My iphone has turned itself off and asking to be connected to itunes however i cant put the passcode in

my iphone has turned itself off and asking to be connected to itunes however i cant put the passcode in for itunes to restore it as it will only let me make emergency calls. Any help?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • My I phone5c has turned itself off and won't turn back on,have only had it 3 weeks,any ideas anyone?

    My iPhone 5c has turned itself off and won't turn back on, any ideas anyone?

    Hey Jswalker1969,
    Thanks for the question. If your iPhone is not powering on, see the following troubleshooting steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    4. After at least 30 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    Thanks for your help. I tried plugging it in but nothing happened, I actually still had battery power left. I was able to solve my problem by holding down the power and home buttons, which reset the phone and got it started again.
    Thanks for trying

  • My iphone 4 has turned itself off and I cant get it back on, it had a full battery before it cut off.

    My Iphone 4 has just turned itself off and I cant turn it back on. It had a full battery before it cut off so its definetly not the battery, however I have found recently that the battery has been running out really quickly. any ideas what to do? Thanks

    Try resetting your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • IPhone 4 has turned itself off and will not power up. Tried all of the suggestions on Apple's site. No luck. Any help?

    My iPhone 4 turned itself off, even though it is fully charged. It will not turn back on.
    I tried the "hold down the button for ten or more seconds" remedy, to no avail.
    I tried plugging it in to reset it using iTunes, but iTunes won't find the phone.
    What else can I do?
    The nearest AT&T store is over 10 miles away and it's after closing time...
    Please help!

    I seem to have found the answer by my own foolishness....
    I held down the on/off button on top and the "belly button" on the front bottom and whoosh! it came back to life.
    It would sure be nice if Apple would restore the Troubleshooting area of their website and include information like this so Luddites like myself could keep a lower blood pressure....

  • Iphone 4 turned itself off and will not turn on

    does anyone know of a way to get phone that has turned itself off to come back on?

    Charge it, then try to turn it on. If it still shows no sign of life, hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds until it comes to life. If it still doesn't come to life, take it in to the Apple Store and have it looked at.

  • Iphone 5c turns itself off and won't turn on until plugged in

    I just received my replacement iPhone 5c and it worked fine the first night, the next day, the phone turned itself off, and would not let me turn it back on. I tried the reset option by holding down the lock and the home buttons, but that did not work. my phone only turns on when it is plugged in. It then shows me that battery is lows, and then powers on ad says 100% charged.
    My lower screen blinks while it is plugged in as well.....
    Any help?

    You might have a bad battery. But first try recalibrating the battery gauge. Run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off and doesn't restart. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger. Repeat the process. If the problem remains you need a new battery.

  • My iphone has switched itself off and will not turn on

    Help!!!!, My I phone has switched itself off for no apparent reason today and now refuses to switch back on again!, hit has been working fine and is less than a year old.

    Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • My iphone 4 turned itself off and will not turn back on! Ive tried everything can anybody help me?

    Hi,
    My iphone was working on Friday night and when I woke up it had turned itself off!
    I left it a few days and it worked again for about 30 mins and has turned back off again! Ive checked the water sensors which are fine, held both buttons down together for over a minute, nothing, plugged it into the charger, nothing, and onto itunes which shows a message to say "your iphone is in recover mode". Can anyone suggest anything else I can do as its been 3 days now!!!
    Thanks

    You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.
