The touch on my iphone 3gs does not work. the only time it works is when i slide it to turn it off. I've tried resetting it multiple times and it will still not work. I need help!

Hello, I've got a question about my Iphone 3gs. Well one day i woke up and i tried to slide to unlock my phone but the touch was unresponsive. So, i turned off my phone and back on, the unlock screen came back one and same problem happened. The only time the touch works is when I slide to turn off my phone. When people call me, i can't answer. When people text me, I can't answer. I do have the latest update for the phone. I've looked everywhere on the internet and have got no answers. I have dropped my phone a couple of times and it does have some cracks on the screen. Please help!

Your only chance besides getting it serviced would be setting it up as new device:

    What do you mean by "restoring definitions"?
    What EXACTLY is your problem?
    "does not works" is just a bit vague.

    my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update it?

    It isn't in the device pane. If you have selected your iPhone, then on the right side you should see information on what is contained on your iPhone. There should be a number of tabs towards the top, Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Not necessarily in that order. On the Info tab is where you should find the tab. It should look like this.

  • Iphone 3gs does not turn on after ios 6 update

    After the ios6 update, my iphone 3gs does not turn on. I see the apple logo, after a minute, it boots again and i see the logo again. This process seems to continue like a circle. After a search the net, i see that i am not the only one. A quick fix and suggestions please, as i need my phone of course.
    Btw, Apple, i know that this is an old hardware and i will buy the new iphone 5 when it is available here in my country in December. But of course, you claşmed this update supports my 3gs, you should immediately find a fix
    Regards..

    Well, i don't see an another solution possible; you should try again and again to restore. Btw, my phone seemed to operate strange (even the stock mail app began to crash) so i tried hard reset (home button + sleep/wake button until seeing the apple logo). After that i found my phone again in dfu mode this night so began restoring again now.
    It seems that apple didn't tested ios6 enough with the 3GS. I have a 32 GB phone so this will be near 60 gb download from the icloud over my broadband connection.

  • Touch ID on iPhone 5s does not work

    What can I do to get this feature to work again ?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Camera on new iPhone 3GS does not work

    My husband got a brand new iPhone 3GS yesterday from the iShop here in Gateway Durban, and the camera does not work at all. You can see through the lense, but non of the touchscreen controls work (ie access to camera roll, take picture, swap to video.) Am I missing something obvious? This is perculiar, in that it is his second iPhone and I have the iPhone 4 so you would think between us we would be able to figure it out, but it does seen truly STUCK. Any ideas?

    Have you tried to restore the phone?

    I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. it says 'not enough storage'. I click on settings and close but still there. How can i remove this message? Thnx

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Iphone 3gs does not sync calendars to outlook. No option in settings

    I cannot sync the calendar items I enter from my iphone to my pc outlook 2007.
    Works fine the opposite way (outlook to iphone). Someone answered that the problem is in settings but my iphone does not have the outlook sync option in settings.

    I'll assume you have calendar sync set correctly when you connect the phone to iTunes and click on the Info tab, but please check that.
    Next go to Options in Outlook, the Other tab then click *Advanced Options*. Click *Com Addins* and make sure the iTunes addin is checked.
    Now in Outlook go to Help/About and click *disabled items*, and make sure the iTunes addin is not listed.
    If all of this is OK, or it still doesn't work after setting these correctly, go to iTunes Edit/Preferences Devices tab and click *Reset Sync History*.

  • IPhone 3GS does not activate after upgrade to iOS 5.1

    I never had any issues upgrading the iphone 3GS in the past. Last January I got my iphone upgrade to iPhone 4S, which made my 3GS redundant, so I had asked Vodafone uk to get it unlocked for me so that I can use it with other networks. Vodafone sent the information to apple and got the iphone unlocked for me. The OS was 4.1 then. A few days ago I came to India on my business trip for 4 weeks and inserted an indian SIM and it worked fine. but just yesterday I tried to upgrade it to iOS 5.1 through itunes and it got stuck in recovery mode then I tried to restore it and found that it has indeed loaded the iOS 5.1 as it asked me questions relating to language and country and tried to access wifi for iCloud. But it has got stuck just there and says no SIM inserted.
    Please help .....

    This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
    If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.

  • [SOLVED] My iPhone 3GS does not appear in PCManFM file manager

    Hi
    My new desktop is under arch and uses PCManFM as filemanager, but when I plug my iPhone 3GS, it does not appear in the right panel
    I've experimented the same issue with the last version of pcmanfm (before 0.9.7) my usb sticks, and mp3 player are however well detected, and mounted :S
    It's just for the DCIM folder (container of the pictures)
    Thank you
