My iphone 4s will not start, apple logo appears and the screen flashes like a camera flash, any ideas?

Have plugged it into my pc as well and nothing happens except that.

Hold down power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
Still won't start? You can put it in recovery mode by holding power and home for 10 seconds and release only power after 10 seconds but keep holding home till iTunes recognizes your phone on recovery mode and restore iphone.

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

  • I put my iPod charging, but it wont charge. The Apple logo appears on the screen for five seconds and then it goes off again. Afterwards, it does it again and again and again. I can leave it 1 hour or day charging and it will be doing this the whole time.

    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 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.

    and
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPhone 3G will not turn on, but iTunes recognizes it to sync.  Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?  This was a sudden occurance-phone worked without issue before.

    This afternoon I was used my iPhone 3G.  I then put it aside (it was left on) for about an hour.  When I went to use it again, nothing happens.  The home button will not call up the lock screen.  The lock button will not turn the phone on, off, or lock it.  When I plug it into iTunes, it recognizes it to sync.  Also if someone tries to call me it will ring on their end, but nothing on my end. 
    The iPhone is over two years old (purchased in April 2009), so it is out of warranty.  Also, everything is up to date on the iPhone.
    Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
    Thank you in advance.
    Shannon

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • My firefox installation is complete on my PC with Win XP, the icons are up, but the program will not start... no process or anything in task manager... any idea what is going on?

    bought a second hand laptop running Windows xp. When I go to download firefox, the installation goes seemingly smooth, but the program will not open. There are no firefox processes showing in task manager when I do this. I just downloaded chrome instead, but it sucks and I want firefox but my computer rejects it. This computer runs every other program I use without a hitch

    Every time Firefox opened

    thanks chris for the reply back,i have solved the massive problem i have had with MF 3.6.3 it ws COMODO FREE FIREWALL i had a sneaking suspicion all a long it could have been that but was not sure?,my pc had slowed down since installing comodo i am pretty sure of that,there were lags and pauses ect ect on general usage of the pc even though cpu usage was ok?,so maybe if many pc users that have comodo firewall installed they might like to try a change to another firewall and see if it helps,i went back to OUTPOST FREE FIREWALL which i had for ages without ANY problems whatsoever.
    regards

  • I pressed and held the sleep/wake switch and home buttons for about 15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen but it is stuck and wont go any further

    please help

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    Iphone 4 will not start up....the apple icon comes on and then goes off and then comes on and then goes off continuously....any ideas?

    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve it, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using this article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • My iPhone 4 will not start what can i do

    My iphone 4 will not start any suggestions

    Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.  After that you can let go.  You may have to restore your phone depending on the extent of the damage.

  • Nano won't reset, Apple logo appears and disappears, Nano won't mount!

    My battery died on my 1G Nano sometime last night or the night before. I went to try to wake it up today, and nothing happened ... would not wake up.
    I connected the Nano to the Dock connector which was directly connected to my 24" iMac. The Nano tried to restart, but would not re-start completely, most likely because the battery was completely dead.
    I tried re-setting by toggling on and off the Hold switch and then pressing the Menu and Select buttons, but that did not work. I also tried plugging the Nano into an external USB charger (for regular iPod) and resetting. I still can not get it to reset.
    The Apple logo appears on the screen for a second, the screen lights up for a second, then the screen goes dark again and the Apple logo re-appears and the process starts all over again.
    This has been going on for over 20 minutes. Apple logo will appear, screen lights up, screen goes dark, Apple logo re-appears, etc, etc, etc, etc. Do you see a pattern emerging here?
    Please help!
    Thanks

    When my iphone cracked out, I plugged it in. If it is still discovered in itunes, on the left side bar you should see you device's name. If you click it, near the top it will show your device and have options for backup or just plain restore (which I might recommend here). And if this works awesome! If not, RIP iPhone
