    Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    1. On your iPhone 4 press and hold both the button and the Home button for about ten seconds. After ten seconds you should see the Apple logo showing up.
    2. Now try to run you phone again and see if it works.
    If a hard reset the still can't get the device back to a working order.
    1. Plug in the device to the cumputer and start iTunes.
    2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake + Home for 10 seconds.
    3. Once you see the Apple Logo appears, release the power and continue to hold down the home button for about 5-10 seconds. Look iniTunes and see if your device have shows up.
    4. iTunes will notify you that you are now in Recovery mode. Click on OK to continue with the restore process.
    5. Next press and hold on the SHIFT button and click on the Restore button. Select the latest IPSW file and the prompt appears.
    6. iTunes should now attempt to get your device back to the manufacturer setting.
    7. iTunes will later give you an opportunity to restore you content from the PC. Every time when you do a sync, iTunes makes a backup so you can choose the latest backup from the sync.

  • HT4623 the screen of my iphone 4s has gone off for 14hours now. And this happened some hours after updating to the iOS 7.0.6

    please the screen of my iphone 4s has been off for 14hours though the phone is on and calls come through. And i'm not able to answer these calls cos the screen is not responding. please what can i do to get my display back.Thanks

    try a hard reset
    hold down the home button and the power button at the same time until u see an apple.
    if u never see the apple even after holding those buttons down for a while u will need to restore the iphone's software using itunes on a computer.

  • Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have

    Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have to click on OK EVERY TIME I open the program when I'm away from wifi.

    That is how it works in general, not just for Numbers. It irritates me on other apps at times, although I can see an argument that if it didn't do that then people would complain about missing functionality after they forgot they had turned data off for an app. At any rate, this is a user to user support forum and we can't do anything about it. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, following is a place to do that: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • HT201210 Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone.  I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts"  Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them,

    Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone.  I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts"  Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go. 
    Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone. 

    I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

  • Blackberry turn off for reboot and not getting started....

    Blackberry turn off for reboot and not getting started.... what can  I do ? thank you

    Hey peselvam,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do a clean reload of the device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any backup data to the device.
    I hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 4s randomly shut off last night and won't come back on. what do i do?

    My iPhone 4s randomly turned off last night and it won't come back on.  It shut off with plenty of battery life last night, but just in case, I've had it plugged into the charger all night. Still nothing has happened. Any advice?

    hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • My iphone 5 has turned off and wont turn back on.

    as above my phone has turned off and won't come back on.  Its been sat on charge for the past half hour and i have tried doing the reset but nothing is being displayed on the screen. I have even tried connecting it to the computer but its not being picked up by my computer. what can i do?

    When you tried to reset the phone, did you hold both the Sleep/Wake button & Home button long enough? It can take 30 or more seconds for the Apple logo to appear. Try again.
