My iphone 3gs is frozen and reset does not work.  What can I do?

Apple logo won't go away.  I have tried a reset (holding both buttons and restarting the phone) several times.  I don't get the screen to connect to itunes.  Just keeps going to the apple logo and won't go past that. 

Steve, have you tried just going through the unlock form here?

That's what the moderator in several older threads in Vodaphone's forum said was all that is necessary. Carriers often won't unlock for anyone but the original account holder, so if you don't have the details of the company's account, that might be the barrier in which case there will not be any way to get the iPad officially unlocked.
Good luck.

  • I worked for a company that closed down and inherited an ipad 2 linked to Vodafone uk as the carrier but no account details. So I factory reset, downloaded the ios7and added EE sim and Ipad does not work. what can I do? Voda/EE/Apple say NO SOLUTION?

    I inherited an Ipad 2 from a company that I had worked for in the UK but had closed down.
    It was an IPAD2 locked to the Vodafone UK network by a Vodafone SIM Card.
    No account details were or are available for the original account.
    So I removed the Vodafone SIM Card and then factory reset wirelessly using my wireless at home.
    I updated the system to IOS 7.0.2.
    I was then sold under a contract from EE another UK carrier a SIM card for the Ipad and when inserted the Ipad says Sim not applicable.
    I checked with Vodafone and EE shop and they said they cant unlock it, I checked with Apple who said the same!
    So I have an IPad I can use wirelessly at home, a sim card from EE which is an u
    locked Vodafone carrier mode and all 3 multinational companies say they cannot unlock it from Vodafone to enable me to use the EE sim.
    What can I do to sort this mess out? Please help!
    Thank You

  • With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. iPad Synchronization is fine. Any ideas to solve it?

    With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
    iPad2 sync is fine.
    Any ideas to solve it?

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

  • HT4061 iphone 3GS screen locked, slide bar does not work

    Iphone 3GS. The slide bar does not work, ie the screen lock does not unlock. I have tried to reset (power and home buttons) and also to restore my iphone several times using iTunes without any success. Any suggestions? My son uses the phone now for games, so it has no carrier.

    A reset can be done by tapping and holding the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears.

    It appears that this is due to firmware corruption and you can fix it by using the micro USB cable and hooking it to iTunes.  I have not tried it yet but supposedly several people were able to resolve their problem this way.  If you do try it, let me know.  I don't have the cable at this time.

  • My homebutton does not work  what can i do?

    my homebutton does not work  what can i do?

    Try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If the reset doesn't work, you probably have a hardware issue. If you have warranty on the iPod, the replacement will be free. If no warranty, you'll have to pay.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Your other option is to use the iPod without the home button. See here:

  • IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

    Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
    Thanks,
    Klaus

    I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
    On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
    Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
    Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
    As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
    I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
    This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.

  • My iphone screen wont work, and my off lock screen button does not work, what can i do?

    Hey guys,
    can you please help! I have never been in this situation and i need help desperately

    Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
    Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.

  • IPod is stuck in recovery mode and retoring does not fix - What can?

    I've installed a new computer and transfered itunes just fine but when I connected my sons iPod it stated "itunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I've now restored it more times than I care to remember (it appears restored back to factory settings) but the same message ".... detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore..." persists and thus will not download music library. What else can be done?
    Dell precision 390   Windows XP  

    This repetitive "ipod found in recovery mode" message is most likely caused by drive letter confusion on your computer.
    In that case, you'll need to try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
    Log off of any other users on your computer.
    Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode and see these steps:
    1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
    For more details, see this Support article:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting
    I hope that helps you.

  • The power cord to my hp photosmart plus printer b209a does not work. what can i do?

    The warranty for my computer's printer is up, but the printer has not turned on for quite a while. After going through the HP troubleshooting - nothing seems to work. When the power cord is plugged in, the green indicator light does not light up and the printer will not turn on at all.

    Here's the steps to follow if your printer isn't turning on.   
    If you've gone through all those steps and you still don't have power, there are a lot of places that sell a replacement cord and supply for that printer.

  • Rso2 replication does not work, what can one check

    Hi there,
    created a data source in rso2. tried to replicate it to the bi system - but - when going to the bi system and looking under "datasources", there is nothing there. the datasource does not replicate.
    any ideas/old threads to test what is wrong with the system?
    TIA for any help ...

    Hi,
    First activate the datasource through RSA5 in R/3 system.Then check in RSA6 it should present there then run RSA3 weather its extracting any data or not.These steps you have to follow in ECC side.
    Now go to BI system side:
    Go to source system ,right click and press replicate the datasources...sometimes you have to replicate the whole datasources then try and check your datasource weather it comes or not.
    Try to do these steps and let me know if it solves your problem or not.
    Regards,
