Iphone shows apple but wont turn on.

I turned off my 1st generation IPhone this morning (dont do that often). Ive been trying to turn it back on for about an hour and I can only get the apple to come on for about a minute then it dissapears but thats it, the phone doesn't boot up. Ive never had any kind of issue before. I tried holding the two buttons and just the one but aside from the Apple coming on for a minute or so nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Well I kinda did a mix of everything you advised except rebooting my computer. At the end of the day I left it connected to the computer, held the sleep and home buttons down for 10 seconds at a time, did this in succession about 5 times before it finally went into recovery mode and I could restore it. Thank you for your time and help Lawrence!

MY IPHONE IS CHARGING BUT WONT TURN ON

this happened the day before yesterday, i was really tired that night so i left my iphone 5 (2 years old) to sleep overnight. And i woke up and looked at my phone and it was out of battery (shows low battery sign) so i charged it as soon as i saw whats happening. Then i was minding my own business until i noticed that maybe my iphone is already on by now. so i gave my iphone a press on the home button and i still see the low battery sign on my screen. This is not my first time happening for me so i thought it'll open up eventually in an hour or 2 then i waited patiently for the WHOLE DAY. Then to my freaking surprise, its still showing the low battery sign. Up until now, its still showing that.
I have known my iphone for having a really really bad battery life and its the worst that an iphone can get. it drains battery so much in a short amount of time and it needs to be charged every night during i sleep. Well i thought this will happen because my iphone is almost full of storage and its 2 years old now. BUT I NEVER THOUGHT A WHOLE DAY WOULD NOT WAKE MY PHONE UP.
I am freaking out right now because i have 2 phones and the phone that is having problems right now has my whole data in there and me being a complete idiot for not backing up my data onto my other phone if i take it to the apple store, they'll just reset my iphone and erase my whole data.
i am freaking out right now.
SO PLEASE YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME PLEASE.

Hi rei-nxx,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be both frustrating and concerning when your iPhone is not charging as expected. In this situation there may be a few different steps I would suggest to troubleshoot. Please review the If the battery doesn’t charge section of the attached article for these steps.

Have a great day,

My iPhone 5 is charging but wont turn on even with the hard reset and restore. Keeps showing low battery. HELP PLEASE

My iPhone 5 shows it's charging but wont turn on even with the hard reset and restore. Just keeps showing low battery. HELP PLEASE
I usually sleep with my phone on charge through the night and I haven't had any problem since, I left my iphone 5 charging last night and in the morning it stated 100% charged so I decided to turn the power off normally (Hold the hold button till it says slide to turn power off) I turned it off and suddenly my iphone went straight to low battery. Although I have been having weird battery percentage changes for example it would stay on 1 % for an hour or so or drain really quickly.
I have restored it as i thought was the thing to do all it's doing it restoring and still stating low battery and I have charged it for hours +. I can't hard reset it nor restore it NEED HELP PLEASE.
Most Apprieciated.

You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

I updated my Apple Tv and now the light flashes, but wont turn on

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

HT4528 My phone says its charging all the time but wont turn on

My phone says its charging but wont turn I have it plugged in all day long and it just continues to show the low battery on the front! About every 6hours it will turn on for 5 minutes then shut right back off! Idk what's going on please help! All the support things on here want my serial number but obviously I cant get to it since my phone wont turn on!!

Hello Monica121,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the phone will not boot or load up even after being given sufficient time to charge.
I had a couple of recommendations for this issue:
First reset the device with this procedure.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, then I would try these steps from the iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting article found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.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.
Cheers,
Sterling

My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

The hotness indicate a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it to Apple.
Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
If not abused Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one at no coast. otherwise the exchange price is $149.

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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My apple tv wont turn on

my apple tv wont turn on. Thought it might be the remote but i changed the battery and it still wont turn on

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?

Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?
I check my Apps on my MacBook and it says there is 1 update but when I check that there are none.
Then I sync my iPhone with my MacBook and my iPhone says there are 7 updates for my Apps.
This is very confusing. I wish someone could fix this and make it simple and accurate to use.

Sometimes the update notification comes on but updates themselves do not appear if the iOS is not appropriate for the update. For example, I have an original iPad, thus limited to iOS 5.1.1, but an app I use has an update that requires iOS 6.1.3. So I have a consistent update notification but cannot get the update. So, check your iOS and see if it is up to date.
