Plug ypur iPhone into iTunes then click on restore iPhone that should work. If you have backed your iPhone up to icloud you will be able to restore from your iCloud backup and all of your apps and content will be back on your iPhone.

You can try, but the problem with that is you need battery power in order to restore. Once your phone has enough power to restore, it will still show the same message. To get the phone into either recovery mode or DFU mode requires the ability to first turn the phone off. But, you've got nothing to lose, so you might as well give it a shot.

Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...

My iphone 3g is completely frozen and wont turn on, help!

My iphone is completely frozen and will not turn off. It was working just fine then completely shut off and is now not responding. I tried holding just the top button, then the top button and home button together... nothing! HELP!

Try a Hard Reset.
- hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time
- the phone will turn off and the apple logo will appear
- once you see the apple logo release both buttons
Hope this helps

My itouch (4th gen.) is frozen. It's stuck on the window show the slid bar. I've tried holding down the sleep/wake button to try and restart or reset, but it is still frozen.

My itouch (4th generation) has frozen up. It is stuck on the window with the slide bar with shows the time and date (which is the date from 3 days ago, even though it just frozen. It won't shut down by holding down the sleep wake button on top. (yes, I held it for more than 6 seconds) And obviously, I can't pull the slid bar over since it is completely frozen.
BTW, I tried plugging it into the computer and running the diagnostic tests on itunes, but is shows everything is fine.
What do I try now?

Try placing the iPod in ecovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would beto wait for the battery to fully drain and the charge and try again.

Release the Buttons...

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 another cable
- 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.

My iPhone 4 will not power on. When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery. Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen. Any suggestions?

Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

I hv a 3GS iphone. it could not be boot up. When i press the sleep/wake button, the apple logo appeared for a while and then disappear. My phone could not be start up. When i go to itune, it does not have the logo for me to sync.

I have a iphone3GS. It could not be boot up. When i press the sleep/wake button, the apple logo appear and then disappear. The password login screen didnt' come on. When i tried to connect my phone to the itune on my laptop, there isnt this button that i can sync my phone with the laptop.

Sounds like your iPhones software may be corrupt. Try placing the iPhone into recovery mode. To do this, follow the steps in this article:

Why does my iPhone 4s stall when I turn on the sleep/wake button and how do I fix it

I was just wondering why my iPhone 4s stalls when I press the
Sleep/wake button? And how do I fix it?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My iphone 4 will not switch on and i have Press the sleep/wake button

My iphone 4 will not switch on and i have Press the sleep/wake button for more than 20secs. i have also connected the iphone to Itunes but the computer or itunes doesnt recongise the phone is connected. HELP

If it isn't responding to any of those steps it might prove difficult to extract data from the phone.
So again your best bet may be the Apple Store, they would be able to help retrieve it I expect.
