Iphone not starting up, apple icon fading at start up

My iphone 5 will not turn on, the silver apple icon appears for 5 seconds and then thats it, the screen shuts off. when i plugged the phone into a charger or computer, the silver apple icon will appear and then fades out along with the screen display with some small vertical lines running down through the screen this will occur repeatedly until i unplugged my iphone and shut it off my holding the power button.. hopefully someone can give me some guidance on this issue, thanks!

Hello simmer5555,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. We'll need to isolate this issue to see if it is hardware related. To accomplish this, we'll need to restore the iPhone with a computer running iTunes.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you are unable to do so, please see the following:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Note: Restoring your iPhone will erase all contents, however if you have a previous backup you may be able to restore from it afterwards.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

TS1286 what can I do if I cannot sync with ITUNES as USB is not recognised, iphone is not charging and apple icon displays and then dissapears - loads and then dissapears....?

I started having issues charging my Iphone and found that if it was switched off and on mains power it would charge.
It does not allow syncing with Itunes and or usb conncection.
I have a lot of photos on my phone that I have not been able to save (USB issue) and I am worried about retrieving these.
If my phone is connected to mains power - the apple icon comes on - then it goes off - then a few seconds later the icon comes up again and then off again?
Help please.
Thanks
EJ

You need to do a Force Restore:

HT1267 iphone only showing the apple icon I have done the home button with the sleep to restart it but it's not doing anything

can't locate the serial number the phone only shows the apple icon I charged it. I will only show the apple icon?

If you decide that you want to Restore the iPhone Firmware then. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button for about another 20 seconds, until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. If the iPhone screen is black this is good. Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you get Recovery Mode but the iPhone shows the iTunes screen you can try to Restore, but if it fails, do the instructions again until you get Recovery Mode with black iPhone screen.

Iphone not starting after reset

i have one iphone 3. i choose reset all settings option to remove the numbers, names and other stuff. it said, iphone will take one hour. after doing this, apple sign is continuously on my screen. even i press home and top buttom for minutes, it didnt switch off. its choosing to switch-off with a bling by its own but then immediately apple icon appears. i tried to reconnent it through itunes but nothing worked. even holding the home screen and attaching the cable. many other ways to rectify it but all waste... its not even charging. it shows red mark (battery out) often. trying to figurew out the restoration but nothing helping. could u guys plz help me with this. thanks.

Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

HT1338 What do iPad users use if they do not have the apple icon??

Hi,
I'm trying to get Java onto my iPad, on looking at the following site, it suggests clicking the apple icon at the top of a mac? But I don't have a mac I have an iPad, so how do I do it?

Thank you, in anticipation

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Java is not directly available to install on iOS, the operating system for the iPad.
I'm not sure just what you're looking for.
Do you need Java enabled to use a specific website, such as an education site?
This browser app claims to have Java capability built-in.
I've not used it, so I cannot vouch for whether it works at all or how well it works.

For future reference, you've posted in the Mac OS X forums. (Yes, Mac does support Java in OS X, but the iPad uses iOS, completely different operating system.)

HT201263 Iphone not booting up, apple logo seen intermedantly

Iphone 4S - not booting up
apple logo comes and goes intermedently

Hey, I've got two suggestions for you, one is better than the other. Both are based on personal experience.
Better, but still inconvenient: There is an app that's causing you issues. I had a bad installation of an RSS reader that was causing slowness, reboots, and very, very long backups. When I restored the iPhone, I did so without any apps and lo, the problems were gone. When I reinstalled that app, they came back. I know things are supposed to be walled off and such, but I've seen a number of apps updated to fix a memory leak, and those can cause issues. The app has since been updated and the issue went away.
Second, and more painful: The battery is, in fact, on the way out. Same iPhone, a year later. Battery wasn't holding a charge. Acted a bit like you describe. Stupidly allowed a non Apple certified person do the fix, as he charged less than half of the $2200 Apple wanted. Now I have a 3GS because he botched the repair and Apple got the $200 anyhow.
I hope it's the first, I really do. But that battery is pushing 3 years old, and I'm sure it's been cycled enough times that it's near its end of life. Might want to consider one of the better third party repair shops that will do a diagnostic for free or a nominal fee. Avoid Bubba in the next town over at all costs. I should have.

Official Apple Unlocked iPhone, not supported by Apple

Whilst I was travelling in South East Asia, I needed to purchase a new phone.
I found a supplier of iPhones in Thailand that sold me an Official Apple Unlocked iPhone, it turned out to be an Italian iPhone, again an official Apple one.
I needed an unlocked phone that I could use in many different countries, using local SIM cards.
I have been very happy with the phone, it needed updating to v2 and this did not cause any problems.
I was just speaking with AppleCare about an unrelated issue. at the end of the conversation I mentioned that the only thing about the iPhone that was disappointing about the iPhone was the volume of the speaker phone. The agent took the serial number of the iPhone and put me through to iPhone support.
The iPhone agent then took the serial number again and told me that I had an Italian iPhone, because it was bought in Thailand, support was only available through Thailand, she also told me that using a SIM card other than that of an official carrier voided the warranty.
All this seems a bit restrictive, for people in my position, to buy an Official Apple product and then be denied support defeats the object of sourcing an unlocked product in the first place. I can understand why Apple refuse to support iPhones that are unofficially unlocked, but to deny support for an official product seems grossly unfair.
Anyone else had problems getting Apple to support their own products, any ideas how this situation can be resolved?
Jeremy

Apple clearly states that an iPhone is supported only in the country in which is was officially distributed. If you purchased an Italian-distributed iPhone in Thailand, it was imported and sold against Apple's terms and contracts and so you may indeed have problems getting it serviced since it will not show as being sold in the correct country. Using a SIM from another carrier is also unsupported. The only places in Thailand where can purchase an iPhone that will be supported by Apple in that country are True Move stores or Apple Premium Resellers. See:
http://www.apple.com/asia/iphone/buy/#th
for links to approved locations. Any such iPhone sold will be supported only in Thailand.
At this point you're probably stuck since you have an unofficially-sold iPhone. Your best route will be to sell your current iPhone and purchase one from an official dealer in your country of residence. Do not buy one in any other country (unless you'll be in that country for months or years), whether it's unlocked or carrier-locked, or you'll have the same problem.

Nano hangs on apple icon when turning on. After several restarts, still will not go past Apple icon. Computer doesn't recognize Nano when plugged in.

I tried to connect iPod Nano this morning to sync Podcasts. Keep getting error that device not found.
Restarted Nano and the screen hangs on the Apple icon & doesn't progress.
I restarted one time and looks like I got into a diagnostics program.
Tried to restart while plugged into computer, still doesn't go past Apple icon.
Any idea on how to get Nano to come up fully and connect to computer via iTunes?

My laptop will not turn on. Just lighted up with a circle and a "no" diagonal across the circle. And the
constant 'booting in' icon spinning around and around. Why will it not turn on???

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which laptop do you have?
If it's an iBook, you can choose from this list:

Has the laptop ever started up for you?
