IOS 6 on the iPhone 3GS destroyed my phone
Hello everyone,
So last night I decided to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS6 thinking there could be no harm, during the update my phone just turned itself off, it had over 10% battery and was plugged in charging so it could not have run out of battery. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug it into my laptop the Apple logo comes up for about 5 seconds then the screen flashes and goes off and this happens repeatedly.
I have a few other problems with my iPhone which make recovery a very hard thing to do. My sleep button doesn't work and the main button is on it's way out and only works some of the time, so I can't go into recovery mode.
I was just wondering if there is anything that can be done to get my pictures and videos off of my phone as there are quite a few there I would like to keep. I have already decided not to buy another apple product as I have read elsewhere that this has happened before and they charge you for their own **** up so any advice on how to retrieve my images and videos would help greatly.
Thank you, Rob.
Unless the device turns on then you won't be able to access the memory.

In iOS 5 on the iphone 3gs, how does one disable voice control, not voice dailing. I have never wanted or used voice control please help me disable it.
are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

Will IOS 5 allow the iphone 3gs/4/4s to sync with two computers ?
I have a question about the new IOS5 Will it allow to sync my Iphone to My desktop and to my Macbook without losing my info. I know that on IOS4 and below it will erase your content. But since I cloud will remove the pc from the normal use with the iphone, will it now be able to sync. I use my desktop as my main computer. But when i travel may need to sync my phone with my Macbook for new music that i buy from other places than Itunes. Putting my Entire library on my Macbook is not a option as i have over 1TB of music and videos from itunes over the years. i only have a 320gb hd in the mac so i pic and choose what i put on.
Everything that's known (or can be discussed) about iOS 5 is on the Apple web pages. If you don't see it there, you won't find out about it here. You'll have to wait until Wednesday when it's released.

When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???
when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???
As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS. Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware. -

The iphone 3GS is unable to activate after updating to iOS 6 i'm connecting it to iTunes but it says there is no SIM card which there is plz help
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.
