HELP! My 3GS wont charge from the mains or be recognised by my computer?!

Hi,
So Im having some similar problems with my Iphone 3GS (16g, white) Literally this afternoon, I noticed it needed a charge, so I tried plugging it into the usual wall socket in which I use, I then noticed it hadnt started its charge. So I moved it to another power point in my house and luckily it charged, so I left it for an hour to charge up and then took it off charge and continued to use it as normal. A few hours later, just before I head out to work I go to top up the charge as I am going to be out for a while. I plug it into numerous sockets in the house and absolutely nothing happens, it dosent recognise the charger. So I decide to try hooking it up to my laptop, I plug it into the usb and instead of the usual itunes startup and sync it does windows displays a bubble saying 'unknown device' and then another one afterwards saying something along the lines of 'the device has malfunctioned'. I try turning it off and on again, I have even tried the reboot/reset thing holding sleep and the home button but again it will not charge or be recognised by my laptop.
I know its not a problem with the power lead as I have turned the phone off and inserted the lead and the phone recognises it by bringing up the apple logo from the black off screen and turning the device on but it will not charge from there at all.
Any help at all??? Ive literally only had it 5 months, I very rarely plug it into my computer probably once a monthish...I dont know what to do?
Help?!

Im having the same problem as well... Mine is doing it shortly after updating it to 4.0 software... mine charges fine but no connection to the comp is being picked up... I posted a thread last nyt... iphone not being recognized by computer if u wanna have a read but we are having similar probs... Im sooo p.o!!!

  • HT1476 My Iphone5 wont charge from the mains or USB. What should I do?

    I got my Iphone5 as a christmas present and already it will not charge. I tried charging it from the mains and USB port, so I decided to buy a new cable. Even now with the new cable my phone still will not charge! What can I do about this?

    You should make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and have it evaluated.

    See above.

    Could be a failed cable or charger. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Iphone 6 wont charge from macbook pro

    Hello, i usually charge my iPhone 6 from my Mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro, lately the phone just wont charge from the macbook, i tried different cables but it still wont work.
    The iPhone charges from the wall adapter with the same cable but my Macbook doesn't.
    I tried restarting both the iPhone and the macbook, which didn't help..
    Anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue?

    iPhones require their own charger which came with it because the computers' USB ports do not supply enough power to charge the phone's battery.

  • My iphone 3gs is charging on the wall charger but wont charge on the pc, have cleaned it, yet it can sync and update with itunes easily, but it still wont charge, have tried several cables as well same effect.

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    You need to help us first ...
    Computer specs:
    OS, CPU, RAM, GPU, vRAM ... and also disc layout & connections can be useful (as in, "2 internal hard-drives and an external on Thunderbolt connection for exports")
    Program specs:
    Specific build of Premier Pro from the bottom of the "About" splash screen off the "Help" menu is best.
    Footage file type: MXF, AVCHD, MOV, m2s, what?
    Even the camera it was shot on can be of interest at times.
    And did you use media browser to import, then project panel to drag & drop?

    The bottom rubber case of my macbook 13" late 2009 has expanded and has detached from the main body..As i'm not presently under warranty i wanted to know will the repair be free of charge for me. I had once got it replaced for free but in warranty. As i read some where in the support that apple had agreed with the defect and had decided to replace the bottom covers without any charge.

    Thankx

    Hi,
    Here's the Bottom Case Replacement Link

    It doesn't answer your specific questions about cost... but it does advise to contact an Apple Store or an AASP...
    Anyway have a look at it... if you haven't already..

    My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????  I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on.  It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it.  IT just WONT charge?  Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

    Thanks,

  • Hide/Change "Help" button from the Main Toolbar

    Hi all,
    I would like to know if there is any possibility to change the URLs displayed when clicking in "Help" button from the Main Toolbar.
    I think that it is not possible so that is the reason I was also asking the the "toolbar ID" in order to hide the button through "Toolbar customization".
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Regards,

    Hi Laura,
    We can change the URLs displayed when clicking in "Help" button from the Main Toolbar.
    In System Properties please mention the URLs to which you want these links to point:
    Documentation - system.help.url.buyside
    E-Learning - system.link.community_url
    Community - system.link.elearning_url

  • How can I delete an item from the main left column of iTunes?

