Why is my iphone 3gs frozen on the load screen when i restart my phone

it is stuck with the apple sign on the screen right after my phone restarted.

Hi there,
For how long does the logo remain static..? If it's for up to 3-4 minutes then I'd say it's okay (albeit it is a long time) but if it's 5-10 minutes or more then okay there's a fault of some kind I guess.
I went through a phase where my 3GS would restart and seemingly get stuck at the Apple logo, for what seemed forever. Killing the phone and forcing it to restart would see it restart a lot quicker. Odd though that if I'd left it alone then after 3-4 mins it would start on its own.

Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead. Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

HT204370 I just bought a HD movie and cant put it on my iphone 3gs. Will the non HD movie work on my phone? If so can I exchange them?

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

My iPhone was downloading iOS8 and it has been frozen on the loading screen for 5 hours

My iPhone was downloading iOS8 and it has been frozen on the loading screen for 5 hours, I have plugged it into my iMac but the iMac can't cancel the download without me typing in my password on my phone, which conveniently isn't working
It won't power off or on or anything, it is just stuck on the white background with black apple sign!!

Hi esmelicious,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when you run into issues updating to the new iOS. In your specific situation, I would recommend placing your iPhone in what is called recovery rode and restore it from there. Please use the steps and information located in the attached link to restore using recovery mode.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Try a reset. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Try resetting by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until it turns off ignoring the slide to power down. You probably won't see that if yours is stuck.

My iphone is frozen on the lock screen

My Iphone wont turn off and is frozen on the lock screen. id do a hard reset but my home button is broken. what do i do?

Connect it to iTunes and see if you can restore it.

Iphone is frozen on the apple screen. Was freezing and so turned it off and now it will not reboot?

My iphone started acting slow and would become frozen as I tried to re-download facebook. I turned the phone off and now it will not turn back on and stays frozen on the apple screen. Is it possible that viruses can be downloaded on the iphone?

Try a force restart by holding the power and home button down at the same time. One of two things will PROBABLY happen; 1) It will boot into iOS as normal. 2) You will get an iTunes logo with a USB cable at the bottom. If the second happens you will need to plug it into iTunes to do a restore. If neither of these happen, force restart again. Once the phone powers off, let go of both buttons and push and hold the home button and plug the phone into iTunes. This will force the phone into recovery mode. Proceed with a restore at that point.

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

My Iphone has frozen on the startup screen! What to do!

Hi,
After battling with the upgrade all night, at 4 AM this morning, I finally had it all installed, so I attempted to sync it and put all my songs back on, this is where the BIG problems started! It was half way through syncing, when it ejected itself, SOMEHOW! This cause the phone to freeze, I reset it and it is now frozen on the startup screen with the apple logo, a constant reminder of how they've let me down! And now, when I plug it into to my PC it comes up with an error warning with the number 0xE8000035 and windows says there is a Hard Drive malfunction!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will happen again. I had the **** phone lockup on the startup screen twice in one day (lucky I had my macbook to restore) and I paid a visit to the genius bar.
Guy restored my phone and said that was it. I asked him how so, that is not a normal issue. He told me that my copy of the phone's firmware I downloaded from the server must be corrupt. I begrudgingly took the phone home.
After having it lockup three times in the week since I got it back, I'm going back to the store tommorow to have it switched out. I'll be that ****** off, rude customer who will give them sh** until they swap my phone out. I'm very unhappy with apple as a company right now, all they do is stall fixing the problem by doing an instore restore and sending you home, hoping you won't come back. I don't care if I have to cancel my contract, I'm not dealing with this problem anymore with this phone. I can't be going entire days without any contact as a manager in a retail store.
My question to the experts is:
COULD this be hardware related? Somehow the phone is not reading the firmware correctly and causing this problem. That's how I'm seeing the problem...

My IPhone is frozen on the lock screen, and will not restart or respond to ITunes. What do I do?

I really need help. It's not functioning at all. It's frozen on the home screen, will not respond to Itunes, or its charger, it wont turn off, no matter how many times you hold down the Lock button. What do I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

My iphone 4s will not switch to the wide screen when I turn my phone sideways from an upright position, does anyone have any suggestions to get this feature working again? Thanks.

Is there an on or off button for this feature, as the screen on my phone will not switch from upright to the lengthened screen when I turn the phone sideways. My phone is very new, just got it beginning of July of this year (2012). Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks

Why does my iphone 3gs take forever to load withgame center

So i recently started to use my iPhone 3GS and when I played a game, it asked me to sign in, so i did and it kept loading and loading and i left it on for 20 minutes and it still didn't login. Is there any way to fix this? By the way, i'm using iOS 6.1.3

Hey there KyleVH,
It sounds like you are having issues signing into Game Center on your phone. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help get that working correctly again:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
If you can't create or sign in to Game Center from within a game, create or sign in to your account using the Game Center app.
Sign out of Game Center, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to Game Center with an Apple ID, reset your password or use another email address. To manage your Apple ID, go to My Apple ID.
When using a Wi-Fi connection, make sure that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.
If you're on a Mac and still can't sign in, continue with the steps to resolve sign in issues.
If you have an issue with a Game Center game:
Make sure that you have the latest version of the game. To check for updates, open App Store and choose Updates.
Test your connection using a different game. If you can't connect with a specific friend or player in multiple games, they may need to check their Wi-Fi connection and router settings.
On iOS, try opening the game from the Home screen, rather than from within Game Center.
If you can't create or sign in to Game Center from within a game, create or sign in to your account using the Game Center app.
If the issue persists, or certain features of a game aren't working as expected (leaderboards, achievements, and so on), use the App Store to report the problem to the developer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My iPhone is frozen at the lock screen and will not unlock

For the past few months my iPhone 4S has been not acting good since I updated it to iOS 7. At random times it will go to a black screen and not respond for certain amount for time. Well today my iPhone went to that black screen and would not respond. Once I had someone call my phone the black screen went away and started acting normal as usual. Then once I tried to slide and unlock my phone it would not respond, When I tried to connect it to iTunes it connects and backs up but it will not restore. It had be stuck on the lock screen for almost 3 hours. battery life shows 100%. It shows the time as 8:38 because that is the time it stopped responding. The slide to unlock is still glowing but I can not slide to unlock my phone.
I have no clue on what is going or how to fix the problem. Could someone please help.

Why does my iPhone say "Damaged" on the home screen where the date should be?

I have never dropped my phone and it doesn't have water damage, not even exposure to high humidity. I always have it in a case and it still have the original screen protectors on it! There is not a scratch on this phone and it's only 6 months old! I didn't buy the extended warranty but I should still have the regular 1 yr warranty though right? How can I use this with out being charged for the darn phone call to apple?
