3Gs 24 hours old. Dead as a door nail.

Anyone else?
24 hour old iphone 3GS. Recording video in florida. Iphone all of a sudden got very hot. Now it's dead as a door nail.
GREAT... can you believe this?

Thanks. That means a lot coming from you. Admittedly I didn't know it was so hot in Florida but from what the OP describes the heat sensor is the first thing that came to mind. It would make sense. I really hope it's ok for him . > Tamara wrote:
That's a good point about the heat sensor. It's quite hot in FL today and it would be possible that the phone got too hot.

I have just updated my Ipad 1 with the latest apple software IOS 6. i did not realise the ipad 1 was not supported by this software upgrade! anyhow the problem i know have is. after the software had downloaded and the installation had been completed, i was entering my icloud details in the inital set up that comes up on screen upon rebooting.

I have plugged it into itunes and a pop up tells me its in recovery mode and it needs to be restored however i dont get any response at all from the ipad itself, its just completey black screen and no sounds when on charge or anything. i have pressed restore and it fails and shows a "1600" error. i found an apple support site which offered the explanation for this error and i followed the instructions on how to reslove this and nothing has worked! *** can i do, this is bullukka!!

Are there any tricks to powering up an iPhone 4s that seems dead as a door nail but is fully powered and had worked well all day?

My 32g iPhone 4s iOS7 has been working well since the day I got it. Even today until about 3pm. It's fully charged. I checked something on it and returned it to my pocket. Next time I looked at it, it would not power up. Even tho Apple Support is off today for the 4th, they won't speak to me until I get my serial number, which I can't retrieve from a dead phone. I've gone thru all the power up procedures I know and I have attached it to a power cable to see if that would help. Nada. TIA for any tips or tricks. I'm at a complete loss. My wife is laughing at my desperation.

Creative M dead as a door nail

My M will not charge at all. Hooked up right but no action, no blue light up top and no charge. So I sent Creative a e-mail stating I would like to have it fixed. The reply was that it was out of the warranty window and gave me website to buy a new one. I specifically asked to have it fixed as one: I bought it specifically because the battery could be replaced on it and Two: I can't afford to buy a new one. How do I get it fixed then? Its three years old and moderately used, not like I abused the thing 24/7, which I?m sort of annoyed about.... I don't care if I have to pay a fee for repair... I just want it fixed. Any thoughts? Thank You. I have looked around and have seen places that sell the battery but I?m not at all bright with fixing stuff like this on my own. My computer yes, my MP3 player, have no clue.

It really is very easy to replace the battery yourself. You can purchase a battery http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...em=90297554047? here &? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Drkr...eature=channel ? instructions to open it here

I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

Hello,
I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
Thanks.

"In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

My 3gs (11 months old) has been losing all signal

my 3gs (11 months old) has been losing all signal for calls and both 3g/wifi, goes to "searching" then "no signal", and back to some signal but not for long at all. i upgraded to ios5 couple of wks ago but this was all happening before that, was hoping the upgrade would help, but noooooooooo! battery power has gone so bad in last few days too, charging up to 3 times a day!! cant afford a new phone so any help would be really appreciated.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

HT4623 iPhone 3GS, 3 years old. Unlock?

Hello. I have an iPhone 3GS, 3 years old. I have purchased it in USA, but have used it in Europe, and with a Danish carrier. Is it locked to any carrier after 3 years or can I update it to IOS 6. Or can you provide an official EMEI unlock?
Regards from Denmark.
Peter Willkan

In order to use it outside the US without having it legitimately unlocked by AT&T, it had to be hacked.
Hacked/jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the terms of use.
ONLY AT&T can legally authorize unlocking it. Contact them. Be warned that the 'hack' used to unlock it for use outside the US originally may render it unable to process a legitimate unlock even if AT&T agrees to unlock it for you. You may be left with a brick.

i am trying to download cs6 with web prem from my old dead computer to my new one but a down load promt isnt appearing. the info is still in the my products tab. how do i get a human to help me

If you mean you are trying to transfer the programs from one machine to another that will not work. You need to install the application using installations files. You can find the installation files thru the page linked below.

