I have a very specific problem with my iPhone, I could use someone to help me with it.

Recently my iPhone (2g, yes two) froze. The touch screen wasn't responding neither was the sleep button, yet the home button worked fine. I didn't drop it prior to this, I just reached into my pocket, pulled it out to listen to some music and it wasn't responding.
I went home, plugged it into my PC (win7 x64) and restored it through iTunes.
The restoration fixed the unresponsiveness, but now I can only make emergency calls. This can be described most accurately as DFU mode. I say most because I've tried methods to get it out of DFU mode and these methods have failed me.
iTunes recognizes my iPhone simply as "iPhone" no longer "[name]'s iPhone".
Each time I go through the method to leave DFU mode, I am able to select restore when iTunes detects that a device is in DFU mode.
However, this is as far as I can get.
It goes through restoring, and then tries to access the iTunes store on my computer.
Each time it tries to access the store this way (i'm not even sure why it has to) the connection times out and iTunes cannot complete my iTunes store request.
Still my phone remains in DFU mode and, while I can connect to the store on my computer to buy music and such, whenever I click on the iPhone under the devices tab, it tries to access and times out.
This is really frustrating and I'm tempted to just throw my iPhone out the window and get a droid instead.
Apple won't help because the phone is no longer under warranty, so this is really my last resort.
Also, it's not an issue with the SIM card. I have placed the SIM card in one of my friends cheap flip phone (same carrier) and it worked fine, it gave the phone my number and I could make and recieve calls.
I marked the product for iPhone 3G, because apparently with Apple, you don't fix broken devices, you just buy new ones.

First you should check on another Wifi to see if it's your Lion machine.
If it only occurs on your Wifi, then perhaps you have local interference and need to set the router on another channel far from others.
You can install a free program called KisMAC that you set your Driver Preferences to Apple Airport Extreme Passive Mode, enter your Admin password and monitor your local Wifi signals, see if you cna pin point the cause of your interference or meddler.
If your not running WPA2 with AES and a 12 plus random character/letter/number password for both Admin and Internet access use only then you should seriously consider doing so.

    hi,i have a very big problem....i had an accident with my macbook , i poured some champagne and it does not start anymore....it will work again???

    If you spilled champagne on it, chances are not good.  If you haven't alredy DO NOT turn it on or charge it.  I would immediately take it to the Genius Bar and see if they can clean it up before. 
    Had the same problem with a 15" MBP and a tea spill and I did the opposite.  Trashed the Logic & Keyboard Assembly.  Cost to repair was going to be more than what I paid for a computer so ended up having to replace it.

    I happened to create a movie clip and inside to create a scroll that is two isntancias,
    I mean:
    in the first frame create a button in the 6 to 5 buttons and an action to melleve the sixth frame and another to return. (Elemental truth)
    Now I have a problem. In creating a movie clip instance name to each button and in the average place the next fram as2,
    boton.onRollOver name = function () {
           gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", "eqtiqueta");
    because what I want is that from inside the movie clip, go to the scene proncipal to a frame that is three in the label name.

  • I have a very similar problem (5506) in that I changed my appleID loginid and now none of my home shares work. All itunes have been re-authorized/authenticated with the new appleID string. Yet I still receive this error. I too am looking for suggestions.

    If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

    I don't know who 'Mrs Gideon' is, but we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you have previously contacted support then you can use the same method that you used last time, and, if you have a case number, include that as well

  • I have 2 problems I hope someone can help me with.

    As the title says, I problems I hope someone can help me with as I don't know who else to ask for this.
    1. I tried to pre-order Dying Light for the Xbox One and during checkout the system cancelled my order saying that the store stock had been spoken for. However, I went in once the game released to the same store and was able to purchase the game no problem so in effect I just missed out on my $10 pre-order certificate.I wanted to pre-order but it wouldn't let me - I have never seen this error before.
    2. I took advantage of the $39.99 12+1 month Xbox Live Gold gift card you had on sale yesterday. Only the Halo one was abailable at my local store so I ordered 2 of those for pickup. I got home and used the cards and it was only for 12 months not 12+1 as it still says on the website here:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=3878002,+8972116&_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&type=p...
    Is there a way to get the extra month advertized?
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello also_nadrag,
    Thanks for writing in, and thanks too for being a My Best Buy member.  We appreciate your loyalty.  I'll be happy to talk to you about your recent online experiences.
    From the sound of things you may have waited too long to attempt a pre-order for in-store pickup for Dying Light.  As the order was not able to be processed, I'm afraid we will not be issuing the $10 certificate.
    The product description on the Xbox Live Halo card is incorrect in labeling this item as including 1 extra month.  As the image online and packaging indicates, this card has an extra bonus for Halo: The Master Chief Collection.  We have reported the description error and I hope it is corrected soon.  I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
    Please visit us any time with questions or concerns.
    Sincerely,
    Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • I have a very strange problem - A can listen on B, but B cannot listen on A

