My iPhone 4 just stopped - it no longer charges, turns on or anything, It is just a brickm and it was working 15 seconds prior. No trauma - what's up?
My iPhone became a black brick this morning.
I was in my car, and checked settings to make sure Bluetooth was turned on, Bluetooth was on. Twenty seconds later, I tried to refresh my phone by pressing the button on the upper right to wake it up, and it no longer responds to any input. It does not charge with a wall charger, nor is it seen by iTunes. I did not drop the phone or cause it any mechanical damage. It just was working one minute, and not the next.
Any suggestions, other than a seldge ahmmer to put it out of its misery?
It is no longer under warranty, and no, I did not buy AppleCare for it. My bad about that I guess.
A quick search here did the trick and I think I am back in business. My battery was fully charged, I knew that was not the issue, so I held down the Power button and the Home button for 15 seconds and the phone reset and rebooted. All seems well now. I thought it had to be a software glitch, but had forgotten the two button reset protocol.
All seems fine now!! WHew!!

Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?
I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

Hi My Iphone has just been stolen and I cant use 'find my iphone' feature what should I do now, it has important notes and photos?
Change all your passwords. Notify your carrier and the police of the theft. Check to see if your homeowners or renters insurance may cover some of the cost of replacing it.

I have iPhone 4 which i bought from Bahrain and it was working there just fine. However, now I'm in India but my phone is not supporting any SIM. What can I do please suggest guys? Thanks in advance
Sounds like your iPhone is locked to the wireless carrier you used
in Bahrain. Contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking
and if you qualify. Only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked
can unlock it.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Remember that the warranty is not international. You will have to
return the iPhone to Bahrain for repair/replacement if it needs service. -
My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -

MMy new iPhone 5 just blacked out and won't come on. Does anyone know if I will have an issue getting a new phone from Verizon.? I can't even call because I don't have a phone!
Ebony,
Let's see if we can't get this phone working for you! What exactly is happening with the device? Is the screen just out and you can hear that it will still ring, or is the phone completely dead? Please elaborate more on what you are experiencing.

Hi,
I just got familiar with my address book on my YouTube channel. I was adding contacts and everything was working fine then out of nowhere I got a Stop Script pop up notice. I am using Firefox. Now when I go to my address book on YouTube it freezes and I often have to use CTL + ALT + DLT to stop it and start over.
Is this a Firefox or YouTube problem? I tried looking at this page on IE and the same thing happens.You are telling us by yourself that is a Youtube problem, because it happens also on IE.
Anyway that may be an issue with your e-mail account. Maybe you have too many e-mails and YouTube gets so busy trying to add all of them. If you hadn't added them already, you could export that directions to CSV and divide the CSV in parts so YouTube wouldn't have so much work. How many directions you wanted to add? -
My iphone 5s just shut down and won't reboot, just flashing apple logo
my iphone 5s just shut down and won't reboot and just flashes the apple logo. Can anyone help?
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not work, see if you can connect in recovery mode, explained in this aricle:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
