    Hi Sarah,
    Is the PC showing a blue screen after connecting the iPhone? If it does the information in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502 may help.
    Try updating any Logitech QuickCam/Webcams, Lexmark scanners, or built-in media card readers that are attached or built into your PC.

    Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

I am so frustrated with this. Why? and it did it by itself, i didnt touch anything, or clicked anything. please help me this is urgent! I am a businessman and need my contacts.

    You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

    during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

  • Hey , i'm using Iphone 3GS and when i'm playing a game called "Tower of Savior "it will quit to homepage by itself but others is normal. Anyone got solution?

    Hey , i'm using Iphone 3GS and when i'm playing a game called "Tower of Savior "it will quit to homepage by itself but others is normal. Anyone got solution?

    Not sure but the possible problem can be that the game developers doesn't support 3GS models, thus the game is not optimized for your model. And the crashes are the result of too complex software for your model. Just my 0.02

  • TS3694 hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!

    hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!

    If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice,  It's in recovery mode.  You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
    I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead.  At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios.

  • My iPhone 3gs locked when I was updating to iOS 6.0.1.

    My iPhone 3gs locked when I was updating to iOS 6.0.1.
    I begun updating by the iPhone itself, then it asked to connect to iTunes, but at the end  - after tried to restore the firmware it does not restore (id error 29). I've just replaced the battery, there is something linked with this?
    Why do I unlocked my iPhone?
    Thanks,

    How did you replace the battery? Did you take the back off
    and replace it yourself?

  • I have an iPhone 4 that is not holding charge and heating up.  I've been told it is a problem with the processor.

    I have an iphone 4 that is not holding charge and is heating up excessively.  I've been told that the iphone 4 is having problems with the processor and that it will soon die and there is no way to repair it.  I got my phone in CR through Kolbi / ICE which guarantees it only for a year.  I would like to know what Apple would like me to do.  i have not taken it in for rapair or anything in hopes that they will acknowledge that the phone is only a year old and would support it.
    Appreciate your help,

    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.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple or the Apple Authorized Service Center in the country where the device was originally sold.  The warranty is not International.
    All iPhones come with a one year warranty when sold as new.

  • Iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage

    My iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage. When he texts me, his name comes through as my email address. I think this could be because we both have the same itunes account. not all messages my brother sends i recieve but i would just like this sorted out. please help!

    Sounds like you signed up the same account for iMessages or the same phone number was added to iMessages.
    Go into SETTINGS/MESSAGES/SEND & RECEIVE
    That is the list of numbers and email addresses that the phones will receive iMessages for. Remove the duplicates that you might see between the two phones. Also make sure that the Apple ID at the top is not the same.

  • My iPhone 3GS doesnt turn on unless charging

    My iPhone 3GS doesnt turn on unless charging and when on says to connect to iTunes.
    any clue to why this happens?
    thank you for your support.

    Is it fully charged?
    If it is... then I would suspect a battery issue (i.e dead battery).
