Iphone 4 will not hold a charge or power on since update, if it does power on (while on charger) it only displays itunes icon and USB cord...and suggestions?

Not sure what to do, this is my first apple produst... HELP PLEASE!!!! im so used to android haha

Unfortunatly it sounds like something has gone very wrong when updating your iPhone. Its possible that some files on your phone may have become corrupt while the update was taking place. To be on the safe side, I would do as above and see if the problem still exist.

  • My iphone will not hold a charge

    my iphone will not hold a charge. This started approx 1 1/2 months ago. I have downloaded new update as i felt that was the reason for the issue, it was not. What else could be causing it to do this?

    If brand new then yes .Back up and remove photos etc as Apple will replace if found faulty
    see this  for guidance

  • HT4623 My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

    After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

    Do as the diagram indicates:  Connect your iPhone to your computer.  Open iTunes on the computer and restore your device.

    Yes, thank you.  My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that. 
    Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

  • If i sign into itunes with a usb cord and my phone comes up with a different name , will all my phone information be ransferred into that persons phone??

    can my phones contacts, messages etc be linked with another phone if our apple ids are different??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course not. Apps are not deleted if you change your Apple ID on any of your devices. However, you will need the old Apple ID to update those applications, unless you download them with the new Apple ID.
    iCloud lets you choose if you want to delete or keep your data stored on iCloud. The only exception is for documents stored on iCloud, which are deleted if you change your iCloud account

  • IPhone will not turn on, charge or connect to a PC

    My iPhone will not turn on, I was installing the iOS update on 4% battery which i've realised is bad and now my phone won't charge, turn on or even connect to a pc, i've tried pressing the two buttons to try fix it but nothing happens the screen remains black, ive tried charging it from a wall and nothing works at all! Is there anything else I can do?

    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.

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

  • I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

    I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149.  It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

  • My lock button is broken and my iphone will not power back on when I charge it, how do I turn it on?

    My iphone will not power on when I plug it into charger in the wall, computer, or car. My lock button is broken and I do not know how to turn it back on. My phone did not die it just went black and has not been dropped, cracked, or gotten wet. What do I do?

    Normally one would do a reset, however without the lock button, which is the sleep/wake button, you cannot do a reset. You could always wait until the battery dies to see if it will start when plugged in, but the sleep/wake button is an integral part of the phone and needs to work to do a number of functions. I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it fixed.

  • IPhone 4S will not hold a charge, can I buy a new battery?

    My iphone4s will not hold a charge, can I buy a new battery from Apple? I've searched everywhere to find the answer!

    Apple do not sell batteries, but will replace the battery for a fee.  Phone your Apple Store for instructions.

  • My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

    My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

    First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.
