My iphone keeps cycling apple logo, it won't power up when connected to a computer. I can power it up with just a power source, but the it comes up to a generic iphone "no service" screen

This phone worked great for 2 years until I inherited it from my partner.  Since we changed the phone over to me, it has done this 4 times. The last 3 times it somehow magically came back after taking the Sim card out and putting it back in. I even went and got another new Sim card, in case that was the problem. Apparently it is not, because now I cannot get it to come back at all. I get either the generic gray "no service" screen, or it just cycles the apple logo. I've tried holding the buttons down together, separately, everything. Nothing seems to work. Since the phone is no longer under warranty, am i basically screwed?

Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • IPhone keeps flickering apple logo and won't turn on, any suggestions?

    So I have a 4s 16 GB with the latest version of iOS 7 and just randomly as I was texting my friend my iPhone crashed. When I try to turn it on the apple logo stays flickering. I tried to enter in recovery mode and restore my iPhone but each time before the restore starts loading on the iPhone i get an error message 9. I have the latest version of iTunes and as well as the latest version of OS X on my macbook. I do not have any warranty on my phone which is why I haven't bothered calling apple. Any suggestions? I'd greatly aprreciate it.

    Howdy therye9,
    It sounds like you are at this point unable to restore your phone due to error code 9. According to the following article, there maybe some security software interfering with communication to the update server so thats where I would start:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#9
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • After sending my ipod back to apple they sent me a replacement which when connected to i tunes wiped out my library, do i just delete itunes then reinstall? but how do i keep purchases?

    i sent my ipod back to apple with a duff battery. Apple, instead of returning original ipod with new battery actually sent me a new ipod with different serial number which then totally corrupted my itunes because i didn't know, i then wrecked it some more by trying to hook up a new iphone before i found i cannot have more than 1 itunes account on the same PC!!!   HELP.

    Check this support document for SIM issues http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148. No one here is Apple, we are users like you. We can only recommend you try Apple again, unless you are close to an Apple store and can make an appointment to go in there.

  • Iphone stucking at apple logo

    hey i changed my iphone touch screen and my iphone doesnt come up anymor it stuck on apple logo please someone help me !!!!

    Nothing that we can help you with.  You screwed up your phone trying to fix it yourself.  What would you like us to do?
    Apple won't even touch your phone now.  Either buy a new phone or bring it in to a 3rd party repair shop and see if it can be salvaged.

    My iphone 3g is stuck on the apple logo and wont even turn off, or connect to itunes. what do i do?

    I've got the same problem.
    I wanted to download the new itunes version for iphone but it got stuck. I had no choice but disconnecting my iphone. Then I couldn't sync it anymore.
    I switched off my phone by holding down the sleep button but it has never successfully switched off. The round thing still turns.
    I've tried to connect it back to the itunes. This is the error message I get: itunes can't connect to the iphone. Code 0xE8000065. I tried to find out what error message this is but the apple support site I saw didn't mention this error code.
    Can anyone help? Thaaanks!
