My iPhone 4 Is Stuck on the Welcome Screen

My iPhone's display is completely cracked. The touch screen is jittery and the very right side of isn't touch responsive at all. I reset the settings on the phone and now I can't slide it all the way over in order to use it. I've tried the holding down power off thing, powering off, trying as hard as possible to slide it over, and more. I've connected it to iTunes to no avail. There doesn't seem to be a control in iTunes that allows be to set it up here or skip this welcome screen altogether. I don't want to have to replace the display right now, so I hope there's something I can do. Thanks!

not really, if that part of the touch screen is broke you'll never get off the lockscreen
sorry

  • How to find what carrier my iPhone 4 is with (if stuck at the welcome screen), and can I activate a it with a borrowed SIM card.

    OK. My friend had bought an iPhone 4 online, second hand. He does not have the SIM card. He had recently changed his passcode and FORGOT IT, and we had to restore it. The problem is that, after we restored, it askes for the SIM activation. And none of us have a MICRO SIM Card. So my question is how can I find out what carrier the iPhone is with if it is stuck on the welcome screen and if I can borrow someone elses SIM card to activate the phone so he can use it.
    (we could not contact the person he bought the iPhone from to find out what carrier it is with.)

    Go to the apple store and they will figure out what sim card it is.

  • I recently did a restore to factory settings on my 2009 macbook and now im stuck on the welcome screen where u choose the country my trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when i tap continue to choose it does nothing. someone please help

    I recently restored my 2009 macbook to factory settings and now its stuck on the welcome screen where u choose your country. My trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when I tap on it to select continue it does nothing at all. The only thing else it will allow me to do is go thru the voice over tutorial by pressing escape. Please help me fix this I need to use my computer.

    Hi, teezbreezy64.
    I found a couple of resources to help troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. The first is this article named Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248.
    Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
    If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
    If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
    If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
    If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend resetting the SMC on your computer. Here is an article on how to do that:

  • I just bought an iPhone that is stuck on the setup screen. I have Tmobile and want to know if I should unlock my phone first or get a micro sim card from Tmobile

    My iPhone 4 is stuck on the setup screen. I just bought it tonight and plan to use it on Tmobile but it is not unlocked yet. I was wondering if I should unlock the phone first or get my SIM card situation figured out with Tmobile first. Thanks for any help.

    You'll have to get the SIM card first, you can't set it up without a supported SIM.

  • My iPhone 5 is stuck on the temperature screen after I updated to IOS 8. What do I do!?

    I updated my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 8. It is stuck on the temperature screen. I have reset and done and hard reset. I have no idea what to do at this point? Can my phone be saved?

    Hi geoffreyfromeastanollee, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You have already done some great troubleshooting on your own. The next step I would suggest would be restoring the iPhone. Please use the attached article to place the iPhone is a special status mode called recovery mode. Restore from recovery mode and test to see if the issue remains or is resolved. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

  • After downgrading my iphone 5 it stuck at the apple screen

    after downgrading my iphone 5 from ios7 to ios 6 my iphone stuck at the apple screen, I tried a serval times to reboot and r it but even when it turned on when i tried to slide to unlock it, it turns of again, i hope some one could help =(

    You can get no support on this forum.  Since you have iOS 7, you're either a developer (in which case, per your NDA you must post in the Developer Forums) or a thief. 

  • Resetting all settings on iPhone makes it stuck at the boot screen endlessly

    This is the second time my iPhone stuck at the boot screen and won't boot again until of course I restore all over again.
    This problem happened on iOS 8 and iOS 8.1.2
    Does anyone have an explanation for this problem or the iOS until this release is buggy?

    Hi Try a Reboot press and hold power button and menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo. This may take up to 50 Seconds. Cheers Brian

  • I've an iPone4GS. I downloaded the latest upgrage onto it. IT HAS STUCKED ON THE WELCOME SCREEN. IT ASKS MY password belongs to My Apple ID

    Hi,
    I would very much appreciate some practical advice. I've an  iPhone 4S for about 2 years now., I did the software upgrade as usual. Now after I downloaded the latest (8.0.2 I assume) onto my phone it stacked on the welcome screen. It lets me enter the password belongs to my Apple ID THEN IT TAKES ME BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING TO THE WELCOME SCREEN. This is all what I can do on my phone. It's a nightmare. Please help. Thank you.

    Did you try to remove it from the  "Find my iPhone" list, so that the Activation lock is turned off and you can set it up again?

  • IPhone 4 is stuck in the settings screen.  Cant even power off

    I was in settings deleting apps to free up space to do iOS 7 update, and now my phone is stuck in the settings screen.  I can maneuver through all the setting options, but can't get ack to my phone.  I can't power the phone off either.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to troubleshoot?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
