My iphone4 will not switch on when not connected to the computer
My iphone4 will not switch on when not connected to the computer. If i connect it to the computer it switches on to recovery mode and itunes recognises it and tells me to restore it. When i then try to restore it it keeps giving me error 1611. When i connect it to the wall charger it switches on but gives the itunes sign. This really ***** now i dont know what to do. Is there still hope for my phone? Please help
Will not turn on or will not activate? The two are not the same, the specific issue affects how the issue is troubleshot.

My iphone 4s will not connect to the computer or charge when on
Ok, so this one is kind of strange. I've had this problem for about a 10 days, and it's driving me nuts. The gist of it is that when I connect the USB cable to the phone and to either the computer or the electricity plug, nothing will happen. The phone will not charge in either, and when connected to the computer, neither iphoto nor itunes will connect to the phone (so no syncing podcasts or photos, grrr).
For a while I thought that it was a hardware problem- it started first by not recognizing the electricity plug, and i could only charge it with the computer (i think since i upgraded it to iOS6 first, about a month and a half ago). At that time, itunes and iphoto were working, so i didn't mind. Then, it started to get picky and i had to plug it a dozen times before it would work. I was very afraid that I wouldn't be able to charge my phone at all- but I discovered that if the phone was turned off while plugged, then it would charge perfectly. If I plugged it in while it was turned off, it would start up and not charge nor connect to itunes / iphoto- so the phone is getting the charge and it knows when it's being connected, but only as long as it's in a coma .
Here are the specs of what I'm using:
iphone 4s
iOS 6, latest version as of today
Macbook 4.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz
running OSX 10.6.8
and iTunes 10.7 (21)
And here's a bunch of things I've tried:
- different cables
- different computers (macbook pro running 10.8.1)
- push start + off buttons simultaneoulsy for 30 seconds
- connect via wifi (since I need to start with the cable, it doesn't work)
Obviously nothing worked, and I would hate losing the pictures and videos in my phone that haven't been synced. Any ideas?You must use Apples iTunes in order to place ringtones or music of your own on the phone. You don't have an android phone which uses a sd card and can load via the usb cable.

IPhone 4s will not connect to the computer.
I have a multitude of problems with my 4s and I'm sure that I will never buy another Apple product again.
Within the first week, I was having problems with the microphone. No one can hear me unless it's on speaker phone, and I know it is not a software issue. The people at my phone company sprayed canned air into the phone and claimed it was fixed. It was, for a few months. Now it's back to doing it again. It works about 20% of the time off of speaker.
Then, it got stuck in "dock mode," which I tried EVERYTHING to fix it, and nothing worked. My phone had to be taken apart by a cell phone repairman, and you know what he found? A pin was shoved through the ribbon that connects the dock to the rest of the phone, and after so many months it started putting enough pressure on it to make it think it was cnstantly on a dock.
Now, it will not be recognized by my computer. I have tried EVERYTHING. Everything from this, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. I have even cleaned out the registry of everything apple, itunes, and bonjour before reinstalling itunes, and I have even manually deleted and manually redownloaded, unzipped, and reinstalled the apple mobile driver device. At first, it said USB not recognized. Now, it won't even recognize anything is plugged in. And, it WILL NOT connect to it even in recovery or DFU mode. I have tried three cords and three computers. So, is this software or hardware related? Because honestly, this company isn't worth my time to try to send the phone to because they will do another half assed job like they did when building it. I'd rather just take care of it myself.
This phone is clearly defective, and I would just like a new one that at least WORKS, but Ntelos says that they can't even fix my phone. All they can do is charge me $120 a year for insurance, and then make me pay $200 for a REFURBISHED one, when I paid $250 for a NEW one and have done nothing, not even so much as dropped the phone, in the 5 months I've owned it.You must use Apples iTunes in order to place ringtones or music of your own on the phone.

Since 29/10/2012 my iphone 4s and more recently my ipad 3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. All I get is an error message saying that 'cannot get mail, connection to the server failed' I hadnt changed any settings it just happened. I have since done a complete re-boot on the ipad but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?
No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -
my ipod touch has a usb cable picture with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. the ipod will not connect to a computer and is unable to be turned off as there is no red power slider when the power button is pressed. what can i do to fix this?
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.
- 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.

My macbook air will not connect to the internet. There is an exclamation point in the wifi icon and when i go into preferences i see that it is setting its own IP address. I have a macbookpro that is able to connect with no issue. HELP
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install. -
As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data -
I opened i Tunes on my mac and while i see the songs in some of my playlists they will not play. The computer says the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? When i do it won't play.
You will need to locate where you itunes library is and then relink one of the songs, itunes will do the rest. So if your itunes library is on an external hard drive or something like that. When you get the error message click yes you would like to locate it. then navigate to the external hard drive where the itunes libray is and locate that particular song. Once you have linked one, itunes will ask if you would like it to locate the rest, click yes and it will find the rest of the files if they are in the same location.

When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.
If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server. In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air. Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

My iphone4 will not connect to my network. My iPad and my wife's iPad and iphone4 all connect to my network. I have tried the solutions in Apple trouble shooting site. I even tried the freezer option. Still no connection.The "wheel" turns for 2 secOne then stops without connecting. Anyine have a solution to this issue?
I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5). Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

When my iphone connects to wifi, everything else in my house will not connect to the internet. They all show 3 to 4 bars on connection strength, but unable to access the internet. The second I turn off the wifi on my iphone, everything in my house runs fine. What is going on?
Had a similar problem a number of years ago with a laptop my daughter had. The probelm turned out to be the router. What kind of router do you have? Have you checked for firmware updates, or at least tried re-booting it?
