I am on my 3rd 5s iphone and they still haven't resolved the issue... they tried to say it's something with my restore on the cloud
Okay, so prove it is or is not a problem with the backup, restore as new.
If the problem goes away, it is a problem with the backup.
If the problem does not go away, it is a hardware issue.

    RESET OUT THE IPHONE IS A BLUE SCREEN, NOT REBOOT NOW OUT FLASHING BLUE SCREEN I CAN NOT USE

    I have not researched further in solving this issue for a couple of months.  Still using my iPhone 6+ 128GB with around 64GB free space, not dare to load more stuff at the risk of reboot loop.  I am still at iOS 8.1.  Anyone know would 8.1.3 solve the issue?  Thanks a lot.

  • My iPhone 5 has blue screen and doesn't turn on

    my iphone has a blue screen for the  last 3 hours and I tried to turn off and turn back on but it doesnt turn on/off> please help

    If you have a backup on iTunes plug into your computer and put into recovery mode.
    When that's done restore the crackup from iTunes. Hope this helps :)

  • Iphone 5s problem, blue screen of death

    So recently my phone started to show visible vertical lines from the bottom of the screen, blue screen of death, white flickering ring around the edges and it freezes and goes through this loop of rebooting.  At first I thought it was a bug so I got the phone to update 8.1 but the problem seemed to have gotten worse from then on.   I did a factory reset sso there's no apps or anything on my phone. Does anyone know any at-homes because my AppleCare warranty just espired.

    Hi,
    1) Background Information
    I am advising based on my similar experiences. I have the same problem and coupled with blue, red screens for the past days. And still trying to find a permanent solution to it. But at least i found a way to "wake" my phone up when it goes into "hibernation" mode! This reply is going to be long, my apology in advance.
    2) My method to wake the phone up:
    * take out the SIM card;
    * leave it a side for about 10mins;
    * plug the phone to charge;
    * hold down the Power button till you see the apple logo, and leave it to re-start.
    PS: if you don't see the apple logo, leave the phone again for another 5-10mins and try all the above again.
    I hope someone has a better and quicker way to do it.
    3) The methods i have tried so far to solve this problem:
    a) Phone reset by holding the Home and Power buttons: It didn't work.
    b) Tried "Recovery Mode"; to restore to factory settings and then restore iPhone with my latest backup: It didn't work.
    c) Now, trying the DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. I hope this will work for me permanently.
    4) Findings from the WEB:
    a) Apparently, quite a substantial number of users facing similar problem. (Apple is still observing...no action. )
    b) Some suggested that it may due to certain apps affecting this random iPhone re-boot issue or and it has a popular term in the web, "Blue Screen Of Death". Therefore try to remember what was the app you last used before it goes into reboot loop.
    c) Some also suggested to remove/deactivate/bypass the auto lock screen function, and also to remove the iCloud syncing,.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone keeps crashing blue screen

    Since I have had my Iphone and upgraded to service pack 2.2.1 every time I plug the iphone into the pc it crashes, blue screen of death or just nothing. I have had the phone wiped three times by me and the apple store still this happens but only it seems if I down load an app from the app store on the iphone, i am now fed up with restoring my phone and it seems I am not alone! Come on Apple!! don't you have enough of our money! help us. I have service pack 3 on the PC, and of interest my ipod mini works fine no problems at all in itunes, it's just the iphone. Please help.. Oh and have tried the web camera thing as well and I have not hacked my iphone either.

    I have had this problem as well, that with any photos on my iphone as soon as I connect to laptop it crashes. I do not have any logitech software. My laptop is a Acer Travelmate 6460 and has a built in webcam but I have uninstalled this & still crashes. Strange thing is I have an older Acer laptop and this does not crash.
    I have done everything I have seen on discussion forums etc but now getting very frustrated as I have to email the photos off my phone then delete them.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • IPhone 5c 16gb Blue screen and rebooting

    My iphone 5c, running on 7.1.2 has recently (after 4months of having it) started showing the blue screen of death and then rebooting. There is no pattern as to when this happens - completely random! I also went to it once and it had turned off on it's own and took a while to turn back on when I attempted to! Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you.

    Hello Sarahlp92
    For random issues wit shut downs, check out the first article and the quote section below. One thing to keep in mind is to back up as you may need to restore your iPhone. 
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    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.

