?iphone 4  wont turn on after ios update

Hi folks, I updated my iphone 4 with the ios5 or 6 update, and when it powercycled it would not turn back on.
when I try to turn it on, i get the standard apple icon, then a usb symbol will appear with an arrow above it, and the i tunes symbol above that.
Its obviously telling me to connect to itunes, but when i do, the device registers, but only prompts me to reset the phone. After doing that, same prob...HELP

If connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article did not help to restore the phone again, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place or by contacting Apple Support.

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • Iphone5s wont turn on after IOS update

    This morning my phone was ready for the new IOS update. Everything was going fine and it updated as it did before but now it just wont turn on. I tried pressing and holding the power button, the home button, and both at the same time with no luck. Its an older phone and was working fine before. i have no insurance and dont know what to do.

    If it's a 5s it's still under warranty, even if you don't have insurance.

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:

  • HT204204 my apple ipad wont turn on after i updating software

    sir,my apple ipad (16gb) wont turn on after i updating software correctly.so still this off position and cant any work.please help me

    You took a backup on your computer's iTunes prior to starting the backup, or you have a recent backup ? And you have all of the apps that you had on the iPad in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library - none of your iTunes downloads are included in a backup (that contains apps settings and contents), the restore will look to pick them up from your iTunes library.
    To restore select the iPad on your computer's iTunes and either do File > Devices > Restore From Backup
    Or on its Summary tab in iTunes click the 'Restore Backup' button

    Help! My iPhone 5 wont turn on after battery died. iPhone is not reponding to charger or anything I have tried... Hard reset is not in option beacuse iPhone is turned off.

    Your only chance is letting it charge for about 10min, then connecting it in recovery mode, explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it does not charge at all, you'll have to get it serviced by Apple.

  • 4s wont turn on after OS update 8.1.3.

    4s wont turn on after OS 8.1.3 update. attempted restart several times with no success. fully charged battery & plugged I at time of update. iTunes doesn't recognize the device since it wont turn on so I cant even do a system restore. no problems previously.
    any suggestions? thanks in advance.

    The message is correct. Once you see the iTunes logo and the USB cord your iPhone must be restored. It has already lost all data stored on it. You can recover your data from a recent backup if you have one. You can recover all purchased music and apps without the backup. When I updated our 2 iPhones, I backed each of them up to iTunes before updating just in case. I recommend that you do this before you do any future updates.

  • Iphone wont turn on after ios 7.1 update, help please

    Guys, please help me with this problem. After updating it to iOS 7.1 its no longer turning on

    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 LCIs and 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.
