Iphone 3 keeps rebooting/resetting itself

Is the phone dead or any ideas out there for me?

When connected to iTunes try "Reset" to factory defaults.
It doesn't help others to use incorrect iPhone terminology.  What you're referring to is a "Restore" not a "Reset" (also not clear if you restored with a backup or as a new iPhone).

  • My Iphone 4 recently reset itself to factory mode and I lost everything. I managed to get most of my music back but I was wondering if there was a way to credit money that I spent on itunes cards for things in the games I purchased?

    My iphone 4 recently reset itself to factory settings and I lost everything...contacts, pictures, itunes, apps. I managed ON MY OWN thanks to NO HELP from apple to figure out how to restore most of my apps and some of my ITUNES music. However I lost all of my games standings and that was a lot of money that I spent on upgrading games and such and quite a few of my songs. Is there away to research what i purchased and maybe get credited or something?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and let it charge for a couple of hours. The try to backup the iPod
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    Then
    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore an iPod, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    or
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    To try to make your iPod work see the following. It may end up erasing the iPod:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • Iphone keeps rebooting

    I have an iPhone 4s and it keeps rebooting.  I get the Apple logo, then the circle timer but it just stops and then repeats. 

    Hello jfrag13,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  It is definitely inconvenient and frustrating when you are not able to access your iPhone.
    I recommend following these steps for the issue you described:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • IPhone Mail Port resets itself

    To connect to my mailbox I had to change the port number on my iPhone. Now, for no reason that I can tell, iPhone keeps resetting the port to the original factory number. I do I lock the revised port number?

    Try plugging it into your computer, back everything up in iTunes. Then try restoring it to factory settings, set it up as if it were a new device, try testing the issues, if it works after that restore it from the back up your created earlier. If you are still having problems with it, call into AppleCare they will be able to help you out.

  • HT201401 iphone keeps rebooting every second

    My phone keeps rebooting itself, and the percentage in the top right corner
    will not move. It stays 100% regardless of the battery life I used.

    How can I get my phone to stop rebooting?
    Why doesn't my battery life percentage go down?
    I restored my phone a couple times and that didn't help.

  • IPhone keeps rebooting, unusable

    The iPhone 4S keeps rebooting and is unusable.  The reboot begins, and then restarts before the phone fully reboots.  I have tried to connect to my computer to backup and perform a full restore but the phone disconnects from iTunes each time the reboot starts.

    Try to put it in recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • IPhone Keeps Rebooting. HELP!

    Hi all,
    For some reason my iPhone has decided to **** itself and go haywire. Its a never ending cycle of it rebooting from the apple logo screen.
    I'm not 100% but I think the cause is when I had been updating iTunes and transferring music to my iPhone at the same time.
    I have tried to restore it but this is how it goes down:
    1) Connected iPhone With PC and hold down on the iPhone 'home' button until iTunes logo appears.
    2) iTunes does not automatically start-up on PC once iPhone device is pluged in. Manually open iTunes
    3) iTunes message pops up advising:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    4) Clicked ok within message box. Which now brings me to my iPhone under the summary tab within iTunes.
    5) Clicked "Restore". (Only option)
    6) Message pops up with the following:
    "Extracting software" then "Pearpering iPhone restore...", "Waiting for iPhone..."
    7) Error message: "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)."
    8) Click 'ok'
    9) Back to point 3 once again.
    If you had this problem before or know how to fix it, HELP!
    - AndrewPorko

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off of the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • Iphone wont stop resetting itself

    for some reason my iphone 4 wont stop trying to reset itself..tried turning off, nothing. tried pressing both buttons for 10 seconds, nothing. plugged into mains, after a while tells you to connect to itunes, so I connect then it just tries to reset itself again...help.

    Are you able to restore from backup?
    If you are and the problem continue, restore as new.
    If neither of those work, you have a hardware issue and will need to either visit a Genius bar or send it in for service.    

  • My iphone keeps rebooting and going to recovery mode. HELP

    Okay, so it all started about 2 months ago when I let my iphone die. I put it on charge, then went to sleep. I woke up and found out my iphone wouldn't stop rebooting and going to recovery. I have dug so deep into forums just to find a solution but nothing has helped. Most of all I think this is a hardware issue.
    I have done the DFU restore, I have restored (around 20 times.), but my iphone has a broken power button so its hard to get around some things.
    It will show the apple logo, then the "connect to itunes".
    Please if you have a bite of information or you have had this problem, PLEASE help me out!
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are restoring from a backup that could be a reason why your issue is still there
    Restore your iphone using itunes one last time, this time setup as new.
    Try it for a couple of hours or the amount of time it usually takes your iphone to reboot and go Into recovery mode.
    If issue stops then is something in that backup
    If it continues or if you have already set up as new in those restores you have done before
    call apple so they could look more Into It (1800 692-7753)
