My iPhone 4 will NOT turn on. Help?
I've had my iPhone 4 for about a year, Dropped it a month ago slight crack all okay since then, Now it doesnt matter weither i do all that holding buttons down for 30 seconds or any of that, it will not turn on! It will charge and the Apple symbol will glow and you can see it is not a charge problem. I dont want to buy a new one, or send it away AGAIN to be fixed, anything i can do?
Open iTunes on your computer and try connecting your phone. See if iTunes reports that your phone is in recovery mode. If so you will have to restore it.

I have just recently installed ios6 to my iPad 3 an iPhone 4 my iPhone works fine but my iPad is not working at all I can not get a response from it, it seemed to download an then install but did not reset and turn on and will not turn on HELP!! Withdrawal or what!! Lol
Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.
Recovery Mode and Restore - Apple
Let me know if this helps,

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 5 will not turn on. And when it does, it will only stay on for a short while and then it dies again.
Hi lammyrock,
I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.

A reset may 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.

My iphone 5 will not turn on ....I have held both buttons down at the same for a long time and get nothing ...it is fully charged ....and other suggestions?
The screen on my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.3) went dark after unplugging it from the PC. I could still could see a backlight on the screen, but unresponsive. iOS was hung in this state.
I opted to try a reset holding power and home button, which succeeded in turning off the phone.
After that, the screen went completely off. Power button didn't appear to turn on the phone.
Upon plugging back to iTunes, I discovered, even as the screen was pitch black, the phone was actually able to power on, or off if I repeated the reset....I could hear the USB connection chime on the PC every time I powered on or reset. The iOS was in some sort of corrupted state with no screen output.
I couldn't restore to factory settings, as iTunes requires I disable "Find My Phone" on the phone itself, which I couldn't do without screen output. Also tried to put the phone in "Recovery Mode"...didn't work either.
I finally succeeded by:
Logging in via web browser to iCloud, locating the phone with the "Find My Phone" web app, and triggering [Erase]. iCloud reported the phone was successfully erased.
After a minute, the phone rebooted itself and screen output worked again.
I then restored my data and settings from my last backup using iTunes without further issues.
Hope this helps others. -

My iPhone 4 will not turn on. When I plug it into Itunes it says it is n recovery mode. I try to restore it and the error code code 3194. I have tried all the steps what now?
It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.
