My iphone 4s froze and then went black.

I was using my iphone 4s just browsing when it froze. Nothing was getting a response until I locked it with assistive touch. Now the screen is stuck black. It vibrates and siri can make noises but not do anything. I tried plugging it in. I cant reset it with the lock and home button because my lock button is broken. Hellpp! D:

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

My i hpone froze and then went to a rainbow colored screen and wont activate, restart

help my i phone froze and went to a rainbow screen and i cant restart it or reboot it

If you don't have the the original disk, then there is nothing you can do. Flashing Question mark means that the bootloader cant find an OS. The HD could just be scrambled or it might be fried. Just wait it out until you take it to Apple as they will be your best bet to help you.

My iPhone 4S crashed and then went into recovery mode. What happened?

So I was using my iPhone today, and the screen wouldn't turn on. I assumed it had frozen and power-cycled it using the power- and home-buttons. Then I turned it back on, and it told me to plug my iPhone into iTunes. So I did, and iTunes attempted to update my device to iOS 8.1.3 (which it already had). It couldn't, and I had to restore my device to factory settings and then I had to restore from a backup. I'm curious as to why this happened?
Side note: When I plugged iPhone into iTunes, the serial number was marked as n/a, and instead of "[my name]'s iPhone" it was named iPhone 4S. Why is this? What happened?

Try plugging it in to iTunes. If I'm correct, when you plug it into your computer and open iTunes it should say "Device in Recovery Mode" or something. The only negative is that the only option from there is to restore your phone. If you have an iCloud backup you should be able to restore and back up once again and have the same data.

I was listening to my ipod last night and it started to stutter and then went black and now wont turn on

this is my 5th refurbished one

- Reset the iPod
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect it to thecomputer and if iTunes sees it, restore the iPod
- If not seen in iTunes, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My iphone 4s froze and then deleted all of my text/imessages. They all disappeared and my phone is not backed up with icloud. is there any way to get those messages back?

any ideas??

If you have an iTunes backup, you could restore that. Otherwise, I think you may have lost the messages.

My ipad will not turn on and is charged, i have also tried a reset and the screen flashes and then goes black.

My ipad will not turn on and is charged. I have also tried to reset my ipad by holding in the off/on button and the home button at the same time , but it did not work. The screen flickered a couple times and then went black. Is there anything else I can try?

Hi,
Does anything appear on the screen at all, e.g: Apple Logo etc?
You may also find the information here useful: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

When I try to turn on my old ipod nano it will flash and then go black again. only when its hooked up to the computer. whats wrong with it and how do I make it work?

Ok. My brother has an old Ipod nano. It's the tall one with the tiny screen. Anyway, he tried to turn it on one day and it just flashed white and then went black again. We tried everything we could and it still wont work. Now it wont flash unless it is plugged up to the computer. How do I fix it so it will work again?

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

iPhone User Guide
Try this...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Screen froze when closing Safari then went black. Am I in trouble?

Have had this iMac since 2004, NEVER had any problems. Went to close window from Safari, screen froze, wouldn't turn off. Had to unplug, when I turned it back on the screen reloaded with the Apple icon then went black. Am I looking at a dead machine?

1) You should run disk utility from your install dvd.
      a) fix the disk
      b) update your permissions.
2) Try a safe boot.
     Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
     is being checked.

3) Another way to correct filesystem problems is into single use mode.
     This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    Basically, you hold down the command + s key then powering on your machine. The command key
    has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar.
4) Run hardware diagnostics. It's good for a sanity check.

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

My iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the on button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black. How do I get it to turn on?

My Iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the ON button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black again.
Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.

Are you saying it got water damage? If not what mende1 suggested, or the following

is the way to proceed. If it got wet all bets are off.
