Please please help:my iPhone 3GS 32gb on iOS 6.0.1keeps turning off unexpectedly even when charge is 100% and cannot power on unless connected to power...please help here
Please help here...the iPhone doesn't turn on unless connected to power
Take it in to an Apple Store if you can. The genius bar can very quickly test if it is just the battery showing its age or not. If it is the battery, you can get it replaced through Apple
http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
Depending on how it has been used though, it may not be the battery. My old iPhone 32GB 3Gs is still good for about 6-7 hours of continuous use (as an iPod touch these days) and it was bought new in 2009 shortly after the 3Gs became available at AT&T stores. So yours might be experiencing some hardware failure not the actual battery itself.

Hi everyone,
I was playing games on my 3gs the other day and then it shut off randomly and the screen slowly faded away the battery was at about 70%
now it will just turn off randomly without warning unless plug into a power source and wont turn on after shutting off unless plugged in
I have tried restoring it, putting it in a dehumidifier and also charging overnight
I have tried to drain the battery but it wont work because it will shut down whilst i am draining the battery
One time today i turned it off and left it for a few hours, the battery was 89% but when i turned it back on a few hours late it showed the plug into power sign
It charged to about 33% and then a few mins later it went up to 100%
Could this be a battey percentage sensor problem?
It anyone has an idea of what might be going on please tell me, it would be greatly apreciated
Also: i am on ios 5.1.1 and NOT jailbroken
Thanks
KelbyI had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -

IPhone 3GS 32GB.... Please assist
Just purchased the new iphone 3GS 32GB from the Sydney apple store [AU $1040] ... the phone had 3.01 software and I would like to upgrade to 3.1... Is it safe to do so through the itunes coz I'm not sure whether its factory unlocked or locked ?.... Is there anyway to check whether its unlocked or locked?.... I also was able to get cydia installed in it by a technician and was also wondering whether that affect if it will be fine to upgrade through itunes....
I could tell you to upgrade to 3.1 with no fear. I did and it works fine. I predict that you will also get several posts here telling you to NOT upgrade for various reasons. The only thing I can add is that most people who upgraded have no problems.
And yes, if you don't upgrade, your phone will probably work as well as it would have with with 3.1. -

Open Macafee then: select;

Firewall > Advanced
Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
Highlight (click on)
Then Grant full access to Itunes.
APPLY then OK
When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes.
Try that or:
Disable your firewall.

Hi i recieved an ipod touch gen 5 for christmas and it worked perfectly on the 30th it decided to instantly shut down on me and over heat iv tried all of apples recommeded techniques but it wont work at all even when charging someone please help me!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 3GS 32GB, no service/searching
I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB, i recently updated to iOS 6.1, and since then my phone is always searching or i have no service, i will get a message saying i need to restore my phone with itunes. I am on GiffGaff network and the carrier setting are all input correctly.
I will restart my phone and then i'll have the iOS lock screen where i can only make emergency calls from, I cant unlock my phone to access anything, no music etc. Sometimes i will turn my phone on and off and the problem will be rectified, but then it will just lose signal again and i will be forced to restart over and over again until i can acces everything.
Its very unreliable as a phone now, any help and suggestion would be greatly appriciated.These are the screen shots i've managed transfer to myself while i was able to to get wifi.

ITunes 10.4 Crashes Upon App Sync With iPhone 3GS 32GB & iPad 2 64GB
I'm using the most recent iTunes software update (10.4.0.80) in conjunction wth IOS 4.3.5 on both my iPhone 3GS 32GB and iPad 2 64GB.
Both my iPhone and iPad have become unusable.Well, yesterday I fixed this. I don't know very well what of all the things I did was the one that fixed my problem:
When I tried to reindtall Lion it told me that my disk was not able to be used for the instalation so, investigating a lot pf posts, I did all this in order to reinstall Lion and see if iTunes worked properly after this:
-I removed my Bootcamp partition (used to use Windows XP).
-I made an empty small partition.
-Then I was able to reinstall Lion into my main partition.
-Installed Lion. iTunes started to work again.
-I removed the small partition.
I hope this helps someone.
Peace! -
