Iphone not recognized or starting up - white screen as well.

My iphone was working after i had dropped it a couple hours ago but when i got home and plugged it into my computer it wasn't recognized by itunes. So i decided to reset it and when i tried to turn it back on it got stuck on the apple logo for quite some time before i decided to reboot it again. This time it got past the apple logo only to flash a mix of colors on the screen then go into white screen.
I decided to go into recovery mode and see if that worked unfortunately that didnt do anything of help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
At this point in time I have an appointment at the Apple Store tmw afternoon and I am running recovery mode once more to see if it helps.
Edit After second recovery, i got the globe and the "emergency call" thing. but after about 10seconds it locked up, restarted its self and is doing the same thing as before the recovery. Looks like i may have to go in tmw unless someone can help.

Sorry, but there is nothing else anyone here can provide to resolve this. It sounds like the drop caused some hardware damage.

    I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

  • HT1414 iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

    iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

    My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1.  My wife's iphone 5 had no issues.  I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports.  Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone.  Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device".  Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side.  My wife's works both ways.  I can't explain it, but there it is.  I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes any more

    iTunes 9.0.2 on a 2006 iMac 2GHz intel duo running OSX 10.5.8
    iPhone 3Gs 32 gig
    iPod (5th gen)
    3 external hard drives, all the iTunes library stored on a Mybook 1 TB Firewire drive plugged into iMac direct, not via a Firewire hub.
    I plugged my iPhone into the Mac this am, tried to sync the iPhone and got an error message saying that something was wrong with my iTunes.
    Mac then froze.
    Finally got the Mac back up after five attempts (eventually, had to unplug everything, including the mains to the iMac, plug in just the power, keyboard and mouse, press and hold power switch for 5 secs then plug in each extra drive when the Mac came back up).
    Found something seriously wrong with iTunes as it wouldn't open when clicked on (Force Quit reported app frozen).
    Deleted iTunes using AppZap then downloaded iTunes from Apple website.
    iTunes now back up on iMac but can't find any of the music files (even when I carefully repoint the iTunes to the correct location for the iTunes library by iTunes/Preferences/Advanced then Change iTunes Media Folder Location). Each entry in the iTunes library now has a black exclamation mark against it,
    Also, iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in.
    Also, when I plug in my iPod, get the error message "The iPod is synced with anotehr iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
    HELP!
    By the way, I have TIME MACHINE running to a separate and dedicated HD. Can I not just "roll back" my iMac in the same way I could do with a PC, say selecting the iMac when it was last working fine (yesterday evening)??
    Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for an answer....

    Rather than create another "iPhone not recognized by iTunes" thread, I'll add to this one. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB.
    After going through those steps you listed, my Windows XP installation always reverts back to the old Windows Apple iPhone drivers which only sees it as a camera. I've had it set to only pull from the iTunes drivers by specifying "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" in the Hardware Update Wizard. Windows still doesn't like the iTunes drivers stating "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". This location is the same as you noted: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" which contains:
    usbaapl.cat
    usbaapl.inf
    usbaapl.sys
    All dated 7/22/2008.
    My current drivers for the iPhone in my setup are still the MS drivers, version 5.1.2600.0.
    usbscan.sys
    ptpusb.dll
    ptpusd.dll
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes after update

    I recently downloaded & installed the latest update for iTunes and it actually removed iTunes and put and extra (& useless) shortcut for quicktime in my desktop. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled iTunes and quicktime with nor problem. I hooked up the iPhone and downlaoded the latest update for it as well and it crashed during the installation of it. I have since had to reboot on my roomates pc and it will not be come up in iTunes. My computer still recognizes it though. I have gone through all the steps in apples site and microsoft and have no clue what to do now. I use this thing all day every day and need the music and video capablities for "work" purposes. If anyone can help, thanks.

    Symptoms:
    iPhone not recognized by iTunes on Windows computer, however an iPod will.
    The iPhone CAMERA appears in windows My Computer - but nowhere else.
    Problem:
    The Apple iPhone Driver has been replaced by a Microsoft Driver which enables the camera/storage, but did not allow it to connect with iTunes.
    SOLUTION:
    From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver", Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.

  • Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc?

    Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • My iPhone 3G is suddenly displaying a white screen... otherwise, it's unresponsive.

