my iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

Turn it off by holding home+ power button untill the screen goes black ( as soon as it goes black, release the buttons).. This might take some practice , so dont worry if on the first try your phone reboots and goes to itunes screen again.
Now, with your phone powered off, enter DFU mode:
Method 1)
Attach the phone to the pc
Turn the phone off
Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
Whilist in dfu mode, itunes will recognize the device and it will ask you if you wish to restore it. Simply click restore, and the restoring proces will begin.
This will hopefully fix your iphone.
Cheers

  • IPhone 6 stuck on red screen/apple logo

    Brand new iPhone 6 randomly crashed and is stuck alternating between a red screen and the apple logo.
    Tried to do a full restore through iTunes but no luck. Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

    Hello there, markmoor16.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting iOS when it is not fucntioning as expected:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    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 it 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. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    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.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone 6 stuck in red screen starting loop and won't restore.

    Ok, so i've been using my iPhone 6 happily since release day, the only problem I had was a flickering white line at the bottom of the screen while browsing certain webpages and using certain apps. It got to the stage where it was annoying me enough to make me contact apple support. The advisor told me to reset my settings and that should fix the problem... It didn't, it has just made things a whole lot worse! My phone failed to restart after resetting my settings, and has been stuck in a startup loop ending with a red screen for about an hour now. I tried a hard reset with no luck, and now I've just tried restoring it using iTunes, but the restore process says it will take 25 HOURS! ..After about five minutes, and while still connected to iTunes, my phone started going back through the red screen loop and the restore looks like it won't do anything. Please help! I tried to contact apple live chat again, but conveniently it's not available at this moment...
    Cheers,
    Matt

    yes, just to say a big thank you to Apple ...realizing today while browsing these forums that I haven't been the only one. Happened to me when I updated from 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 OTA... device (iPhone 4s) stuck in recovery mode ... how nice, this has never ever happened to me after years of using iOS, whether I updated OTA or via iTunes, never. I was then delighted to experience the restore process ... wasted hours doing that thanks again ! (I have many apps and a big backup so...). Seriously, this is unacceptable.

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen. 

  • My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"

    My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"
    Last previous action:  Used Firewire cable and "Target Mode" to copy files from G4 eMac to the PowerBook.
    I worked from the eMac to the PowerBook, making the PowerBook the "Target".      Files seemed to transfer OK.     Won't boot from InstallDisc.  Holding down T on startup results in Target mode screen.   I have a G4 iMac and a G4 eMac.    Can I use either of these with Firewire cable to boot-up my PowerBook ?
    I'm new to using this Communities & Forums Help.   Can someone please help me to get going again ! !     Thanks for your time.  Graflood

    Hello,
    It sounds to me like the PowerBook is stuck in target disk mode.
    It's expecting the iMac/eMac to be there when booting. Seeming it's not attached, it will show a flashing folder.
    If your PowerBook internal drive is bootable, then simply hold down the option key when booting and select it's internal hard drive. That should boot your PowerBook into Mac OS X.

    Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device.  Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)  Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Delete the App, then reinstall it.
    Test the issue after each step.  Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step.

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

  • My iphone 4 music player doesn't display the arabic songs names ?

    My iphone 4 music player doesn't display the ARABIC songs names ?

    ok i found the solution here by deleting the corrupted library
    http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html 
    now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
    these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
    Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
    \private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
    \private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
    \private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db 
    TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
    TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97)

    Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen.  Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.