    I'd like to delete an item from the main left hand column in iTunes (the column containing the main headings LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, PLAYLISTS etc etc). Under the first heading 'LIBRARY' appear the items Library, Music, Movies, iTunes U, Books, Apps and Ringtones. I'd like to remove the item "Library" from that list - it appears immediately after the heading "LIBRARY" and serves no purpose whatsoever. (Neither does it appear to cause any harm, I must say, just a nuisance.) This item does not appear in any of the iTunes viewing options or controls lists. Neither does it appear in iTunes in the other accounts on my Mac and I have yet to see it any other iTunes on any other Mac.
    I've upgraded since about iTunes 8 assuming the problem would eventually disappear through the upgrades but it hasn’t, even through all the providedupgrade increments available for iTunes.
    I'm assuming it's from something I've installed in my main user account at some stage and it entered this item in the iTunes app. But I can't see how to remove it. The only things I can remember installing are "iTunes Batch Column Renamer" and "Join Together", both if which are just Scripts and which I use fairly regularly, but I don't recall either of them installing that particular item.
    Is there any folder I can navigate to to edit the list of items in that main left hand column of iTunes?
    Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

    on second thought, that you have an item "library" is indeed odd - there shouldn't be.
    suggest you try removing iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.
    btw, you didn't install any 3rd party tools like this script:
    Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4 
    This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
    Show "Library" playlist
    Changing view setting is global
    Allow half-stars in ratings
    Hide "Ping" buttons
    Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
    Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
    Create playlists for purchased song collections
    Play songs while importing or converting
    Create file names with track number
    Maintain grid view for Search results
    Option-click zoom button for Mini Player&
    Show buttons horizontally

  • Access a nested symbol timeline from the main stage

    Hi all,
    Would love some help on accessing a nested symbol from the main stage please.
    To set the scene.....
    "Its an autumn day..
    no sorry...just joking...
    So i have a symbol called "NormalAnatomy" - its not on the main stage, but when a button is clicked it appears in the 'content' box which is just a rectangle on the main stage.
    Inside "NormalAnatomy" symbol is another symbol called "Scrub_all" which is an animation
    For users to view the animation they use a scrub bar like this lovely lady has invented:
    Create Click and Touch Draggable Scrubbers with Edge Animate CC | sarahjustine.com
    So for Sarah Justines scrubber to work - the main stage has a lot of actions added to it. Also the "timelinePlay" symbol is on the main stage
    Its starts:
    var symDur = sym.getSymbol("timelinePlay").getDuration();
    var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("timelinePlay");
    var scrubber = sym.$("scrubber");
    var bar = sym.$("bar");
    sym.$("mobileHit").hide();
    var dragme = false;
    So I put my "NormalAnatomy" symbol on my main stage to see if the code would work and changed all the relevant details.. and indeed it worked!
    var symDur = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").getSymbol("Scrub_all").getDuration();
    var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").getSymbol("Scrub_all");
    var scrubber = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").$("scrubber");
    var bar = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").$("bar");
    sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").$("mobileHit").hide();
    var dragme = false;
    But i don't want the "NormalAnatomy" symbol to be on the main stage as I want it to appear in the 'content' box only when i hit a btn
    So as soon as I took this symbol off the main stage, the scrubber doesn't work. So I click a btn, and the symbol appears in the content box but the scrubber doesn't work.
    so I tried in front of the "NormalAnatomy"
    getStage().
    getStage("content").
    getComposition().getStage().
    getSymbol("content").
    but nothing works
    The main problem must be the fact that the NormalAnatomy symbol appears inside a content box so the MainStage actions doesn't know how to find it??
    So my question is... what should I put in the main stage actions to make it access the "NormalAnatomy" symbol?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    On click handler for the symbol use
    sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("nameofsymbol").play();
    or
    sym.getSymbol("nameofsymbol").play();
    replace the italics with the literal name of the symbol as it appears in the Elements panel.
    Some API details found here (http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/edgeanimate/api/current/index.html) in the Work With Symbols section.

