IPhone 4 screen will not respond to touch.

I tried rebooting it by holding down the power and home button it reboots but  Still no response to touch. I can't synch with macbook because it asks for password i can't type because screen doesn't work. what do i do to get device working again?

my fingers do not affect the screen period.   it asks me to swipe the screen to open, which i can't do. when i restart the phone by holding the home button and power button, it turns on and asks for my passcode which i can not enter.
i can not access settings.
when i plug it into the macbook pro the laptop tells me it can not access the phone unless i unlock the phone with the passcode, which i can't do because the phone screen will not respond to touch.
how do i restore the phone using my computer? i can't get it to do anything. i tried plugging it into the laptop while off, and then turned it on, no luck. i held the home button while plugging into the laptop, no luck. updated itunes everything.

  • App update on 4S frozen in "download now" mode.  The screen will not respond to touch, anywhere.  Rest of iPhone working AOK.  I plugged into my iMac and opened ITunes

    While playing Book Worm, a message appeared that there are updates for the iPhone (at no cost!).  There was no indication on the App icon of an update.  I proceeded, entered my password and the "Download Now, iBooks will now begin to download" appeared with the OK box.  Tapping same has done nothing (this started yesterday).  Now the App icon indicates 1 update.  I plugged the iPhone into my iMac, opening both the App store and ITunes -- nothing.  So my App application is frozen and I'm out of ideas.  I need help, please.

    Thanks, but frozen screen negates this.  The download was not at my request, but at an iPhone update & giving me the opportunity to download 4 apps at no cost.
    Per a suggestion elsewhere here, I powered off, i.e., holding power & home buttons simultaneously, got the Apple logo, entered the App store and the freeze was gone, and the offered downloads nowhere to be found on my phone.  Well, at least App store is available again.

    Hi deamayfield,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • TS3274 Screen frozen on an email page; will not respond to touch gestures?

    My screen is frozen on a email page; will not respond to hand or finger gestures?

    Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset 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.

  • Iphone screen will not rotate

    Help, again. My Iphone 5 screen will not rotate

    Be sure Orientation Lock is disabled. Swipe up from above the Home button to reveal Control Center, then tap on the padlock icon at the far-right corner in the top row so that it's NOT white/light. Only certain Apple apps (like Messages and Safari) will work in landscape mode. Third-party apps depend on the app itself and if the app is setup to work in landscape. The Home screen will not rotate to landscape on the iPhone 5, 5s or 5c despite any settings.

  • IPhone 4s will not respond

    My iPhone 4S is not responding. It is on but my alarms won't go off, I cannot access my settings, wifi is not being detected but it says there is no intent connection when it's on 3G. It also will not turn off and cannot be reset. I also cannot send SMS or iMessages. I've been charging my phone for 15 mins and it still reads 89%. I cannot even access Siri.
    I bought it 2 weeks ago, the week after Christmas, and oddly enough just purchased the apple care plan last night. This morning I've been experiencing problems for the first time.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    Restart, reset, restore.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if not already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
