My lock button on my phone is broken and my iphone won't turn on, what should I do? I really need help because i don't know what to do.

My lock button on my iphone is broken and my iphone turned off somehow and won't turn on now. What do I do?

Without the sleep/wake button, the only chance to turn it on is to connect it to the charger. You may have to wait for the battery to go completely dead. The only other choice would be to take the device to the Genius Bar for replacement.

  • My Iphone 4 goes off after tried to instul ios 7.0. I 'm onlu seeing the sing of iTune and USB plug right on the phon's  screen. I really need help because I all i got

    My Iphone 4 shuted down after tried to instul ios 7.0. I 'm only seeing the sing of iTune and USB plug right on the phon's screen
    I really need help because that's only phone i got.

    Just back from Genius Bar and two other people at my table had the same problem. Their 4Ss aren't charging either. One of them had a fried board according to the tech. At least my HW checked out OK. It just won't charge.
    The tech tried to tell me that it was because my connector was corroded, which I told him was kind of a weak argument since evidence points to that the update has something to do with it.
    They're seeing a lot of these and it looks like they already have a script.
    Luckily I had enough juice left to recycle it for like $180, so I picked up a 5S with a new 2 year.
    It looked to me like this is going to blow up pretty big. Like class action lawsuit big.
    If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, and you haven't updated it to iOS 7, don't for now. See if a patch comes out that doesn't brick your phone. Or get an induction charger maybe? Don't just update and expect absolutely no problems because too many people are having problems right now.

  • Need help, because I did not know about the AT&T Lock...

    We, me and my wife, were on vacation in USA when decided to take the opportunity and buy two iPhones 4 and one iPad. We did it, and the iPad is working just fine, it's great and we are enjoying it, but the other two iPhones 4... We are not being able to make them work... When I was buying it at Orlando's Apple Store, I told the person who was assisting (salling) me (Orlando's Apple Store employee)about my intention to use it down here in Brazil, and we were oriented to buy it without the AT&T's contract (and because of that, we end up paying the FULL PRICE). I was not aware of this "AT&T lock"... So, what should I do now, in order to get these two iPhones 4 ready to work with a Brazilian carrier?
    Who should I contact? AT&T or Apple?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    "So, what should I do now, in order to get these two iPhones 4 ready to work with a Brazilian carrier?"
    You cannot.
    You can return them or sell them.
    ALL U.S. iphones are carrier locked and cannot be unlocked.

  • TS1368 I am curious what I can do to fix my itunes, if I try to click on music in itunes from my phone, it gives me a message, "too many HTTP redirects." Has anyone else had the same problem? I don't know what else to do to fix this...

    This is what I get when I go to iTunes and try to look up music. I've tried to clear my cookies in hopes that it would change this iTunes mishap. I'm out of ideas how to fix this issue, any information would help.

    try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

  • My iTunes won't let me add music from a file, button stays on open and not add! don't know what to do!

    I have been trying to add music files to my library however the button is alway OPEN, and not add.  I have tried updating my itunes, dragging and dropping, and again trying to open it in add file.  Please help! I don't know what else to do.

    It wants to erase your iPhone because you are not syncing it to the same library.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    iCloud only stores a copy of your non-iTunes purchases if you subscribe to Match. It still isn't the best way to get your music to a new computer.  That's
    (if you use iTunes' default preferences settings):  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
    If no joy...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • The lock button on my Phone 5 has stopped working completely. It just will not work anymore so I have to rely on the auto-lock . Will apple replace me phone?

    I have an Iphone 5 on contract with T-mobile/EE. The lock button on my Phone 5 has stopped working completely. It just will not work anymore so I have to rely on the auto-lock . Will apple replace my phone or do I ahve to take it back to T-mobile? It is just short of a year into a 24 month contract.

    Yes; If it's under the one year hard ware warrnety and it doesn't have any damage on the device you can get it replaced, contact Apple ASAP

  • HT4113 uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/

    uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/

    Nothing you can do, sorry to say.  If it will not turn on there is absolutely nothing you can do now to backup what is on it.  The whole point of a backup is to have made it before disaster strikes.  Now, with a dead iPhone, all you can do is accept the loss of your data.
    You will be able to re-download iTunes and App store purchases since they are tied to your AppleID, not your device.
    Have you been using iCloud for backup?  If you have, then you should have a backup in iCLoud you can use to restore your replacement phone with.  iCloud backups are automatic (once every 24hrs, whenever your device is on wifi, plugged in and asleep).

  • What do I do if my camera and the lock button on my phone doesn't work?

    I cracked my phone and my dad tried to fix it but instead he broke my camera and tried to fix it but instead he also borke my lock button.

    Viber bottom doesn't work and also volume bottoms + and - doesn't work.
    You have hardware issues (buttons don't work) that can't be solved on a forum.  If still under warranty, return to Apple.  If not, search for iPhone repair in your area.

  • The lock button on the phone does not work.  I have not dropped the phone, nor has it had any other damage.  Any suggestions on how to fix?

    The lock button on my phone has gone out.  No damage, no liquid.  Is this something I have to take to Apple or can Verizon help with this?

    Its covered. See above Apple Link.
    Good Luck

  • My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow and when ever I get on a app it will shut it down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do

    My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Next, reset the iPod
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
      Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Then you can try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
    If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
    If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
    AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
    Your hardware is your iPhone.
    Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
    Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
    So, what does all this mean?
    In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
    And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
    Policy is policy. Get over it.

    The phone was hacked to unlock it. It relocked when you updated. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. If you are not/never were an AT&T customer and you do not have an original store receipt from either an AT&T or Apple store in the U.S. for a no commitment AT&T iPhone, they will NOT unlock it.
    Buy a new phone.
