My iphone won't start after I reset all settings

My iphone won't turn on after 4 hours after I reset all settings. What do I do?

Hi, try to put your iPhone into recovery mode and do the restore again. Here are the steps:
After then, connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes. Click Recovery iPhone and then follow the prompts it tells you to do.

    My phone won't work after i reset all contents

    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. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

  • IPhone won't activate after "auto" reset

    Hi,
    I went to bed at 10:30pm last night, set my iPhone alarm for 05:30am this morning, dimmed my brightness to its lowest setting (as I always do, so I don't get blinded when I check the time during the night) and then left my phone beside my bed.
    This morning, when the alarm went off, I couldn't switch it off, because my iphone was in the middle of some "restore" after doing what can only be called an "automatic" reset.  I had to switch the phone off to stop the alarm.
    Now, I can't get past the activation screen and keep getting the "Your iphone could not be activated because the server is temporarily unavailable" screen.  No matter HOW many times I try, or how long I wait between tries, it just won't complete this part.
    I followed the advice in various forums, and tried connecting to iTunes.  However, iTunes says "The software on the iphone has expired and must be updated to a new version" - all of which I find extremely strange as:
    1)  My iPhone is (was - God only knows what it's on now) on the latest build of 5.1
    2)  iTunes is on version 10.6 (updated recently)
    3)  When I clear the iTunes message, it tries to sync the phone but, obviously as the phone hasn't yet activated after the auto-reset, can't.
    4)  The iTunes screen showing the iPhone information states that the software is the latest version and doesn't need changing.
    I'm now stuck with an iPhone which doesn't work and I don't live near an Apple store either - only a Stormfront store
    Anybody got any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    I have a similar situation. I woke up with a 'bricked' iPhone. I can't get into it as I had a beta version installed and the beta has expired. I used that beta version because the stable iOS 5.0 gave me a SIM error every so many hours (after which I needed to turn on and off my phone). Tried everything, and installing the beta solved that issue for me (really glad it did). I installed it as a non developer.
    I now can't update the iOS through iTunes, I can't get in my phone, I simply can't use the device as I can not get passed the developer screen. I can't even backup because a session cannot be started from iTunes. All iTunes is saying is "The software on the iphone has expired and must be updated to a new version" and when I check for update, it gives back "This version of the iPhone software (5.1) is the current version".
    So I'm stuck with a great device which doesn't work.    

  • OS won't start after PRAM reset

    I was having problems with my battery, so I tried to reset the PRAM to see if that would help, but now I have a whole new issue...When I try to start up my computer, I get a circle with a slash through it (a symbol that usually means 'no'). This shows up right after the apple logo when I try to start up my laptop.
    I used disk utility on my installation cd to check if there was a problem with my hard drive, but it said it was ok.
    What did I do? Do I have to reinstall my OS, will that even help?
    Thanks for you help.

  • G5 WON'T START AFTER SMU RESET

    Hi!
    my G5 won't start... tried a lot of stuff to make it run - i.e. swop feed cable (a big trouble to get one like it); rest SMU; connect it to another mac via firewire -, but nothing. only the start_up light is on.
    any ideas?
    thanks,
    strawb

    Unless your G5 is one of the dual cores you have a PMU not an SMU. To reset follow the directions here:

    " I tried getting the solution online and it said, reset your pc and I did."
    Just what solution was that and where was it? Stating that a solution was online is a truly broad statement as it encompasses the entire internet that is accessible to you.
    If you made the mistake of using  the Windows 8 refresh utility, then your data is gone. 
    Provide some specific information so we can try to help you.

  • Iphone won't start after crash

    My iPhone 4S crashed and restarted but fails to wake up. It restarts but then stops and restarts again. It won't stop until the battery is dead but does the same as soon as I plug it in.
         Can I wipe and reset to factory without connecting it?

    My iPhone 4 just crashed. It happened a few days ago, and then started working fine. But once again it crashed yesterday. It took me 2 hours for itunes to finally recognize it so I was able to restore it. It worked fine for an hour and crashed again, now it will not start up at all. The screen went from the regular black with the apple logo to now flickering and acting crazy. Ive had this phone since August as a replacement from my old iphone 4. I'm not impressed. It's in perfect shape, i have not dropped it or got water into it. I have an appointment with Apple today in hopes they'll have some sympathy and simply replace the phone since the phone they gave me refurbished was  defective (the sound stopped working a few months ago) I refuse to pay a cent for an iPhone 4 to be repaired. Depending on how they act today, will be the decision of whether I stay with Apple or move to Android.

