Why does my iphone 4 turn off when i remove from the charger?

I have no signal. The message pops up "restore needed" iphone cannot receive or make calls. It will not connect to my iTunes either! Any help on how to resolve this issue??? Thanks!!!

Because it detected an external power source. That's normal. It's been that way since the first iPhone.

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Incidentally, you are not running iOS 1.x

  • My iphone5 will die or just turn off, when I plug in the charger the screen just keeps turning

    My iphone5 will die or just turn off, when I plug in the charger the screen just keeps turning off and on. It will do this for hours until it finally stays on and charges. I've gotten a new charger, but it didn't work. Help

    Hi there katygracie88,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Why does my music turn off when I open Safari on my iPhone 5c?

    I noticed that my music turns off when I open safari on my iPhone 5c. What's the deal?

    I figured out this will happen if any of the pages that are open in safari on your phone are open to a page that contains media.  Note this means any page regardless of whether it's the one you are viewing.  So if you go to a site that has media, then open a new browser window and go to a page that doesn't have media and then open iTunes and play a song...when you switch back to safari, the music will stop.  If you close the first browser window and try it again...the music will continue to play.

  • Why does an ipad turn off when tilts?

    One of the iPads will turn off and ask for the passcode after tilting.  The ipad has been updated to IOS6.  Could this have caused the problem?

    Are these images huge (15+ Mpixels)? Does the same happen if you try to edit low(er)-res images? If the former is the case (crashes at huge images but no problems with lower-res ones), you could kill all previously-used apps (or just restart the device) before starting editing to free up memory - it's the memory that rusn out and results in a crash.

  • Why does iPad suddenly turn off at 40% power and the power bar is almost gone.  Then when I plug it in the power bar goes back up to 40%

    My iPad has suddenly started turning itself off at 40% power as indicated at the top right corner..  The power bar is almost down to nothing (like 1%) when it shows up as it is turning off.  When I plug it in, the power in the top right corner shows 40%. 

    That happened to my sister get a new battery then wait until its full 100% then you can use it again

  • Why does my iphone print ok when I am near the printer but will not print from other locations?

    Just got a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 and everything works except that I cannot print from my iphone when I am not at home.  It works fine when I am near the printer.  It doesn't even show my printer when I try to print from a location other than at home.
    ADPROP

    Hi ADPROP,
    The Airprint feature (direct printing from your iPhone) provide print functionality over the local network only.
    You may install the HP ePrint Home & Biz app.
    By enabling the ePrint feature for your printer, you may add the printer ePrint address within Settings > Manage ePrinters, then you will be able to print remotely through the app.
    You may find more information of the app features below:

  • Why does my Iphone turn off with 20% battery power left

    Hi
    I got my iphone as a gift and so i don't have receit.
    I'm wondering why my Iphone would turn power off with 20% power left.
    I have other apple products  (Ipod 3 and and Ipad 2 ) and i don't find the same issue with my other products.
    Just my Iphone is giving me tha trouble. sometimes i even see i have 40% battery life left and it shut off.
    so i don't know if the % display show up wrongly.
    what would you suggest.

    Charge it all the way up, then let it run all the way down until it shuts off. Repeat this cycle to recalibrate your battery meter.

  • Why does Internet Sharing Turn off when shut down/restart ?

    I've have had my Mac for a few months now and it has gone beyond my expentation it was defenatly a good buy . I was wondering if there is a way to keep Internet sharing on when I shutdown or restart my Macit would stop working. Ive went to bestbuy and tried this out in other macs and the same thing happened when I restart or shut it. Internet sharing would say it is enabled in preferences, but it no longer has the arrow point up. Apple could you please fix this on your next update I use this as a wireless router and it performes well except when I have to uncheck the box enable it again . Thank you

  • Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?

    Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on  iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
    It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
    Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

    That sounds like you have internal damage in the SIM card slot. Try taking the phone to an Apple store for evaluation. Make a genius bar appointment first at http://apple.com/retail.
