My iphone 5 flashing on and off

my iphone 5 went from stuck into restore setting to errors to now flashing on and off after i tried for hours to restore because of the first issue

Check and make sure you have enough battery life left. If not, this will cause the device to flash off and on. Second you can also make sure assisted touch is on so better assist you with the device multi-touch display.
Multi-Touch Assistaive settings can be adjusted under:
Settings--Accessibility--Assistive Touch Enable to toggle to ON position.
If the battery is not fully charged, plug it into a wall outlet with the proper charger and leave it plugged in until you see a Battery icon displayed on the display, once this is on you may see a little red at the bottom of the battery meaning that your battery was drained. This may also help resolve your issue.

  • How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

    I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

    You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide.  If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • IPhone mute bell randomly flashing on and off.

    I have an iPhone 3gs and the mute bell picture keeps randomly flashing on and off the screen. Doesn't affect calls but is very annoying. Only been doing it since IOS 5.0.1 update. It doesn't have a set pattern but is doing it more and more each day. Any suggestions? Thanks

    The switch is physically broken. It doesn't have anything to do with the software update, just coincidence.
    Take it to the Apple Store.

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps flashing on and off when charging?

    Okay. So everytime I go to charge the iPhone 5, it charges, but it flashes on and off while doing so.
    Does anyone else have the same problem? Is it supposed to do this?

    Hello Afelipe,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

    when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT201401 When using facetime my camera flashes on and off

    When using factime on my iphone 4s the camera starts flashing on and off and then eventually goes black. The only way to get the picture back is to switch to the rear camera and then back to the front camera and then it starts working again and then after a while it starts flashing again!

    I think you're full of manure because it is not widespread.
    It is not all over the news and it is not all over the Internet.
    No one here is an employee of Apple, even if they were, they are not speaking for Apple.
    Your options are:
    Do the basic troubleshooting as outlined in the User's Guide.
    If that fails to resolve you can either take it to Apple for evaluation or simply live with it.
    Making up stories about how some minor issue is widespread does nothing to further your purpose.