  • Can't find the topics from the main table of contents

    I need urgent help. I am still running RH 8 for Word (2007). I published the entire project. When testing the main table of contents, the books and topics appear as expected, but when I try to go to any of the topics I get the message:
    The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor....
    From the individual projects I can see the topics. When I publish them and view the contents all seem to work fine, but it does not when viewing the entire project from the main table of contents.
    The main project looks as follows:

    Tried that and still have the problem. The RH help lists the following workaround for the error
    message :
    To workaround this WinHelp viewer limitation, you can either manually insert the Help filename statement on every page of the external CNT file or allow RoboHelp to automatically do it for you:
    1 Open the Help file containing the included external CNT file.
    2 From RoboHelp Explorer’s File menu, select Project Settings.
    3 Select the Contents tab.
    4 Select the Include Help filename with pages option. When you save the TOC file, this option automatically places the "@helpfilename.hlp" inside the CNT file on every page.
    5 Click OK.
    6 Save the external CNT file.
    7 Recompile the Help project
    I went to the main index project which contains the external cnt file and tried to select the contents tab (no such tab in the project settings). Then I went to the actual project, and again, selected Project Settings there is no Contents Tab. Is there any other way to get that contents tab?
    This is how my screen looks like:

    Andrei1,
    Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
    "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
    I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
         loader.unload();
         loader2.unload();
         loader3.unload();
    I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
         function killLoad():void{

    I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly?  Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
    ---- Here is my updated code ----
    // variable for external loaders
    var loader:Loader;
    var loader1:Loader;
    var loader2:Loader;
    var loader3:Loader;
    // makes borders resize with browser size
    function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
    // resizes portfolio page to center
         loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
         loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
    // resizes about page to center
         loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
         loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
    //adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
         Down();
    //PORTFOLIO BUTTON
    //adds eventlistner so that gallery.swf can be loaded
         MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
    function Down(event:MouseEvent = null):void {
    // re adds listener for contact.swf and about.swf
         MovieClip(root).nav.info.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down1, false, 0, true);
         MovieClip(root).nav.about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down3, false, 0, true);
    //unloads gallery.swf from enter frame if users presses portfolio button in nav
         var requester:URLRequest=new URLRequest("carouselLoader.swf");
         loader = new Loader();
         loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError);
         function ioError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
         trace(event);
         try {
         loader.load(requester);
         } catch (error:SecurityError) {
         trace(error);
         this.addChild(loader);
         loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - 739) * .5;
         loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - 500) * .5;
    // sure this is not the best way to do this - but it is unload external swfs
         loader.unload();
         loader2.unload();
         loader3.unload();
    // remove eventlistner and prevents duplication of gallery.swf
         MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down);
    //INFORMATION BUTTON
         //adds eventlistner so that info.swf can be loaded
         MovieClip(root).nav.info.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down1, false, 0, true);
         function Down1(event:MouseEvent = null):void {
         //this re-adds the EventListener for portfolio so that end user can view again if they wish.
         MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
         MovieClip(root).nav.about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down3, false, 0, true);
         var requester:URLRequest=new URLRequest("contactLoader.swf");
         loader2 = null;
         loader2 = new Loader();
         loader2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError);    
         function ioError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
         trace(event);
         try {

         addChild(loader2);
         loader2.x = (stage.stageWidth - 658.65) * .5;
         loader2.y = (stage.stageHeight - 551.45) * .5;
    loader.unload();
    loader2.unload();
    loader3.unload();
         // remove eventlistner and prevents duplication of info.swf
         MovieClip(root).nav.info.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down1);
    //ABOUT BUTTON
         //adds eventlistner so that info.swf can be loaded
         MovieClip(root).nav.about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down3, false, 0, true);
         function Down3(event:MouseEvent = null):void {
         //this re-adds the EventListener for portfolio so that end user can view again if they wish.
         MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
         MovieClip(root).nav.info.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down1, false, 0, true);

         // remove eventlistner and prevents duplication of info.swf
         MovieClip(root).nav.about.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down3);
         stop();
