My iPhone 4 is completely blank and I can't even reset the phone
My iphone 4 is completely blank. I can't do a hard reset on it. It is charged and when I plug it into the charger, nothing happens. Before the screen went blank the apple symbol appeared with lines through it, then the phone stopped working.
if it does not work the first time, try it 3 or 4 times :
try holding the top sleep button and the round home button for 10 seconds or so, until you see the apple logo. This should force it to restart. Make sure that your SIM is in place before you try this.
If there's something wrong with the OS software, it will prompt you to plug it into a mac or pc running the latest iTunes to restore or reload the software. hope this helps.

My iPhone 5 keep rebooting itself after update to iOS 8? My friends iphone 5 is doing it too...already reset the phone and the problem till happen.
What at can I do to fix the problem???Hello there, Fernandox26.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My 4s continues to lose wi-fi and reverts to 3G even when the phone is 4 ft from the router.
My 4s continues to lose wi-fi and reverts to 3G even when the phone is 4 ft from the router. Is this a defect in my phone? It happens when I am home and I switch to my wi-fi. It doesn't matter where the phone is in relation to the router. Please note, I have my phone set to NOT sleep. Does any one know why my phone reverts to 3G? I have to manually set it to wi-fi every time this happens.
I have the same issue with my iPhone 4s. It was not an issue when I was using iOS5, but it started once I upgraded to iOS6 and the recent update of iOS6.0.1 did not fix it. Judging from the release notes, Apple thinks this is only an iPhone 5 issue, as they say they fixed it for iPhone 5's.
I have an iPad 2 (iOS6.0.1) and a 3rd generation iPod touch (latest iOS5 release), as well as an Apple TV 2. None of the other devices have this problem and they are all on the same network.
Something interesting... my iPhone 4s works fine on the wifi where I work. At home, it continually turns on and off. My home network is using a Netgear router (WNDR3400) and the iPhone is connecting to it using WPA2+PSK protocol. Hopefully, this information can help Apple figure out the problem.
(I remember my iPod Touch having a similar issue a few years ago with iOS 4, when I had a different Netgear router using the same security protocol. I think iOS 5 fixed it for the iPod Touch... I wonder if some Apple products have an issue with Netgear Routers using that encryption.) -
Ok, my iPhone is completely blank and won't turn on anymore.
my iphone 4s is completely blank and isnt charging anymore, nothing is popping up on the screen when i hold the power button. ive done everything! ive hooked it up to multiple chargers and cleaned out the port. idk what to do now. please help asap.

iPhone 5S lost voice mail and when I tap vm icon the phone dials voice mail and gets busy signal. No other options show.
started yesterday. No voice mail at all. When I tap the voice mail icon the phone immediately dials some number and that number rings busy. I can't select anything else. Using Virgin mobile/ I am stumped.
I have already tried a soft boot... power and home button....
Help!Other than changing the SIM card, you don't mention any troubleshooting you did with your phone.
If you haven't already, try the following steps as needed:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Setting.
Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone
IF the last step doesn't fix it, there is a hardware problem and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar. The fact that you haven't dropped the phone by no means rules out hardware issues. -
All of a sudden now when I sync my iphone and then look at photo's the "albums" banner is covering the camera roll selector making it unable to be accessed. So then I have to reset the phone and go through all of my settings and reset them to where they were before the reset. I'm not sure what's causing this, but the only thing that was different was that I had over 100 pictures in the camera roll. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
ThanksThis seems to be a common problem. The only fix I know of is to double-tap the home button to bring up the recently used apps bar. Find the Photos app. Tap and hold until a red x appears. Tap the X to close the app. Then tap the home button again. The Photos app should work normally when you next use it.
I hope you transfer your camera roll photos to your computer. This explains how: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Also, you can improve iPhone backup and restore times by reducing iPhone Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3603 -
IPhone stuck in recovery mode, I can't even reset it to factory settings
I wrote a post before this but it seems like it got deleted???
My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode and I've tried everything but nothing works! I can't even reset it to factory settings because I keep getting the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Is there any way that I can reset it to factory settings without using iTunes?
I've searched all over the web, haven't found anything on this... I've tried all the apps that help exit from recovery mode but none of them work!
Please, any help is appreciated! Thank you!https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?facet=content&type=discussion&sort=rel evanceDesc&showAnsweredFirst=true&q=This…

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

My i-phone stopped receiving e-mail on a regular basis. Rather, it will sit and spin trying to load and then stop. Usually, sometime in the night, it will all of a sudden load all of my mail, but then will not load new mail again. I have updated and reset the phone and network, and the problem remains the same. Does anyone know a fix for this issue?
Try deleting the account, restarting your phone and then reinputting the account.

I suddenly cannot access my AOL E mail account via my iPhone. Has worked for ages. Now says username or passowrd is incorrect which it is not! Have reset the phone but still no joy. Any ideas........please! Martyn
Is there any chance your AOL account has been hacked? Check it to make sure your password is still what you think it is.
Also make sure caps lock isn't on when typing your password. -
I am a new iPhone 5s user. I like many of the features it offers. I don't like that I cannot talk and use the internet (if I am away from WI-FI) and this phone is too small. I am actually thinking of returning it and going back to an Android. After all the hassle it took to get all my stuff working on this phone , it may be worth the switch. This phone needs to be able to multitask freely in this day and age. Also Safari is not the best search engine but I could work with it if I could talk and use it at the same time. I use my phone for business and this is a feature that is needed in my line of work.

The iPhone is working, as designed and advertised. In this case, the user failed to educate themselves properly, either by proper research or asking the right questions, before purchasing the device.
I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
Best of luck. -
My Itunes won't let me buy apps or songs, and I can't even download the free ones
Hello. I have an iphone 5. Iv'e had it scince May of 2013 (this year). I really haven't had any problems before with Itunes, but I can't buy songs or apps, and I cannot even download the free apps! I have recently got an Itunes gift card for Christmas, and I put it into my Iphone, and Itunes says I have the money from the gift card. I started to notice this when I was my grandparent's house a few days ago for Christmas, and it wouldn't let me get an app, even though it was free. I thought it was because of a diffent type of WiFi or because I was at a different place, but when I got home, it still wasn't working. Whenever I try to buy or download something, it says, "Verification Info." I click continue, and it says that I need to buy money with a credt card, even though I have money in my account! This has also happend to my sister (she has an iphone 4). Please help!

Hi there,
The current file type is a VLC media file (.flac) (.flac), 34MB. I have never had any trouble adding music before, I have always been able to simply drag them into itunes and they have transferred perfectly so I don't have any idea what has changed.
iTunes does not support FLAC. The formats supported by iTunes are -
AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
In addition it is possible to import unprotected WMA files and during the import iTunes will make a new converted version (usually in AAC format).
If you are using iTunes on a Mac there is a complicated unofficial method that will let you add FLAC files in to iTunes but this is not possible with iTunes for Windows.
It is possible to use Apple Lossless in iTunes (as listed above this is officially supported) and use the same Apple Lossless files in Windows Media Player, Microsoft MediaCenter, foobar, WinAmp, dbPoweramp, VLC, and many others. Some of these need free plugins to add support for Apple Lossless but to illustrate it is possible, I have all my music in Apple Lossless (in iTunes), and share the same files with WMP and Microsoft MediaCenter.
