Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If you have problems restoring (if that is necessary) the iPhone
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPhone fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod went totally dead.  I have had it plugged in charging for 45 minutes and is just a blank lit screen and won't shut off.  Is this normal?

  • I powered off my Ipad and it is stuck on the blue screen and won't shut off.  What can I do?

    I shut down my Ipad but it has become stuck in shutdown mode on the blue screen and won't turn off. What can I do to turn it off and try to restart it?

  • Screen saver won't shut off

    My screen saver has recently been activating itself. All screen saver settings in System Preferences>Desktop&Screensaver are set to never. All Energy settings are set to Never. Accounts>Administrator>Startup Items are limited to System Events.
    Any ideas as to what is making the screen saver turn itself on?

    Hello Winkler,
    You might try this:
    System Preferences>Expose' and check what's called "Hot Corners." It will be the upper most part of the pop-up window. You can set it to activate the screensaver whenever you mouse is moved to the corner you choose.
    Hope this helps.

  • Frozen screen 30GB won't shut off won't play

    Hey folks,
    I just got this Ipod and downloaded all of my Itunes onto it. I was playing the Ipod on shuffle song mode and it stopped. Full battery, purchased song and nothing. The screen says now playing, but it's not. I can't turn it off or connect it to my computer and it remains illuminated. Help???

    I'm having what sounds like a similar problem -- when I start to play after the iPod has been "off" for awhile, the icon indicates that it's playing, but the indicator on the bar doesn't move and the time indicator doesn't change, and nothing happens. Sometimes it starts to play after 5 seconds or so, more often it doesn't.
    I have been able to reset (toggle hold, then hold down center + menu) but it's still an annoying problem, and I think I'll probably take it in for service.

  • My iPhone just turned on after some damage but the brightness will not change and I can't see anything how do I change it.

    My iPhone had water damage and I have had it in rice for at least a month. This morning it started to play music and I got so excited. I plugged it up and left it and when I turned it on the brightness was all the way down. So I thought I just left it this way by when I tried to change it my phone said it was all the way up. I would want to use this phone again how do you change the brightness?

    Try resetting your iPhone 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.
    Also, plug it in to mains power and let it fully charge.

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

    While downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 stopped with a screen indicating it needed to connect with iTunes.  I can turn the phone off and on, but the screen with the iTunes and plug does not change.  I tried connecting to my computer with iTunes open and the computer message indicated that the phone was in recovery mode.  Any suggestions? 

    Yes. Plug it into your computer and restore it. Once it's in recovery mode, that's your only option.

  • IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

    IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

    I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
    >CURVEBALL!!!<
    The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
    I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
    Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?

    The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working  as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
    Thank you

    Sounds like a 'stuck' Shift key. You could try to take the key off and put it back on yourself (should be some info on that from ifixit) or just take it to your local Apple Store and have them fix it.
