Why can I not turn my phone on?

Why can I not get my phone to come on?

Without more info, here's a wild guess...
Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes.  Then, try a reset 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.

  • Why can I not turn the volume very loud when using headphones?

    When I play music back the volume is not very loud, I have put the volume to the high setting but not very loud. Can any one help?-

    Hi, I have some questions in tha case before we can decide whats wrong
    1) Is it happening with particular song? - if yes then its an issue with song
    2) is it with all songs( check head phones with other player or so it might be faulty)
    3) Is there any volume limit (lock) set on your ipod
    if head phones are fine and if it happens with all songs and if same songs play with good sound on computer you might need to restore your ipod and reupdate the songs may be an issue with ipod but if all songs play with similar kind of sound on computer your ipod should be ok as it might be the sound quality of those songs

  • HT4906 why can i not turn on photo stream on my mac which has OS X 10.7.4?

    Why does my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to check the photostream box in icloud, under the System Preferences tab? It just allows me to chose "learn more."

  • Why can't I turn my phone on while updating to IOS 8.1.0?

    I am trying to update my phone from IOS 8.0.2 to 8.1.0 but I'm not sure if it is updating. There is a red circle with a, eighth  note and under it, it says iTunes. (I'm guessing it's the old iTunes logo) then below that there is a small arrow pointing upwards and the lightning charger cable. Is that supposed to happen when updating to IOS 8.1.0?

    That screen is telling you the iPhone has entered the recovery mode...you must follow the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to attach to a computer running iTunes, in summary:

  • Why can i not restore my phone from icloud?

    I had my i phone 4s stole about a month ago and i got my replacement from my insurance this week.
    The problem is, when i'm trying to set up the phone and asked if i want to restore from icloud back up, it searches and says there is no back up available. But when i log in to icloud on the phone (i continued setting up as new phone) i can see my last back up as "30.10.12".
    How can i restore my phone??

    If the device you are trying to restore is running an older version of iOS than the one you backed up, you'll have to update it to the latest iOS before the backup will be available to restore from (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3682).  If that's the case, update your device, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and see if your backup is now visible.

  • Why can I not update my phone?

    I want to update my phone to the newest 6 iOS version but for some unknown reason, iTunes does not want to seem to work properly. Every time I try to update, it give me this message-
    "The iPhone cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable."
    My phone is a 4s, I run this iTunes on a Windows 7 Laptop, and iTunes was just updated yesterday.
    My phone is not jailbroken, so that should not be a problem.
    Any fixes? I have gone into the hosts file several times to see if that could fix it, but with no effect.

  • Why can I not connect my phone to my iTunes library on my PC anymore?

    For some reason I'm not able to connect my iPhone to my iTunes library on my PC anymore. I don't know if I have a certain setting on or something else. Could someone please help me out to find what the problem is? (By the way, I don't know wht iPhone I have but it's not the iPhone 5)

    What version of iOS are you running? There are known issues with the beta of iOS 7, where the companion app doesn't work, and we're working on a fix for this - in the meantime, you should continue with iOS 6 or earlier.
    Other than that, can you verify that Scout works locally (i.e. on content in the browser on the local machine), and also from another remote machine (see the instructions for remote profiling in the getting started guide here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/scout/articles/adobe-scout-getting-started.html). It would be especially useful if you could test with a remote machine over wifi (e.g. a laptop). This would rule out any issues with your network, such as a firewall that's blocking connections.
    When you connect using the companion apps, are you typing in the IP address directly, or relying on the app to discover the Scout machine? This discovery uses the Bonjour service, and it's possible this could be being blocked by your network - so I would try typing in the IP address directly, to see if that works.
    Let me know how you get on!

  • Why can I not turn my wifi on or off it's just gray

    Can you help

    Hi Flozzey,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s because it is grayed out. Please follow the steps in the following article to get this resolved.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
    If you go through all of the steps above it may be necessary for you to follow the link under number 4 and contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps,

  • HT5594 Why can I not turn location services on?

    I know where it is at in location services. I went there and the ability to flip the switch to an on position is blocked. How do I fix this?  I restored the phone already and now I need to know a next step?

    Hello there, Coratower1.
    Although the following Knowledge Base article is written for Wi-Fi, the troubleshooting steps would prove useful for your issue as well:

  • Why can I not sync my phone ? Keep getting message that computer is not authorised then I log in and it is. ios 8 problem?

    Keep trying to sync my iphone 4s with my computer and keep getting an error message that my computer is no longer authorised. I follow instructions store> authorise computer and I then am told that computer is already authorised. Only started after ios 8.1.1 'upgrade' What the heck do I do ?

    Hello telboy17,
    The article linked below details a number of steps that can help prevent iTunes from errantly requesting authorization.

  • HT5538 why can i not get my phone to send an imessage with my mobile number only?

    how do i send a imessage with just my number only?

    Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache.  If it continues to fail try using a different browser.
    Though the following might be something you have already seen, since I can't tell from your explanation I should offer it anyways...

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • HT1975 Why can't I turn off location services?  Restrictions are disabled.  The on off slidebar is grayed out.  I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

    Why can't I turn off location services?  Restrictions are disabled.  The on off slidebar is grayed out.  I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.
