IPhone 4 not starting
I have a iPhone 4 which I restored to original factory settings via the phone. I did this a few months ago, put it back in the box and this week sold it to a friend. The phone, when switched and with a fully charged battery won't pass the first phase of setting up. When you pull the slider across the phone freezes and goes through a turning on and off phase. I then do the standard reset on the phone, it turns on, I try the slider and it does the same on and off. I have put the phone in recovery mode and connected to iTunes and it goes through the usual to restore the phone, which it does no problem, then I get the problem listed earlier. I have done this twice. Does anyone have any advice to get the phone started again? I had no problem with the phone at all before I reset it and it also has the latest firmware installed.
If it's not charging when you plug it into the wall use a different outlet. If it still doesn't work your charger may be broken. The iPhone won't charge when it is connected to a computer that is not connected to an AC plug (I don't think so, at least from my experience).

HT201263 HELP ON THE IPHONE NOT STARTING-UP
Hi
I reset my iphone yesterday and now the screen only shows the apple logo. Moreover, sometimes it show the red battery feature which i dont understand as i will be connecting the iphone to the computer and it all cant help me to charge the iphone. I have been given advice by others to swithch it off by simultanously pressing and holding down the sleep/wake button and the home button but it all cant work to switch it off. Now, I want to use it, what do I do then. Only the logo is there now and forever, but sometimes, it dissapears and the red battery features come on the screen again. Should I desroy the iphone as i think its dead now. To sell it is nothing as i cant sell a dead iphone.
TafaraPlease try the following...
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Iphone not starting up, apple icon fading at start up
My iphone 5 will not turn on, the silver apple icon appears for 5 seconds and then thats it, the screen shuts off. when i plugged the phone into a charger or computer, the silver apple icon will appear and then fades out along with the screen display with some small vertical lines running down through the screen this will occur repeatedly until i unplugged my iphone and shut it off my holding the power button.. hopefully someone can give me some guidance on this issue, thanks!
Hello simmer5555,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. We'll need to isolate this issue to see if it is hardware related. To accomplish this, we'll need to restore the iPhone with a computer running iTunes.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you are unable to do so, please see the following:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Note: Restoring your iPhone will erase all contents, however if you have a previous backup you may be able to restore from it afterwards.
Thanks,

Iphone not starting after reset
i have one iphone 3. i choose reset all settings option to remove the numbers, names and other stuff. it said, iphone will take one hour. after doing this, apple sign is continuously on my screen. even i press home and top buttom for minutes, it didnt switch off. its choosing to switch-off with a bling by its own but then immediately apple icon appears. i tried to reconnent it through itunes but nothing worked. even holding the home screen and attaching the cable. many other ways to rectify it but all waste... its not even charging. it shows red mark (battery out) often. trying to figurew out the restoration but nothing helping. could u guys plz help me with this. thanks.
Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

Itunes does not start and i cannot sync my iphone 4
I have installed Itunes 10.1.1.4 on my computer running Windows XP but it does not start. This prevent me to sync my new iphone 4.
Previously I had other versions of itunes on the computer and sometimes the same problem happened.
I did a search on Apple support and I followed the instructions (itunes disinstallation and reinstallation) but it didn't work.
I tried also to disable all the startup app but itunes using msconfig (as again suggested by apple) but it din't work as well.
Somewhere on internet I found that Bonjour could create the problem: using services.msc I disabled it but it din't work as well.
I would appreciate very much if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.

My iphone 4 started displaying a message box with the following message: "This accessory is not optimized for this phone. You may experience noise and loss of battery." My question is: Why is this happening and how do I fix it? (I'm losing battery power precipitously). Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question.
Thanks Kilted Tim, you solved the problem. I'm mightily impressed at the simplicity of the solution!

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?
Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

get error message when trying to sync iphone to puter that says"cannot connect because apple mobile divise is not started? what do i do?
Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
