New IPhone 4 less than 1 month old , wont start anymore

Hi everyone,
sounds like im just the 10+ person wondering what s going on,
but my phone last night, received a call,(my battery was low) it rang as usual, but i could not answer as the touch screen would work, then after the it was done ringing(i missed the call) shut down to a black screen, then started to show up the white apple logo for 20 sec, then return to black screen for 1 sec. i put it to charge, with my apple charger all night, this am, it is still doing the same thing, flashing from the apple logo 20sec then black screen 1 sec. i tried to reset it , then do the home and power button 10 sec, tried to connect it to Itunes, nothing works, my itune does not even recognize the phone being connected, i checked the LCD liquid indicator thing, and they are both fine (clear/sliver) i just got it, never dropped it, and wont start up passed that apple logo screen, i m not sure what happened, anyone know ?
It s still under 30 days from purchase.
thanks
maddie

Well, here is the outcome, with the help of Lawrence and Allan, i have manage to place my phone in recovery mode, but after many attemps to restore it with Itunes, i had no success, and keep having the message (9) comming up saying something cause the restore to fail, so i contacted Apple support, as you guys said, was still covered on warranty, they helped me re-attempt everything, which took probly another hour, including removing Itunes & Quicktime and re-installing, and still nothing worked, basically, my phone is "toast", but with apple protection care plan, they are shipping me a replacement phone overnight, and i am sending them my old phone in a box,free of charges.
The worst in all this, is not having a cell phone for 3 days and so much time spend trying to troubleshoot it, but the outcome is good, i am happy that they are replacing it, and this discussion forum is very helpful, if anyone else gets this issue, try all these options, then, worst case you know, the phone is done. wonder if it s a bug in those new phones maybe ?
but thanks for everything!!

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

    Replacement iphone(hardly one month old phone) is a new one or refurbished ?
    I am facing lot of issues with my iphone 3gs.Please i request you guys dont buy any apple products here.its waste.I bought my iphone one moth back when i use GPRS(internet ) on my phone .it will shut down and gets heated.Went to imagine(Authorised apple service center)they said will replace the phone when i went to collect the phone they said it a new one when i check the connector it was having all dust in it.WHEN I ASKED THEN AGAIN THEY SAY ITS  A NEW PRODUCT.HOW COME A NEW PRODUCT HAS DUST COLLECTED IN CONNECTOR DOCK.
    Replace the phone with a brand new phone.

    There should be no way to tell.  The dealer/store shouldn't know either.  It should be good as new.
    The warranty clearly states that it can be a refurb unit.  You have no say in the matter.

  • IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

    iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
    should I bring it to apple ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

    Try the remaining items of:
    - 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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone 4s, 2 months old hangs often. What should I do?

    My Iphone 4s,2 months old hangs often. I bought this in India. When compared with Iphones bought in the US/UK, I see lots of difference in the sharpness in display too. Though the clarity and quality of screen is secondary, the phone hanging often is my major problem I am facing. What should I do to avoid this?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • My new mac mini (3 month) didn't start up,all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.

    My new Mac mini (3 month) didn't start up, all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.
    I followed by recommendations from 'Everything Mac': "shut it down by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
    Then hold down the Option key and press the power button again to start up the Mac mini. Keep holding down the Option key until
    the Mac mini starts up."
    But I got a Wi-Fi button only to chose and connect the local network. I connected to my network and I can't use this connection
    becouse no icons.
    Could you please help me?

    Your Mini (running 10.6.4) should have come with grey-colored install disks. Now is the time to put them into service. Turn on your computer so that there is power to accept disk #1 into the optical drive. Once  the disk is in the drive, shut off the computer by holding the start button down until it powers off. Then turn it on this time holding down the "C" key to make the computer boot from the disk. The question mark that you saw indicates that the computer cannot find a bootable volume. This can happen due to corrupted system files or an improper shutdown etc. Once you are in the "Installer" you can choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu in the menu bar. Use it to repair the disk and to see if that can solve your trouble.

    My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up. And when plugg it into the charger it starts up for a minute and shut down. but whithout charger dosnt do anything. Cant restore and it is not a battery problem.

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite with my calendar? Please help!

    Hi All,
    I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite any contacts with my calendar?
    is there something I have not done properly to do this or do I need to update calendar software or is this an App thing?
    Please help!

    Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups.  If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it.  Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
    If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from.  When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:
