Hi there ella_dunne,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
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.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
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.
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.
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.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Good afternoon. I have a problem. During the upgrade Iphone 4 c IOS 4.3.5 to 5.0.1, I pulled the cord. Now I can not restore theIphone. Just lost imei, Wi-Fi, and phone became unusable. What should I do?
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -

I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with like 68% left.
Morning Clementine Lin,

It sounds like you have restrictions turned on on the device. Settings>General>Restrictions.

My iPhone keeps saying my Apple ID has been disabled ?
I tried to download an app that will allow me to have different color keyboards and a message popped up saying my Apple ID had been disabled . I went to the apple and talked to someone on how to fix it but it hadn't been working . Then I told my girlfriend who owns an IPhone 5 about the app I wanted . As soon as she entered her password to download it she also saw the same thing . Her Apple ID has been disabled . Can anyone help please . We have tried multiple time to reset our password for I cloud and apple And nothing is working !
Hi Nico , Contact your bank they may have disabled your credit/ debit card because of an unusual amount of small purchaches of APPS , ALBUMS etc....... Has your name been changed if so create a new Apple ID and RELAX. BANKS TREAT THIS AS FRAUD they may need you to confirm you purchased them APPS.

My ipod was updating overnight. I woke up to find the screen frozen with the itunes logo and the usb charger. I've tried hooking it up to itunes but it says I need to restore and update but I've tried to do that and it won't. What should I do?
- Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
- Next try DFU mode and restore.

Give the Lady her money back then try and get your money back don,t buy
from someone off the street buy from shop or webb site ie EBAY but still be careful
no no one can unlock a blocked iPhone only the owner who has the correct

I have a certified cable that came in with my iPhone5. Since I upgraded to iOS7, I've been getting the "This cable is not certified..." but still have my phone charged. Now, it just don't charge anymore. Any solutions? I made sure it has no debris. Tried all the possible solutions found here but no no no. It's a new charger I don't want to buy anymore it'll cost me a lot
restore your iPhone with back up and then if required as new
