My iPhone 4 will not turn on at all, and it does not connect to iTunes either. What do I do?

My iPhone was working, then I sat down to lunch with it in my pocket. When I was done I took it out and it wouldn't turn on! My home button usually doesn't work but the sleep button does, and my phone was not responding to it. The screen is black as if it is shut off or in sleep mode. I tried holding down the sleep button to try to get it to restart but it didn't do anything either. I tried holding the home button and the sleep button to hard reset it, but this didn't do anything, I don't know whether it was because my home button wasn't working at the time or because the phone just wasn't responding. I tried connecting my phone to a wall charger hoping that it would light up, but nothing happened. I tried connecting my phone to my Mac but the phone didn't respond, and iTunes didn't recognize that any new devices had been connected. What can I do??

If it won't turn on, then how can you be getting an error while trying to restore it?
If you mean that it DOES power on but doesn't work, and you're getting that error when you try to restore it, refer to this document:

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If the phone is disabled, you have no choice but to restore it. You will lose the data that was not backed up.
the passcode did its job exactly as it was supposed to do.

1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
If so, see:

I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 and it does not start now

i updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 and it does not start now

That message usually means you hacked the phone to unlock it.
When you updated your IOS it locked back up to the original phone carrier.
Only the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
Is this the case?

I tried to update my photo albums in my Iphone 4S. I could not, and the old photos were removed. I tried again to copy the albums in the Iphone from a PC Windows XP folder and it does not work.

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

IPhone 4s: Slide wifi is not selectable. Always gray and wifi does not work!

Help me!

You most likely have a failure of the WiFi chip.
Restore the phone as a new device. If that doesn't solve your problem, you'll have to bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you are not within the warranty period, expect to pay $199 for out of warranty replacement.

HT4623 My iPhone 4 shut off and will not turn on. My home button does not work. Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4 worked fine last night. When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on. I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work. Any suggestions?

Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Ipad will not turn off at all and it still has the buffering symbol

My iPad will not turn on or off. It has the buffering symbol and it has been buffering for hours. What do I do?

connect your ipad to itunes and just restore or update it
if that does not work put your ipad into DFU mode
here are some tips:_
Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.
You can search the Web for even deeper DFU Modes that can be achieved to avoid iTunes Errors, but these techniques cannot be discussed on Apple Supported Forums.

My iphone won't turn on at all and when i connect it to a charger the apple sign just flashes on and off but does not turn on?

I've tried charging it overnight and it still will not turn on, when connected to the charger the apple sign just goes on and off but does not do anything, i've tried resetting it and this also does not work, but then once taken off the charger it doesn't even say the sign for charging it just does nothing

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