    Hello!
    I have a very disturbing problem.
    I have done a Paint-like program that add Point-objects on the JFrame. This porgram is networked and it contains a thread class that is sending the Point and a thread class that recieves Point objects. That makes it possible to open two instances of the program and when you paint on one of the windows, the program will send the point coordinats through a DatagramPacket to the other window. So, to make this clear, this program has ONE Sending class called Client and ONE Receiving class called Server. So when you want to make a connection, then you have to open two instances of the program.
    So what is the problem?
    Suppose that I have opened two instances of the program. Instance A is sending packets to port 2001 and is listening for packets on port 2000. Instance B is sending packets to port 2000 and is listening for packets on port 2001.
    When I draw a point on Instance A's window, the Instance B is receiving the point and draws the point on its window.
    When I draw a point on Instance B's window, the Instance A is NOT receiving the point. Instance B is listening on itself. That is the problem. Why is instance B listening for packets from itself and why doesn´t A get B's packets when B gets A's packets?
    Here is the send och receive classes (called Client and Server):
    class Client extends Thread
                Point p;
                Client(Point p)          
                     this.p = p;
                public void run()
                     System.out.println("Sending");
                     try
                          InetAddress toHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();                     
                          int port = 2000;                    
                          DatagramSocket sock = new DatagramSocket();                                                   
                          String message = Integer.toString(p.x) + " " + Integer.toString(p.y);                         
                          byte[] data = message.getBytes();                    
                          DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, toHost, port);     
                          sock.send(p);                                                                                
                     catch(SocketException se){}
                     catch(IOException ioe){}
                     catch(ConcurrentModificationException cme){}
    class Server extends Thread               
                String message;
                String[] xy;
                public void run()
                     System.out.println("Receiving");
                     try
                          byte[] data = new byte[8192];
                          DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
                          DatagramSocket sock = new DatagramSocket(2001);
                          while(true)     
                               sock.receive(packet);                                                                                            
                               message = new String(packet.getData(), 0, packet.getLength());                                          
                               xy = message.split(" ");                                                                 
                               Point p = new Point(Integer.parseInt(xy[0]), Integer.parseInt(xy[1]));          
                               addPoint(p);                                                                                               
                     catch(SocketException se){}
                     catch(IOException ioe){}
                     catch(ConcurrentModificationException cme){}
      }I have tried to solve this for hours but I have not found any solution.
    Please, help!

    Here is an executable example.
    1. To run the first instance: Compile the code and run the application and note that it is listening on port 2000 and sending through port 2001
    2. To run the second instance: Change the ServerSocket to listen on port 2001 and the DatagramSocket to send through port 2000 and compile and run the application.
    3. Tell me this: Why does the first instance listen from DatagramPackets from itself and not from the other running instance while the other running instance is listening for DatagramPackets sent from the first instance? The one who can give me the answer will be the man of the month.

    Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
    Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY

  • I have been receiving charges from apple itunes and nothing has been purchased.  Trying to talk to someone live is a nightmare.  How do I get ahold of someone to help me with these charges before they start to really negatively effect my bank account?

    I have been receiving charges from apple itunes and nothing has been purchased.  When I look at the charges on my online banking a phone number is provided, but when I call that number it tells me to go to the web site.  Trying to talk to someone live is a nightmare. How do I get ahold of someone to help me with these charges before they start to really negatively effect my bank account?

    You've checked the purchase history on your account to see what app(s) they are from ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. And you haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 ?
    If you haven't made them, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made them, then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
