IPHONE 4S Will Not Boot Up?
I have a problem with my IPhone 4S. The phone will not load past the boot up stage, just the apple logo displaying with a progress bar (see pic) any ideas what is causing this problem? and is there a fix?
Hi there jazzyman2014,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if your device wont turn on completely.

iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection
Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option. -
Iphone 4 will not boot up, the apple logo does not go away
The phone will not boot up, the apple logo stays on and does not finish booting. All I did was delete an app, I went to reboot the phone becasue it was running slow and now it wont boot up at all. I've tried the hard reset and nothing
And then if that fails try this:
What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds.
Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode. -
Like everyone else today, I attempted to make the move to iOS 8, using my Mac's iTunes. All was running smoothly, the progress bar was nearing the end when I received the error that "the iPhone software update server could not be contacted." With a now useless phone, I restarted it, hoping for the best as I could do nothing. I am now stuck with a phone which will turn on to the white startup screen and black Apple Logo, then instantly shut down, leaving me to repeat the process. If I hold down the home button, I can enter what seems to be "Recovery Mode," with a red iTunes Logo, as opposed to the usual blue. From here, all internet sources I have found suggest that I should restore the phone, but that's really where I hit the problem. When I plug the phone in, when in Recovery Mode, I simply receive the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted" error again, leaving the phone not recognized by iTunes. In non-recovery mode, the phone appears to simply turn off so fast that iTunes has no time to find it.
Any one with similar problems or solutions?This what happened to my iPhone 5 after I updated to iOS 8.0;
The update process was done smootly without problems thru
Over the Air.
Now when I cold start/boot my iPhone 5, my apple logo appears as it was
in iOS 7, but after 30 seconds or so, my Apple Logo dissappears the
screen goes black for 5-6 seconds, but then viola! I am at the Log-On
screen... Then I start using my iPhone.
Just like Chris above, I have done 10 reboots, (complete shut down and
restart), its always the same...
Other than this, my iPhone works just fine. I will not re-install the iOS.
From my past experience, re-installing the iOS does not change
these minor differences... -

Iphone 3g will not boot. help needed!!!
the phone was working and then i tried restoring it when my desktop lost power half way through. it now remains in the connect to itunes state even with trying the hold home and key lock operations. i have tried all the troubleshooting options from apples website with no success.
also i have tried restoring agian but the process is as follows;
1) itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, it needs to be restored before use.( after clicking buttons the restore process is started )
2) half way through itunes says it is restoring the software the phone shuts down into recovery mode.
3) itunes pops up a window saying "the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (14)."
i have been trying to fix this problem for like 23 hours straight as i have just bought the phone. assistance on this would be more than appreciated.
Message was edited by: dennis_610I have had this issue before, the iPhone will hang with the apple logo up indefinitely. I lost patience around 20 minutes. The way I got past this was to hold the power/home button at the same time until the phone powered off, and then retried, repeating around the 7 minute mark until it booted successfully. It has taken 3-4 tries at times, but has always started. This has happened about 3 times now since I upgraded the day it was released.
Also, when it does finally start, I've gotten the "iPhone is activated" popup, and had trouble using apps (closing immediately after splash screen) and certain songs. Seems like it's some sort of DRM credential issue. I downloaded a free app to the phone, and they all began working again, even once the app was deleted. However, if I end up with the boot process stalling and the whole iPhone is activated popup again, I'm back to square one. I also got the songs I couldn't play to play, but I am not sure what specifically it was that fixed that.
I am running 3.1 on a 3G, which I upgraded from the latest 2.x release. -
IPhone 3GS Will not boot after iOS 4.3 Update....
I updated my wife's 3GS last night and when it was done it rebooted and started filling up the line under the apple logo like it always does after the software is loaded but after the bar fills up, the phone locks up and does not go past the apple logo with a full bar under it. - iTunes also locks up when you connect the phone. I've tried to restore it but it does the same thing.... any ideas?
You're further than I am!! Mine's frozen on the apple with an empty progress bar. And absolutely nothing seems to be working. I've tried taking the SIM card out, tried restoring to previous system, but Itunes won't recognise the phone. It's absolutely doing my head in and I'm going out of town in the morning and really don't fancy being without my phone!

IPhone 4 - Will Not Boot - Please Help!
Hi,
I have a iPhone 4 and it froze and when rebooted it stays at the Apple logo screen.
I have tried to put the iPhone in DFU and all I can get it to do is go into recovery mode (Shows a picture of iTunes with USB etc..)
When I press the Sleep and Home button, the iPhone just goes of for a second and then powers back up and again, stays at the Apple logo.
I have some pictures on my iPhone that I MUST get off before I allow it to be recovered..Can anyone help me get my pictures? - Please!https://discussions.apple.com/message/17912292#17912292

My father has owned his iphone for almost exactly 9 months. The phone was purchased in the US when he was on holiday. We live in Barbados, but the phone should still be under warranty. (please correct me if I'm wrong). He says the phone will not boot, it is inconsistent with showing how much battery life it has and it keeps looping because it's always trying to reboot. He treats his electronics very well and the phone is in perfect condition. Is there any way that this can be fixed without him losing all the information on the phone? Or can he get a replacement phone (due to the warranty issue)?
Have you tried any basic troubleshooting
restart
reset
Restore

Hi battye,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation where your iPhone will not start up past the Apple logo, there are several troubleshooting steps I would recommend. Please use the attached article as a reference to troubleshoot.

my iphone 4 i bought was jailbroken to ios 6.0.1 redsn0w but i tried to restore the iphone and now it keeps saying connect to itunes but when i connect and try to restore an "unknown error" occurs and it will not boot up whatsoever. please help!
If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

It rained in my window last night, on my power strip. My macbook adaptor (charger) and iphone adaptor were both plugged into the strip. The power strip is dead. Iphone is fine. Macbook will not boot up and charger light doesn't go on. I borrowed another charger and still no luck. What should I do? (Charger wasn't plugged into Macbook until I dried it off.)
Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.
