New iphone 4 won't turn on after restoring back up

I cracked my phone screen and so I had to get a new phone just today. So, I was now restoring the back up I created last night on iTunes so I left it alone for a bit while I did some cooking. It sort of "switched off" but had my wallpaper blurred in the background with the message saying "restoring in progress". So I left it alone. Now it's completely off so I assumed the restoration is done. I've tried to turn it on, the Apple logo comes up and then disappears after about 3-5 seconds. Nothing happens afterwards and now I'm stumped. How do i turn it on? Please help asap thanks

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Iphone won't turn on after restoring due to ios7 upgrade ...

Hi, I want to download an app that requires ios7 so I initiated the download yesterday and since then all my phone shows is the picture of my usb plug and an arrow to the itunes logo, so I have plugged it into itunes and restored the phone which took 2 hours - twice I have done this now! And it is still showing the usb plug and itunes logo. Tried turning on and off and its just not working, what should I do? I need my phone for my business so this is really inconvenient. Thanks in advance.

IPhone won't turn on after attempting to restore!

My iPhone will not turn on after trying to restore it it starts to boot up fine then it goes back to the black screen and it keeps doing this please help!

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

IPhone won't turn on after trying to restore to beta version.

I was trying to restore my iPhone to the latest beta version and during the restore, an error occurred and my iPhone won't turn on, and iTunes does not recognize it anymore. Now, when i try to turn it on, the logo appears and then appears the "connect to iTunes" image and IMMEDIATELY the screen turns white and Apple's logo appears again and starts all over again.

If you're a registered developer, you have access to the developers forums. iOS 5 beta can NOT be discussed in the public forums. If you're not a developer, bummer... you shouldn't have installed a stolen beta on your phone, should ya?

IPhone won't turn on after brief blue screen.

My iPhone is currently broken, won't turn on after a blue screen appeared briefly. Won't even connect to my PC or iTunes. Won't even charge with my charger or using a new charger from a family member. Won't hard reboot by holding home top button. Anyone know what my situation is? Checked over the internet and couldn't find any similiar situations. Also this occured after i was browsing Reddit so nothing intense was occuring on my phone at the time.

I'm afraid you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple:

My 3GS won't turn on after Restoring it to my new 4S

I have just bought a brand new 4S 16Gb today & successfully Backed up my old 3GS to iTunes and then used this to 'Restore' my new 4S.
My problem is that my 3GS will not turn on now, all I get is the Apple logo on the screen as if I had done a cold boot (lock & home buttons) but it sticks on that screen. When I connect it to my Mac the same screen appears & iTunes doesn't pick up the device.
I was under the impression that I could continue to use my old 3GS as an 'iPod touch' as I want to keep my TomTom satnav app on the 3GS (due to the connection issues the 4S has with the TomTom iPhone car cradle) but now I'm stuck!
If it helps, right after I 'backed up' my 4S I was able to use the 3GS to delete all the apps (apart from TomTom) and also disable iMessages and remove my Mail & Twitter accounts from the phone. I have since turned it off & my issue has arisen.

There must be a SIM card in the iPhone, but I doubt that is the issue as it would atleast boot up but would give a SIM error.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and then restore it via iTunes.

IPhone 5 won't turn on after restore

I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5.
I backed up my iPhone 4, but when I try and restore the music/pictures/apps etc it doesn't work properly.
I plug in my new iPhone 5, and run through the 'Set Up Your iPhone' but restoring from my backup. It seems to complete the process within 4 minutes, and then says it will turn off and on again and will appear in iTunes. However it turns itself off, but then doesn't turn back on. I press the On/Off button on the top right of the phone and the Apple logo appears, and then goes to black again. The only way to turn my phone back on again is by doing a hard reboot (Home button + On/Off button at the same time). When it turns back it, it's as if its a new phone again - I need to select wifi, my iMessage details etc.
I then go back to iTunes and the restore doesn't seem to have worked, as the 'Set Up Your iPhone' page is back up again.
Weird thing is, I have all of my photos and have found a way to get my apps back - but I have no music, and iTunes still says my iPhone isn't set up.
I am really confused and not sure what to do.
Has anyone experienced something similar and been able to solve the issue?
Cheers

I had the same problem, tried several times, including new backups from my 4s. Ended up unplugging the usb cable and plugging it into another port and the phone came on and finished syncing and putting all my apps and info on my new iphone 5.
2.5 hours of trouble shooting later.
At least everything is in the right spot, all the data is populated and everything looks great.

