IPhone 4 will not start tried reboot

When I went to bed, my phone was working fine. Got up and it was non-responsive. Totally crashed. Tried to do a hard reboot by holding down the power button. Tried plugging it in to power source. Still nothing. Panic! The phone is within the 90 days of purchase.

The iPhone is reset by holding down the power and home buttons, not just the power button. Did you try that?

Hi JG14usa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.

Hi , My Iphone will not start up. when I plug it into my Imac , it cannot find my phone ?

Suggestions: 1. make sure you have the lates version of iTunes; 2. try resetting your iPhone before syncing (
Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears; when you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot); 3. try using a different cable.

HT201413 my iphone will not start,,,

SORY,,, my IPhone will not start,,, his cannot turn on

Plug it into external power for approximately 20 minutes.
If it does not power on at that point, try a reset by pressing and holding the power and home buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

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.

Firefox will not start until reboot

I am using FF newest version, win 7, etc. I have a very strange problem. Sometimes, once every 2-4 days, my FF will not start when the computer first start. That's when the computer cold boot, I click on FF and nothing happens. I looked in task manager and there is no "firefox.exe" running. If I reboot the machine, now it boots properly. I tried clicking on the shortcut on desktop, in "All Program" or navigate to the location of "firefox.exe" on disk. I have no fancy addon's. Google TB, Download helper, Ad block plus, and Skype addon, noscript, siteadvisor, DNA (bittorrent client for Asus), Chatzilla. Any suggestion on how I can diagnose/fix this problem? tx

Hello friend, i have a suggestion:
Sometimes my Firefox closes and the same thing happens... So I close the process, on the Task Manager (famous ctrl + alt + del on Windows) and start Firefox again. Try it!:D

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Around the time 3.5 was released

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

My new Iphone will not start up, when I go to charge it all it does is beep every 2 seconds

My Iphone will not come on, all it does is beep every 2 seconds.

Have you taken any troubleshooting steps?
Start by resetting your iPhone, hold both power and home buttons together for 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then let go and wait for iPhone to restart. You will not lose any information.

My iPhone will not start after new software update. Freeze on apple screen

I updated the phone software today through the new software update directly from the phone and it will not restart past the apple screen. I have tried a hard restart, no dice.
wish I had waited.

Got it back up and working by putting in recovery mode and restoring through itunes, but lost lots of settings and app. info. I took about 4 efforts to resync after restore, not sure why, certainly not smooth or intuitive. 2 hours of my life I wish I had back.

My iPhone will not start

Please help me

Try these steps:
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.

IPad will not start after reboot

My iPad was sluggish this morning and would not make a Facetime call so I decided to reboot (hold power and home button until Apple logo appears) Since then, my iPad stays on Apple logo and will not boot up. This has been going on for the past 20 minutes. Help...my iPad is vital to my work.

You need to put iPad in Recovery Mode.

OSX will not start after reboot from single user mode

Hello,
Yesterday my iBook G4 was only starting in BASH mode. I've looked at discussions describing Kernel Panic and have followed the advice posted to the following post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1553062#1553062
When I reboot I get past the language setup and the boot progress screen/progress bar gets almost complete before going to a continuously stalling/reloading blue screen.
When I try the command:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
described in one of the responses I get a 'No such file or directory' message
I assume that as when I try:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup\ Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS
It returns '-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 58912 16 Aug 21:10 Setup Assistant'
it is the file that is missing.
As the discussion thread I was following seemed to go off on a bunch of other tangents (and was completed), I am hoping somebody might have suggestions for my specific problem under this new discussion.

Welcome To  Discussions Kongxyz!

Firefox will not start unless reboot has been done. If start is attempted, Firefox gets hung up, cannot close or log off from Windows.

I can start Firefox when I have just rebooted. If I close Firefox and come back later and try to restart Firefox, it tries to start but never does. A Control/Alt/Delete shows that it is running, but it does not load the screen. I cannot turn Firefox off or log off from Windows.

Accidentally hit the "erase all" option, iphone will not start - HELP!

I accidentally hit erase all option IN MY IPHONE, as a result, every time I turn my iphone on, first there's a yellow screen and then it starts performing a self test (similar to DOS systems), and at the end of this test it says "ApplSerialMultiplexer: mux-ad(byp)::dormancySetIntervalGated: Setting dormancy interval to 5000 ms with mask 0x1700", stops and reboots itself and then it starts over. I need HELP!
