    my iphone turned itself off and It wont turn back on

    Hi that worked for me! I thought it was a battery problem. I knew if I came to the Apple iPhone forum I'd find the answer. Now I've got to find some answers on increasing the battery charge as my phone is dead by 8 PM and I charge it fully every night!

  • Phone just turned itself off and wont turn back on

    iPhone turned itself off and won't turn back on

    Nope you won't lose any data, it just like restarting your PC.
    to back up look at this link  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    also I would import your photos over to your PC and a secondary back up, you can always sync those pics back using Itunes  heres a link on how to do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?

    Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
    I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
    I've had no problems with my new handset to date.

  • My iPhone turned itself off and wont turn back on

    I put my phone down on my desk the battery was at about 60 some odd percent, i come back from getting water and the phone is off, i have plugged it in, held the top and home button at the same time, held the top button only and nothing is turning it back on, any idea whats going on?? or what to do?
    thanks

    Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall charger, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for at leat 15 seconds or until an Apple logo appears.
    If that fails or nothing happens at all the phone is broken. If something happens (like any sort of screen display) but the phone does not restart within 5 minutes see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Anyone have any idea why there is an "error" when trying to activate iMessage? It randomly turned itself off and wont go back on.

    This just happened yesterday

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • TS2634 my iphone 4 lost signal this afternoon & turned itself off & now wont turn back on! help!!

    my iPhone 4 lost signal this afternoon, turned itself off & now wont turn back on!! please help????

    1. Reset phone - press both home and power buttons for up to 30 seconds until the Apple logo appears/
    2. If no response, plug into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes.
    3. Repeat Reset if no response to charging.
    4. If still no signs  of live, there is a hardware failure.  Take it to Apple or whovever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

  • HT1296 Since I downloaded iOS 7, my iPhone is constantly turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it used to be.  I want iOS 6 back!  How do I uninstall iOS 7?

    I downloaded iOS 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 keeps turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it was.  I want iOS 6 back!  How do I uninstall iOS 7?>

    So, after it charged and was still plugged in, I deleted the Exchange account and then reset it holding down the sleep wake buttons until the apple logo appeared. I also changed the limit on my emails to 3 days instead of 1 week.  It turned on, so I turned it off and let it charge overnight.  This morning, it stayed on for 3 whole hours and then shut itself off again.  I had to try 5 times to get it to come back on.  Now, a message appeared that Exchange cannot verify a server, I can't see the full name of the server anymore, but it is *.hotmail.com GlobalSign Root CA from Microsoft. So I'm selecting Accept to see what happens.  I'm very discouraged, I need my phone to be reliable for my work.  It was reliable for 11 months without one problem, and now since I downloaded iOS 7, it hasn't been on for one full day since.

  • 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.

  • Droid turned itself off, now wont turn back on

    I was using my phone when it turned itself off. now it wont go back on.  had it a while.  shouldnt have been hot.  took the battery out for a couple mintues and still nothing.  plugged it in and the light comes on when its chargeing.  the battery wasnt dead but it was chargeing.

    What type of Android do you have? What were you doing when it shut down? When you attempt to turn it back on, does it truly do nothing at all, or does it show a screen of some sort that doesn't proceed?
    You said that when you try to charge it, a light comes on. Is there an LED indicator on your particular Android that comes on, or is it a charging emblem on the screen that appears?
    It would probably be easier for you to bring it in to your local VZW and have them troubleshoot it for you.

  • Brand new 5s turned itself off, now wont switch back on?

    Using my phone was at about 20% battery, put it in my pocket and went to use 5 mins later and screen is black and wont switch back on. Has been sitting on charge for about 25 minutes and still nothing even when pressing or holding the home button or top switch. It was fresh out the box yesterday so less than 24hrs old! Any ideas?

    Keep in mind, the iPhone is really a mini-computer, & like all computers, sometimes(although rare with an iPhone) needs to be re-booted.
    For all pratical purposes, that's what a reset is.
