IPhone is frozen. Screen does not register sliding movements.

Recently my iPhone has not been working. First it is not registering my movements, as in the sliding/pressing of my finger is not working. I tried to restart it by pressing the turn off/on button as well as the home button at the same time and now it is stuck on the sign off screen with the red slider. I cannot get it off this screen and the screen stays on. I tried hooking my iPhone up to my PC to restore it in iTunes but my PC does not register that my iPhone is connected (the icon does not appear), therefore I cannot restore it. I've tried what I can to attempt to get it to work with no avail. There's no way for me to fix the issue that I know of if the phone will not cooperate by itself or with my PC. If anyone has a solution to this problem please let me know, I may just have to go to the Apple Store if not.

Hello there, inhoc478.
The following Knowledge Base article has some great information on how to restore your iPhone from a locked state:

  • What if the right hand side of my screen does not register touch?

    what do I do if the right hand side of my screen does not register touch? I'm out of warranty also, what options do I have?

    If part of the screen is not touch sensitive, and you have tried power off/on and reset, the best option is a visit to an Apple genius bar to have the techs check and see what is wrong with the screen and touch circuitry.

  • Left and right side of screen does not register mouse clicks.

    The left and right side of my screen (when maximized) does not register a mouse click. I would estimate about 10 to 15 pixels in (top to bottom) before a button will register a click.
    If I work with in firefox not maximized everything works fine. As it stands I have had to add buttons to the left and right side of my Firefox navigation area to utilize the back and home button. I am also not able to use my scroll bar do to this situation with out connecting an external mouse.
    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
    Resolution 1280x800
    Computer: HP TouchSmart tm2 (1070us series)
    This laptop does have the touchpad type mouse, I do not think this is the problem though as it will work if firefox is not maximized.
    Assistance with this would be appreciated. I Love firefox but this is to much of an annoyance to deal with continually.

    Not sure if its ever overheated... I've never left it in a hot car if thats what you mean. Sometimes it gets very hot if I'm using EDGE for a while. I don't push hard which is why I don't think I caused it...
    I will bring it in this weekend and see what they say.
    I also think that the speakerphone sounds fuzzy and muffled a lot more than it did when I first bought it. So just another reason to bring it in.

  • Portion of my iphone's tuch screen does not response?

     

    If a portion of the screen does not respond to the touch, you probably need to visit a genius bar and have them check it out for you.

  • My Iphone 4 (ios 7) does not register any wifi network

    ive tried everything all my other devices connect to the home wifi fine so why wont it???

    The freezer really works people!!
    My 4S couldnt detect any networks today.
    With little time i found the freezer idea on the forums, i thought it was BS to be honest.
    But i tried the whole airplane mode and network reset and nothing worked so i tried  the freezer.
    Ziploc bag and left it in the freezer for 30 mins with 20% battery life. When I pulled it out it was dead so hooked it up to the charger, waited for the chagre and no success on the wifi. So yah i thought BS.
    So then I followed all the other apple care steps such as backing up the phone, erasing the phone. But even when the phone was erased it couldnt detect any networks. So i restored the phone from itunes and still no wifi.
    Then I read a key note on the forums about the freezing.
    They said turn the wifi off and cool for 10-15 mins
    So iphone being charged now after the back up and restore i tried the freezer again.
    15 mins in ziploc bag with wifi off and full battery and behold!
    I finally detected networks again!!
    Good Luck!

  • IPhone 5 touch screen does not respond when laid flat on a table. What do I do?

    I just started noticing this when a friend sent me a text and I was unable to "slide to unlock" the screen to reply. I tried swiping through the apps, up and down, left and right--every gesture that an iPhone was built to detect. Even the assistive touch didn't respond! What's interesting now is that whenever I pick up the phone and it's no longer lying 180º on a table, it responds normally. Should I be worried?

    I wouldn't be "worried" but it warrants a trip to the genius bar I would think.

    IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem clean charging port again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
    Thanks! It worked just fine!

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • HT1553 my macbook pro is frozen and does not move from loading screen. Can you help?

  • My iphone 5s screen does not lock whilst a call is in progress

    My iphone 5s has probs whilst calling the screen doesnt lock
    Is this proximity sensor or a setting?

    The iPhone screen shouldn't necessarily lock while you are in the phone call, it should however go to sleep while you have it up against your ear.  Is that what you mean?
    If this is what you mean and you think that there is an issue with the proximity sensor I would recommend playing a voicemail on your phone and instead of holding it up to your ear, putting your finger over the upper speaker.  If the screen does not darken then there could very well be something wrong with it. 
    Make sure first however that the area is cleaned and uncovered, just to be sure.

  • Is it possible to lock the camera so the screen does not respond to touch?  Everything else works but camera screen seems frozen.

    My camera screen acts like it is locked.  Everything else on the phone is fine and I only have fourteen photo's on the phone, one day it worked and the next day the screen does not respond.  Have I done something?
