My i phone stopped working . There are vertical bars on the screen . I can't do anything with it and it isn't even possible to shut it down

Hi christinehedden,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone being unresponsive and showing vertical bars on the display, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If within warranty (yours is since the warranty is one year) and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

Phone just stopped working...

The earpiece stopped working. I've never dropped it. It's been in my pocket all day...I used it this morning fine...then tonight it stopped working. People can hear me but I can't hear them unless I put it on speakerphone. I can't even hear the ringing but the call does actually go thru. I can't explain how frustrated I am that a $600+ phone...would just stop working as a phone. Should I take it to ATT or Apple? Can they do anything about it/they better do something about it.

I am having the same problem too
1. Have no plastic thingy on the ear piece
2. Did a factory reset from i-tunes and from the phone
3. Have had the phone for about a week...
4. Pulled out the thingy to the headphone jack 3 times
5. Still nothing.
6. Called AT&T to get a credit for the 50 calls I made that didn't go through
7. My Apple i-phone is a Lemon
8. What the #$%^&@
Its a software glitch could even be hardware (but) when I did the reset from the settings/general/reset/reset all settings it worked for two calls... After that it went back to the above....Could be SIM AT&T said...Time will tell...will have to go to the Genius Bar and bring in my lemon for my smart serving....
The apple team must be working on a solution that will fix it....

TS3274 My ipad has stopped working, I cannot turn it off as the screen does not appear to be working

Help.
My Ipad will not respond, the screen has stopped working and I cannot turn it off

My ipad mini just lost screen. I tried the hold both buttons down and i did see the apple logo, but didnt fix it. i know its alive, because it beeps when i connect it to power or computer. Are there any other fixes? I received this as a door prizeon black friday and have no receipt?? but i did register it. what should i do?

I can only make outgoing calls. My home button is only working for voice control and won't take me back to menu. I am only in the calling screen and can't even shut off. What do I do?

I am freaking out! I am a college student and owner of my Iphone 3Gs. I just got it this past August and I don't understand what is wrong. I did not drop it or come into contact with any water or disabling substance. I am literally stuck on the calling page with favorites, recents, contacts, keypad and voicemail. When I push my Home button I am not brought back to my menu. When I hold it down voice control is enabled but I still can't get to my menu. Then when I try to hold the sleep button to shut off nothing happens. What's wrong with my phone? I can't even go into contacts and hit text message nothing happens. Also, when I get a message in nothing happens when I push view. Please help me.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

HT201263 What can I do when my phone just stopped working?

My iPhone decided mid-message to turn off (even though on 100%) and came back on to the Apple start-up screen.
It continues to light up, then fade out, then light up again etc. I cannot get on my phone, so I cannot restore it. What can I do?

Plug it in to power. If it doesn't automatically come on within 15 minutes, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If this doesn't work, you likely have a hardware issue.

I dropped my phone in water and the headphone jack wont work anymore. Any way to fix that? and sometimes the sound will just stop working and i have to put in the head phones any way to stop that?

I dropped my phone in water and know the headphone jack won't work. i will put the headphones in and sound will blast out and it sounds off. is there anyway to fix that?
- Thank you!!!

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. Take your credit card.
An out of warranty replacement is $199.

My iTunes just stopped working!!! Anyone else in the same boat?

I am running windows XP home with Service Pack 3.
I click on the iTunes desktop icon as I always have and I see the hourglass but no response.
I have tried to troubleshoot with Apple iTunes support and nothing.
I have followed instructions from online support and nothing.
Uninstalled and reinstalled as per Apple troubleshooting instructions and nothing.
Even the Apple tech seemed stunned saying something is wrong with the computer.
My computer is fine...I have not added or changed anything to it aside from the iTunes updates.
Is Apple going to fix this or tell us what is going on?
Has anyone else figured it out?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

It's not the iphones, it's more likely one or more of your programs causing this issue. It's not the iPhone 6's. The possibility of you getting 2 bad iphones from different batches is extremely remote or you have the worst luck on the planet. lol If one iPhone has it, then you get a new one and the same problem comes up again, it's most likely due to an issue with a program that you keep getting back from restoring an old backup. Restore the iphone again and set up as a new iphone. Then manually import your music and your photos. Once that's done, try to use your iphone to see if everything is ok. If it works good for a few days, then try to add some of the apps. At some point, you'll end up loading the malicious app and the problem may come back. Make sure that the apps are all updated. If you still have problems, call Apple so that they can run a diagnostic report and find out which app is causing this issue. Then you can simply delete it and/or update the app. More solutions are available but that's all I will post for now.

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

I was trying to update my ipod to the latest iOS version (5.1) but I got a notification that the update had failed. It was still functioning normally until a while later when it stopped working and all that is displayed on the screen is the itunes logo

and a USB. I tried resetting it severally by pressing the sleep & home button but that didn't help. I also uninstalled all my itunes related programs and reinstalled them but I'm still yet to fix the problem. Whenever I connect the ipod to my computer, windows seems to pick up on new hardware having been connected but you can't view the files on the ipod through itunes or my computer. The computer acknowledges that something has been connected but for some reason the ipod ain't being recognised.
ps- All I want to do is solve this problem so I don't mind losing all the files I had on the ipod as it wasn't much anyway.

Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

My i-phone just stopped working. It has coloured vertical bars on the screen. I can't even shut it down
