IPhone wont turn on and iTune's won't recognize it.

I have had my iPhone since December 2011 and never had any problems. Recently it started to shut off and take very long amount of times to turn back on. Around April 11th i cracked my phone and yesterday night (Apr. 23) around 7 p.m. it shut off and has still not turned back on. i have tried to reset it through iTunes but it won't connect. It wont go into recovery mode & i tried the Power/Home button thing and still nothing. Please help I am desperate.

Please help! iphone wont turn on and itunes is now empty!

so, my 3G decided to literally DIE on me yesterday afternoon. YES it was fully charged. NO i didnt drop it in water or on the ground. It was simply in my pocket (its in mint condition). i panicked, made appt at apple store (they took a look inside and had no idea why it wouldnt turn on as everything looked as if it SHOULD be working fine), ended up having to buy a new 3G-S today, and went home thinking everything will be ok as long as i sync to my itunes and get all the info back onto the new phone.
so, i plug it in and get the error message that apparently is common, delete the required programs in order, reinstall itunes and when i try to sync now, THERE IS NOTHING TO SYNC! have i lost everything? is there no possible way to get the stuff off my old phone onto my new one? swap the motherboard?? what do i do?? plz help...

Oh my gosh, Im sure I tried that! Thank you! It has stopped vibrating and has come back on. You are a star, thank you thank you. I dont suppose you know what caused it?

You'll have to put your phone in DFU mode and restore. Search this forum to find instructions on placing your phone in DFU

my iphone 5 wont turn on and in itunes it says error 21 what can i do please help, can it be the battery?

Hey pilisaez,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines restore error 21:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My iphone wont turn on and the power button is not functioning

my iphonw wont turn on and the power button is not functioning

If your power button is broken, there's not much you can do. You could go to an Apple store & do an out of warranty exchange...Apple doesn't fix iPhones, they replace them. But, I wouldn't recommend doing so, as the iPhone 3G was discontinued almost three years ago & won't run most apps in the app store.
You'd be better served by selling it for parts & using the money to purchase a new phone.

My iphone wont turn on and its constantly vibrating

just over a week ago my iphone screen turned black and started vibrating...
when it stopped i plugged it into the charger, and it started vibrating again, i'm not sure what is wrong, i have looked at the things that have helped this such as trying to restart the phone by holding the lock/sleep button and the home button... it just hasn't worked for me
i also tried plugging it into the computer through the usb cable but itunes didnt reconise the device.
if anyone could let me know how to fix it i would really apreciate it.

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.

What does it mean , when my iphone wont turn on and the apple symbol keeps flashing

my iphone wont reboot or turn on and the apple symbol just keeps poping up

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

Iphone crashed lost music and now computer won't recognize it

Hello everyone!
So I was updating my iphone 5 (iOS 8 for sure, i think 8.1) and was adding some music when i thought i might not have enough space on my iphone. So on my iphone I deleted music and a few movies FROM the iphone, not in iTunes. My music app froze and then crashed. When i went back into the app all my music was gone except my 120 odd songs I actually purchased from iTunes. This has happened to me before and the fix was just to leave the iphone plugged into my computer and all the music would return in 20 odd minutes or so. Well after this crash my computer wouldnt recognize my iphone... some of my music came back but not even close to all (went from 5000 songs to right around 1200). Ive tried all the fixes ive read about. Restarting iphone and computer, re-installing itunes, tried a different cord, and a just about every fix possible using the device manager (i use windows 8.1). Something interesting about after it crashed was that the syncing arrows that spin around in a circle in the top left of the phone while syncing is taking place were spinning for like 12 hours after being unplugged from my computer... weird stuff. The only time I can even get my computer to recognize my iphone is even plugged in and is trying to connect is when I leave it plugged in and do a hard reset (holding down home and screen lock button) and then it recognizes it for like 10 seconds - says error code 43 and then will never reappear until I do another hard reset. I really dont know whats going on and as far as I can tell, im the first to have this type of problem, hopefully not but really appreciate any help you guys can give.

Iphone has a new battery and front camera flex cable. Wont turn on and Itunes gives me error 4014 when i try to restore

So my iphone 5 was having very bad battery problems and apple said they charged $80 to which i was astonished by because my warrenty ended 2 weeks eailer. I thought maybe they would be generous and help me out but no so i took it upon myself to get a new battery and install it myself. I did that and it turns out i need a new front camera flex ribbon so i also bought that and installed it myself. Whe i was donre installing it my phone flashed the apple logo and went black front there. I tried connecting to itunes and it gives me error 4014. Will apple still fix my phone even though i opened it?(Im not under the warrenty anymore).

It is unfortunate that you chose to open the device. Apple will not touch it now. Out of Warranty replacement is no longer an option.
Buy a new device.

When updating to the new iOS my ipod died and now I have nothing but a white screen that won't turn off and itunes now doesn't recognize it

When I was updating my ipod touch to the new iOS last night it died and now I have nothing but a white screen. iTunes no longer recongnizes the device and it won't turn off when I hold the power button or when I hold the power and home screen button.

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

HT1688 My Iphone just turned off and now it won't turn on at all. What's wrong?

The last thing I did was check my email and place it on the counter. I went and did something and when I picked it up it was off. Even when I attach it to the charger, it does nothing. We tried the Iphone tracher and it says it is offline.
Has this happened to anyone? Should I take it to ATT or Apple?
