Why will my iPhone 4 not turn on, charge, or be recognized by my mac?

I went to check the time on my phone and click the home button to show the lock screen. When did this, my phone remained blank then I tried the lock button, and that didnt work either. I then tried to plug it in to charge and not even a red battery showed up like when it was dead. It wouldn't even be recognized by my computer. I have only had the phone since May and take very good care of it. I DID NOT DROP IT!
please help me!

If you can't charge your device, you'll have to get it serviced.

Did you try another USB cable and check the docking port for any kind of debris or lint?

    Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

    I may be experiencing a similar problem. My scenario is that the phone (4s) is 2 weeks old and won't power off. I hold down the button on the upper right for a few seconds, an option comes up to swipe to the right to "power off" the phone. I swipe this to the right and the phone powers off for only a few seconds and then automatically turns itself back on. This is a new problem for this phone. I was able to power it off previously, so I'm confident that it's not "pilot error". Here's something curious; if the phone is plugged into a wall charger it will power off and stay that way until disconnected from the outlet, even if the charger is still connected to the phone. I took this phone to an Apple store and the guy that helped me cleaned out the charging port claiming it was dirty and was successful at getting the phone to power off. However, by the next day the phone would not power off again. I found the dirty port thing a little curious while telling this story to a work mate and seeing his iPhones charging port clogged with plenty of visible dirt, lint and who knows what else, yet his phone works flawlessly. My charging port looks perfectly clean.

  • Why will my iPhone 4 not turn on? It turned off randomly today while it was fully charged and I don't know why...

    I dont really know how to work this conversation thing but I need an answer to the question above!

    If the lock button is broken you are out of luck. Your phone is doomed. You can try connecting it to iTunes on your computer. If it is recognized by iTunes you can restore it. If not you need a new phone.

    Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Sorry, my previous post was meant for another thread.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    Why is my iphone 4 not turning on even after hours of charge?

    Try holding both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. If it doesn't appear after 15 seconds, this probably won't work.

  • Why will my iphone 4s not accept my credit card

    Why is my iphone 4s not accepting my credit card always comes back with declined no matter how much money i have in my account

    Is the card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (we are fellow users on here, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why will my iphone 5c not ring in the sleep mode?

    Why wiil my iphone 5c not ring in the sleep mode?

    I have an intermittent issue with my phone not ringing in sleep mode. The Apple store replaced my original 5c yesterday, and now my new phone has the same issue. DND is off, nor is the silent toggle switch set to silent. It is maddening as I have to keep waking my phone only to see calls and texts that I've missed. Anyone have a fix?  I'm powering down and on but not fully resolving.