Iphone won't turn on after a failed update

i have a brand new 5s its not even a year old, in a life proof case so its as good as new!
i had installed the iOS 8.01 and it was working fine, tonight i decided to install 8.02 and my phone is completely unresponsive
The upgrade failed to install and now my iPhone keeps turning off and back on..
but only to the APPLE screen and then it goes bright blue for a quick second and turns off completely.
and then starts doing that over and over again!
Naturally i thought id try hooking it up to my Mac but iTunes can't even detect my phone since its not completely ON...
PLEASE HELP

Hi val0891,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue I'd like you to please put your device into recovery mode, and restore it using iTunes. After restoring, you can then restore from your backup.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Take care,
Alex H.

IPod touch won't turn on after restoring it to factory settings!!

I restored my ipod touch 3g (32 gb) to factory settings last night because I'm supposed to be selling it to someone today, but now, more than 12 hours later, it won't turn on! I only get the start up screen with the apple logo and that little loading sign but nothing else! I tried pressing the home and top button all at once but nothing changes! Any sort of help would be much appreciated!!!

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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone won't turn on after a non-iTunes iOS6 update

Hi Fora! I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 yesterday via an update message I got on my iPhone. The update went overnight while I was sleeping, and when I woke up my iPhone was off. I tried to turn it on and just get the black screen with the apple logo on it, and it just stays there. Whatever I press next the iPhone restarts and I get no further. I tried to do a hard-reset on it via iTunes, however when it's about to finish I get the error message that the recovery prosses has failed.

Hey,
I've got the exact same issue with my new iPhone 4S. Updated using the on-screen prompt. I plugged in my 4S into the laptop to finish everything off and I get a message statng my phone needs to be restored to factory settings in order to update the OS. I do that, and now my mac is downloading iOS6 (strange when I thought my 4S had already done that), starts installing (or extracting) the update, and then I get the prompt that the update is not compatible with my current model. Now, if I try to turn on my 4S it simply stays on the Apple logo, first it's bright, then it dims down a bit and after a few minutes the phone switches off. Hard resets, trying to sync it with iTunes, nothing works, it just stays on the logo and nothing happens. Very frustrating and I've tried all the reset/restore tips provided and nothing works! Anyone know what is causing this or what can be done to fix it or do i just have to go in and get my handset replaced?
Thanks.

IPhone won't turn on after replacing LCD and Screen

My dad replaced the glass digitizer and LCD panel the screen won't turn on. what could go wrong that would cause this?
I plugged in into the wall charger and it made the charging sound but still the screen didn't turn on. The sound works and vibrator also. I held the home and power button and nothing happened. I took a snapshot and I heard the picture sound. I also hooked it up to my computer and iTunes synced it but still the screen did not turn on. What could I do to make my screen show and be able to use my phone again? Please Help!! Thanks in advance !

As deggie poined out, it could be any number of things. If your dad can't fix it, you may need to find a competent repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not service that one.

IPhone won't turn on after update

I tried to do an update on my iPhone4 and now the phone won't turn back on and iTunes isn't saying that it's in recovery mode.

I have already tried that, and it just comes back to the screeen that says I need to connect to iTunes, which I am.

Has anyone encountered their iphone won't turn on after installing the 8.1.3 update?

Has anyone else encountered this problem? The update took about 15 minutes. After the update the phone wouldn't turn back on. I hit the power button and a the iTunes logo appeared with a lightening cord, so i plugged into my pc to iTunes. iTunes had a pop up telling me that I needed to restore the phone back to factory settings and I would lose all my data that isn't on icloud. Before I hit restore, are there any other things that I should try? I already tried hitting update again and it won't complete the update.

The message is correct. Once you see the iTunes logo and the USB cord your iPhone must be restored. It has already lost all data stored on it. You can recover your data from a recent backup if you have one. You can recover all purchased music and apps without the backup. When I updated our 2 iPhones, I backed each of them up to iTunes before updating just in case. I recommend that you do this before you do any future updates.

IPhone will not turn on after restore:

Hi guys, I tried to update my iPhone and it wouldn't update, so I restored it then there was an error (1015) so I tried to turn on my iPhone but it kept displaying the screen it does as if it were connected to itunes (even though I disconnected it). So, I tried to restore it again, same thing happened! Now it won't even load up again - As soon as press the button for it to turn on, it gets past the Apple logo bit then goes straight to the screen as if it were connected to itunes again! Really frustrating as I just bought it on Wednesday. Any helpful information would be amazingly appreciated! Thanks.

It sounds a lot like the phone was 'hacked' to unlock it. This has been known to cause permanent damage that can not be reversed. You can try a hard reset. Hold power and home together for 20-30 seconds. It should display the Apple logo and boot.
If it does not, you may as well just buy a new, legitimately unlocked phone or one that works with your carrier.
Discussing hacked or jailbroken devices is a violation of the terms of service here. That's about all we can advise. There are no 'parts' you can change that will fix this.
