My iPhone 4S turned itself off last night and won't turn back on.

My iPhone 4S randomly tuned itself off last night (whilst on charge) and now it won't turn back on. I've tried holding down the home and power button, charging it, and connecting it to my laptop, and nothing. I'm just left with the apple on the screen. Please can anyone help?

Toggle the Mute switch a couple of times. The hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, or 30 seconds have gone by. If you see nothing you have a hardware defect in the phone. If you seen anything at all on the display follow its instructions, which will probably be to connect to iTunes and restore the phone.

My iPhone 4s randomly shut off last night and won't come back on. what do i do?

My iPhone 4s randomly turned off last night and it won't come back on. It shut off with plenty of battery life last night, but just in case, I've had it plugged into the charger all night. Still nothing has happened. Any advice?

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

IPhone 4 shutting itself off at night and only comes on by force reboot

Having a serious issue with my new iPhone 4, every night it shuts down completely and won't start up unless you force reboot it.
The weird thing is, first night it did it I thought it ran out of juice, so I plugged it in to charge (by wall and computer) and it wouldn't show any charging status. Left it for about an hour, still nothing, still won't just turn on by the power button. Finally I got it up and running by force rebooting it (all buttons pressed) and the strange thing is the phone doesn't have a higher charge despite being plugged in for about an hour, still the same as when I went to sleep, 20%.
So it works for the rest of the day without a hiccup...
Then same thing happens last night, shuts down while I'm sleeping, have to force reboot it this morning and the battery shows it's still about 80% charge.
Anyone else experience this?

Short version: My solution was going to the Apple store and getting a replacement.
I didn't want to deal with the same issue for a third day and be a QC experiment for Apple so I got the new 32gb home, restored all my data from my backup (not set up as a new phone, same as I did the first iPhone4) and voila the new phone was still alive this morning.
Obviously there's been some manufacturing defeats (swapped buttons, screen issues, reception, now this) so my advice is don't waste your time trying to solve it for Apple, get a new replacement and let them figure it out. My Apple advisor told me that the stores get limited replacement stock everyday just for these types of issues, you just need to make a genius appointment to deal with it.
Good luck!

My iphone turned off last night and wont come back on, is this a normal problem

My iphone4 shut down on me last night and it will not turn back on. It was in my coat pocket and was working fine then all of a sudden nothing. Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it

did you end up getting a fix for this

I plugged my Iphone 4s in my computer last night and it asked if I wanted to do an update, so I started it and now my phone can not be found and says I have to start in recovery mode, the display on the phone is a circle itunes and the cord to plug it in?

I plugged my Iphone 4s in my computer last night to sync and it asked me if I wanted to do an update, so I clicked to start the update. When I woke up this morning my phone is frozen with the display having the blue circle itunes on the top and bottom of screen has the charger cord, letting me know to plug in, but it was already plugged in. The message in Itunes says, itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore the phone before you can use it. I know if I hit recovery mode that I lose everything currently on my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
patti

If you're in recovery mode, all data is ALREADY lost. You've no choice but to restore.

My iphone 4s froze last night and won't do anything. I have iOS7, my power button is not working, so I can't reset my phone. I've tried to restore through iTunes, but it's telling me to turn off find my phone. I can't do that if my phone does nothing

I've tried all that I know how to do. My power button quit working awhile ago so I use the Assistive Touch to lock my screen. Once my phone froze, the screen went black. The only thing I can do now on my phone is hold down the home key and Siri will beep but she says "not taking requests at this time, try again later." I can't reset my phone without the power key or the Assistive Touch button. I've tried plugging into iTunes to restore the phone but I get an error message to first go to Settings in my phone and turn off "find my iPhone." I can't do that either as nothing will come up on my screen.

Make sure iTunes is up to date and try again.

I updated my software last night and when I came back to the computer its says there was a problem and I need to restore factory settings. How do I get my photos and videos off the phone

I plugged in my phone to update to the latest software. After a while, I went back to the PC and it said there had been a problem and that I needed to restore the factory settings.
I am worried that I will lose all the photos and videos that I have on the phone. How do I get them off.
When I now plug the phone it the screen looks like when you first get it - i.e. itunes logo and asking me to plug in.

If the device has been used as designed, the pics and via taken with the device would have regularly been copied off to a computer.
The first step in the update process via iTunes on the computer is a backup.
Restore the device from the most recent backup.
If data is lost, then it is merely the fault of the user for not backing up the device or saving their data regularly.
Once the device is in recovery mode, the ONLY option is to restore.

My phone died last night and won't turn back on again even though I've had on charge ever since and i tried to use the whole pressing both button but my top one is broke what do i do?

it has been over 20 hours now

Well, if you can't reset it, you can try hooking it up to the computer your sync with and try restoring it:
IOS RECOVERY MODE RESTORE
If the device is not recognized by iTunes, you will have to make a trip to the Apple Store.
Best of luck,

I was downloading the update for my ipad and it kicked me off of wifi and won't log back in and the download can't finish with out wifi

I was downloading the update for my ipad. The wifi stopped working and when I try to enter my password it says cannot connect. The download won't finish unless I'm connected to my wifi. Any suggestions?

First restart your WiFi router.
You can also try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

My phone ran out of battery last night and will not turn on through charging. Top button has also stopped functioning. Help?

My iPhone ran out of battery last night, and now it won't turn on.
The top button doesn't work anyway, but I've tried charging to wake it up using several chargers and via a laptop and plug socket.
The phone's about a year old, and has otherwise been working fine. I've no idea why it would just stop working - no water spilt on it or anything like that.
Can anyone suggest anything?

Clean iPhone charging port with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. See if better. Try another good USB cable. This iPhone potentially has many problems. Without the top button function it is very difficult to deal with any of the other problems. The iPhone may also have faulty battery, faulty charging port, or worse faulty screen, or even worse faulty logic board. Apple will handle this with perfect Replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours for $149.

My IPhone will not turn on, I charged it last night and it had a complete charge and during a phone call it just died and will not come back on.

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

I shut my iphone off over night and tried to turn it back on the next day and it would not turn on... or charge or anything.....anyone know what causes this..or what happened??

pleas help me out my iphone 5c is only a month old...i shut it off over night and went to turn it back on the next day and it wouldn't turn on or charge or anything.....

Plug it in to wall power. If it doesn't automatically come on within 15 minutes, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.
If it still doesn't turn on, you likely have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 3GS died randomly last night and I can not get it to turn on. Suggestions?

I was listening to music last night and I paused the music on my headphones. I then decided I was going to listen to the rest and pressed play on my headphones and nothing was happening. The battery percentage was 85%. I know my phone sometimes has meltdowns. I said not big deal (this happens frequently) and I plugged it into charge. Woke up this morning the phone remained in the same state. A black screen. I have tried pressing the On/Off button with the home button.. nothing is working. Is there any way I can get it back to its old state, I have phone numbers on there that haven't been backed up. Is there a way I can turn it on without restarting it? If not should I take it back to Apple or the cell phone provider? I know my contract is up in January.

Try resetting your phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Note: This "can" take upwards of 30 seconds or so of button pushing.

My iPhone 4S turned itself off last night and won't turn back on.
