My Iphone has frozen on the startup screen! What to do!

Hi,
After battling with the upgrade all night, at 4 AM this morning, I finally had it all installed, so I attempted to sync it and put all my songs back on, this is where the BIG problems started! It was half way through syncing, when it ejected itself, SOMEHOW! This cause the phone to freeze, I reset it and it is now frozen on the startup screen with the apple logo, a constant reminder of how they've let me down! And now, when I plug it into to my PC it comes up with an error warning with the number 0xE8000035 and windows says there is a Hard Drive malfunction!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will happen again. I had the **** phone lockup on the startup screen twice in one day (lucky I had my macbook to restore) and I paid a visit to the genius bar.
Guy restored my phone and said that was it. I asked him how so, that is not a normal issue. He told me that my copy of the phone's firmware I downloaded from the server must be corrupt. I begrudgingly took the phone home.
After having it lockup three times in the week since I got it back, I'm going back to the store tommorow to have it switched out. I'll be that ****** off, rude customer who will give them sh** until they swap my phone out. I'm very unhappy with apple as a company right now, all they do is stall fixing the problem by doing an instore restore and sending you home, hoping you won't come back. I don't care if I have to cancel my contract, I'm not dealing with this problem anymore with this phone. I can't be going entire days without any contact as a manager in a retail store.
My question to the experts is:
COULD this be hardware related? Somehow the phone is not reading the firmware correctly and causing this problem. That's how I'm seeing the problem...

If you are having the same issue on several computers then it is a hardware issue! Not a software issue! Replacement is the only resolution!

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

My iphone is frozen on the lock screen

Connect it to iTunes and see if you can restore it.

Iphone is frozen on the apple screen. Was freezing and so turned it off and now it will not reboot?

My iphone started acting slow and would become frozen as I tried to re-download facebook. I turned the phone off and now it will not turn back on and stays frozen on the apple screen. Is it possible that viruses can be downloaded on the iphone?

Try a force restart by holding the power and home button down at the same time. One of two things will PROBABLY happen; 1) It will boot into iOS as normal. 2) You will get an iTunes logo with a USB cable at the bottom. If the second happens you will need to plug it into iTunes to do a restore. If neither of these happen, force restart again. Once the phone powers off, let go of both buttons and push and hold the home button and plug the phone into iTunes. This will force the phone into recovery mode. Proceed with a restore at that point.

My IPhone is frozen on the lock screen, and will not restart or respond to ITunes. What do I do?

I really need help. It's not functioning at all. It's frozen on the home screen, will not respond to Itunes, or its charger, it wont turn off, no matter how many times you hold down the Lock button. What do I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

My iPhone is frozen at the lock screen and will not unlock

For the past few months my iPhone 4S has been not acting good since I updated it to iOS 7. At random times it will go to a black screen and not respond for certain amount for time. Well today my iPhone went to that black screen and would not respond. Once I had someone call my phone the black screen went away and started acting normal as usual. Then once I tried to slide and unlock my phone it would not respond, When I tried to connect it to iTunes it connects and backs up but it will not restore. It had be stuck on the lock screen for almost 3 hours. battery life shows 100%. It shows the time as 8:38 because that is the time it stopped responding. The slide to unlock is still glowing but I can not slide to unlock my phone.
I have no clue on what is going or how to fix the problem. Could someone please help.

My mac screen comes out with white fuzzy lines going across the screen, it used to just go back to normal and out of no where it freezes and the white fuzzy lines go across the screen. Now it is frozen at the opening screen. what do i do?

My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.

I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

A app has dissapear of the home screen what do i do

An app has disappear off my home screen i tried to download it again then it open up as i still have it ?

Hello Tertia,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to locate an app on my iPhone. It sounds like you can open the app when you view your purchased items in the iTunes Store, so it sounds like it's still on your iPhone.
I recommend searching for the app on your iPhone using the steps below. If the app is in a folder, you will see the folder name to the right of the app in the search results:
Search iPhone. Drag down the middle of any Home screen to reveal the search field. Results occur as you type; to hide the keyboard and see more results on the screen, tap Search. Tap an item in the list to open it.
You can also use Spotlight Search to find and open apps.

Why is my iphone 3gs frozen on the load screen when i restart my phone

it is stuck with the apple sign on the screen right after my phone restarted.

Hi there,
For how long does the logo remain static..? If it's for up to 3-4 minutes then I'd say it's okay (albeit it is a long time) but if it's 5-10 minutes or more then okay there's a fault of some kind I guess.
I went through a phase where my 3GS would restart and seemingly get stuck at the Apple logo, for what seemed forever. Killing the phone and forcing it to restart would see it restart a lot quicker. Odd though that if I'd left it alone then after 3-4 mins it would start on its own.

My Iphone is frozen on the download screen and won't turn off, how do I fix it?

I tried to download the IOS 5.0.1 and for some reason the screen froze and won't turn off. I tried shutting it off, but it won't do anything. Any ideas?!

This happened with my phone also. I unplugged it from the computer, and held down both the on / off key and the centre command key for about 20 seconds. This then restarted the phone and allowed me to restore it through itunes. Hope this helps

HT4061 My screen has frozen on the lock screen

I have tried re-setting my phone. I can do this but afterwards, the screen is still locked. I need help please as my phone is unusable at the moment

Press and hold the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
If the problem continues, restore the device, first from backup then as new until the problem is resolved.
If this does not resolve, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

My iphone has frozen on lock how do i fix this

my iphone has frozen on the lock screen, how do i fix this.

Did you try holding the power button and home button until the apple logo appears?
Are you able to connect to itunes? If you can, back it up and restore.
If nothing else, take it to the apple store and have the genius look at it. If they can't resolve it then they will likely to replace your phone.