    My iPhone 3G is suddenly displaying a white screen... otherwise, it's unresponsive.  I can't turn it off/on.  It just charged all night and the alarm woke me up.  I updated my contacts, check my email, then the white screen.  I'd appreciate help with this.  Thx.

    My problem has been resolved thanks to suggestions!  :-)  I first tried to reboot by simultaneously holding the power and home buttons.  That didn't work initially so, I tried the second suggestion which was to resync from iTunes.  After that, the white screen went away but, the iPhone was completely dark and unresponsive.  I then tried the reboot again and this time, it worked!  Thanks again for the help!  :-)

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes, but listed in "My Computer"

    Hi,
    I have exhaustively searched the other threads as well as Apple support. I am running Vista 32-bit. I just received a replacement phone and I have literally never had so much as a hiccup recognizing, syncing, etc. on my laptop which is the only computer I have ever used with an iPhone. When I plug in my new phone initially, a pop up appears stating that Device driver is being installed. It will then appear in "My Computer" as a camera, but does not appear in iTunes.
    I have un-installed and re-installed iTunes.
    I have un-installed and re-installed the driver for iPhone. When I go to the device manager and attempt to install device driver manually, the message appears "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to intall it. The phone is recognized on my desktop computer and my iPod is recognized on my laptop. So I am assuming it must be something that is setup on my computer that I need to delete,modify, add, etc. Please someone help.

I have the most current ITunes and IPhone versions, I have tried different USB cables and different USB ports with the same result. The IPhone will still be listed as a camera in My Computer but not recognized by ITunes. If I unplug the IPhone and plug it back in, ITunes will recognize it again but drop it after about a minute.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    It sounds to me like it could be something to do with some power saving mode you have on your computer, such as screen saver or some other power saving mode. Do you have a laptop or desktop PC? as I am more inclined to think that a laptop might cause it if it were running on battery.
    The power saving modes/screen saver etc should be in the Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Power Options. In the power options box, have a look around in here and temporarily switch off the screen saver, and adjust the various power option values for the various parts of your computer, to the maximum length/or switch that option off so that it isnt used. After these adjustments, restart your computer and load iTunes up and see if the problem remains.
    I never put my iPhone in airplane mode when syncing and I have never had your problem. But if my suggestion doesn't work, then it might be worth trying Piperox13 suggestion.

  • Starts with white screen and apple logo

    After a software update (or during an update) my apple ipod touch does not start up any more.
    It starts with the apple logo and after a while the screen turns white or blue and thats it.
    Sometimes (after a reset) it starts looping apple logo ,  white screen, apple logo and so on.
    Is not recognized in itunes.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPad does not display anything !! (white screen)

    Hey,
    I have a strange problem with my iPad(16GB WiFi). It turns on but the screen turns white (nothing display… Not even Apple logo)!!
    It responds to my interaction … For instance, I can slide to unlock it (of course, I cannot see it but I know where it is located)
    I try to restore it through iTunes, it did but it does not fix the problem !!
    In other words, everything is working but you cannot see anything on the screen.
    Please help !!??

    Searching broadly through discussion areas, such as Safari, iPhone, Mac, etc. getting a white screen is common. Apparently this can happen while logged into sites such as Google. Apple seems not to know or care about this issue, since no one from Apple answers any of these messages.
    I managed to bring back Safari from the dead by going to iPad Settings for Safari and cleaning out Cache, Cookies, History. Don't know why this helped.
    Am wondering what would happen if I downloaded Firefox to my iPad and started using it instead. Firefox has worked wonderfully on my other machines - Mac Pro at work, Windows 7 at home.

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes, won't stay Off, etc

    My iPhone started giving me an error message yesterday (happens about every 30 mins or so) that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone"
    The problem is nothing is connected to the iPhone! Additionally, whenever I connect the phone to my comp, iTunes fails to recognize it. So I can't do a Restore. In fact, it appears that the iPhone doesn't realize it is plugged in.
    I was able to charge it from the wall charger last night, so I am pretty sure the connector "works."
    Is there a way to reset the phone without using iTunes?
    (Yes, I am the original owner. No, it is not jailbroken.)
    Thanks!

If I remove the airport card then itunes recognizes the iphone. I have the original phone with the 2.01 update. I'm stumped.