  • IPhone Crashes PC (Blue Screen) Because Of Pictures in Roll Film

    A previous thread has been locked...but I have a similar problem...so I have copied this in the hope that someone has solved this...
    THE PROBLEM:
    My query is regarding the synchronization of the iPhone with a PC.
    WHAT HAPPENS:
    When I connect my iphone to my PC the message appears on a pop up "Digital Camera" then a few seconds later the BSOD blue screen appears and my PC crashes.
    WHAT IT IS:
    I have done some research into this and found out that it is when you have pictures in the 'camera roll' folder. So I took advice and deleted all my pictures in the 'camera roll' folder and sure enough the pop up didn't appear and my PC didn't crash and it synced with itunes perfectly.
    WHAT I'VE TRIED:
    I have tried as on the apple website they recommended, I looked for all other imaging software and drivers installed on my PC and uninstalled them. This didn't resolve my problem it still popped up saying "digital camera" and then my PC crashed.
    HOW I HAVE STOPPED IT AT THE MOMENT:
    At the moment i have managed to stop my PC crashing when pictures are in the 'camera roll' folder and stopped my PC recognizing it as a digital camera. I did this by:
    1. Open up the manage section of 'My Computer'
    2. Clicking on device manager
    3. Plugging the iphone into the dock
    4. Waiting for it to appear under 'cameras and scanners' section in the device manager.
    5. Wen it appears right clicking the iPhone and choosing disable
    The icon that appears and i disable in this section is the 'windows scanner and camera wizard' which makes me think it could be this which is causing it.
    MY FINAL PROBLEM NOW:
    I don't know how to get my photo's off the iPhone since i have disabled the thing i would use to get them.
    Please try and tell me what i can do to either fix this problem or another method to get the pictures off my iPhone.
    P.S. I HAVE DONE AS APPLE SUGGEST AND UNINSTALL ALL OTHER IMAGING SOFTWARE.
    ADDITONAL INFO:
    From the previous thread, this seems to be a problem primarily with the ACER laptops.
    Please can anyone advise??
    Thanks

    Mine worked! I downloaded the Acer Orbicam (Logitech) File and installed it and when the iphone is plugged in it comes up as iphone #2.. and doesn't crash.. Works great! The link above is for my model laptop.. not sure which one you have but this file worked for me..

  • IPhone 6 128GB Blue Screen, Random restarts/crashes

    Alright, i noticed this the day i bought my iPhone 6. Ten minutes of it being in my hand, i got a blue screen and my phone reset itself. Throughout the day it did it about 7 more times. It does this everyday. I have brought it to AT&T and told them i want a one for one swap since I'm still within my 14 day grace period but they have none in stalk, and i don't want to send it to apple because then i know that they would be giving me a refurbished unit. Im not into that, if i bought a new phone, i expect it to remain a new phone. I have tried multiple resets, backups and restores and even setting up as a new iPhone. GFU mode didn't work either. Any help or do i need a new unit in general? It did this in both IOS 8 and IOS 8.0.2. My 5S i gave my beautiful wife never did any of this.

    Your phone is defective. I struggled for a week trying to get  my Verizon iPhone 6 to backup to iTunes issues (app backup would crash iTunes) and the phone would randomly freeze, give a blue screen and reboot several time when clicking on apps like Facebook. I went to Verizon, who referred me to an Apple Store. The folks at Apple looked at the event log on the phone, and replaced it on the spot, no questions asked. The tech told me that several batches of the Iphone 6 Plus had these  same issues, though my IPhone 6 64gb was the first he had seen with bad hardware and/or corrupted hardware.  Save your frustration-go directly to an Apple Store and get a new phone

    The issue is not a conflict with imaging software but with older webcam, camera drivers. Most of the time older logitech drivers are causing this.

    Did you ever have a logitech web camera or built-in webcamera on this computer?
    If so, download the latest driver from logitech and install it.
    Essentially the driver, which may have been left behind when you uninstalled the applications in Add/remove programs, is attempted to tell your computer to treat the iPhone like a device it isn't.
    Hope this helps,

  • Blue screen with black circle in upper right corner

    My Mac froze. I tried rebooting and now it won't boot past the blue screen. I have a mouse pointer and there is a small black circle with three smaller blue dots inside of it in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Clicking on it does nothing.
    I tried booting in safe mode but it wouldn't boot past the galaxy screen. Again, I had a mouse pointer but nothing more.
    I've tried booting from the OS disc that came with the computer. It sounds like the disc is running but nothing ever happens.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Run through this list of fixes, you can't use a previous OS X install disk to fix a later OS X version on the machine.

  • IPhone 6 plus blue screen and reboot

    when I'm using a certain app my iPhone 6 plus crashes a blue screen appears and then reboots. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    My iPhone 6+ 128GB has been working perfectly for 4 weeks until I loaded 20K photos on it this morning which pushed the usage to over 60GB. Then I had the first terrible crash in the evening while playing a song via my car audio and it entered an indefinite reboot loop.  Finally I managed to shut it down.  After turning it back on, i took out 20K photos, sync it, so the usage falls below 50GB; now it works perfectly.  I did not have to fall back to factory setting.  The backup on my Macbook works perfectly.  Both apps and data on the phone are intact.  So I guess as long as you don't cross the 60GB boundary, it works.
    It seems related to flash memory as many suspected.  So I don't think getting a new one at this time with the same flash memory architecture would solve this.  I guess we will need to wait for the recall!!!

  • Iphone upgrade has crashed my Iphone and causes blue screen error on PC

    I just tried to upgrade my software and half way through my PC crashed. It said a blue screen error had occurred.
    Itunes now shows that my phone needs to be restored, but everytime I try to do my PC crashes again. This has now happened three times in 1 hour. I have Itunes v.8.0 on my pc but this hasnt been a problem till now. I am so angry that I have lost everything on my phone due to a problem like this. Can anyone advise how I can restore my phone without totally killing my laptop?

    With the blue screen it can be a few things that are interifering with it. First thing unplug anything from the usb ports on your computer and if you have like a logtech webcam make sure it is unplugged and also that if it is built in disable the driver. If you are on a pc you may want to go into device manager and update your usb drivers on your computer.

    Can anybody help me? I dropped my phone and I just get a blue screen I can't turn it on now! What should I do?
