Since installing the ios5 my iphone3gs keeps restarting every 3 minutes. can anyone help please

since turning my phone on this morning its restarted itself every 3 minutes. ive tried holding the power and home button together to restore it but nothing happened and ive also tried 2 restore factory setting via itunes but the phone just restarts as its attempting 2 restore. its an absolute joke with how much the phones cost and yet it f##ks up all the time

Okay, I've now done yet another software restore but this time I also deleted a bunch of apps and only kept the essential stuff. I'm hoping that has fixed it because, not only do I currently have my phone back (the phone has stopped rebooting itself every few minutes) but the battery is now lasting more than 3 days between recharges. This suggests to me that one of the apps was to blame.
I will point out that my phone is 100% run the 'Apple' way. It is not jailbroken and so all apps came from the iTunes store.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I installed the update and now my itunes won't open - can anyone help?

    I had to update as it wouldn't recognise my iphone anymore, although it opened fine prior to the upgrade.

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

  • HT4946 I have just (successfully) updated my iphone 4 with the i0s but cannot get my apps back. They are on my itunes on the computer but cannot transfer back onto my phone, can anyone help please?

    I have just successfully updated my iphone 4 with the latest ios update but lost all my apps. I can find them on my itunes a/c but cannot get them to transfer back onto phone without downloading all again, what I am I missing?

    Is "Sync Apps" in the apps tab checked? If it is and they still won't sync, uncheck it then run a sync, then recheck it and run the sync again. If that doesn't help, on the phone itself, go to your app store, tap on updates, then go to purchased, and tap the cloud button next to them to redownload.

  • I can't upload photos from iphoto (on my iMac) to facebook. Error message comes up saying 'error occurred with iphoto - try again later'. I've installed the latest software updates but still can't get the photos to upload. Can anyone help please.

    Hi, Hope this is in the right place.
    I'm trying to upload photos into facebook from my iMac. I've clicked on the upload to facebook icon in iphoto but just get an error message saying 'error occurred with iPhoto - try again later. I've also had problems lately when I click on a photo to open it I just get a grey screen with an exclamation mark. I've downloaded the latest software but nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks hopefully,
    Karen

    Karen,
    I'd recommend reposting in the iPhoto forum, you can find it at:

  • I cannot activate icloud foto. When I click on icloud the window comes up but in seconds the possibility to click to activate foto freezes. Can anyone help. I have spent so many hours trying to solve the problem.

    i am so tired. Have used many hours now to find a way to get my fotos from my Iphone to my PC'er (windows 7). I have downloaded Icloud, but I cannot aktivate "foto" When I click on icloud there comes a window, where it seems that I can click on foto. But within sekonds the 3. (foto) possibility freezes and the vindow sort of changes: You can still se the choice "Foto" but it cannot be activated. Can anyone help, please!

    Thanks for the link to your system. 
    You have a Combination BluRay and Surround System that includes WIRELESS Rear Speakers:
    Rear wireless ready: Yes, 5.1ch wireless system included, 7.1ch wireless option with purchase of SH-FX67 + SB-HS100A
    This could account for why the BluRay is generating interference with your wireless network signal.
    You can go thru the process of changing the wireless  channels and other changes to the Verizon Actiontec Router or hook up your old router which was working before you switched to FIOS.
    FIOS has a Superior Product over any cable system and I would hate to see you leave over something that was out of their control. 
    By the way, looking at the picture of the rear connections for your Panasonic you would want to have an Optical Toslink cable go from the back of the Verizon HD Set Top Box (Optical Out) to the Optical In jack on the back of the Panasonic.   This connection will provide you with Dolby Digital sound (If Broadcast by Channel) while you are watching TV.  You may need to switch inputs on the Panasonic Remote to get this to work.  You may also have an Optical Out jack on the TV that could be connect as well if you are using an HDMI Cable.
    Your Verizon STB  would be connected to the TV by either HDMI, Component, Composet, or Coax (Highest Quality to Lowest Quality).  The HDMI would also provide sound to your TV so that it's internal speakers would work if desired.
    If you are the original poster (OP) and your issue is solved, please remember to click the "Solution?" button so that others can more easily find it.
    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the "Kudos" button.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • IPHONE 5 keeps restarting every 5 minutes

    Iphone 5 keeps restarting every 5 minutes. the screen turns black and then the apple logo shows up. does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello jonah910,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're having with your iPhone, I definitely see how it is a frustrating experience!
    I'd like you to follow the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Specifically the section under power & battery:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    Hello Kitty Galore,
    It sounds like your your photos that you take on your phone are not showing in your iPad Photo Stream.
    I would check both devices to make sure that they both have Photo Stream turned on in the iCloud settings.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
    After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
    iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
    Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your my Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    If it is enabled, then I would check to make sure Automatic Upload is enabled with this article:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    I imported photos to iPhoto or Aperture from my camera, but I do not see them uploaded to the My Photo Stream album, though the service is enabled.
    In iPhoto or Aperture, navigate to Preferences > Photo Stream. Ensure that Automatic Upload is enabled under My Photo Stream and that you have an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
    If Automatic Upload is not enabled, you can either enable it and import again, or manually add the newly imported photos to My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture by dragging them into the My Photo Stream album in your Library.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Please let us know which approach works for you...
