IPhone appears dead

My phone appears dead. There is no activity on the screen. Nothing happens when I hold down the power and home buttons. There is no response to being charged by my computer or outlet. I took the SIM card out and put it back in. Still no activity. Is there a way to get the phone working again? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Connect it to the wall charger for 30 minutes. Remove, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for at least 10 seconds. An Apple logo should appear and the phone should reboot.
If it doesn't the battery may be bad, the cable may be bad, the charger may be bad, or the phone may be bad. So eliminate the ones you can; try a different cable and different charger. If it's still dead take it to an Apple store (make an appointment first) or toss it and get an iPhone 4.

Iphone 3 dead after restore?

Why is my iphone 3 dead after a restore and update?

Define "dead."
Did you try resetting> - press both home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

HT1476 My iPhone is dead and won't recharge. The outlet works.

Hi. Yesterday my iphone went dead. I tried to recharge it with the car charger. No dice. Then at home. No dice. I tried putting the plug in diffferent ways. Nothing. The outlet works. What's wrong with this thing?

Hey Artichoke25!
I have an article for you here that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

My Iphone won't show up in My Computer and it won't show up in Itunes. How do I fix this? It's just mine. My friends and her moms Iphones appear in both spots so it's not the cord. Help!

. How do I fix this? It's just mine. My friends and her moms Iphones appear in both spots so it's not the cord. Help! I've tried uninstalling and redownloading Itunes. That didn't work. I've reset my iphone numerous times. Turned it off and back on. Restarted my computer. Deleted everything off of it and restored it from backup. It works on my friends computer perfectly fine but it won't work on mine. I've tried everythign that the Apple troubleshooter said to do and none of it worked. I need to get it figured out soon because I only have tonight.

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

Photos taken from iPhone appears upside down in windows explorer

Photos taken from my iPhone appears upside down in windows explorer....

Hi The problem I think ou are experiencing is because of the way you turn the phone to take pics. With the phone vertical (home button at the bottom) the pics you take will appear the right way up in all applications, the problem will occur when you hold the phone horizontally. If you hold the phone with the home button to the right the pics you take will appear the right way up in all applications, if you hold the phone with the home button to the left the pics will appear the right way up in the camera roll and some other apps that understand the iphone camera rotation but in other apps (iphoto and windows explorer are two) these photos will appear upside down.
Hope this helps
Doug

Can you send an SMS on iMessage on a Mac if your iPhone is dead?

Can you send an SMS on iMessage on a Mac if your iPhone is dead?

No, only Messages to other devices with the Apple Messages app. With Continuity the Mac sends the SMS to the phone via wifi/BT and the phone actually sends it.

Try using a differnt USB cord. Or hold down the power/home button together for 10 to 15 sec or until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for your phone to boot back up.

HT201317 On a recent vacation, only some of my photos taken on iPhone appeared in photo stream on my iPad but not all, why?

On a recent vacation only some of my photos take on iPhone appeared in photo stream on iPad but not all why?

TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

TS1538 I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and myApple Iphone appears in Portable Devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it.

I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and my Apple Iphone appears in Portable Devices only, not in Universal devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. My Iphone is still not recognized by Itunes when I plug it in. I can see my photos in the internal storage folder on my Windows 7 system though. So I know my PC sees the device. The Iphoneis an Iphone 4 with IOS 6 installed. It was working fine until I had to reinstall my Windows system. Now Itunes does not see it. I've uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled it (64bit) to no avail. Where is the Driver folder article TS1538 talks about?

Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Distribution appears dead!

Does anyone know what the error message "Distribution appears dead!" means?
I have several distributions applied to several servers. They are set to
refresh hourly. All of them worked perfectly at one time, but now each
distribution is returning this error message for some, but never the same
servers.
For example:
Distribution 1 (inventory policy) reports the error on servers a,b, and c.
Distribution 2 (file distribution) reports the error on servers d, e, and
f.
Distribution 3 (file distribution) returns the error on servers g, h, and
i.
I've checked the KB, but found no reference to this error message.
Thank you for your assistance.
