My iphone 4 is not wanting to light up at all ,making noise when getting calls etc. what could be the problem?

I was trying to figure out why there was a cricle with a lock image in it on the top of my phone , so i was going through settings and couldnt find anything that was out of ordinary .so then i was trying to make room for a software update.The only thing i changed was was putting the little on screen help button. Then phone frozen after i was going through settings again to figure out the cricle and lock image on my home page. Then after a cetain amount of time, When screen time went out it wouldnt let me turn back on screen. But it will make noises from calls and texts and ect still when they come in. But it will not light up when calls or texts come through or notifications. It wont light up when i try to unlock it and or change the volume settings. My screen is blank and black but is still making sounds as if it was still on and working with no picture. Front camera still takes pictures when you hold down top and middle buttons but still not image on screen. Is there any suggestions that i can do myself or do you think i need to take it in myself to have it fixed?
Thank you so much,
Grace Wilson

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    My reminders app will not want to create reminders for me. What could be the problem, how to fix it? Thanks in advance

    Lol idk I updated this iPhone right when I got it because it said there is a new update so I installed it as soon as possible and there is no plus sign over there. I don't know how that happened maybe its something in the setting do you think you know? And when I ask Siri to create me a new reminder and I tell her the time and everything she says are you sure you want to create this reminder I press confirm and then she says I'm sorry but the reminder you are trying to create can not be crated.

    Sounds like you are not running iOS 5 ..........

  • My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

    My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

    It sounds like it starting to charge, then suddenly stops over and over.  This can happen if the cable or adapter is bad or if your charing port has an issue.
    Try using a different cable and/or wall adapter.  If the issue continues, it's probably the iPhone.  If it does not continue, then it's the cable or adapter.  Continue to swap to see what's bad.
    If you don't have another cable or adapter to test will, take your iPhone and your cable/adapter combo to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.  They can help you narrow the issue down and provide service as indicated. https://locate.apple.com/country

    Hello Marwasambo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    If the steps above didn't resolve your issue, be sure that your specific alert isn't listed as a possible iTunes Store error. Then, if your issue is still unresolved, follow these steps.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not showing well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

    My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

    I got a chance to look at it on a PC.  Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
    I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC.  It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders.  Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted.  Whatever it is, IE does not like it.  Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

    You said "reset," so Meg assumed that's what you did. But "reset" is not a button; to reset the phone you must hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You may have to hold for up to 30 seconds, and if the battery was completely drained, you will have to restore iOS using iTunes on your computer.

    Hello Mallikarjunaj
    The decline button will only come up when you are using the phone, like surfing the web or reading a message. Check out the article below for more information.
    iPhone: Silencing or Declining a Call
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38605
    Decline a call
    Do one of the following:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button twice quickly.
    Press and hold the mic button on the headset for about two seconds, then let go. When you let go, two low beeps confirm that the call was declined.
    Tap Decline. Decline appears only when you’re using iPhone.

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

  • I have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?

    i have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?

    The two most likely culprits would be a faulty cable/charging block or a bad digitizer. Try charging the device with a different charger and cable. If the problem goes away, then the problem is with your charger. If it does not, try the basics of resetting, restoriing from back up, restoring as new. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store for evaluation.

    I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
    It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
    What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?

  • Imported album to itunes library but it will not sync to my ipod, tried with my husbands ipod and the same thing. What could be the problem?

    imported an album to my itunes library, but it won't sync with my ipod classic. I tried it with my husbands ipod also and the same problem. What could be the problem?

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.
