My Fathers Iphone 3G will not load up past the Apple logo,

Ok ive tried everything to get my Fathers Iphone to boot up, But it wont I've tried
1.) Hold down the Lock and home button
2.) Let it charge.
3.) hook it up to a Laptop/Computer.
4.) Remove the Sim card
But Nothing has worked it will not even register that there is a iphone plugged in, So is there other way to Boot up the Phone or is all hope lost?

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time. Restore iPhone Firmware.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?

I really can't tell from your post but did you try rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

IPhone 3GS won't turn on past the Apple logo and there's a swirling circle too...

Hi! For a while now, my iPhone has been a pain in my butt. I dropped it whilst out for a meal in April and it cracked the screen and did damage to the bettery which means that the iPhone turns off randomly when not connected to a power source (An Apple Genius has told me this).
But when out today, my iPhone shut off and it wouldn't turn on past the Apple logo. After about 30 seconds, a little circle like thing pops up on the bottom of the logo and starts to 'swirl' and it does nothing when connected to a power source.
I've hard reset it, connected it to iTunes and nothing seems to work. I tried restoring it in July and that didn't do anything to the phone at all.
Any help at all will be hugely appriciated and if anyone else has had the same problem as what I have, how do I fix it?
Thank you!

Wow sure sounds like your iPhone is in really bad shape.
But the next step is a DFU Mode Restore. If this does not work your iPhone is telling you it needs major most likely expensive repairs, or outright replacement.
DFU Mode Restore, with iTunes open connect iPhone to your computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button continue holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds longer. If the screen is blank, black this is DFU Mode. Restore the iPhone Firmware. DFU Mode again is iPhone in Recovery Mode per iTunes but has a blank, black screen. If not successful keep trying to get DFU Mode, it can be a bit difficult even for experienced users to get, keep trying.

IPhone 4 will not turn on, resets at apple logo when plugged in.

Used my iphone in the gym listening to music, drove home and the phone was off. Tried to turn it on and got no response, plugged it into the mains charger and the phone just loops restarts on the apple logo screen, tried to restart the phone and it comes up to connect it to itunes... soon as i unplug it the phone goes off, ive tried a restore on the computer but i get an error message, i am 2 months away from the end of my contract and i am no longer covered by warranty or insurance... any help would be lovely.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a hard reset yet? Try holding the home and the lock button for about 10 seconds and see if the phone restarts itself.

Ipod Touch 1st Gen not starting up past the apple logo

When I start it up i see the apple logo for about 15sec then it turns off. I've tried putting it into safe mode by holding the Power and Home button for 30sec but all it does is turn on and off twice then nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,
Would you please share you solution as I'm facing the same with my 1st Gen iPod Touch.
PS: iTunes does not detect the iPod either.
Thanks.

My iPhone 3GS will not turn on past the loading apple

On Saturday night my phone was on and working. I plugged it in and went to bed, when I woke up Sunday morning the screen was black except for the apple that pops up when it is starting to turn on. I reset it with the sleep and home buttons (too many times to count) and have even tried to hold the home key and plug it in to the USB to restore it. The problem with that is I have never connected it to my iTunes on my computer before. I use iTunes on my phone and plug my phone up to download my pictures every now and then (of which I will lose a couple of weeks of my 6 month old.. but thank goodness for FB!). Apple will only help me if I pay and ATT tol me to clean my SIM card with an eraser which got the battery to pop up on the main screen, but as soon as I plug it in the same apple screen pops up! PLEASE HELP!!

You will need to restore your iPhone using iTunes, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

I need to reinstall my mac OSX to my macbook but it will not load up past the "safemode" login

I need to reinstall my macbook, it has a very difficult time loading up to the "safemode" login (I have to hold down the shift button as I start the computer up) then none of my icons show up after logging in... I don't know what is wrong with it! I tried to reinstall after the screen comes on (sans the icons for ilife, ical etc..) but tells me that the volume is not on and cannot continue? huh??? should I just take it in?

Buy a new phone.

Macbook death sentence?? aka will not start up past the apple

ok, so this has been going on for a couple of weeks so i'm not really all that surprised that my computer will not turn on. it all started when i got the rectangle box of death that told me to hold the power button down until it shut off. it started up right after i did this however my macbook was never the same..
ever since it has taken quite a while for it to start up. when i turn the computer on it makes that wonderful noise and goes to the white screen with the apple on it. it stays there (like it's frozen) until you physically bump the computer. when this happens, the screen cuts to black and it tries again. the wonderful noise happens again and the apple appears... and it freezes again until you bump it. this usually goes on for about 4-5 "resets" until i get the loading spin wheel and then i'm home free. everything works fine.
however, now i come to my macbook tonight after about 20-25 times of "resetting" it, there is no loading wheel and alas my macbook will not start up... is my hard drive dead? is my start up disk bad? (ps i recently took my mac into the mac store and the put a new key pad on it and also showed me how to replace my hard drive, meaning they took it out and put it back in... i think this started happening just after they did this... would this have contributed in any way?)

wellll i got a new hard drive about a 18 months ago... so i feel like it should last a little longer (my first lasted over 2 years).
It certainly should last longer than that. Sometimes people complain that I always assume the hard drive is dying. In your case, it sure sounds like it. In my defense, hard drives are relatively cheap and (in most cases) easy to swap out. If it is the hard drive, you should notice the difference right away with a new one. However, at 18 months, there are other things that should be tried first.
if indeed it is dying, that's alright, i just need to get a new one. i was just concerned that it might be the start up disk or something like that since it has trouble starting the system...
It could be something else. Your kernel panic could have corrupted the file system. Make sure you have a good backup of your data. Restart the machine using the DVD install disk. Hold down the "C" key to force a boot from the optical drive. When it comes up, run Disk Utility and repair the disk. Repeat until it says there is nothing to repair. Then restart it from the hard drive. Run Disk Utility again and repair permissions. See how it runs now.
If it acts up again, there is one more thing to try. Make sure you have a good backup of your data. Restart the machine using the DVD install disk. Hold down the "C" key to force a boot from the optical drive. When it comes up, run Disk Utility and partition the hard drive. Just pick 1 partition GUID option, default HFS+ (journaled) file system. Reinstall the OS. In my experience, if the reinstall locks up or takes more than an hour, the drive is dead. If it installs normally, restore your documents and start using it again. Slowly reinstall your applications. If one of your applications is causing the problem, you are more likely to notice it if you don't install them all at once.
Good luck!

My iPhone 4s will boot up and show the apple logo, but will then go to the loading circle and freeze.

I have tried multiple hard resets. What do I do?

Restoring via recovery mode (or DFU) is your only way out...
1. Make sure your iPhone is connected and turned off
2. when connecting your phone hold the honme button until you see the iTunes icon with a usb on it
iTunes may (or may not) show up and click the restore button
Your iPhone will hopefully fixed then