  • IPod won't start after hard reset - help appreciated

    I had a problem with syncing my iPod with iTunes. I connected and it strated syncing alright. After a couple of seconds everything froze. Smart as I am I thought there might be some errors on any of my disks the syncing process is reading from. Couldn't find anyhting though. My secodn guess would that I just bought a new external hard drive to which I transferred my library (maybe the iPod didn't knwo where to look).
    So my best guess was to perform a hard reset and re-sync everything. So I hooked up the iPod and quickly pressed the stop syncing button before nayhting could freeze. That worked well. You probably can guess what happened when performed the hard reset.....everything froze. And now.....my iPod is trying to restart, but at a certain point I hear the drive disconnect and starting up again. This keeps repeating over and over again. Hooking it up to my macbook has no avail. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mail wont start - can i reset all settings

    I haven't used mail on my leopard until now, been using entourage. Now I want to switch. I have used mail since OSX came out until quite recently so I am familiar with it.
    Its all set up correctly but on 'get mail' the progress window shows it is 'gathering children' and thats all I get - no progress and a force quit is required.
    Can I get back to vanilla and start all over? How can I get a clean start again on Mail?

    Nick,
    Exit Mail and remove/or Move the folder ~/Library/Mail and Mails plist's to your desktop or trash. The plist's are located in ~/Library/Preferences I believe there is a com.apple.mail.plist and possibly if you have downloads associated with your mail, I don't so I don't know the exact name but my guess is com.apple.mail.download.plist. Please note the ~ = Your Home directory.
    Then open Mail it will be like you never ran it before. Oh and You can go ahead and delete the plist's the Files in the Mail folder are your old emails if you have any that have been downloaded.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Songs in "MUSIC" on my iPhone 4s won't start after tapping the PLAY icon.

    Songs in MUSIC on my iPhone 4S won't start after tapping the START icon.

    Make sure that is completely dried out. You can put it in a bowl of dry rice to ensure this. Otherwise its likely that the water damage ruiend a comonent. Try letting it dry, and if not take the product into apple. Unless you know how to take phone apart safely and look at the internal components.

  • IPod on iPhone won't start up

    The iPod on my 3g iPhone won't start up. I touch the button and the iPod begins to "start up". The screen goes white like it's loading and then nothing happens, until finally it returns me to the home screen. I've tried accessing the iPod from the bottom row button, from iTunes on the phone, and by double-pressing the Home button. I have turned the phone off and then back on. I've held the Home button for 6 seconds, and I've also done a reset with the Home and Sleep buttons.
    Any ideas?
    The other night it worked fine. I accessed the iPod and found a song I was discussing with a friend. I went to bed, woke up, and the iPod wouldn't load/open. It hadn't been charged or synched. No app or song downloads in between uses. No drops, no damage, nothing. I have an 8 gig and I have less than 1 gig of space left free. Could this be hampering the iPod launch?
    Thank you.

    You'll have to reinstall the iPhone's firmware. Open iTunes up, right click on the iPhone on the left hand side and select backup. The backup has been adjusted in iTunes so that it will also backup your camera roll, but if I were you I would make a copy of all your pictures just in case. After the backup finishes, click on the Restore button on the iPhone home page in iTunes. After the reinstall, it will prompt you to restore your backup to your iPhone. After the backup is restored, sync your iPhone with iTunes and all your data will be back on the iPhone.
    Let me know how it works for you.

  • My Ipod Touch won't restore after full reset!!! please help fast!!!

    My Ipod touch 3g 8gb on 3.1.3 got some major problems recently. When I wanted to take a snapshot it just doesn't appear in photos. When I wanted to save an image from Safari it doesn't appear in photos. Then I got fed up and pressed Reset Settings. That finished and the photos problem wasn't solved. Still. I chose Reset all settings and content. I confirmed it and Ipod Touch was doing it for like 20-25min. After that it just won't start up. I am trying to restore it right now with iTunes and again to 3.1.3 (3.1.2 or other doesn't work). I clicked restore, everything went fine but now, it is stuck at like 95% and won't move. I really don't know what I did wrong and what I have to do to fix it. Any suggestions?
