Iphone3 wont turn on, tried everything

I was snycing my iphone3 today and updating the software when my computer shutdown randomly. Now my iphone wont turn on. Ive tried holding down the home and power button for 10seconds multiple times, but to no avail. I have plugged the phone into my computer but it wont recognize my phone. Ive tried holding home button down then plugging the USB port in, but that didnt work either. Its fully charged, so thats not the problem.
Please help!! What other ideas do you have? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Something on your computer was corrupted when it shut down. Your profile doesn't say what kind of computer or OS, but assuming it's Windows (because this problem would be very unusual on a Mac) you need to completely uninstall iTunes, reboot, and install a clean, just downloaded, copy.

    Not sure which of the fixes worked for you, but don't be gun shy. S* happens as they say. If it worked, chalk the problem up to the "what the heck was that". Its no different than when an application quits on my MacBook to me. I just perform the recommended reboot, restart or whatever I need to make things right again. I would be concerned if it is a recurring problem, but for every once in a while ... As I read on one post recently in a similar situation, the OP's problem was blamed on the "computer gremlins" at work.

    Hi Sian.riches,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on as expected. I also know your have done some great troubleshooting already. I would suggest reading over the attached article and trying the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure everything has been done.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    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.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Itouch 5th gen was working fine then I shut it off and it wont turn on. tried itunes and when its siting here it heats up badly

    Itouch 5th gen was working fine then I shut it off and it wont turn on. tried itunes and when its siting here it heats up badly

    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 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.

  • IPod 7th gene won't turn on (tried everything!!!)

    I bought a new ipod since my old one broke. And it's a brand new one. It works when I connect it in the computer to sync and it has my music and plays. But it won't turn on unless it is connected to the charger. I have left it charging and it still isn't charged full it says. I have restored it, I have reset. I have tried everything that this website and other questions show and yet it still won't turn on. I have even updated my iTunes. Still nothing. Can someone help please?

    Hi Darksakura1,
    If the issue you are describing has persisted even after a full restore, you may need to have your iPod nano serviced, or at least evaluated. You may find the following page helpful:

  • TS1630 no sound and wont shut off. tried everything

    Hi, I have a 7 month old, or about, iPhone 4S. I can't listen to music or hear any sounds at all, but it will vibrate. My phone refuses to shut off, and will turn on a few moments later. I have tried everything and i have read everything in the articals and Apple Support. Is there anything that I can do or should I look into a new phone?

    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • Ipod wont come on, tried everything

    I was running and a song would stop halfway through it. I kept pushing play again and it got to be every 10 seconds instead of every minute or so.
    I finally let it stay paused and my screen never worked during that time. I went home and plugged it in the computer and it didnt recognize it and the screen stayed blank. I restored the ipod to default settings from the computer and during the whole time the screen never came back on, just beeping, not even a flashing screen.
    I was able to add songs back on it from my computer but it still doesnt work or anything, connected or disconnected from the computer. I left it alone all night plugged into the computer and it still wont work at all. It just beeps. Ive tried the resettings and all.
    I tried laying it on a flat surface plugged into the computer and pushing the menu and middle button at the same time and still nothing. Its hooked to the computer now and its just clicking every 5-6 seconds.
    PLEASE HELP!!
    Thank you

    did you ever get this to work again? i just had the same exact problem happen to me today... the ipod isnt that old and i only use it to run with...

  • Imac wont boot up, tried everything

    Hi.
    I have the June 2011 imac 21.5. I installed Lion onto it and have had no problems at all. Today i tried to to a partition with the boot camp assistant app that was already on the mac. Everything was going fine, i put the disc in with windows 7 and it rebooted. When it rebooted i had a screen saying ''no bootable device, insert boot disk and press any key'
    I tried it and nothin happened. I have been on my phone for the past 2 hours looking at solutions such as resseting pram (cmd alt p r) that done nothing. I cant boot into safe mode and holding alt/option at start up does nothing. Im getting really annoyed with it now, nothing will work and i need this fixed tonkght as i have college work due in tomorrow. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks !
    Ps - sorry for bad spelling, im using my phone and dont have time to check back through it.

  • Scanner wont work i tried EVERYTHING!

    i bought this allinone c3180 printer a few months ago used, but it was brand new out of the box.  it has worked fine for me up until now.  now when i try to scan something from the hp solutions center, it says "hp has stopped working" and "unable to communicate with hp scanning software".  i've tried unplugging and replugging the printer, i;ve tried switching usb cables, i've tried rebooting, even uninstalled and reinstalled everything and it still has the same problem.  NOW what do i do?? 6 months and the thing is toast??? geez!!
     this started happening after i ran out of ink for the printer....but i dont think the ink would have anything to do with the scanner??

    Hello, I would start with this HP Support document - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00040499&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US...
    I would also try scanning from MS Paint or MS scanner and camera wizzard. Some times these other applications will work when the HP software isn't. By the way, the document listed above has a very high resolution rate when the steps are followed in the order that they're listed.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now? (It is impossible for an iBook G4 to run Mac OS X 10.0.)
    How much RAM is installed?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • ITunes Wont Detect iPad Tried Everything!!!

    Here's what I've done over the past 2 days to get where I am now.
    1) factory reset my computer completely wiped all files and cleared the hard drive.
    2) downloaded iTunes
    3) updated iPad to newest software (iPad worked perfect)
    4) factory reset iPad
    - got stuck in factory reset, after it finished I was told to connect to iTunes but iTunes would no longer even recognize when the device was plugged in.
    -hard reset (holding power and home button) did not work
    - resolved the issue by uninstalling iTunes and all components in a specific order via Apple's directions (yes I double checked my Program and Programx86 folders to make sure everything was removed) https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204275
    5) re-downloaded iTunes
    6) plugged in device and got the error message that you see in the picture
    - plugged device into computer, hard reset, waited for computer to recognize it again after hard reset and got the same message.
    -iPad is still stuck on "connect to iTunes" logo
    [note:  yes I have a warranty for my computer but I'm hoping to resolve the issue myself first]

    Does the iPad charge when plugged into the wall outlet charger? If so, then the iPad's port and the USB cable are fine, and the issue is indeed with the computer.
