My iphones touchscreen will completely stop working

My Iphone has been doing this a lot lately. The touchscreem will just completely quit working, the buttons work but not the screen. Its very frusterating because I cant even use it. I also have hard restarted it many times but it does no good. Apple support needs the ime code or whatever but I cant even access that.

Hi Brian71997!
I have an article for you that addresses this issue, just in case you haven’t seen this article or tried all of the troubleshooting steps just yet:

I also have an article that outlines how to find your IMEI number that is needed by Apple Support:

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • The sound on my Iphone 4 has completely stopped working.

    I can't hear any sound at all, except when my headphones are plugged in. If I do get the sound to work, as soon as I use the volume button it quits again. I have tried rebooting my phone, but I don't want to do any more than that because I am not the one who does the hardware work on my phone. My boyfriend does the work but he is about 20 hours away. The lock sounds will work for a little bit but when I try and listen to any of my ringtones it quits working again. I have uninstalled the app that I use for my ringtones but it did not wipe the ringtones out of my phone. I am at a loss of why my phone has sound one minute then quits then next.

    Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.

    In iTunes, select iTunes Store under STORE, scroll to the bottom and change the flag (bottom right) to the country where you are.

    Upon opening itunes it will process the artwork, then proceed to determine gapless playback information. It will analyze a few songs the completely stop working. Any Ideas?

    Repeated execution of the "determining gapless playback information" process may also be a symptom of corruption in your iTunes Library.itl file (the main iTunes database).  If you have a recent backup it may be worth restoring that (especially if it immediately precedes addition of the skipping files).  However, the two symptoms you are seeing may be interrelated, i.e., the "determining gapless playback information" repetition and the skipping music may both be caused by incomplete or corrupt media files.  If possible, find and (re)move all the media files - you should be able to do a date-based search in Windows Explorer - and try restarting iTunes.  Of course, you should backup your library first so that it can be restored if the media files are OK.

  • My iphone home button has stopped working

    My iphone's home button has been acting up and sometimes it didnt work but now my home button just doesnt work at all. Also last night I used the Keep it clean wipes to clean out the home button and now it just wont work but when I try to re calibrate the home button like when I go to photos or stocks and I hold down the power button until it say '' slide to power off '' then I press and hold the home button and it still force quits back to the home screen when I do that but when I press the home button to go back to the home screen or to use the multitasking or when the voice control it doesnt work anymore I dont know what to do. Ive got an appointment tomorrow at the genius bar and my 1 year warranty just expired a few weeks ago (25 june)
    Also I dont want to get the phone replaced as everything on the phone works except for the home button now
    Also If I take in the phone will they just fix the home button or replace the extire home button ? and if so how much will it cost ?
    Also  and after  I used the wipes the home button did still work  but it just stopped working today when I was in the car and I wiped the phone with my shirt to clean the dust and it just completely stopped working
    Any help appreciated  as Im feeling extremely sad now because I love this phone and its useless now without the home button
    Thanks

  • My Iphone 5 will no longer work with my two year old Bose dock?  I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter

    My Iphone 5 will no longer work wiht my Bose Dock?  The dock is two years old and I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter?  It stopped after software upgrades?

    I Have the exact same issue. Bose sound dock 3 and it does not work for me with my iPad air 2 and iPhone 5 anymore.
    Used to to work fine 2 weeks ago.
    Is it to do with updating to iOS 8.1.3?

  • My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today while on the phone?  whats going on?, My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today while on the phone?  whats going on?

    My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today as i was on the phone.  i have tried to use it, and it doesnt work.  THis really stinks because now im completly unable to video chat and do other things.. please help!!!

    Booked into the Genius Bar at the Apple store in the Manchester Arnedale shopping centre and arrived on time today.
    The staff asked if I had backed it up, which I responded that I had. I also explained that I had been on the forums and followed some of the advice.
    My iphone 5 was only 7 months old and still under warranty, so I should have expected excellent service, and I got it. The phone was repaired by the store and returned to me approximately 30 minutes earlier.
    Happy days.

    I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working.  I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it.  When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan.  However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan.  I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone.  Same thing happened.  Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

    Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

    Hi
    I think its really not easy to say what the problem could be
    I can only suggest
    According to your message nothing appears on the screen not even if you would try to boot from the recovery disk or other bootable disks. Is it right?
    You could try one procedure;
    - Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor from the notebook
    - Wait several minutes (~30min)
    - try to boot up the machine
    Check it out but if you will be not successful then an hardware malfunction might be the reason for your issue and you should ask the local ASP for the help!
    Bye

    My iphone 5 is suddenly stopped working.I tried all the steps in on the website.

    Have you created a backup recently?  If its not powering on at all then we might need to try and get it into recovery mode and restore the phone.  However if you don't have a back up you will lose all your data.  But this might be our only option since it wont power up..
    1. Connect one end of your use charger to the computer, but do not plug the phone in yet
    2. Press and hold the Home Button and plug the phone into the computer.  Keep holding the Home Button till you see "Connect to iTunes"

  • When i use my infocus portable projector, the trackpad on my mid 2013 macbook air completely stops working.

    i have the new 2013 macbook air and like i stated above, the trackpad on the macbook completely stops working. i cant use it to navigate which forces me to use a wireless mouse to be able to navigate at all. i was wondering why this happens and if there any soulution. the projector is plugged in through usb and im not sure if that might be the problem ?

    I wouldn't expect a projector to affect the trackpad like that. Possibly if you go into System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad and uncheck Ignore trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present.

  • IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

        I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.
