I have an iphone3gs and it keeps randomly crashing on me. its fine when it's plugged in but otherwise its unpredictable. what can i do to fix it?

I got an iphone 3gs as a gift from another country and it randomly crashes (not a battery problem). it crashed before and after i did the update. It works fine as long as its plugged in but once i take it out theres a chance it'll crash again. How can i fix it?

Have you tried the basics from the manual?
Restart, reset, restore?

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • I just received my iPhoto book and 3 of the maps didn't print. When I checked my PDF they are there. What can I do?

    Hi I was so excited today to get my 100 page. Iphoto book. However on 3 of the map pages my maps have not printed. It's the first 3 in the book and the names of the countries are there just no pics of the maps. I checked my PDF and they where there. What can I do?

    Call the Apple Store and discuss the problem with them. The return policy is listed here, for your reference:

  • I have two ipod touches and two ipad2s. One of my ipod touches and ipad2s keep popping up an unkown error 0xE800000A when I try to connect it to intunes. What to do? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and updated the ipod touch on diff comp

    One of my ipod touches and ipad2 will not connect ti itunes. Unknown error keeps popping up 0xE800000A. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I have restored to original settings but it will not appear on my computer, but will other computer. What to do?

    Thanks for the help Ricky.
    I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
    I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
    I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

  • I keep trying to load an iphoto book and it keeps getting stuck on a page during the assembly. I am using iphoto 11. What can i do to get this book assembled

    Hi
    I have now tried to load this book twice. The first time it got stuck during the assembly process on page 6 of 66. The second time it got stuck on page 7 of 66. I've done a preview and it assembles fine. Any ideas would be awesome
    thanks

    I have now tried to load this book twice
    By load do you mean order?  It appears that there may be a damaged image on page 6 or 7. 
    Export all of the photos on those two pages to the desktop as Kind = Originals.  Open each with Preview and save as a new jpeg file.  Import lthose new files into iPhoto, add them to the book and use them to replace the existing photos in those two pages.  Now try ordering again.
    HOWEWVER, you might try this first: boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try to order from there.  Keep the pdf Preview files you've created to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.

    Firstly you can check to see how much warranty is left using this link.

    Secondly if the device has become disabled due to someone entering the wrong code this article should help.

  • I restored my Iohone after it synced and now all of my pictures are gone ! what can i do to fix this problem???

    I restored my Iphone after it synced , everything else is there but my pictures!
    what can i do to fix this ??

    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are likey gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

    I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
    I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
    A corrected hardware error has occurred.
    Reported by component: Processor Core
    Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
    Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
    Processor APIC ID: 3
    The details view of this entry contains further information.

    likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
    1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
    was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
    and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away

  • There is  Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

    There is  Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

    This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
    When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer.  Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
    If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance.  Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

  • I am trying to update Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and I keep getting "There was an error downloading this update. Please quite and try again later."  I have tried again and this keeps coming up?

    I am trying to update Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and I keep getting "There was an error downloading this update. Please quite and try again later."  I have tried again and this keeps coming up?

    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered this question a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.
