Iphone doesn't stay on when powered on

My iPhone will not power on.  The only way to have it come on and just for a few seconds, is to press the home and the power buttons at the same time.  Is there a solution to this problem?

Hello BrookieLove,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone is turning off on its own please follow the steps below.
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,

    I have just finished the upgradation to an iOS 6.1.3 and have lost sound in Music and Videos. I am using an iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't produce sound when playing Youtube or local camera videos. However ringtones and notifications sound works fine.It is quite strange as well. Have you encountered this issue before?If yes then what's the solution?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Flash player doesn't stay maximized when muted

    I searched for this bug on the forums but every thread included a staff member saying "this is a known issue see this bug report" but that bug report got closed without getting fixed....

  • IMac display doesn't stay asleep when hot corner activated

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem mentioned in this archived thread from three years ago:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1323073?start=0&tstart=0
    I have an Intel 27" iMac that I bought brand new last year. I have a hot corner set to sleep the display, but after it's activated it usually comes back on after a few seconds. It's really frustrating.
    If it's just mouse jitters (I have the wireless Magic Mouse that came with the iMac), I don't understand why the hot corner area is so small. It seems like it's just a pixel large. Is there any way to make the hot corner area bigger so the mouse has to be moved a wider distance to come out of the hot corner?
    Or if it's certain programs activating the display, how do I figure out which programs are doing it and is there any way to prevent all programs from doing that? If I'm choosing to sleep my display, I want it to stay that way and I don't want it to come on even if I have an iCal reminder.

    How can you be sure? It may be some system operation that's doing it.
    This may also prevent the display from sleeping, but the next time you're doing this you might launch Activity Monitor and order the process list by CPU. Then when the display wakes up, note what processes (besides the DVD encoding software) are using non-trivial amounts of CPU time.

  • TS4062 Want to sync iphone4 with wi-fi, but doesn't stay 'checked' when itunes re-opened.  What's wrong?

    Want to sync new iphone4 sing wi-fi.  Connecting by cable & opening iTunes, I checked "sync this device with wi-f", I then did a sync.  Ejecting iphone4 and disconnecting cable, I lose iphone4 as a listed device, and reviewing iTunes Summary when iphone4 re-connected by cable I find "sync this device with wi-fi now Unchecked?  What is wrong?

    I forgot to click on Apply!
    However, even though 'sync by wi-fi remains on, the iphone4 is never listed on iTunes devices unless cabled, and wi-fi can't sync the iphone.
    Help?

  • Iphone won't stay in Airplane mode after connecting to some accessories

    I've observed that the iphone doesn't stay in airplane mode after I connect it to a Kenwood KCA-iP500 adapter for Kenwood head units. Here's the story.
    After I connect the iphone to the iP500, the iphone pops up with a message that says the attached accessory is not compatible with the iphone. It further asks me if I want turn on airplane mode. I choose to activate airplane mode, and I assume it turns on airplane mode. After my drive I disconnect the iphone from the ip500, and I observe that the iphone comes out of airplane mode automatically.
    The use of airplane mode is crucial for me because I work in a Mexican border town and I want to avoid data roaming charges. I manually put the phone in airplane mode, put it into standby mode and went about my business. Some time later I went back to the home screen and noticed that the phone was trying to register to a phone network. I kept trying to keep it in airplane mode but it kept coming out by itself.
    I'm guessing that the feature that temporarily activates airplane mode and then automatically deactivates it when the accessory is disconnected keeps it out of airplane mode.
    The good news is turning the phone off and then back on fixes the problem.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.
