  • IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
    I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.

  • Iphone 3gs camera shutter not opening......

    hi......Plz. help.....   ihave iphone 3gs......am open camera but shutter not opening....  am also reset , restart , restore......iphone.....but same problem....?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Try clearing your Camera Roll.
    Else, return it to whom you purchased it from.

    My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

    When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

  • IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

    Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
    If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
    Thanks,
    Datzy.

    ok seems you have to do a restore...but in the process your photos might be not backed up so i suggest you download this
    http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/detail?name=SetupiPhoneBrowser. 1.93.exe
    (windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

  • I have restored my iphone but camera shutter still will not open/work, i have restored my iphone but camera shutter still will not open/work

    I have restored my iphone but camera shutter still will not open/work

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if then works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an iphone 3gs and it has suddenly switched off, it wont charge and it won't turn back on. HELP!!!!

    I have an iphone 3gs and it has suddenly switched off and it won't charge or switch back on HELP!!!!!!!!

    Do a reset hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple sign and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.  If that doesn't work - do the steps while your phone is plug into your PC.

  • Iphone 4 camera shutter not opening

    hi all,
    actually my iphone 4 camera shutter is not opening. im facing this problem after update,and is the replacement policy is also liable in inda , please help me out thanks in advance

    I read it, in that case (holding sleep/wake + home until iphone reboots): I have both rebooted and resetted my iPhone several times. Still without camera shutter.
    I have also removed and again installed several apps that use the camera, without success.
    The last time I'm sure the camera still functioned properly was January 1st.
    I have also force-quitted all apps from the background.
    Also, the flash on the rear of the phone does not work as it should. I have an app that enables it (Light as SpringBoard name), but the app does not respond to the on/off toggle and the flash just goes on and off randomly (not as strobe!) and uncontrollable.
    (I feel like David Attenborough saying camera shutter so often, "And this is a camera shutter: ...")

  • My iphone 3gS camera has a dark shadow looking dot on it. I lloked it up and i think maybe its a pixel problem. What can apple do to fix it?

    Hmm, then it could be something somehow with the actual camera sensor behind the lens or maybe software issue. But i'd recommend ringing Apples support line and seeing if they can fix it, if it's still in warrantly they should do it free of charge.
