Iphone 5 will not reset
I just bought a iphone from a friend whom upgrade their plan, however I have tried to do a complete reset on it and it goes black like it is going to reset, but it stays like that and I can not turn it off without pressing the lock button and home button at the same time. I the last time I tried it was in the "reset" mode for over an hour. Please help if you can, thanks!

Hi
Have you tried reseting this on your iPhone or via iTunes if iPhone just to be sure you are doing it correct
BEFORE DOING THIS RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS BACKUP YOUR CONTENT ON ITUNES
Once backup is done on your iphone go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All content and settings (Enter your passowrd if u have one) just remember that this removes everythig from your iPhone, then after u have entered
your password them just conform that message thingy that pops up them tap reset all content amd settings the one in red
and now u wait until it boots up again for u to restore or set up as new, it may take a while to reset
depending on how many things u have on your device

IPhone will not reset will not activate
Hi all, I have spent hours trying to upgrade to ios5 on my 3gs now it will not reset or activate tryed on and home buttons .
It simply sounds like you don't have a good cell signal. Take the iPhone to an area with good cell reception and then turn then iPhone off and on again. Once it get a signal then it should activate.
If that doesn't work then take it to the neared store of your cell carrier for activation. -

Hi! I seem to have frozen my iphone. I'm not sure how but it froze and I can't reset or restart it. Any one help?
Hi there Jennas27,
It sounds like your phone is not turning on at all at this point. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article about that kind of an issue. It also has information on reaching out to Apple if needed:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Was using phone to make a call and it just cut out and saying no service, turned phone off and back on and apple logo was on screen. Have tried to reset but still apple logo remains. Have also tried to restore thro itunes but plugged phone in and its not showing on devices?
Please help!!!I don't believe Apple sells the iPhone officially in China, so this iPhone is a hacked iPhone, or is a knock-off or a fake.
The iPhone's firmware or OS includes some default apps which cannot be deleted, but does not include any pre-installed games.
Holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button resets the iPhone, which is similar to a computer restart and does not affect any data or settings. An iPhone reset does not restore the iPhone to factory settings. The only way to restore an iPhone to factory settings is by selecting Restore under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences. This erases the iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version. The iPhone includes an Erase All Content and Settings option, which is not the same as restoring an iPhone with iTunes.
Since this iPhone has either been hacked or is a knock-off or a fake, neither one is supported by Apple. -
3GS iPhone Will not Reset / Restore
I am having a problem restoring 3GS iPhone I do get a Apple start up screen but nothing further. When I attempted to iTunes it says that it's in recovery mode and wants to do something but it never does.
I think it's not completely erased or reset and that's the problem but I don't know.
Any idea out there?Several solutions appear:

Ensure that your iphone is plugged directly into a usb socket on your mac...
Does this help?

Old iPhone will not reset - keeps settings.
Hi Everyone
I have the iPhone 5. Thus, I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod.
I went ahead and reset the old iPhone 3GS.
I then logged into my Apple iTunes account using a DIFFERENT email address. I went to download some apps, and the iPhone 3GS has the same settings as the iPhone 5. In other words, lets say I download Pandora, I would download the Pandora app on iPhone 3GS to have as a "different" phone, yet when I open Pandora it is still signed in as it would be on the iPhone 5.
I have a few social media and dating apps - specifically Grindr - and when I try to download it on my iPhone 3GS, it downloads, but when I open it, it shows the same profile that I have on iPhone 5. If I delete the app from my iPhone 3GS, it is also deleted from the iPhone 5. So its almost like both of the phones are interconnected, and I would like to disconnect them.
Here is what I have tried to do to separate these phones:
Factory re-set my old iPhone 3GS
Make sure that both phones have different iTunes/Apple ID's connected to them, and that the emails are not interconnected.
Sign up for a new Apple ID with a new credit card.
Regardless, both of my phones are acting as if they are on the same account, etc.
I am frustrated, I don't know what to do.
Anyone?I checked and the iCloud accounts are different. I even turned off the iCloud feature on both phones and it is still doing this.
I am signed in under different iTunes accounts for both phones as well. -
my iphone keeps cutting off and now it wont reset itself or turn on any advice
The first step is to evaluate battery seems like it could be the fault. Try to Restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can still take iPhone to Apple for Battery diagnostic testing.

My iPhone will not reset and is no longer recognized in iTunes. Any suggestions?
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work. -
My ipod (version 6.1.3) was connectiong to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my itunes via my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've uplugged my wireless network and reset my network settings etc... nothing seems to work. Please help!
Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
Does the iOS devices see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network. -
My iphone will not turn on.... it froze earlier today and now it will not turn on all i get is a black screen with the apple symbol every once in awhile... also it will not connect to my computer so i can reset it to factory settings
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!

My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Mail on my iphone will not send any messages. I have followed the Apple instructions and still it won't work, even after resetting my iphone. My email provider is BT.
To Avoid Relaying:
If you are sending an email from, say, [email protected], but the return address is [email protected], that is relaying (you are using y.com's servers to send an email where the email "originates" from b.com). Many servers don't allow relaying to prevent spamming.
To make this work go into the email account settings, tap the account "button" that has your email address, go to the Advanced section in "Mail" if there is one, then go to "Outgoing Mail Server", tap it, and then tap "Primary Server", and in the Outgoing Mail Server enter your user name and password. It may say optional, but you need this.
Not all services provide this and the sequence of buttons I describe above may not be exactly the same for each address (look around if different). If you can't set the user name and password, then that email service does not provide a way to get around relaying. -

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

Turn the Phone On...
If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first... -
