Post the model number. You probably have an iPhone 3G.

Last week I updated my iTunes, updated to iOS 5.0 and ever since I did this my phone has been going nuts. Any time I plug it into a charger I get a screen that tells me I need to connect to iTunes. I have had to restore it multiple times in order for it to work.
I've tried doing resets, restoring to factory-everything that I can find online to do. I've spoken with ATT tech support and done everything they've said to do regarding my greyed out wifi, my phone only working on 3G, and other issues.
The first iPhone 3GS I got had a defective camera, so ATT replaced it free of charge. I've had this one for a year, and quite frankly cannot afford a new one.
If anyone knows anything I can do to fix it, I would really appreciate it.11.1 is now the most recent iTunes. Downloading it may take a bit since everyone got hit today with the need to update their iTunes on the very same day the iOS update came out and you have to update iTunes to update the iOS.
YOu should still be able to charge it without updating iTunes. -

I have an iphone 3g and it will not update one of my e-mail accounts.
I have three e-mail accounts set up, two yahoo and a gmail. one of the yahoo accounts stopped downloading the mail for no reason. I deleted the account, shut off the phone, restarted it and added the trublesome account again without an improvement. I'm open to suggestions.
Have you contacted Yahoo customer or technical support?
If the problem were with your iPhone, none of the accounts would work. -
please help
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of this been tried?

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

Hi JACOBfromINSIDEaLION,
If you are unable to get your iPhone to restore, you will want to perform a restore from recovery mode, as explained in the following article:

I have an IPhone 3G and it will not restore...
I have an IPhone 3G and it will not restore. Unfortunatley, I have to make it restore because I cannot use it at all. I have tried to restore it a total of 4 times but each time a message comes up saying that an error has occured. I need to restore the IPhone in order to use it in my daily life. Can someone help me?
Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this does not work, try to delete the iphone software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

I have an iPhone 4 and it will not turn on. I plug in and says connect to iTunes. I connect it and it won't restore. What can I do? Please help

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart. -

I have an Iphone 5 and it will not connect to any WIFI networks - I have tried following the steps above (including reseting network settings) but it just says 'incorrect password' every time. How can I resolve this?
you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

I have an iPhone 3gs on Baseband 5.14.02, does the iOS 5 run on this?
I have an iPhone 3gs on Baseband 5.14.02, does the iOS 5 run on this?
Yep. Any 3GS can be upgraded to iOS 5. The baseband you have at the moment (5.14.02) is irrevelent; it will be upgraded when you go to iOS 5. Unless you're relying on a software unlock (which is prohibited by the Terms of Use and as such we can't help you here) you can update just fine, your baseband version will be updated as well but this will have no effect on the operation of the phone.

hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?
Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.
