My iPhone 4s turns off and won't turn on again without doing the on and home key.  Only a month or 2 old.  Why?

My iPhone 4s shuts off and won't go on again without doing the on and home button hold.  It's only 1-2 months old.  Why?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • IPhone 5 turns off randomly, won't turn back on until I plug it in

    This has happened a few times, just starting about a week ago.  I bought my iPhone 5 brand new the day it came out, now every once in a while it will turn off even if the battery isn't dead.  The home and power buttons don't do anything and it won't turn back on until I plug the phone in.  When I do this, it says my battery is dead for a few seconds, then it will go back to whatever % it was at before shutting off.  How do I fix this?

    Same thing has been happening to me- SO FRUSTRATING. I've had it four days and it began on day two. I asked Apple & they told me to do the restore- but if there are still issues after doing that, I'll just opt for a new phone. I couldn't even get it to come on just now. The apple would pop up then it would shut off, over and over. Making an appt now.

  • I am trying to purchase a free app from the apple store. But, It says that i must update my payment information. How can I purchase the free app without doing the process and acredit card?

    I don't understand why it is asking for billing details for the purchase of a free app. do not have a credit card handy.

    If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

    sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all.  this is normal

    Thanks for your help. I tried plugging it in but nothing happened, I actually still had battery power left. I was able to solve my problem by holding down the power and home buttons, which reset the phone and got it started again.
    Thanks for trying

  • My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    Try resetting the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Make sure the battery is charged. If you think it may not be charged, then plug the device into the charger and try resetting after 5 minutes or so.

  • IPhone 4 shut off and won't turn on

    My iPhone just shut off today, and won't turn back on. I tried charging it up, but the batter charger doesn't even get warm, so it appears to NOT charge. I'll be trying to plug into iTunes next...but this does not look good for the phone.  Any suggestions or has anyone gone through something like this?

    Hold down sleep wake button and home button down for 18-20 sec to restart the phone.

  • IPhone 4S Shut itself off and won't turn on

    my iphone 4s has turned off and won't turn on.
    it doesn't respond to the power button and won't respond to being plugged in.
    the last time I used it was about an hour before I noticed it.
    the last thing I did was put one photo on to my photostream.
    it had been sitting in an air conditioning room, and on a desk during the whole hour or so I wasn't using it.
    anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with it?
    i am 100% sure I'll have to take it to a store to figure it out unless it suddenly works.. but any ideas would be helpful....

    My 4s did the same thing yesterday. I locked the screen, then about ten minutes later I went to use it and nothing would work. Like the phone was completely dead. I tried everything, plugging it in, reboot, nothing at all worked. Then about five minutes later I hit the lock button again and the apple logo appeared and it started rebooting. Not sure what happened!!

    Plug into a wall charger for about 10 mins and see if it comes back on.   You may have a dead battery.

  • My iPhone 5 turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    The hold button is broken, but the phone won't turn on even when plugged into a power source.

    You may be able to access the iPhone by following the suggestions of lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135 for remote access but without doing the restore part.
    With a non-working button you would be better off taking it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs and see what they want to do regardng repair/replacement.
    For some time Apple has not been repairing iOS devices but replacing them...however, yesterday a user reported an Apple store replacing a part in his iPhone 5 so that policy may be changing.

    Try cleaning out the phone's connector.  Else take it in to Apple, you have a 1 year warranty.

  • My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on

    I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?

    Hold the home and power button down at the same time.

    my iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

    I'm experiencing the same issue. It's one thing to have to re-power up but to not be able to do so without plugging in the charger when the battery is substantially full, is a real drag.
