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.

Only the carrier can authorise unlocking. You need to contact them.

Maybe your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use another carrier?
If so, now it locks back to the original carrier.

Sure, bring your 3GS in and they will give you about 10% off towards the cost of a new one. You would be far better off to sell it yourself.

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Its a 1year old phone n the version is 4.3.2(8H7). Also the volume sign does not go off from the screen. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

Do you have a case on your iPhone? It could be pressing the buttons on the iPhone and causing it to restart or behave unusually.
This Apple doc will help you find out if there is a hardware or software problem -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
You can always contact Apple and setup service through Express Lane.

i have an iphone 3gs that i updated thia evening to the latest software but the problem it could not read the sim card plse any help

Your iPhone was hacked to unlock it. Now that you have updated it has cleared that hack and is locked with the original cell provider. Call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number and they can tell you the cell provider it is locked with. Then contact that cell provider and see what their unlock policy is and if you qualify.

I was working on my iPad 1 and it turned off and now it won't turn back on. It was 50% charged and even when I connect it to be charged it still won't turn on. Is there a reset button?

I was working on my iPad and it turned off suddenly and now it won't turn back on. It was at least 50% charged and when I tried to connect the charger it still will not come on. Is there a reset button?

Thank you so much! It worked, I was reading around and saw this has happened to a number of iPad users. Thank you for your prompt response, I was so worried I broke it or something.

My iPhone 5 was stolen and ever since has been showing offline in the 'find my iPhone app' this has been showing since the theft does this mean that they have failed to get into the phone and it has been switched off

My sons iPhone 5 was stolen out of his blazer pocket while in a games lesson, this was last period and on return to get changed find that someone from his class had stolen his phone from his zipped pocket. Straight away I went onto the find my iPhone on my phone and it has been showing offline since the phone was stolen. The phone had a password set on it and I have notified the police, school and also our carrier. The phone has been offline now for 32 hours, would this mean they have been unable to access the phone and switched it off? Is it possible for the phone to be jail broken while this password has been set. I am most angry that this has happened and the changing rooms are always locked while the lessons take place, so this is someone within my sons class that has stolen the phone. Being a Friday And last lesson the phone is long gone now but I'm hoping with the security measures we have put in place with the pass code etc.... That they won't be able to unlock the phone to use it. The phone was only 2 days old as my son had only just upgraded :(

All you may infer is the device hasn't been turned on where it can connect to Wi-Fi.
The phone may be jailbroken if there is no lock passcode to prevent access. However, the phone can be completely erased and restored as new. In this case you will have no ability to locate it or prevent it from being jailbroken.

My Iphone 3gs Os 4.3.5 switch off randomly and it wont switch on untill you plug it!!

Since the update for IOS 4 (it could be not related as well) and my iPhone 3gs is switching off randomly
- it may switch off while using any application (Mail, Camera, photos, facebook...etc)
- when you switch on it stays on apple logo until it crush down again,
- sometimes if you try to switch it on again, it give battery low even though the battery could be full
- the only way to switch it on again is to plug it into any power source (PC or wall)
- I'm using the latest version (4.3.5) since i have hope in every released update
if you need any details please ask for it

Honestly I replaced the phone battery with a battery from the local market (I don't even know if its original or not) but it cost me around 50$, and it worked perfectly since then.
so its either the battery is not compatible with IOS 4 or its simply dead!
best of luck with yours...

I have an iPhone 3GS that was running slow, I decided to recover it and it did. I used iTunes to download a restore, etc. But now the iPhone 3GS can't download any applications, It's running on a 3G firmware which is unsupported now. What do?

I don't think I need anymore information?

My iphone 3GS is stuck on the apple logo which keeps flashing? It won't turn on??

My iphone 3G

Put phone into DFU mode (turn off and hold home and power for 10 seconds, keep holding home until connect screen appears), then restore.

My ipod turned off and won't turn back on, help! Home button doesn't work and neither does Recboot!

Hello! So I've had my Generation 5 IPOD for nearly two years. Tonight after a shower I tried to charge my IPOD (thinking it had just died because it was short on battery anyway) but it didn't turn on. I would reboot it by pressing the power and home button but sad to say, my home button stopped working about a month ago. : ( After this, I tried connecting it to a charger, two computers AND I downloaded Recboot with the extensions for a PC/Windows, it still did not want to connect. I'm not sure what to do besides maybe taking it to a Apple Store and getting the home button fixed and try to reboot it manually as I always have in the past. Any advice? Right now it's black with no signs of connecting to any machines. If I can't get the home button fixed, could I wait until the battery drains for it to just get recharge? If so how long does it take for the IPOD battery to just die so I can do this? Granted it was always sorta dying before this happened (it was red.) so it shouldn't or wouldn't take too long right?
Please! : ( Any help would be appreciated. I live in a small town and the closet Apple store is about an hour away.

If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced

IOS is 5.1.1 and was jailbroken. the battery was messed up so i got a new one and put it in my self it worked but it keep shuting off by its self. how can i fix it? It started out with a white screen, i watched a youtube video to fix it. it worked. Then it started shuting off by its self. i tryed to restore it with itunes it keep giving me error codes. I dont know what to do. I need help. plzz help me.

http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=ITunes_Errors
I agree with John, if you are going through more than 2 error codes that are ALL different (say for example 1604 and 21, they should be back and forth depending on what you do to correct it), you're having serious hardware failure.

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