IPhone 3G in a coma state though I was using iOS4 for a while.

iPhone 3G in a coma state though I was using iOS4 for a while (until today that is). Now "restored" to iOS4.2.
The problem still persists. When it's plugged into PC and charging, pressing Power / Home button always wakes iPhone from lock / sleep.
When taken off power, it still allows me to wake the phone from lock / sleep, but only if I do it every 5 seconds. After around 5 seconds, pressing the Power / Home button doesn't wake the phone from sleep, therefore necessitating a Hard Reboot (Power + Home held for 10 seconds).
There's also a very visible lag when using anything, even though my phone has no songs / apps / videos in it anymore.
When calling to the iPhone or sending SMS', the sender finds as though the iPhone is working, but the iPhone itself makes no response to show that a message has been received or that it is being called.
This is just infuriating, because if it can't do any of the other functions, it could at least be usable as a phone
This is an emergency, I don't know how to get ahold of another phone, and I have exams for which I need my phone to coordinate things like transport, or calls /messages from the exam centre.

No help, anyone ?
It feels such a waste to have a perfectly usable and amazing (though apparently obsolete) phone which can't be used for a tiny little bug when it's not connected to the charging station :C

    some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

    You need to use the credentials for the iCloud account that was used to turn on the Find my iPhone service.
    If you can't remember yours, you can recover it here: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    If you've been walking around for 2 years with someone else's account set up for Find my iphone, then you'll have to get hold of that individual. If you can't, there is no way to bypass activation lock.

  • Release notes for 2.16 states that there was a fix for alerts not being modal. We are using 3.0.6 and are experiencing the same issue; was there a regression to the modal fix. What version needs to be used to make sure that alert messages are modal?

    We are trying to determine why alert boxes are not modal

    First we need to check , whether the LAN settings is set to detect settings Automatically or not.
    Follow below steps .
    1)Open Control Panel and then click on the option "Network and Internet" .
    2)Click on Internet options, click on 'Connections' tab.
    3)In the 'Connections' tab, select 'LAN' settings, you will be able to view the Local area network settings box.
    4)Check the box-"Automatically Detect Settings" and then "uncheck" all the other check boxes like 'Use automatic configuration script', 'Use a proxy server' , Bypass proxy server' ,then click on ok button .
    5)Click on "LAN settings" button again , make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is the only option selected, keep the LAN properties window open.
    Then launch Premiere Elements 12 and try to sign in.
    If the settings were already set like that or you face same issue after signing in , let me know

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • Can I sync on old 3G iPhone to my new iMac even though it was originally set up on an HP computer that has since died.  I want to retrieve the photos only.

    Will I be able to retrieve photos on my old 3G iPhone that was originally synced to an old HP computer that has since died if I try to sync it to my new iMac?  All I want to do is save the photos on the 3G iPhone.

    Are these photos in your camera roll or were they synced to your 3G? Makes a big difference. If in your camera roll, you can use either iPhoto or Image capture to import them to your Mac. If they were synced to your 3G, you'll have to use third-party software to extract them:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    Apple makes no provision to extract synced photos from an iOS device. Bear in mind, they were reduced in resolution when synced to your phone, & there's no way to recover their full resolution.

  • Hii how can i chenge my iphone 4 from the current state in a compeny use to become sim free???thenks

    Hello,
    further to my email below, I am writing you again since I did not recieve any response.
    please advise if you can assist in opening the device I bought in your store to become SIM FREE. 
    In order to do that, as I was told by my wireless providor, the store where the device was purchased needs to contact Appple and provide them wth the SIM FREE code, so they can update it in Itunes for my device.
    Serial Number: QR*******4S
    ICCID Number: 89****************34
    IMEI Number: 01***********97
    <Serial Edited by Host>

    We are users just like you here, Apple can not be addressed by posting in these forums.
    If your phone can be unlocked by the provider, your company or the owner of the phone has to contact the provider and give them all the details about your contract, serial, etc.
    If unlocking is supported by the provider, to which the phone is locked to, the provider will pass on the info to Apple. This info will be sent to the iTunes database, and after a certain time, iTunes will inform you, that your phone has been unlocked.
    Check here if your phone can be unlocked by the provider:

  • TS1398 my iphone will not connect to my network...even though it was automatically connected for a long time.  now nothing.  I've tried everything...please help.

    I am having trouble getting my iphone hooked onto my wifi.  It has always been hooked up to my wifi, but since yesterday it has been doing this. Yesterday i turned my phone off and on and that seems to work...but today, nothing works.  I've reset my network and everything...Please help me.

    Tozo, it sounds like your setup may be missing DNS server numbers. Try the following:
    *Reset/Change DNS Settings*
    Launch Airport Utility.
    Select Airport device on left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click "Update".
    Next, on all Macs affected, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
    Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
    Then click, "Advanced...".
    Click the "DNS" tab.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
    Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
    Click "OK" then click "Apply".
    Finally, reboot your Mac.
    Now see if you have internet access all around.
    Let us know if this was helpful. Cheers!

  • 98-99% charge even though it was plugged in for 24 hours

    Any idea why I sometimes don't get to 100%. Sometimes yes and sometimes no....It's not time since I left it plugged in for 24 hours.

    Pretty normal with Apple products. My MacBook now reads 95% even though it's been plugged in for the last 24 hrs (most always is). If you really care about this I believe there is a battery meter calibration process you can apply.
    Good idea to read these tips: http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=899
