My iPhone 4s is no longer working.

My iPhone 4s is no longer working. It kept turning off and on on it's own and i tried to restore it. I pressed the lock and home button. I connected it to itunes as it says. Once in itunes it says the iPhone is on recovery mode and then when it is suppose to restore it says :Verifling with apple and connecting to iphone. Then another screen pops but that an unknown error has happened and doesn't recovery it. What can I do?

It has no serial number or nothing.

  • My Iphone 5 will no longer work with my two year old Bose dock?  I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter

    My Iphone 5 will no longer work wiht my Bose Dock?  The dock is two years old and I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter?  It stopped after software upgrades?

    I Have the exact same issue. Bose sound dock 3 and it does not work for me with my iPad air 2 and iPhone 5 anymore.
    Used to to work fine 2 weeks ago.
    Is it to do with updating to iOS 8.1.3?
    Thanks.

  • Update 10.2.2 older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work.

    Update 10.2.2. I updated to 10.2.2 and my older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work. Im talking about the cables with the longer connector and the connector locks not the new style that is a short plug with no lock. Anyone else having this issue?
    Tried normal steps, reinstall restart etc. No change. I'm at work and the cable works fine on 10.2.1.1 something in the update must have changed.

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?..

    My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?.. Is it because my 3g is only active on the android os and not the ios platform? Texts, Calls and Wifi work fine but the 3g doesn't work. My phone only shows 'GPRS' in the top left corner. Also I get a message come up saying "Could not activate mobile data network. You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".
    Any advice would be great.

    Hi hexonxonx, I'm on o2. Thanks for your advice. You are right. All I had to do was change one of my APN settings to mobile.o2.co.uk and reboot my phone and this sorted it out straight away! Thanks again. Much appreciated . I was thinking I was going to have to go back to an android phone to use my 3g again but this eliminated that need. Thanks.

  • The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working! Help!!

    The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working.  Whenever I press the speakerphone button I can no longer hear anything and can not get back to the call.  I then must end the call in order to hear anything again.  Its not the actual fault of the speaker either because I can still play music and hear it ring. It has always worked before and my phone is up to date. It seems to be the only thing that just randomly stopped working, and I use the speakphone option a lot.  Help me please!!
    Cheers!

  • My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
    Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often. You can also check this support document for frequently asked questions and the other for additional troubleshooting instructions.   Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions  iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories

  • My iphone 5 charge no longer works

    As soon as I upgraded to 7, my APPLE chargers no longer worked for my iPhone 5. What's going on?

    Hi, I had the exact same problems on my 4S for about a month. I tried all of the previous rememdies without success. It appears if the contacts of the docking port are dirty/corroded this will prevent you speakers from working. Who would have thought of that!!
    I finially got mine to work by cleaning the contacts on the docking port with a tootpick, a small piece of paper towel and a drop of window cleaner. I used  the following method:
    Firstly turn off your phone.
    Take the toothpick and gently clean away all foriegn bodies and corrosion products from in and around the contacts, blowing hard into the dock port to remove all loose particals.
    Take a small piece of paper towel and dampened it with window cleaner. Using the tooth pick to push the towel into the port, wiping out the contacts and port. Do this a couple of times using a clean piece of towel each time.
    Finally blow hard into the port and visual check for any lint, towel etc remaining around the contacts.
    Turn on your phone and check the function by using the volume buttons on the side. If you get the ringer volume appear with the level displayed your speaker should now be functioning correctly.
    I hope this is helpful and this fixes your phone too!

  • IOS6.0 iPhone 4s Groups no longer work?

    I just updated my iPhone 4S with iOS6.0 and now the groups function in contacts no longer works?  ie I can no longer select a group to only see those contacts in that group.  Please fix this asap as I use this function a lot.  I have checked on my mac and it's fine there and in iCloud its fine also.
    Seems it was just a case of stupid user syndrome by me! The interface has changed so that when you enter the groups list each list has a tick next to it, and if you uncheck all the groups except the one you want then hit done that list comes up.  With the old method you simply tapped the group and the list was displayed.  Not sure why this was changed but simple enough now I worked it out.

