My iPhone won't come off the Apple logo when turning on.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I accidentally left my iPhone 4 outside on the table for a week or so and upon charging the iPhone came on as usual and worked as usual, apart from I had to hold the off button and the home button at the same time for it to turn on but this worked first time however. When the iPhone then died and I charged it again the apple logo appears for a while, then disappears and then re-appears. I've tried holding the home button and the off button at the same time but that doesn't seem to do anything but make the iPhone show the Apple logo again.
I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this iPhone as I need it dearly or would I need to get a new one completely.
Thank you. 

Did it get liquid damaged?
Look inside the headphone port, you will either be able to see a red or a white dot at the end of it.
If it is white, then you should be ok from liquid damage.
Next thing to do is to plug phone into iTunes, then to hold home and power button for 10 seconds, then let go of power but keep hold of home. iTunes should say it has discovered an iPhone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Restore it and see if that does it. If it doesn't, then yeh, its dead

    my iphone 4 will not get off the apple logo screen.

    It also doesn't do anything when plugged into my mac,
    itunes will not recognize it at all.

    thank you !

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • HT1386 I plugged my Ipod into my laptop and it wont go off the apple logo, when i open itunes it wont even come up with my ipod and recovery and DFU mode dont change things. How can i fix this?

    it wont go off the apple logo, putting it in recovery and DFU mode dosent change a thing, how can i fix it?

    See if you missed anything here
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IMac won't get past the Apple page when turned on...

    I just bought a new iMac about a month ago. It is the 21.5" basic system. Of course the first thing that I did with it was update the software and have set it to update automatically, so everything should be golden there... Today when I walked by and turned it on it came on like normal, but that was it. The white screen with the Apple in the middle came on and then the loading icon popped up underneath it. It has been loading since... After about an hour and a half, I shut it off by holding the power button in, unplugged the modem, unplugged the iMac then plugged only the iMac back up. Turned on the power again. It powered up but did the same thing. Is something loading, updates maybe? If so it is something different than any of the other updates it has uploaded so far. THis is a new one on me.
    I might add that this is my first Mac. I went with it because I get tired of rebooting my PC each year (I actually just did my PC again...bummer). Now if the iMac has already crashed, I am severely dissapointed in Mac. I have not downloaded anything that I shouldn't have, or anything that was even suspicious. In fact the only real things I have downloaded are Firefox and some of the add ons and a trial version of PS.
    Can anyone help me, tell me it is normal and it will be ok?

    It sounds like the update may have bee interrupted somehow and became corrupted, possible a power spike at your house. However I wouldn't get too upset. You have 90 days of free telephone support so now is a good time to use it. The number is in your owners manual.
    You can also try doing a SMC and PRAM resets, this is probably what Apple will have you do to begin with so you can be pro-active and try them and if they don't fix the problem you can just let the tech know. The instructions for doing each reset are:
    _SMC RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    _PRAM RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    • Release the keys.
    Also this is a good time to plug AppleCare. AppleCare will extend your warranty and phone support to 3 years from the date of purchase. If you don't already have it I'd recommend it, Apple charges $169 however you can pick it up from Amazon for less. You can only get it while the machine is covered by it's one year warranty. Let it go 366 days and you're out of luck.

    Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
    Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.

  • HT4528 My iphone won't go past the apple screen

    I was having difficulties with my iPhone 4 around 1ish eastern time so I decided that turning it off would help.. When I tried turning it back on it woudn't go past the apple logo. I decided it'd be best to let it rest. I've tried the recovery mode and it didn't do anything. I tried connecting it to my computer and it didn't do anything. Now 7 hours later I have it plugged in and it still won't go past the apple logo. Someone anyone.. Please help me!! Thanks in advance

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign in.  It will not let me sign in, nor can I power it off.  Help!

    My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign on screen.  It will not let me sign on or power off.  It started about 20 mins ago.  One of my friends started having the same issue at the same time.  How can I fix this?

    Hi Bucky16,
    If you haven't already done so, you may want to reset the iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes:

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

    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!
