My phone will not turn on. Why is it doing this?

Why isn't my phone working?

I understand your concern and want to help get your phone up and running again. Which phone do you have? Does it have and physical or liquid damage? Do you remember when it started? Were any new apps dowloaded prior to the phone not turning on?

  • TS4585 My phone will not turn on and when it does, it only stays on for a few minutes.  The last time it said it was necessary to do a restore in itunes, but shut off again before i could read rest of warning

    My phone was working fine last night.  Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Woke up this am to it off.  It would not turn on.  I tried a different charger and a different outlet.  Tried several times to hold down power and volume and or the menu button.  Finally, several hours later, holding the power and volume buttoon turned on the phone.  Said had 1%battery, so i kept it plugged in for about 5 min.  It went up to 2%.  I started to look at recieved text, then it went dead again.  Repeated the same steps and left it plugged in.  It kept turning off.  till finally, it went dim and a warning message came on to restore phone from itunes but idid not see the end of warning bc it shut off again.  Now it will not turn on, but has the white apple symbol turning off and on over and over.  I can not find the option to restore the phone, plus the phone is not on so the computer is not registering that its plugged in.  I can not call out bc no landline and can not call tech support.  Does anyone know why this is, or what to do?????????????

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

  • HT4061 My phone will not turn on. I did a hard reset but all that my screen will show is a picture indicating I should connect the power cord to iTunes (iTunes icon).I don't know my serial # and I do not have acces to my laptop

    My phone will not turn on. I did a hard reset but all that my screen will show is a picture indicating I should connect the power cord to iTunes (power cord symbol with an arrow iTunes icon).I don't know my serial # and I do not have acces to my laptop.

    The serial number has nothing to do with this.
    YOur phone is in recovery mode.
    You will need access to a computer with itunes on it to restore your phone.

  • HT201210 Tried updating to ios6, "couldnt be updated, unkown error (6)... now phone must be restored in order to connect to iTunes... now Phone will NOT turn on. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting?

    Phone will NOT turn on after synching & updating (or trying) to ios 6. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting? When researching, I read that you will get an option to restore from back up.  I am not receiving any options on iTunes.... restore only & basically it is telling me I will lose everything.

    I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

    My phone will not turn off, has not done so for ages, Today I tried to upgrade which failed . Now my screen shows only the itunes symbol and a usb lead. When I connect to itunes it informs me the sim card is not supported though it works on other phones. HELP

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • My phone will not turn on after downloading ios 8

    I updated to the IOS 8 this morning and now my phone will not turn on, it just keeps directing me to itunes and every time I try there is some kind of error, what do I need to do?

    If the screen is showing you the USB wire pointing to iTunes it is telling you it has entered the recovery mode, and you have to use the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to connect to iTunes.  In summary:

  • HT4972 I have a n IPhone 4S.  I upgraded to IOS7 and then tried tp go back to my prevous IOS and now my phone will not turn on at all.

    I have a n IPhone 4S.  I upgraded to IOS7 and then tried tp go back to my prevous IOS and now my phone will not turn on at all.

    I tried to do the same, but couldn't find ios 6. I even tried  the APPstore, to download the last IOS6 version.
    The most problem is the running out of the battery.
    I've checked each app who is "eating" the most power.
    The battery stoped runaway, when I closed the weather service....
    So for now, I will use regular internet service, and probbaly will do to more app.
    Until, finaly, I will find my self with all the applications closed....:-)
    That will be the sign, to replace my phone to anderoid....:-)
    Till now, there is no any sign from Apple to have a glance to our complanes.

  • HT201412 my phone will not turn on at all even though i tried charging it and turning it on

    my phone will not turn on even though i tried turning it on and charging it and it still doesnt turn on

    Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

  • I dropped my iphone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge...

    I dropped my iPhone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge... I know its probably fried and I need it repaired but is there any possible way I would be able to save the information that was on it. Pictures or videos? Most of my pictures were saved on my i Cloud, but some information had not been uploaded like my videos.
    Does apple provide any sort of recovery services?
    Thanks
