Iphone 2G is dead. I need help please!
Hello,
I have an Iphone 2nd Generation.
Yesterday it run out of battery and I plugged it on my Laptop to charge its battery. I saw that the iPhone didn't react, it didn't show up at my iTunes, and my Laptop didn't recognize it either. Then I saw a little pop up alert that says:
"Power surge on hub port: a USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port"
Well, I have 6 USB ports on my Dells, I plugged my Iphone on the 6 ports, and the same pop up appears. I also have a 2nd cable (Dock-USB), so I tried with the other cable and the iPhone stills without signals. Then I plugged my Ipod to test if it was something about my USB ports, BUT no, it isn't. All my other external Devices (Ipod, pendrive, external harddrive, everything works perfctly. Then i thought to charge its battery with the USB Power Adapter direct into the wall. And my iPhone still DEAD :'(
If I click the home buttom, or the power buttom, or both at the same time, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't show the little apple in the screen. It doesn't show if it is withou battery, it reamins black... NOTHING. DEAD, DEAD, DEAD. And my iPhone worked properly without problems until this issue, until yesterday
The only strange thing is after my iPhone died, only 2 times without doing nothing, I saw the little apple appear, then, got black again.
What could it be? any help?
Sounds to me like a hardware failure or damage to the dock connector or internals that's causing it to a) not charge, and b) draw too much power.
I'm assuming you have an original iPhone (metal back). The 2nd generation of the iPhone was the iPhone 3G.
Inspect the dock connector and try cleaning it with a dry toothbrush.
If that's the case, it's time to either take it to a 3rd party repair shop and find out if it's worth fixing or not. It may just be time for a new phone. That one is nearly 5 years old.

Iphone glitchy after repair. Need help Please.
So I cracked my screen at the gym over two months ago. WEIGHT fell on it, yeah pretty %^## dumb.
Saw it was 269.00 for repair, I was afraid.
My friend said he would do the repair for 120 with a year warranty, still to expensive.
I started watching DIY videos, and thought it was pretty easy.
I bought a screen from china, 55 $ and extra spare parts for 22 $ , all in US$.
Got it two weeks later, I ripped the proximity sensor cable, replaced the screen without speaker, proximity, camera. Phone and screen worked. Except it was glitching all the time.
My keyboard would press on the wrong letters most of the time, my ability to zoom was screwed up.
So I returned it, another 14US down, waiting for a refund.
Bought another one of Ebay, from US seller, for 50$, and placed an order for proximity and camera cable for 5 $USD.
Got it, fixed it, worked well, STILL gltichy, but less than before. This time the phone worked amazingly for two days, then it got back to its habits.
Already down MORE THAN 150USD$.
Now my question is, why is this happening, all digitizer and screens are the same, carriers do not matter, (they say the screen will only work on sprint, at&t, etc) I live in canada.
My broken was perfect no problems with the phone, except it was hard to see and type because of the million cracks.
I have already resetted the phone, but still same thing.
HELP, What should I do ?iDevices are not user servicable.
Opening of the device by anyone other than Apple (or an Apple Authorized Service Center) voids the warranty and all rights to support from the carrier and these user to user support forums.
Take the device to someone that is knowledgable and have them repair the device properly or replace it.
Apple does not sale parts for any iDevice. -

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!
Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.
Hi,
usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup -

Because My iphone is Locked on the United Kingdom
No it is not. iPhones, like all cell phones are not locked to countries. They are locked to carriers.
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it. Contact the carrier. -

i dont know how i got my photos to my ipod touch from my pc and now i wanna delete them but couldn't. so need help. please let me know.
To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iDevice to your PC.
Launch iTunes,
Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync. -

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
