not turn on even after being charged?
Take a look at this article named iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

IPhone 3GS not powering up || Usual remedies not working

My iPhone 3GS is not powering up.
I had it connected to the wall charger and direclty with the computer for a few days and still it won't start.
I tried pressing the power and home buttons together a number of times but it would not start.
The phone is not being detected in iTunes.
I have tried with the original charger as well as my iPad 3 charger and its not working.
Its not a problem with the cable as the iPad and iPhone 5C are charging on the same cables.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
The phone was recently unlocked by AT&T after completing the 2 years contract. The same was confimed by the AT&T Store associate.

If it won't turn on, even after being plugged into a wall outlet for several hours, you most likely have a hardware failure. If under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store. If out of warranty, Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, the cost is US $199.

Find my iPhone not working

My son's iPhone 4s was locked a few months ago by some friends who were playing a joke on him. They input the wrong passcode over and over again until it was locked indefinietly. I had to restore the iPhone using a method I found online and got his phone working again. I didn't realize it until recently, but his Find My iPhone app no longer works. It is on and logged in as my Apple ID (although I have to continually put the password in). Anytime I try to use Find My iPhone to locate his phone, it shows me that his phone is offline. Even when I open the app on his phone and try to locate his phone, it says it's offline.
I feel that this issue has something to do with the restore that I did. I don't remember exactly HOW I restored the phone, but know I used iTunes. I've checked his settings for Location Services and Find My iPhone...All are active and Find My iPhone is active on my sons phone. His phone is also updated to the most recent iOS software. The wierd thing is, I CAN find him or his phone using the Find Friends app. He has a tendency to misplace his phone in our home and the Find My iPhone app is great because it allows me to send a signal to play a sound to help us locate it. The Find Friends app doesn't have that capability. Has anyone else had an issue with Find My iPhone not working after a restore?

Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
Why your iPhone (iPad, or iPod Touch) not appear in Find My iPhone?
Here are some reasons:
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

Re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service

re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service, I was able to retrieve all of my photos so the device is functional on that level. have restarted several times & also have restored data from i tunes. it said my phone is damaged.

Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over. All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over. All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist. For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs. I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

Why does my iPhone not show up in iTunes on a mac that has a shared internet connection from another mac?

I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
Setup
So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
Goal
However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
Tried
So...I click on iTunes DJ.
I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
Problem
However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
Question
So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Is there a note app that syncs with the native iphone notes app

Looking for a feature rich app to pull notes from the native iPhone app. I Like holding down the home button to tell Siri to take a note but want to do more with the note after she has taken it. Is there a note app that pulls from the basic iPhone notes app?

HT1414 iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1. My wife's iphone 5 had no issues. I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports. Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone. Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device". Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side. My wife's works both ways. I can't explain it, but there it is. I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

IPhone not being recognized by iTunes anymore

Howdy,
Like the subject line says. It use to auto recognize so I can sync, though the last time I synced was back in Dec 2007. But now it doesn't even recognize the device at all. itunes won't list it on the left hand menu, so I can't sync.
Not sure if it's the latest update to iTunes 7.6.1.9 that caused it.
Tried:
Swapping different USB ports. It only recognizes that there is a camera device attached.
Tried uninstalling the latest update and running an older version of iTunes I downloaded last Oct. But the old version won't start up because the library has already been updated to newer version.
Did a hard shutdown of my iPhone, and that doesn't work.
Tried charging iPhone to max and that didn't work.
Basically, nothing is working.
Any ideas? Not sure if it's the device or my computer, and I can't seem to find any way to reach customer support on this website... it's like a maze.
I'm using Windows XP. I'm about to pull my hair out!

Hello
Posted below is some troubleshooting that may possibly assist you today. Please be aware I am also posting what may have been done already. You can skip past this if needed. Simply posting it for others as well. If you have any other questions feel free to post back.
1. Go to Add/Remove Programs, Located in the control panel. And check and see if "Apple Mobile Device Support" is listed. It is usually located right above "Apple Software Update"
If it is not there. Then this is the reason iPhone stopped showing up. Please follow the next step below to possibly resolve this.
1 A - Uninstall the following programs in the following order if possible. Then reinstall iTunes 7.1.6.9 for Windows
* Remove Apple Mobile Device Support
* Remove Apple Software Update
* Remove Bonjour
* Remove any iPod Updater Programs
* Remove Quicktime
* Remove iTunes
-Reboot the computer, Then download and install iTunes 7.1.6.9
Once you have installed, Connect the iPhone, Wait and see if it shows up in iTunes. If it does not proceed below.
2. Go to Start- Run- type services.msc and press ok. The services window will launch.
Do you see Apple Mobile Device in the list? If so the Status should be started. If it is anything else please post back what it is.
You can usually right click on Apple Mobile Device, And tell it to start service if it was some how stopped. Once you start it and it stays started, Reconnect iPhone and see what happens.
If for some reason the service auto stops, This is sometimes caused by Security Software. Please disable or uninstall this software for testing, And see if it allows the service to be started.
If for some reason Apple Mobile Device says it is disabled. Then do the following
2 A - Right click on Apple Mobile Device, Select Properties, Look for Startup Type, Switch it to Automatic, and Apply settings, Then Start the service and press ok, Now test iPhone
3. Please test all USB Ports and see if any of them resolve iPhone not showing in iTunes, Also if possible connect iPhone to another PC to ensure it is not the iPhone itself. This will isolate it to something on the PC or iPhone
If possible disconnect any un-needed USB Devices.
If needed follow this article as well

IPhone not recognized by iTunes any more

iTunes 9.0.2 on a 2006 iMac 2GHz intel duo running OSX 10.5.8
iPhone 3Gs 32 gig
iPod (5th gen)
3 external hard drives, all the iTunes library stored on a Mybook 1 TB Firewire drive plugged into iMac direct, not via a Firewire hub.
I plugged my iPhone into the Mac this am, tried to sync the iPhone and got an error message saying that something was wrong with my iTunes.
Mac then froze.
Finally got the Mac back up after five attempts (eventually, had to unplug everything, including the mains to the iMac, plug in just the power, keyboard and mouse, press and hold power switch for 5 secs then plug in each extra drive when the Mac came back up).
Found something seriously wrong with iTunes as it wouldn't open when clicked on (Force Quit reported app frozen).
Deleted iTunes using AppZap then downloaded iTunes from Apple website.
iTunes now back up on iMac but can't find any of the music files (even when I carefully repoint the iTunes to the correct location for the iTunes library by iTunes/Preferences/Advanced then Change iTunes Media Folder Location). Each entry in the iTunes library now has a black exclamation mark against it,
Also, iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in.
Also, when I plug in my iPod, get the error message "The iPod is synced with anotehr iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
HELP!
By the way, I have TIME MACHINE running to a separate and dedicated HD. Can I not just "roll back" my iMac in the same way I could do with a PC, say selecting the iMac when it was last working fine (yesterday evening)??
Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for an answer....
Chris

Rather than create another "iPhone not recognized by iTunes" thread, I'll add to this one. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB.
After going through those steps you listed, my Windows XP installation always reverts back to the old Windows Apple iPhone drivers which only sees it as a camera. I've had it set to only pull from the iTunes drivers by specifying "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" in the Hardware Update Wizard. Windows still doesn't like the iTunes drivers stating "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". This location is the same as you noted: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" which contains:
usbaapl.cat
usbaapl.inf
usbaapl.sys
All dated 7/22/2008.
My current drivers for the iPhone in my setup are still the MS drivers, version 5.1.2600.0.
usbscan.sys
ptpusb.dll
ptpusd.dll
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
-Alex
