Activate a new iPhone 5. What can you do if your iPhone won’t turn on? Optimizing battery life
However, first we have to figure out why exactly it refuses to turn on. Basically, there are only a few reasons why an iPhone might not work. The first lies in a completely discharged battery, and the second lies in a software failure. Let's look at each of them.
Dead battery on your iPhone? No problem!
If your favorite device has a low battery, you need to:
- connect it to the adapter and charge for about 15 minutes (some devices require charging for half an hour);
- then you should try to turn on the gadget without removing it from the socket;
- if everything is in order, an empty battery icon with a lightning bolt inside will appear on the display (this is a signal that charging is in progress and the device will soon turn on).
Sometimes, if the iPhone does not turn on even after charging, you can see on the display an icon of a low battery, a socket, and also an arrow pointing to a lightning bolt. This means that the battery is completely discharged, so it requires additional time to recharge (approximately several hours).
If the reason is a software failure: what to do?
In case of a problem with the software, the gadget needs a hard reboot. To do this, you will need to hold down several buttons on your iPhone at the same time: Power and Home. They must be held in a clamped state until the Apple brand icon appears on the device screen. It will signal the start of the reboot. Then the gadget will begin to function as usual.
It should be noted that such a reboot can be carried out if a particular program has frozen and the smart device has stopped responding to button presses.
The above troubles and their solutions are standard, but if suddenly none of the instructions brought results, most likely the smartphone was susceptible to one of the following problems:
- the battery has become unusable;
- The connector to which it connects is damaged Charger;
- There was an error related to the firmware.
For all of the above problems, it is better to contact a specialist. service center, since it will be quite difficult to solve them yourself. Although, as you know, the impossible simply takes more time.
Initial setup is a mandatory procedure after purchasing a new iPhone or iPad. Selecting a language, setting up security, connecting to branded services such as iCloud and iMessage, as well as activating a new device - all this can be configured immediately after turning on your iPhone or iPad for the first time.
1.Turn on iPhone
The power (lock) button is located on the right edge of iPhone 6 and newer or on the top edge of earlier models. Press and hold it until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
After a few seconds, you will see a greeting in several languages. Swipe anywhere on the screen from left to right.

This choice determines what language information will be displayed on your iPhone. If you purchased it in Russia, the default country will be Russia and the language will be Russian.

A list of wireless networks available for connection will appear on the screen. From this list you should select the one you know Wi-Fi network and log in using your password.

The next step is setting a password. The system will prompt you to set a 4 or 6-digit password as an alternative to Touch ID. Please remember that a 6-digit password is more secure. Necessarily remember or write down create a password in a safe place.
6.Data recovery

