Iphone 3 only blank light screen after fall on floor...say sound when connecting to Itunes
the Iphone is not broken, but it only shows a light blue/white screen. It gives a sound when connecting to Itunes. I have tried ti hardboot but no help. im now trying to recover trough Itunes but the screen is still light blue. it can be the graphic somehow??
What to do?
The Phone was falled out of my hands
The phone is CERTAINLY broken. It worked immediately before you dropped it, and stopped working right after. What makes you think that your dropping the phone didn't break it?
You have 3 choices:
You can bring your phone to Apple and pay for an out of warranty exchange ($149 in the US)
You can buy another phone
You can find a 3rd party repair shop in your area and see if they can ifx it.

My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen when i started to update it and when i connect it to itunes nothing happens. What do i do to fix it ?
Hold down the Home and Power button to shut off the iPhone. Keep it disconnected from the computer. Then, hold down the Home for 20 seconds. Connect it to the computer while continuing to hold down the Home button. Wait for iTunes to say your iPhone is in Recovery mode. Then, restore.

this is the message i get from itunes
Itunes could not connect to "ipod of ...." (so, it looks like it understands which ipod is trying to connect) because it is protected by a code. Prior to use ipod with itunes you need to digit the code (where?? )
please help!Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Also include manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try a restore
Then try DFU mode and restore.

IPhone is at a grey screen after flashing for a few minutes
My iPhone is at a grey screen after flashing at the same screen for a couple of minutes.
I can turn my screen on and off, phone functions and siri both work. The screen is just grey, no error messages or anything.
This happened after I was trying to connect to a wifi hotspot and I was typing something into a field when it froze, flashed for a few minutes, and stayed on a grey screen. This has been going on for about an hour and a half.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hi Brialex119,
If your iPhone is flashing with a grey screen, I would suggest resetting the device and resetting the network settings. If that does not resolve the issue, then you may need to back up to iCloud and restore it.

This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.

my new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.
If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

My iPhone 4 will not power on. When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery. Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen. Any suggestions?
Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!
If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

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.

Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