    That doesn't work for me. All I can do is either tick the group, or untick it. I cannot access any group's contact list, and I have tried and tried. If I un-tick all the groups but the one whose members I want to see, and then touch the one grouop that's still ticked, all that happens is that the remaining group gets UN-ticked.
    I wonder if this has to do with how the groups were created; mine were originally created using an obsolete app called Contact Grouper, which worked through iOS 5.xxx, and no longer is functional. It seems that on the iPhone I have no ability to access a contact group, without finding a new workaround.

  • ITunes restore iPhone SIM Card no longer works.

    Ok, I had all my contacts and information backuped onto my computer so I could easily transfer them from my 16GB 3G to my new 32GB 3GS. After being restored and synced with my computer my SIM Card no longer works. It wont let me place a call or text. When I un-plug the SIM Card and then plug it back in a message comes up saying invalid SIM and then disappears. Also it either has 1 "bar" with the rest flat and no AT&T logo or 3G, or says No Service.

    Sounds like you need to call AT&T.

  • When I try to sync my iPhone 4s it no longer works.  I have a bunch of songs that now show up on my iPhone with a red circle with a box inside of it and they won't play, yet I can find them and play them on my Mac.  What do I do?

    My iphone 4s will no longer sync music from my music library on my Macbook Pro.  I also have a bunch of songs that now have a red circle with a box in it next to the song on my phone and those songs will not play.  They are present in my itunes library and I can play them on my Mac but they will not play on my iphone.  I have tried unchecking all the music and applying those changes and syncing and it does nothing.  All the same music remains on my phone, unchanged.  Help! What do I do? I have read to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it but will I lose all my music?

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

    I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
    I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
    After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
    Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
    Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
    I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
    This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
    I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
    Suggestions ?

    Update:
    Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
    Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

  • IPhone 3G - Apps no longer working

    Hey! I have had my iPhone 3G (8GB) for about a year now after inheriting it from a family member. It was working great at the start; I could virtually get any app I wanted without it asking to update or anything (like it does now...) and the apps were working fine once I got them. Over the year I've had it I have been extremely limited with the number of apps I can have, since most of them require IOS 4.3 or higher now that the iPhone 4S/5 has been released. Although this is a little annoying, I do not mind this because I still have the existing apps on my phone that didnt need my phone updating at the time.
    However, I have recently changed my network from O2 (Pay as you go) to a contract on 3. I had a bit of trouble activating the SIM into my iphone but it is sorted now. Now, since I have put the SIM card in, none of my apps have worked. Well, some of them do, like the compulsory ones (e.g. weather, camera etc) but none of the ones which I, myself downloaded (e.g. Temple Run) have worked. I tap on them, it takes me to a black screen for a few seconds as if the app is about to open, and then kicks me back to the home screen. This is the same for every app on there.
    Is there anything I can do to help fix this? I know that iPhone 3G's are quite old now and that updates dont often support 3G but I just want my existing apps back! I cannot delete and reload them since most of them have updated and I am unable to get them back as it requires IOS 4.3 or higher. The offer for that is available when I connect my iPhone to itunes, but when I try to start the update, I am told that I do not have an internet connection. When I do.
    I am thinking about purchasing a new iPhone, although what is the point in buying an iPhone 4 if in a couple of years the same thing will happen because it is old?
    What should I do?
    Beth

    You mention that you had some difficulty getting the device activated on the new network, what did you have to do? Was a restore in there somewhere? You also identify another problem, and that is the lack of Internet. Is that just when you are trying to do something in iTunes, or is it all the time?
    I understand your frustration about app support, however that has nothing to do with Apple, it is the decision of the app developer to no longer support the older iOS. If the apps are on your computer, you should be able to delete them from the phone and resync them from the computer without it trying to update, unless you have already updated them in iTunes.
