I can't charge iPhone 3GS with computer or sync

I can't charge my iPhone with my computer, but the rest of my family can sync their iPods(two 2nd gens and one 4th gen) It works fine with the wall charger, so I know it's not the cord (Plus I've tried other cords). Also, I've tried switching the USB slot, using compressed air to see if it would clear out possible dust, trying a different computer, and many other tricks, plus completely restarting the iPhone. It wouldn't be a big deal if I could still sync it with the computer one last time so I could sync wirelessly from now on, but I can't.
Lastly, it is out of warranty and I did not purchase the iPhone so I don't even know if I could take it to the Apple Store to see if they could fix it.

You don't need anything, as such is built directly into the iOS. Your carrier, however, needs to support such.

Charging iPhone 3Gs with original iphone charger

A coworker told me today that I shouldn't charge my iphone 3gs with my old cable because it doesn't regulate the charge the same and you could over charge the battery and ruin it over time. Any truth to this? I don't want to have to go out and buy new cables.

New phone uses the same cables as any of their other current products. There is no worry.
Now some of the original iPOD cables are different as back then they used 10W I believe, while the newer generations and current for both iPods and iPhones use 5W.
So if not using a VERY OLD cable from early iPODS (original iPhone used newer one), you should be fine.

Can you charge iphone 3gs on macbook

Hi my iphone 3gs will sync when i connect to usb port, but it will not charge from my macbook, this is the first time i have tried it, since my 7 year old imac just died and used that for all my itunes and apple tv server any ideas ?

With the new A/V cable you get a USB port for charging during viewing.
The line out jack on the dock is for audio. You can dock your phone and have it hook up to your stereo or speakers.

Charging iphone 3Gs by computer is ok?

Hi everybody,
I have just bought an iPhone 3Gs 32 Gb and now I've got a question:
charging the iPhone using by the computer lots of frequent short times is ok for the lithium battery? Does this action damage the iPhone? Is better charging it in only one long time (for some hours to have 100% battery) or chargin it frequently in lots of short times?
Thanks!
Bye

I believe it is better to charge to 100% more often than not. I can't imagine many "light" charges would be the best...
This page will be of interest to you:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
And this excerpt applies to your question:
Use iPhone Regularly
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?, How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?

I am using a iPhone 3GS at the moment...and I would like to change that phone with iPhone 4 White.. so.. where can I change and how ?...

Not sure I understand the question... you want to swap your phone out?
If that's the case, depending on who your provider is, and where you originally purchased the phone, you should probably begin your discussion there, and find out if you have an upgrade or exchange option.
If you've purchased the iPhone 4, and just want to sync and start using THAT phone instead? And have all of your apps, and music moved over there? Well... we can do that!
If you can clarify the question, I'll narrow down the answer!
Thanks...

Can't Preorder iPhone 3GS with AT&T Business account

Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me why I can't preorder the iPhone 3GS using my AT&T Business account.
I click the "Get Started" > then "Replace on existing account" > fill in my AT&T info > then it keeps saying "Cannot connect to server... Reserve at Apple Retail Store..."
I just spend 2 hours on hold with Apple and soon as a representative answered my call, it was dropped.
Any ideas??

You and me both, dude. I am 99% sure that it's a business account, since that is where I get directed to when I call ATT. But I know I have a FAN discount through the college. Not much of a FAN right now, though >:-(

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found a product on our site that might help. It is a Composite AV Cable for an iPhone 3GS:

Can i charge iphone 4s with uk wall ipad charger?

Also , if i can how about charging the ipad in the car,

The iPad charger can provide up to 10 watts, but it does not push it allows the device to draw, so it is safe to charge your iPhone, which draws 5 watts, with the iPad's charger.
In the car you would want to use a charger that can provide the iPad 10 watts or else it will charge extremely slowly. There are a few 3rd party developers that have new car chargers with a USB port for both an iPhone at 5 watts and for the iPad at 10 watts.

Can't restore iphone 3gs with IOS 4.3.5

I have a 3gs and ever time i try resotre the iphone using the newest version of itunes with the newest version of ios firmware i get the 1013 error. i have not edited the host file or anything. The error always comes at the very end of the restore. i need help!!!

Are you upgrading the firmware from iTunes? From Apple's web site:
Error 9006: Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.

How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Using iPhone 3Gs with noise canceling headset

I recently upgraded from a 3G to a 3Gs. I used the 3G with a corded connection from the audio jack to a Lightspeed Zulu aviation noise canceling headset. It worked great. However, with the 3Gs I can hear the person I am talking to fine, but they say they can barely hear me. This never happened when I used my 3G phone with the NC headset. Is there a volume adjustment on the outgoing audio in the 3Gs?

So my question is, can i use IPhone 3Gs with my network instead of AT&T?
No, if the phone is bought from AT&T in the US, it is locked to AT&T and AT&T do not offer unlocking, so it would only be able to be used with AT&T.
There doesn't appear to be an official iPhone provider in Egypt, so you would have to buy an unlocked one from another country:

Note that for any repairs or service the iPhone would have to be returned to the country of purchase.

Can you charge an ipad with an iphone charger

can you charge an ipad with an iphone charger?

Yes, you will cause no damage... it will just take a lot longer...
iPad Charging
"The fastest 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.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
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."
