If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
Have a nice day,

HT1222 iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

My iphone 3G won't turn on after I installed fonts

My iphone 3G won't turn on and it just stuck on apple logo then loading then turn off then that apple logo appears again .Please help me to fix this problem

As I thought, which means your iPhone has been hacked, which is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions. You need to contact whoever you downloaded the garbage from that allowed you to hack your iPhone and/or the garbage fonts for support with this.

IPhone 4 won't turn on after iOS 6 upgrade

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 it won't turn on. The apple logo keeps flashing on a black screen - as it does when it's about to load, then never does load. What to do?

Hold down Power on/off and home button at same time, when apple logo appears again release.
If still have same problem force recovery mode restore with iTunes, set up as new first making sure phone goes to home screen.
If all good - restore from back up
good luck...

My Iphone 4S doesn't turn on after IOS 7 updates

Hei guys,
I have an iphone 4S. Few days before the release of IOS7 I managed to download the beta version to my iphone. Everything was going fine until the first update of IOS7. It shuted up completelly. I manage to make it alive again, but today, it got ran out of battery and now I can't turn it on any more. I tried quite a few things. My Itunes recognizes the iphone when I plug it onto my computer, however, everytime I press the hold buttom, it doens't turn on. I've tried holding home and hold buttom as well, but everything I have is a weird screen with a big sort of finger print white in the middle of a black screen.
Do you guys know what I can do in order to solve the problem? I've restored and resetted the iphone as well, but it insists in not turning on.
Thank you guys for your attention
Leandro

Iphone 3gs does not turn on after ios 6 update

After the ios6 update, my iphone 3gs does not turn on. I see the apple logo, after a minute, it boots again and i see the logo again. This process seems to continue like a circle. After a search the net, i see that i am not the only one. A quick fix and suggestions please, as i need my phone of course.
Btw, Apple, i know that this is an old hardware and i will buy the new iphone 5 when it is available here in my country in December. But of course, you claşmed this update supports my 3gs, you should immediately find a fix
Regards..

Well, i don't see an another solution possible; you should try again and again to restore. Btw, my phone seemed to operate strange (even the stock mail app began to crash) so i tried hard reset (home button + sleep/wake button until seeing the apple logo). After that i found my phone again in dfu mode this night so began restoring again now.
It seems that apple didn't tested ios6 enough with the 3GS. I have a 32 GB phone so this will be near 60 gb download from the icloud over my broadband connection.

My MacBook Pro won't turn on after the new update.

I left my MacBook Pro out and open for it to update and install the new software. When it finished, I connected my iPhone 5s with the laptop via the USB cable. And it completely shut down. And it won't turn on, restart, nor charge.

Did you try this?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Apple TV won't turn off after 2.2 update

I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem after the new update.
After updating to the new 2.2 software......I am now unable to turn the device off. I used to just hold the center button down for 5-6 seconds and it would turn off. I didn't want to leave it on all the time since I only use it once or twice a week. But now.......doing the same thing has no effect on it at all. Is this happening to anyone else ? I know a lot of people just leave it on all the time, and I guess I could do that as well. Hahaha.......... seems I don't have any choice now. Is this a new feature that comes with the 2.2 software ?

Because of Genius and another feature, the ability to put the AppleTV into standby has changed. Either you can go to the main menu and press Play/Pause for 6 seconds (like you used to, but only works from main menu), or you can go into Settings where there is a new StandBy option that can be selected.

Ipad 3 won't turn on after ios 6 update

Hi everyone,
I'm at a loss! My Ipad 3 was working fine, and while fully charged I updated to ios 6. Everything worked fine and I was thrilled. While at work, I turned the Ipad off, and now it won't turn back on. I've tried resetting, I've tried holding down the power and home buttons (repeatedly, and for long time periods), and I've tried to restore it using my itunes but my computer now doesn't recognize the device when I plug in the USB. but I never see any reaction by the device. No icons on the screen, no apple logo, no nothing... I updated itunes, still the same problem. So, for the life of me, this fully charged relatively new working fine 64G Gen 3 Ipad just won't turn on. Any additional ideas before I dare to go in the crowded apple store for assistance?
Thanks, Hollie

Try this...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

MacBook (Mid 2009) won't turn on after installing software updates.

My macbook white (mid 2009) won't turn on. I was going to install mountain lion so I performed a software update. I click install and reboot. It installed within a few minutes, but when it was rebooting the apple logo and the buffering sign popped up, and that went on over night. So I held down the power button to turn it off. It did the same thing, what should I do?

Not the right time to update and go to sleep. What updates? How much free space was on the hard drive?
Try inserting the OS installer disk in the optical drive and powering up holding down the c key.

IPhone 4 Won't Turn On After Application Crash

I have a 32 GB iPhone 4, which I got on a data plan in late October, and has been working fine until now. I was playing around with an application (Hipstamatic), and the app kept crashing, finally after the 2nd or 3rd time, the screen went completely blank, and since then it has not responded to anything, iTunes won't recognize it, I tried the home button, power button reset procedure, nothing. I cleaned the phone with disinfectant about 15-20 minutes before, would that have anything to do with it? I often clean my phone, without any problems, I just hope I haven't shorted the **** thing out. I called it from another phone but couldn't get through. It has never been jailbroken.

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn off your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone to turn off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

IPhone 3G Won't Turn On After OS 4.0 Update

A little background about my iPhone 3G to help you guys out -- the sleep/wake button hasn't worked in a few months, so if, say, Safari freezes, I let the battery die out to restart my phone. A major pain, I know.
Tonight I decided to update through iTunes to the OS 4.0. It seemed as if everything was going well, but after about an hour of backing up and installing, my phone is now permanently turned off seeming to have never restarted from the update. To make matters worse, it is no longer recognized by iTunes or my PC. As stated, the sleep/wake button doesn't work so a hard reset or restore is physically impossible. Does anyone have suggestions on how to restore the phone back to the previous OS?
I'm currently trying to reinstall iTunes as I type this.

After several hours of various numerical error messages, freezing loop, iTunes not recognizing the 3G, rebooting the computer (iMac), hard resets, etc, I forced it off and went to bed. Today I found that while iTunes still would not recognize the phone as it would normally, it did when I unplugged and then plugged in the phone. The phone was then restored ( 4.0 was obviously installed last night and then went into a loop). I refused backup, restored OS, but did not continue to restore from back up. The phone is now operational and synced via mobile me, however no apps than system. Based on the latter I will not allow iTunes to restore my backup until this problem is resolved. Some of the said apps are used for business, but I have the iPad to sync them with in the interi.
