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.

I'm trying to update iphone 4s to 5.1 but when plugged into Itunes it says network connection cannot be established and error downloading 5.1

I'm having trouble updating software for my iphone 4s from 5.0.1 to 5.1 but each time i plug into itunes to download it says network connection cannot be established and the phone just says an error has occured. What can i do?

If you don't have iOS 5, plug your iPhone into your computer, select it in iTunes, and in the Summary, click Check for Update.
If you do have iOS 5, it has onboard updates so you don't have to plug it in, just go to Settings, click General, click Software Update and you will be presented with iOS 5.1 which came out a few hours ago. Both my iPhone 3GS and iPad are already updated to iOS 5.1 now.

Can i stop vibration when plugged into power source?

Hi Folks,
First time poster,
my wife is heavily pregnant and has been going to bed about 7pm, everytime I sneak into bed later on the night and plug my Iphone 4s into power to charge in DnD mode it vibrates and wakes her, she is getting really annoyed with this now and suggests I get an Andriod phone like the one she owns which does not do this.
How Can I stop the viration when I plug the phone into power? I do not wish to hack or cannibalise my Iphone. I need my phone next to the bed as I use it as my alarm clock and for emergencies.
thanks
J

If you don't mute the phone using the mute switch on the side, it will not vibrate plugging it into the charger or dock. But it will make a short sound instead.

daughter forgot passcode on iphone 4s try restore itunes but when plugged in the home button wnt work

I find it hard to believe that so many people can forget a FOUR digit password that they use every day on their phone! For goodness sakes write it down somewhere!!
Contact Apple Support in your country and see what they can do to help.

Why after update Iso 5 by iPhone and not open, without using Itune. Just screen keep show apple logo for few hours already.

Try to reset - Press both the home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo reappears.

My iphone won't turn on and when I connected it to Itunes all it shows is the It unes symbol

My Iphone won't turn on. I connect it to Itunes it doesnt do anything but show the Itunes symbol. And the top button is broken.

but without a working sleep/wake button you have a problem

My IPAD said it became "disabled" yesterday and told me to "try again" in 36 minutes. It's been 12 hours and now it won't turn on. When I try, it flashes a screen showing an ICON indicating connect to ITunes. Help! How do I reset?

My IPad indicated yesterday that it was "disabled" and told me to "try again" in 30 minutes. It's been over 15 hours and it won't turn on. When I try to turn it on, it gives me an Icon message indicating that I need to connect the Ipad to a ITunes. How do I reset or "enable" it to begin working again? Thanks very much.

You will probably have to restore via Recovery Mode as suggested above. The passcode locked you out (I assume) and you can't bypass it in order to restore the conventional way. Read the instructions here.

Refurb iphone 4 powers on with wall charger, but when i plug into computer it just flashes the apple logo on and off. i just took it out of the box.

trying to sync, but when i disconnect from wall charger it sort of dies until i plug it into the usb cord, the the apple logo rolls on and off

nevermind i just realized that its because the battery is flat dead.

Why won't my ipad charged when plugged into a computer?

I have a new ipad and for some reason it will sync etc when plugged into one of our computers but it won't charge.
My husbands one charges in the same USB port and on any computer but when I put my ipad into the same ports it says "not charging"why?
Thank you

Most computer USB ports don't have enough power to charge an iPad. Typically, the iPad can only be charged with the supplied adapter. If your husband's iPad is actually charging, it's charging very, very slow.
See p. 33-34 of the User Guide.

HT1349 i pad won't turn on even after plugging into computer?

I pad will not turn on even after plugging into computer and into wall. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPhone won't turn on but shows up in iTunes?

Hi everyone. My iPhone suddenly shut off after a phone call, and since then won't turn on. Unfortunately, I cannot restart it because a few weeks ago my lock button stopped working. When I plugged it into my computer, it is showing up on iTunes but is still not turning on. No idea what to do. Thanks for all your help!

Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

The screen of my iPhone won't turn on but the touch is still responsive

I went to sleep with my iPhone 4s next to me. When I woke up my phone would not cut on. Siri still works and I can still unlock my phone but the screen won't cut on. The touch is still on though because I can put my pass code in and unlock my phone. I've already tried holing down the home button and power button AND charging it. Neither of them worked.

Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
More > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone

ITouch has a black screen as if it's off but when plugged into the computer it says it's on. I have to wait until the battery dies to charge it and turn it back on.

I've tried restarting it. When the battery finally dies and I get to turn it back on, it works for a while until it freezes, then I click the power button to put it on standby and then the screen won't turn back on but the computer says it's still on. However, the computer won't detect the device.

When this happens hold the HOME and SLEEP button at the same time for about 10 seconds until an Apple logo appears. If that works we still need to find out why it is locking up.
