My Iphone 4 will not turn on ios 6

My iphone 4 tund off when it still had battery so I plugged it into a charger and when it turned on it wanted to update to ios 6. I the plugged it into a computer and the apple sign keeps comming on for a couple secons and then disappears, over and over again. My itunes doesn't recognise a divice so I can't restore it, and I tried to force restore but nothing works. How can i turn my phone on?

Basic steps:
- make sure the cable is not damaged and there is no debris in the iphone dock
- try another usb port
- try another cable
If that fails try a hard reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will turn off then when the apple logo appears rellease both buttons
If your iPhone is still not powering on or not recognised by iTunes follow this article for Macs:

If all steps in that article above fail then follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 which Gracielle kindly provided you.
hope this helps

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.

Hey laysams64,
I would follow these troubleshooting steps:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

My iPhone 6 will not turn on

Hi
My iPhone 6 will not turn on. It has been on charge, so has power. When you attempt to switch it on it is stuck on the apple logo. Have tried connecting to iTunes in recovery mode but it's not helping! Any ideas?

Hey nicbrennan,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPhone wont start past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

My iphone 5 will not turn on ... i have held both buttons down at the same time and I get nothing ...it is fully charged ....any other suggestions?

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.

HT201210 Iphone 4s will not update to iOS 7. Says an error occurred. I have to plug my phone into the computer also because it will not connect to home wifi. All other devices will connect to wifi though. I have enough storage to update also.

My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7. I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi. I've tried several different things but nothing is working. I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage. When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it. It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message. Do I need the iphone 5?

I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac. Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error. It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works. I have an apple airport extreme router too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

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.
