My iphone will not switch on

my iphone will not switch on can some one help

My phone did the same thing a few hours ago and I too went into panic mode.  I called and was told how to do the "hard reset" by holding down the on/off button and the home button.  That did enable me to get it turned on however now I cannot get it to stay connected to the cellular network.  It will connect for a few minutes but nothing consistent.  It has been extremely frustrating.  It seems to be a hardware issue (or maybe software since I did update to iOS 5) more so than a cellular provider issue.  Reason I say that is because I have not had any connectivity issues prior to this;  it was only after the whole phone shuts itself off that it started.
Now, what the tech told me, and it made sense, was that I need to close all my open apps and turn the phone off more often than what I have been.  That will help clear out the temporary memory.  The phone might have just bogged down due to excessive memory usage and then shut itself off.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • My iphone will not switch on unless I plug in to charge once I unplug it switches off again

    My iphone 4 won't switch on unless I plug into charge - once I unplug it switches off again and is only charging upto 78% and not letting my option for WiFi either - any ideas?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. More than likely, either the battery needs to be replaced ($70) or the phone does ($199).

  • My iphone 4s wont switch on or reset. i spoke to apple earier and they will replace the phone under warranty. i didnt back up my phone on itunes or icloud. as the phone will not switch on i am unable to do this now. any ideas how i can get these off?

    My iphone 4s will not switch on. Supposidly it has been "charging" all day and stll it does not have enough life to switch on. Rang Apple this morning and they will replace the phone under warrenty free of charge. Only problem is with this being my first Apple product i didnt realise my phone did not automatically back up on itunes or icloud as i had to set this up.
    Now i am trying desperately to get my phone to switch on so that i can save all of the baby pictures of my 7 month old son and its not working. i have tried to reset the phone but it does nothing!!
    Can anyone PLEASE help as i am very upset and do not want to lose these precious memories?

    You cannot get Applecare plus now.
    It is unlikely that they will replace as it is damaged.  The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the genius and and see what they say.

  • My iphone 4 will not switch on.

    My iphone 4 will not switch on. Its only 3 months old and was working this morning. Now all of a sudden its not switching on. I have charged the phone and no battery icon is coming on. What should I do?

    If it isn't responding to any of those steps it might prove difficult to extract data from the phone.
    So again your best bet may be the Apple Store, they would be able to help retrieve it I expect.

  • My Iphone 4 will not switch off silent .... Please help.

    I Updated My IPhone 4 on the 2nd of Jan 2013 and since then it will not switch off silent mode with the switch on the side of the phone , does any one know what i can do or if there is any other way to switch it off silent ?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, shown here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still not luck, you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contact Apple to get it serviced:

    My iPhone 4s will not switch to landscape view when streaming a video on Facebook. It works on YouTube and safari, just not Facebook. Help?

    Well I deleted the Facebook app and reinstalled the latest version to try to correct the issue and it still didnt work. I had changed a bunch of settings earlier to try and fix it and it worked for the video to be landscape but as soon as I closed out of the app and re-opened it then it quit working.
