I have an iphone 3gs and after trying to update to ios 5 my phone needed to be restored and is now stuck in "restoring iphone firmware" I have tried powering on and off, reinstalling itunes, my phone is useless. Is this temporary or is it dead?

Ali i had this problem today and it took me 7 hours to get it back on . i ended up downloading firmware from a third party site , it was a nightmare . i would recommend just taking ur fone into apple

That's usully symptomatic of a phone that was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

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.

You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html and can serialize it with the serial number you have.
NOTE:- READ THE INSTRUCTION PROPERLY TO AVOID ANY ERROR.

How can I restore my iPhone 3Gs after I tried to update to the new operating system.

I tried to upgrade my 3Gs to the new operating system(IOS5) and I got some kind of unknown error. I told iTunes to do the back up before doing the upgrade. The phone is stuck in restore mode with the "connect to iTunes" logo displayed.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer. I've restarted my computer. The iTunes doesnt seem to see the iPhone, but when I connect the phone to the computer I hear the recognition jingle by the comoputer, the one you hear when when a piece of equipment is connected to the computer. In addition, when i look at "my computer" I dont see the iPhone in the selections of items connected to the computer.
I have tried all the reset proceducures with turning the phone off and using the home key.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of this been tried?

after downloading the new iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad I can't sign into my itunes account or iCloud
struggles to open pages I also have problems with my iPhone 5S since downloading the software
can an some help please

Nellymay,
I would recommend reviewing this article. You may want to consider beginning at step five:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
A restore of the device, and setting it up as new will help with the software issues you've described.
Thanks,

Hi,
please see the html help file (graph90.html) that comes with the Graph bean sample. The debug option is enabled with a call to set_custom_poperty('blockname.beanarea',1,'DEBUG', true)
The messages are written to teh JInitiator console (see right bottom corner of windows to open)

An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.
