My iphone 4s won't turn on or connect to itunes

The phone shows it is charging and when I disconnect the phone from the charger, it shows that its disconnected. It won't actually charge, it won't turn on and the computer doesn't recognize the phone.

I figured it out on YouTube. DFU mode is the key.
Hold the power Button and the home key until the apple illuminates. Keep holding it until the apple logo goes off again. Let go of the power button, but keep holding the home button down for 7-30 seconds. Itunes will recongnize your phone, even though your phone doesn't turn on.
So far so good! Its retoring now...

How to wipe all the data on a broke iPhone 4? it won't turn on or connect to iTunes

Hi there, my iphone4 does not turn on or connect to iTunes since it broke, however it was still working till the battery ran out ( I noticed it was still working because my app was on and the status showed up on my computer as I was online through my iPhone). So I believe that all of my data are still on that phone, it's just not responding to me, I hope that I could get my stuff back somehow, if this is too much to ask, at least I would like to wipe all my personal info before trade it in, any idea? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hopefully this link will help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

IPhone won't turn on or connect to iTunes after trying to restore/ios8

Hello i bought this iPhones 4s broken to fix as he stated it was faulty and thought it was a screen problem as he could hear siri but i couldnt hear anything when came but:
Once i bought it i tried the usual resets with the home and power button etc. Nothing happened
I dissconnected the iphones screen and put an iphone 4 screen on as that's all i got at the moment (i didnt't screw in just connected cables to test screen)
I connected to Itunes and it said "this iPhone is in recovery mode, please restore"
I restored and had to update to ios8 to so i did it. It then turned on on the iphone and came up with apple logo and prgress bar.
iTunes said "waiting for iPhone" and the prgoress bar did not move at all so i disconnected phone and left tillnext morning.
Now it won't connect or show up on my Mac, and 2 other computers.
Is it because i stopped the restore as it was stuck now won't tun on at all?!?

Hard to tell. However, since the iPhone does not have user serviceable components, once you opened the device, you forfeit any warranty or post warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are going to have to try and figure this one out on your own.

My iPod Touch 5 won't turn on or connect to iTunes.

I woke up this morning and my iPod wouldn't turn on. It's just a black screen when I plug it in to charge or even when I plug it into iTunes. Another problem is that I can't reset it because my home button is broken. If you know how to fix this, please help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

- 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 another cable
- Try on another computer

IPod won't turn on or connect to iTunes

About a week ago my home button on my 5th generation iPod stopped working, so I have been using assistive touch. Tonight I had just updated iTunes on my pc while my iPod was charging through it. I took my iPod off of the charger and was using it online. While I was on it, it randomly turned off. I tried turning it back on, but it never worked so I connected it to iTunes after it was done updating. When I plugged it in nothing came upon my pc screen or my iPod screen. I also tried charging it with my wall charger but nothing came up. I have read about troubleshooting, but seeing as my home button doesn't work, I don't think that is an option. Please help, as I am extremely stressed and do not know what to do.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

IPod won't turn on, and connecting to iTunes doesn't help.

So yeah, basically my today when I picked up my Ipod, it wouldn't start, I thought that maybe it was just run out of power and plugged it into itunes.
At first itunes didn't even recognize that the iPod was plugged in, and when it did, it told that I would have to restore the iPod from backup, I pressed ok, and proceeded to press the restore button. Now, this is the weird part, because when I pressed the restore button, iTunes told me that I couldn't restore my iPod, and that I had to update iTunes, problem is, my iTunes is up to date .
Also I'm not able to start the Ipod in DFU mode, and it was NOT JAILBROKEN

The first message i get, when i connect the iPod is "iTunes har oppdaget en Iphone i gjennopprettingsmodus. Du må gjenopprette denne iPod-enheten før den kan brukes sammen med iTunes" This roughly translates to "iTunes has detected an iPhone in restorationmode (?). You have to restore this iPod-unit before it can be used with iTunes"
Then when i prees ok (it's the only option), and press the restore button i get this error message "Programmvare for denne iPhone-modellen er ikke tilgjengelig nå. Forsikre deg om at du har den nyeste versjon av iTunes, og prøv igjen." This translates to "The hardware for this iPhone-model is not available right now. Make sure you have the newest version of iTunes and try again."
I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on a windows 7, 64bit

My iphone 4s will not turn on or connect to itunes.... is there any way i can get the data from the phone?

My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

Hey Thermali,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
Thanks

Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
See if it will charge after this.
