Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, set it up as new device: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If still no luck, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

Has the software on your phone been modified at some point in the past?

You can try, but despite what they'll tell you in the jailbreaking community, restoring the device does NOT always return the phone to factory condition, especially if the modem baseband has been altered. The vast majority of users have bricked their phones and have been left high and dry by the jailbreaking community.

I lost my iPhone 3Gs, when someone tries to switch the phone from my iTunes account to theirs, will I be informed of this transaction?

My daughter lost her I Phone 3GS, unfortunately I did not have find my phone on it so I cannot use that feature, but I know that if the phone is already associated with another iTunes ID, there has to be a 90 waiting period or you can transfer it, will I be informed if the device is switched?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, whoever has your phone is more likely to simply wipe your phone and use there own iCloud account and you won't receive any notifications.

I want to upload a photo taken with my iPhone 3GS to a yahoo group with the phone. Is this possible?

Can you take a photo with the iPhone3GS, then upload it to a yahoo group using the iPhone?

What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.

Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here.
It's highly likely that it is now bricked. The jailbreak most likely did permanent damage. There are lots of reports of previously jailbroken/hacked phones that become unusable when attempting to apply a legitimate unlock.

HT4972 I tried to update my old iPhone 3GS and is giving me a message that it can be activated. This is my old phone and it shouldn't have a line but I Still like to use it as an iPod. What can I do.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes. I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first. I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive. I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc. I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

I recently did an update to my iphone 4s and now i have lost all my custom ringtones and some music I had loaded. What have I done wrong ? I did a backup and restore.

Hello Chance1985,
Sorry for your wait. Okay so let's try re-connecting with iTunes on your computer and syncing your device. This may give you all your stuff back. Sync in Music tab.

Since installing the latest update on my iphone 3gs this afternoon whatsapp now says it cannot access my photos. I have gone to settings-location services- but whatsapp is not listed in the list below. Please help!!!!

Contact Whatsapp for support.
There is no logical expectation for Whatsapp to be listed under location services or for that to have any affect on what the app can access.
