My iphone 4 died, it won't turn on, it won't charge, it isn't being recognized by my computer. Holding the home  lock buttons isn't working. I can't restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. All I see is a red battery sign. Help?

My iPhone 4 has gone completely dead and is unresponsive. Can anyone help?

I would never recommend tinyumbrella. I've had to respond to hundreds of posts from people who used it and found the it trashed the network database on their computer.
If you can't recover using approved methods rather than hacking your phone (which is what tinyumbrella does) then you've probably got a hardware problem.
So what should you do? First, connect it to a charger for 15 minutes. If it doesn't recognize the charger try a different one and a different cable. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold up to 1 minute. If nothing happens your phone really is broken, either a broken connector or a bad battery.
If you DO get some response see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Of course, if you have already tried tinyumbrella this won't work until you repair the damage to your network database on your computer. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation goes from apple logo to low battery symbol when trying to turn it on.  Won't show up in itunes either.  Is it a dead battery? Help please.

    Hi, I have a 2nd Geration iPod touch.  The ipod will NOT go past the apple logo when turning on.  After about three minutes of waiting the screen will go blank.  So, I push the sleep/wake button and the low battery symbol appears, indicating that the ipod is being charged.  After about three minutes the ipod goes to sleep.  Wake up and the red battery shows up again but this time the apple logo appears after about three minutes and stays on for 5 minutes before going to sleep again.  When you wake it up it is on the red battery again. and the process repeats. The battery symbol never increases from the low mark.(no matter how long I charge it.)  It also gets a little bit hot after a while.  The ipod will NOT show up in iTunes either.  Please help thank you.

  • HELP: I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few mins, iphone will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. I have to hold the "home"   "off" button to restart the phone.

    Dear all, please hel!!
    I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few secs, the iphone with the IOS 5 firmware will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. It will then freeze for a few secs before repeating the restart phase again and again and again.
    To solve this issue, I have to hold the "home"  + "off" button to restart the phone. Afterwhich, it will restart the phone. However, although my stuff are still on the phone, all my sms are gone.
    Can someone please assist urgently.
    My data was transferred from another iphone 3GS which is running an IOS 4.0.1 to another 3GS running ios 5.0.1
    Is there a serious compatibility issue with both firmware?
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
    Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
    What is the best work around for this?
    None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
    I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

  • IPhone 3GS DFU mode won't show up in iTunes

    What am I doing wrong that my iPhone 3GS in DFU mode won't show up in iTunes?  If it will not show up in DFU mode in ITunes, then I am unable to jailbreak it with redsnow because it can not see it.  ITunes sees my phone when I am not in DFU mode but as soon as I go into DFU, it disappears and then the sound on the computer sounds like it is going to see it again but it never shows up in ITunes.  I am running Itunes 10.6 and Iphone 3GS 5.1.

  • HT4528 Why is the guided access not turning off on my iPhone? Plus, the home screen button hasn't worked since I bought it.

    This morning I tried to turn on the guided access, which I quickly regretted. The home screen button on my iPhone 5 barely worked to begin with, so when it said "Guided access enabled, tap home screen button 3 times to exit," I knew I had problems. I turned guided access off, but my iPhone now will not exit the settings app, it will not turn off, it will not shut down, and it stays only on one screen. I am about ready to go to the Apple Store and find out what is wrong.
    Please help.

    Go to the apple store and find out what is wrong.

  • My iPhone 5 will not charge or turn on while holding the home / sleep buttons.

    My phone won't charge, have tried the wall and the computer. I tried holding the home button and the sleep button at the same time and got nothing except the battery with the bolt telling me to charge.

    You should try to use a different cord to charge the phone, if this is solves the issue you can call AppleCare and if your phone is under warranty they will replace the defective cord.
    If you try a different cord and this does not solve the issue, you may need to contact AppleCare and get a replacement phone. If there is no physical/accidental damage done to the phone and the phone is under warrany you will receive the replacement phone for free. !

  • HT4623 my iphone 4s is no longer being recognized by any computer after the last upgrade, is there a way to reinstall the ios without a computer?

    I have tried changing the cable, reinstalling itunes, reset and hard reset on the phone, and it still is not working... Is there anyway to re install the os from the phone?

    Have you tried rebooting the computer as well? Shut it totally off, then restart it and try again.If you are already on iOS 6.1.2 as your signature states, the only way to install an update/restore the phone would be to connect it to the PC.