HT4865 How come "find a friend" tell my followers I am at places that are 12 hours old?

How come "find a friend" tell my followers I am at places that are 12 hours old? This morning it notified my followers I was at a location but it was 12 hours old. This app has done this before sending out old information.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are in a location where that location can't be determined (as a result of poor signal or whatever), the app will report your last confirmed location.

8G nano (only hours old) is freezing on the main menu

Only a few hours old, my new 8G black nano is freezing on the main menu. Nothing will respond, except a reset and then it brings me back to the same thing -- a frozen main menu. It was working. I did synch -- a few times. All I did was turn off, and then turn back on, the cover art option and now this.
I have reset a half dozen times already. Connected, unconnected, connected. Nothing.

My Nano 3rd Gen is doing the same thing, and it's totally because of the album art and the cover flow. Whenever it tries to do cover flow, it freezes and the click wheel won't do anything. I have restored a half dozen times, and when I put a track on the Nano that I know says "No Artwork Available" the Nano works just fine, but if I accidentally put one track on that doesn't, the Nano tries to put up the cover flow, and it freezes. The thing is 3 days old.

HELP! Dead iPhone 3GS 7 days old

I have a 7 day old 3GS, been working brilliantly. Without warning, it has died. No response to any reset, charging or synching, just dead. HELP!!

Take it to an Apple store and the Genius bar will replace it. Make an appointment online first to avoid waiting.
Just curious. IF I bought my IP through ATT and I had a major problem that required replacement, could I go to either an ATT store or an Apple store? Or would I be restricted?
I did order mine directly from att.com.

Can anyone help me determine if I just need to give up on my iPhone 3Gs, is it truly DEAD????

I'm REALLY hoping I get a response and some ideas or suggestions. Here's what happened and how my iPhone has been behaving. I need to know if I can salvage it and getting it working good enough for now, or if I need to just give up because its dead. My iPhone is a 3Gs that is roughly about 2 years old, and I have a Windows PC w/Windows 7 (if any of that makes a difference).
Situation: was at the beach, walking in the surf, iPhone in my hand. Wave surprised me from behind getting my iPhone wet. It was NOT completely submerged at any time, but it did get water on it.
Attempts to salvage: I vigorously shook it and tapped it upside down and right side up with a towel to get out as much moisture/water as I could and completely dried the outside of it.
iPhone behavior afterwards- screen went VERY dark, could not be brightened. Kept giving a message of "this device cannot be charged, charging accessorie not supported," or something similar. I tried to turn it off and restart, but was still the same. I tried pressing both buttons for a hard-reset, still the same.
Attempts to salvage: upon returning to camp, I placed the iPhone in a bowl of rice (made sure rice completely surrounded it) and left it there for 24 hours.
iPhone behavior afterwards- when I was able to power up the iPhone again, all I get is a BRIGHT white blank screen. However, I WAS able to salvage all the photos from our trip that I took- those transferred fine to my Window's PC.
Attempts to salvage: I charged the iPhone, I tried to hard-reset it again. I was able to back up everything that was on it, those transferred fine to my PC, and the iPhone connected and synced fine with iTunes. However, when I tried to restore it back to factory settings, in hopes that might make a difference, this is the error I got: "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (0XE800004)."
My next plan is to take the cover off to see if I can find anything there that "sticks out" so to speak, but I'm not exactly electronically savvy. If ANYONE can help me find a way to get this to work again, warranty has expired, I'm not currently with a cell phone carrier, and I can't afford any repair costs right now, much less be able to afford a replacement which is why its so important for me to get this working again. Thank you in advance for your help and/or suggestions.

You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside? I'd recommend against it. Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money. You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider? Did I understand that correctly?
