Im having problems getting the iphone 3gs to charge and i finally am on a computer with internet... Is there any way to update it from here

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

    Hi syvliebaby88888888,
    If you are having issues with recharging your iPhone's battery, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    In particular, this section -
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • HT4623 my phone will not charge or turn on what do I DO?

    my phone will not charge or turn on what do I DO?

    First: Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (typically 10 seconds, but hold for up to 30 if nothing happens). This will usually resolve the problem, unless the update failed in the middle.
    Next: Restore the phone using iTunes on your computer. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My phone will not charge any one else have this problem

    I have plug my charger in to every outlet I can find and my phone will not charge. I have tried more than one charger and no luck.

        KC9NVV,
    We never want you to have issues with charging your device! That's definitely no fun! Are you using the charger that came with the phone? Have you tried restarting the phone to see if that makes any difference? If you look in the charging port are there any signs of corrosion?

  • Iv just updated my iphone 4s to ios7 and now the phone will not charge or hold battrry life .the phone was working fine before update whats going on ??? software or hardware

    iphone 4s need help battery not workin since uptade of ios7

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • HT201210 the speaker on my phone broke, the apple sent me home with new iphone5 but ios6 operating sys. he told me to update the ios7 first then backup my personal info onto phone but the phone will not restore and now I get an error code3 overtime. up to

    Can't restore my new iphone 5 because i was told to update it to ios7 before backing up my info on it and now I just get error code 3 on restoring it

    You should restore from the back up so you can get the info back on your device. Then, what you can do is import those pictures to your computer.
    At that point, you'll want to restore again as new possibly, then once your phone is as new, use iTunes to sync those picture from your computer back to your phone.
    As far as contacts, do you know if those were ever backed up to iCloud? If so, all you should need to do is sign in with you iCloud account.

  • Why did my charger already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now phone will not charge..only had it 2 months..what a disappointment so far..should have stayed with Apple..would like to get my money back. Terrible experience so far.

    Why did my charger from Verizon already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now the phone will not charge..what a disappointment and a hassle..should have stuck with Apple..only had the phone 2 months. Hope they will exchange it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is either a Phone issue or an Electrical issue in your home.!   when charging Do you always use the same electrical  outlet?  or did you try others..
    You will know or should know if there are any issues with your other Electronics.. that you Plug into it..
    If it is the s5 which it sounds like it could be then the Local Verizon store at there Discretion will determined if replacement is needed you have a 1 year Manufactures Warranty that covers for things like what your Describing I would take it too your local store see if they'll get you a Replacement or you may have to go through Samsung..
    But I would Try another OUTLET just to see if your phone charges with it.. And Good Luck b33

  • Equium M50 - The battery will not charge

    Hi, I need some advice regarding a charging problem on my PC.
    The battery will not charge and the level indicator shows a constant 5%.
    The machine is about 15months old and does not get hard usage, probably an average of 5-10 hours per week.Usually it's powered from the mains, so the battery tends to be kept topped up.
    Before I go and replace the battery, is there any diagnostic I can do as a user?
    Looking forward to a reply.
    many thanks
    Steve

    Hi,
    no, I dont think that it will makes any sense to perform some diagnosis because it sounds like a hardware related issue and I think it would be better to bring your machine to a authorized service partner for a hardware checkup or probably a exchange of the malfunctioning components.
    To find the nearest available service partner in your country you can try this link:

    Hello talaldanaf,
    You may need to back up, then restore your iPhone.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If your iPhone continues to restart when you pull down the Notification Center, I would recommend restoring the iPhone as a new device.

  • The past few days every time I open firefox I get the windows' "do you want this program to make changes to your computer..."

    Hello
    I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
    I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
    My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.
    How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
    thanks I am grateful in advance. I can't use this browser if this s going to happen it gets on my nerves.

    You're welcome.

  • When I try to open an app on my phone or go onto safari, it will open then close on me. Also my phone freezes a lot and sometimes when I listen to music through my head phones, the song will sound funny and it will sound muted. Replacement?

    Hi apple community
    I've been having issues with my phone for about two weeks now. My power button doesn't work properly, whenever I try turning it off I have to try over and over again just to turn it off. I've also been dealing with a lot of freezing with my phone, my music on my phone sometimes doesn't play properly and when it does it sounds funny and the person who is singing has a muted echoing voice. When ever I try to go onto safari it will log me out straight away the same with all of the other apps on my store. It's really bugging me at the moment as I can not use the phone properly (iPhone 5) also I've got this app called "Kik" and whenever I go on there sometimes it'll come up with a pop up box saying "Error with code data".
    I would like to know if my phone is faulty, and to be able to get a replacement or possibly an upgrade?
    Thank you

    Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

  • Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally

    Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally.
    It has only happened for the last month or so
    Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop button

    Who replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

  • Hi Since updating to ios 7.04 i have noticed the phone consumes so much more power. I have to charge the phone twice sometimes 3 times a day. WHY?

    Hi,
    Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??
