My iphone 3 has crashed one minute fine and the next the screen is white with nothing on it at all. i cant do anyting at all people can still phone me but i have to guess where to swipe to answer the call. Any ideas anyone please

Try these steps as needed:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iPhone as new.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If restoring as new doesn't help, the hardware is cooked.

  • All I can get is a blank screen with the apple showing , what can I do?

    What do you do when all you get on I phone is a black screen with just the white apple showing?

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

  • HT4061 My Ipone is disabled and when i connect it to itunes it says that my phone cant be connected to Itunes because it has a password protection and i have to put it in the phone first but i cant do anything with the phone. what do i do.

    Ok so my phone is disabled and i can not connect my phone to itunes a get an error message. what can i do.

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • I was restoring my Ipone  4s and it froze and just has a black screen with apple logo on, I can't do anything with it

    I Updated the new Iso 8 when it came out. I lost my wifi connections so tried to update phone to the latest version of ISO and it kept saying connection lost and couldn't download. I was doing this via iTunes because I had no wifi. So I decided to restore my phone, it went through the process and then just froze with black screen and apple logo. iTunes won't find  it now. What can I do, argh

    Go to this Apple support page. Scroll down to the bottom and follow the steps to put your device into Recovery mode.

  • Ipod touch has white screen instead of home page, cant acess anything, any ideas?

    problem acessing Ipod touch. have white screen instead of home page

    dude your going to have to take it to apple because i can't tell if it's a hardware or software defect. your ipod might not be in warranty unless you got apple care.

  • I just dropped my iPhone 4s and now it has a blue screen with black vertical lines. what can i do?

    will i need to buy and new one or what?

    When the 4S was first introduced, two flavors of AppleCare were offered: Regular & AppleCare Plus. AppleCare Plus permits an out of warranty exchange for US $49, twice during the life of the contract. Regular AppleCare has no such provision & an out of warranty exchange will be US $199. Regular AppleCare is no longer sold in the US.

  • When I go into Facebook the screen shows a blank screen with a blue Facebook bar at the top but I can't do any thing

    On my iPad mini the Facebook app doesn't work, when I tap the app the scree shows the blue Facebook bar at the top but the rest of the page is white

    Hi Alice,
    First, close the Facebook app. Double-click the Home button. The screen will  change to show you "cards" of running apps. Swipe up on the app's card to force close the app.
    Then, hold the Sleep/Wake AND Home button down on your iPad for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo on the black screen. The let go of the buttons. This resets the iPad. Once it boots back up, try launching Facebook again.
    If this doesn't work, there could be a network glitch preventing the app to load. You could reset network settings on your iPad (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings). You'll need to re-add your WiFi network after the reset. If all else fails, reinstall the Facebook app.
    Hope this helps!

    about 6 months ago i was trying to unlock my phone. my passcode for everything has always been the same 4 digits. i unlocked the phone twice in the space of 10 minutes to reply to text messages by the time id checked my phone again my passcode no longer worked. frustrated i tried the passcode over again unfortunately my younger sister got a hold of my phone and further locked me out. i purchased another phone and now have come across the old phone, i need to get the pictures off the disabled iphone3gs of mine. these photos are a must! i dont want anything else off the phone just the photos. unsure of what to do now as restoring the phone hasnt worked either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you have an iTunes backup that includes the photos you may be able to extract them from the backup using a 3rd party utility such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

    You can't use a simple VGA to DVI adapter, since VGA doesn't have the digital video signals needed by Apple displays. You need a VGA to DVI converter, such as

  • HT201263 iPhone 5 crashed (blank screen recovery mode) the first time a week ago and did it twice today. What can I do to repair/prevent this?

    my iPhone 5 has worked well until it started shutting itself off and rebooting some time ago. I did not think much of it as id heard of this issue with iOS 7.  a week ago (9/6/14) the phone just stopped working.  blank screen with no response from home or lock buttons.  Tried plugging it in to charge, still nothing.  When I connected to my computer, iTunes said the phone was in recovery mode and I had to restore it.  Today, 9/13/14, it did this twice.  What is happening and how do I fox/prevent it?

    Hi jvinsonhaler,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone going into recovery mode, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