To the factory ones, and now I want to show in detail what activating an iPhone is and what the pitfalls may be.
What is iPhone activation
Activate iPhone = turn on for the first time, if we consider new phone out of the box, or simply turning it on if you have previously reset or flashed it. Activation is the initial setup of the phone: language, region, restoration from a backup and setting up some services. If you have already produced the first turning on iPhone, then you should know some of these points, otherwise, look below - I will describe step by step what to do and where the pitfalls may lie...
Before activating your iPhone or iPad (there is almost no difference in activation), make sure that you have a SIM card or WiFi network (for an iPad without a SIM card) - you cannot activate without them! You may also need a computer or fast internet, if you need to restore data from a backup copy. After all the preparations, you can safely press the Power button at the top of the device, and as soon as the iPhone turns on, you will see a welcome screen on the screen in various languages and an invitation to swipe your finger across the screen.
The next step will ask you to connect to any WiFi networks, or will offer to use the SIM card for iPhone activation. If you don’t have a SIM card at hand, then even the presence wireless internet and computers will not help you... Let me explain - you need a SIM card, just like the Internet, it’s just that not all SIM cards come with the Internet, and in this case you will need WiFi or a computer with the Internet connected and iTunes installed!
If you have successfully completed the previous steps, then welcome to your “almost” activated iPhone. Why “almost”, you ask? Yes, because if you purchased the gadget secondhand, you may need to enter the iCloud account and password of the previous owner! If the old owner is not available and you don’t know the treasured login-password, then, alas, you have a “brick” on your hands :) In this case, you need to find the old owner, and in the right scenario, the reset before purchasing should be done with the seller, so as not to there was mutual misunderstanding!
If this is a new phone, then you will not have any obstacles. In the next step you will be offered a choice of 3 options: Set up like a new iPhone, Restore from iCloud copies or Recover from iTunes copy... What are the differences between these 3 points?
- set up like a new iPhone - you just set up the phone as you wish and there will be no data on it, except for what will be downloaded later from iCloud, if you have used iCloud before, of course :)
— restore from an iCloud copy — this option is needed for those who already have a backup copy in iCloud, for example, from a previous iPhone.
- restore from a copy of iTunes - just connect your iPhone to a computer where iTunes is installed and there is a backup copy of the phone, and follow the instructions on the computer. During this time, your phone will display the iTunes and cable icon.
Set up like a new iPhone
If you chose the first option, then the next step you will have an input window account iCloud, or creating a new account if this is your first Apple device. If you don't have an account yet, it's better to skip this step and set up iCloud after activating your iPhone.
Well, how can we do without legal information and accepting its terms:
If you are in the habit of protecting your iPhone/iPad with a password or Touch ID, then you will be able to make these settings right away. And these are the ones that shouldn’t be put off until later!
If there is a request to enable geolocation, it is advisable to agree. Geolocation, why else? And so that your phone understands where you are and provides you with the most relevant and correct information. For example, your location is on Maps, Google or Yandex, or correctly displayed weather and time data. I think it's worth turning on geolocation!
Next, if you want, you can enable or disable the sending of diagnostic data or give access to developers. Personally, I included all this so that data about failures and problems would be sent to Apple and developers, and they, in turn, would improve the quality of programs and services!
Recover from iCloud copy
If you already had an iPhone and a backup was created from it to the Apple cloud, then feel free to select this option. You will need to enter your Apple ID and password linked to iCloud and click next. If everything is entered correctly and you have access to the Internet, the device will begin downloading the backup copy. 
After the restoration begins, you will be asked the same questions when setting up the device as if it were new, so I will not describe them again.
I’ll just focus on this: if you want the iPhone activation to go as smoothly as possible, make sure in advance that the Internet is fast, since restoration can take a long time due to the volume of the copy. The biggest things that can take the longest to transfer are photos and videos. So try to do this at home when you have a lot of free time. Of course, after the initial setup, you can interrupt the recovery and continue later, however, I do not recommend interrupting the activation process.
Recover from iTunes copy
This method is best suited for those who have a computer at hand, as well as a backup copy of the old device, or the device itself, or the backup copy itself takes up a very large volume! In my memory, I have seen an iPhone where about 40 GB were taken up by photos - via iCloud it’s too long and expensive, but via iTunes it only takes an hour!
So on iPhone screen you need to select the appropriate item, after which you will see the iTunes icon on the device screen. After this, you will need to connect your gadget to a computer with iTunes running, where there is an old backup copy...
On your computer, in iTunes, you will need to select a specific backup copy if you have a lot of them or they are from different devices, and click on Restore. Then, depending on the volume of the backup, you can go to the kitchen for coffee, or start cooking dinner :) After the restoration from iTunes is completed, you will also be asked to enable geolocation, protect the device with a password, and an offer to send diagnostics to Apple. Please note that after the activation of the iPhone is completed, you should carefully look at iTunes and the iPhone desktop - it may well be that programs are being installed on the device, or music is being recorded. Do not disconnect the gadget from the computer!
Now you have learned what iPhone activation is and how it can be done. We have seen several methods, among which you can find the one that suits you! I hope that after reading my instructions, you will see something like this on your iPhone!
