I was using my iPhone 4, took a picture, the phone froze. Some how got it to shut off, but now it wont turn back on. What should I do?

Hi duckygallery,
If your iPhone will not power on at all, the first thing I would suggest would be to make certain that battery has a sufficient charge. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes, then try turning it on.
See this article -
Charge your iPhone and iPod touch - Apple Support
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device.

I believe apple no longer accepts debit cards in some countries. Try a credit card instead. Go to settings/iTunes and App Store tap on the ID then then tap on view apple ID and log in then tap on account info and have a look at the billing options available to you

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

Have you tried plugging it in? If so, try holding down the home and power button for about 15 seconds... If that doesn't work, take it to the apple store

My iphone just shut off and now wont turn back on.. is stuck on the apple screen.

my iphone 3gs is locked up... just shut off in the middle of a text... tries to turn it back on and it wont go past the aple screen??

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If you can't do that, try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

You can try putting it in bag with rice for about 4 or 5 days and the try to turn it on. The rice will help the drying of the iPhone. Do not attempt to turn it until you take it out of the rice.
If it does not work after the rice, then you know you have to replace the iPhone. This is very likely so after 30 seconds in a hot tub, but do give the rice a try. If you can get a hold of some silica crystals, a better drying agent than rice, that would be good too.

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

IPhone 5 shut down and won't turn back on

My phones screen turned a blue/greenish color and shut down and will not turn back on :(

I'm having the same issue with my iPhone5. It just started yesterday afternoon. The "hard reset" as you suggested worked once. However, it shut down again only one hour later. It didn't turn on (even with the hard reset) for three hours when the hard reset worked again. I hooked it up to iTunes and restored my phone and thought that it would fix the issue. But after being on for about two hours, my screen got vertical lines then turned green and shut off again. I haven't been able to turn it back on no matter what I do all night and all day today.
It doesn't matter that the phone is plugged in or have 100% battery power. It just won't turn on again.
I have an appointment at my local Apple Genuis Bar, but I'm not sure what they can do as I'm not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

Was using my iphone 4 camera, phone froze, got it to shut down but now wont turn back on. What can I do?
