My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Suggestions: 1. make sure you have the lates version of iTunes; 2. try resetting your iPhone before syncing (
Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears; when you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot); 3. try using a different cable. -
My ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink
my ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink, thank you
First, make sure that it's fully charged.
Then, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -

It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

Help iPHONE 4 HAS ERROR 21 AND HAS BLACKSCREEN HOW CAN I FIX IT
STOP SHOUTING! Please turn off your CAPS lock.
Then, try a search of the forums... you'll find an answer a lot faster than you will get a response. -
So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!
- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

My iphone will not turn on.... it froze earlier today and now it will not turn on all i get is a black screen with the apple symbol every once in awhile... also it will not connect to my computer so i can reset it to factory settings
Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

My iphone will not turn on at all even when i do a hard restart. how can i fix this?
My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?
Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

Purchased iTunes content can be re-downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Any photos in your camera roll, not previously imported to your computer, you will lose. You should be regularly importing these photos, as the iPhone's camera roll is not designed as a storage device.
Had you been regularly syncing/backing up, you wouldn't lose anything. Now you know, don't backup your data, and you will eventually lose it all, guaranteed. -
I just subscribed to imatch while logged in to iTunes on a mac computer that belongs to someone else. (I was logged in to MY iTunes) my iPhone will not turn on the MATCH function, saying I am no subscribed. I've powered off and on. can anyone help?
Hi,
I am having the same problem. Itunes reports that it's uploaded all the music etc.
When I turn the match function on, it says "you are not currently subscribed to itunes match".
I have restarted the phone and coputer, logged in & out several times to no avail.
Any ideas or suggestions? -
I have an iPhone 4 and it will not turn on. I plug in and says connect to iTunes. I connect it and it won't restore. What can I do? Please help

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart. -
My iphone is not turn on when i turn on it it stops on apple logo
my iphone is not turn on when i turn on it it stops on apple logo
1: PLUG YOUR IPOD INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!!
2: HOLD THE "HOLD" AND THE "MENU" BUTTON UNTIL THE TOUCH'S SCREEN GOES BLACK AND SHOWS THE APPLE LOGO AGAIN THEN RELEASE THE BUTTONS!!!
3: WAIT ABOUT 5-15 MINUTES!!!
4: YOUR COMPUTER WILL MAKE A "CHIME" SOUND AND THEN THE IPOD WILL SHOW THE LOCKED SCREEN WITH THE BATTERY LOGO...
Happy Holidays! -
HT1349 my iphone will not turn on or charge?
my iphone will not turn on or charge it is the 4s and only 2 months old
The same when connected to the power adaptor?
Do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?
If not and you are in the U.S. or in any country where AppleCare is available and/or an Apple store, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. The iPhone includes a one year warranty. -

Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.
