3GS iOS6 randomly played static and now no sound works at all

I have a 3GS with iOS6. After performing fine for a few weeks (got it used from my brother), it started randomly playing static out of the speaker. I'd have to turn the phone on and off for it to stop. Now, it all of a sudden stopped playing any sound - from the speaker, from the handset, and from headphones. I have tried resetting several times to no avail. Sometimes the sound will work for 2-3 seconds and then die again.
Thanks for the help!

so i guess we're just screwed?? i understand machines running out of gas sometimes, it does happen, and i thought it was just my particular device. then i noticed how many posts there are mentioning this problem, so i thought i'd bring it up.
i was just hoping that since this is such a widespread issue, apple might have some sort of solution for all of us with the same problem.

k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

Itunes asks to update my brand new ipod touch.. I do and now it wont work at all!!!

just got my brand new ipod touch ... working good then itunes wants to update so I do now my ipod doesnt work at all! all I get is the apple and a line on face and wont even turn off!

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.
- 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.

Ios4 update failed on 3gs and now phone dont work at all

so i updated as per apple instructions and update failed no code given and my iphone 3gs is now dead as in blank wiped clean but a black screen with white apple cant even pwer off and not recognized as connected to computer to restore or try updating again. this is my only phone so apple cant call me back for support
anyone else had this happen and fixed it?

Ok this is wat happened to my iPhone 3GS after I opted to upgrade to iOS4.0:
After the upgrade file finished downloading, the installation process got initiated. However, after a few minutes, the process crashed throwing up an Error 1602. My phone just displayed the connect to itunes logo. I did a hard reset (by pushing the home button & the power on/off button simultaneously) and the phone entered the recovery mode (or DFU or watever it is called). I reopened itunes and connected the iphone again. This time, I was told that the phone has been detected on recovery mode. I clicked RESTORE & it told me that the phone would be restored to factory settings,which I chose. The recovery process started and after a coupla minutes, I got another error. This time it was Error 1601.
After spending a good 2 hrs researching the internet, I found the solution that did work for me. Here goes...U would need another computer for this (not the one u have been using to sync ur iphone with):
1) Install itunes 9.2 on another computer.
2) Connect ur iphone (while it displays the connect to itunes logo).
3) itunes will detect an iphone on recovery mode.
4) Click Restore. itunes will tell u that ur phone can be restored to factory settings. Choose OK.
5) itunes will automatically download iOS 4.0
6) once the download is complete, installation of iOS 4 should start immediately. if for some weird reason it doesnt initiate, press shift+restore and select the installation file (it is located in C:\Documenst & Settings\User\Application Data\Apple Computer\itunes\iphone software updates\xxxxx.ipsw )
7) Once u've selected this file, installation will start & ull get a progress bar on ur iphone as well.
8) The installation should come around fine & after a coupla automatic reboots, ur iPhone should now be up & running with iOS 4.0
9) Itunes will ask you to name ur iphone. at this point, eject the iphone from the computer & connect it to the other computer (the one which u previously used to sync the iphone with). open itunes & ull get 2 options: Create a new iphone or restore backup from "Sandy's iPhone" ur iphone's name. Choose the 2nd option & watch ur iphone being restored with all ur backup.\
10) once the sync is complete, eject & enjoy iOS 4
Phew
Cheers!!!

HT4623 have got an 3gs unlocked went to do the latest software update to which it ran through only to say at the end had to restore phone due to error have done this and now it wont work at all say please provide a valid carrier sim to activate wont have

need help with 3gs which has decided to go mad really thanks

Sounds like your phone was hacked to unlock. Restoring the phone put it back to Apple specs for that phone. You will need to find out which carrier it is locked to and see if you qualify for unlocking.

HT1222 i updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now it doesnt work at all :(

i updated my iphone 4 to ios6 n then it doesnt start or work at all

Since you say that you cannot do anything with the iPad at this point you may need to use DFU to restore it. Follow the above instructions about disabling any-virus software and the firewall, then follow these instructions.
Placing an iPhone into Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode
DFU mode is not the same as restore mode. DFU mode bypasses the current OS installed. If you are getting errors trying to restore in iTunes, DFU mode is very likely for you.
1. Open iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac/PC.
2. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
3. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
4. Click OK and Restore your phone.

My IPad froze so I turned it off and now it wont work at all!

Okay so pretty much the screen went dim out of no where and froze so I hit the sleep/wake button and home button and reset the IPad. But here's the thing, it won't turn on now. The IPad was at about 75% battery which is why I am so confused. If anyone has anything that could help me please let me know.

Good day vortexofpandas,
If you are having an issue with your iPad not starting up, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
In particular the section titled If your device gets stuck during startup.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

My Aurora Automatically updated and now its not working at all.I cant uninstall it to install firefox.

I'm using the beta Aurora, and it was working fine until it automatically update. It's not working anymore. The short cut key in desktop changes and when you click it. it says"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". I cannot uninstall it to install a new firefox.

Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows: 
#Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 
#Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)''' 
Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

WHY DOESNT KEY BOARD EXPRESS WORK ANY MORE WITH FIREFOX?? I HOST TOURS AND NOW IT DOESNT WORK AT ALL I HAVE TO USE CROME FOR THEM TO WORK

I USE KEY BOARD EXPRESS TO RUN TOURS FOR A GIN LEAGUE I BELONG TO. AS A HOST FOR GIN GAMES I USE THIS TO RUN MY RULES ECT FOR THE GAMES I AM SETTING. ALL WORKED WELL UNTIL LAST WEEK I CANT USE THEM BECAUSE THEY DONT WORK. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK I HAVE TO USE CROME. WHY DOESNT MY MICROS WORK ANYMORE ???

First, just a note that writing in all caps is considered shouting. Please don't shout at the volunteers.
Can you give me an example of one or two of the macros that aren't working?
Does Firefox not respond at all, or is the wrong thing happening in Firefox?
Does Keyboard Express run purely externally (just sends hotkeys to Firefox) or does it have an add-on? You can check to make sure any add-ons are enabled on the Add-ons page. Here's how:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins.
If anything here is related to Keyboard Express, trying change it from "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate". This might not take full effect until the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
(2) In the left column, click Extensions.
If an extension is disabled, it appears at the end of the list on a gray background. If you find one related to Keyboard Express, you can use the Enable button to re-enable it. If Firefox will not allow that, you may need to update the extension.

I updated my iphone to the ios6 and now it wont work.

i updated my iphone to the ios6... and now it wont work at all.
it wont even turn on, it keeps going back and forth between the black screen and then the apple mark pops up for a few seconds, and then turns back to the black screen again... and that just keeps going on...
someone please help...

Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

Error code 1,iphone backup and restore,now phone doesnt work at all and apple not in any hurry to solve issue,only had phone 4 mths,wish id stuck with iphone3 and never upgraded

what a nightmare,no phone for 3 days and no sign of any positive help from apple.done backup and restore as wifi on phone stopped working,error code 1 and now phone doesnt work at all,apple say other people having problem but havent heard of anyone else,really disappointed in way apple are keeping me hanging on,phone is only 4 mths old

My iphone is only 6 months old and I am experiencing the same problems. I have already had to have the phone swapped once with a phone that has a blown speaker. (The apple store is 2.5hours away so I havent been able to go back to replace the replacement) Since I did the ios 5 update, my phone says NO SERVICE and drops calls. It was speratic but last night, same ERROR message as you. As you know, if forces you to restore which caused me to loose valuable information and documents. insert loud profanity here _________. lol
