IPhone 3 trouble starting.

My iPhone 3g is not starting, when i turn on it asks to connect with iTunes but is not able to connect with iTunes? any ideas?

1. Reboot methods. The first thing to do is try to reboot the iPhone, which you can do by holding the top button and the home button for about ten seconds. In some cases, the iPhone is actually still on, but a bug stops the screen from displaying anything, so you can reverse the problem by doing the reboot. If you still see nothing on the screen, try to plug the iPhone in and again try the reboot methods to see if you can get the screen to display.
2. Restoring the iPhone. If the iPhone shows up in iTunes, but it still doesn't seem to turn on, it's definitely a display problem. When rebooting fails, you can restore the iPhone from iTunes, and this should fix whatever bugs caused the original issue. Realize that you'll have to reload your music if you restore to another software version. To restore, plug the iPhone in, go into iTunes and click the iPhone's icon on the side of the select screen. Click on the restore button and agree to the prompt asking if you really want to restore the iPhone's software.
3. Recovery mode. You can put the iPhone into recovery mode if it has a charged battery by holding down the home button before connecting it to iTunes, then continuing to hold the button until iTunes recognizes that the iPhone's in recovery mode. Recovery mode is a bare-bones way of booting the iPhone that allows you to perform a restore when you're dealing with a serious issue such as the iPhone failing to turn on or display anything on its screen.

  • My iphone 4 started making a sound like "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does it at least once a day.  I've reset my phone, used icloud to restore, and it made the sound again upon startup.  Help!  This is so annoying.

    My iphone 4 started making a sound like a "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does this at least once a day.  It started about a month ago.  Anyone got any ideas?

    Mine does this also, seemingly randomly several times throughout the day.  I do not have this sound as any of my alerts and it does not seem to denote anything like a message, reminder, etc.  I do have "Trapster" on my phone and I went in and tweaked the settings there.  Will repost if that has any efect.

  • The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?

    The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer (pc)  which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?  I am in Australia.
    I have just noticed the other discussion points - mine is set to Australia. 
    Dear Apple - as the day that the week starts on can depend on country and religion - how about making it an option that the user can change????

    I believe the week view on the iPhone is handled by the Region settings in the phone. I am not aware of any other manner to change it, as you can with Outlook.

  • HT6154 My Iphone 4 started talking to me today and I can no longer get it to recognize my password.  Any suggestions?

    My IPhone 4 started talking while I was at work today, and I can no longer get it to recognize my password.  It freezes up and will not function properly, nor can I answer incoming calls.  I've reset the phone twice, but to no avail.  I currently have it hooked up to Itunes, but again, I can't get the phone to recognize the password.  Any suggestions?

    If you mean it speaks when you tap things on the screen, you have VoiceOver turned on and need to turn it off in settings.  To do this, follow these steps exactly:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

    This is a user forum and is not Apple.  I would definitely recommend that you stop using your iPhone and take it to be checked.

  • HT201263 My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone

    My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol,  then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same  state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.

    Hello Hester Emily,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process.  I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • My iphone suddenly started to react really slow, what should i do??

    So, in the last days, my 8 month old iPhone 4S started to react super slow! about 30 percent of the time. When I am at an appclication (Settings as an example) and want to get to the home screen by pressing the home button of course, and when i press the home button, I have to wait for several seconds... (3-10 seconds) And if i am writing an SMS, and when i press send, it doesnt send it for many seconds... and the iphone kind of stops completely for many seconds when i am doing what the phone is meant to do. This phone is not jailbroken of course. What should I do? Should I send it in to apple? Does the guarantee count when this happends? I do not have insurance. Everything i do reacts slow, even just unlocking the phone!!!
    HELP!!!

    Have you done the basics of restart,reset,restore?

  • I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...

    I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...
    iPhones are duty free and even with a $50 shipping fee it would only come to £185.75 including VAT at the current exchange rate.

    How much a month is the standard 24month contract with AT&amp;T or one of the other American providers that makes the handset cost $199?
    Here's the cheapest plans available from the big three:
    The plans start there and can run up to $230/mo (for AT&T).

  • Trouble starting up when cold

    I bought my power mac about 5 years ago. Last year I started having trouble starting up when the machine was cold. I put a heater on the unit for about 30 minutes in the morning and then it would start up ok. Through the summer and once the weather got warmer there was no problem.
    Now with the start of fall and cold nights, I seem to be having the same problem.
    I am concerned that the system drive has five years of usage and am thinking of swapping it out. Any other thoughts???

    Clone it weekly or twice a month.
    Rotate and replace recycle drives
    Backup your data even more - daily and weekly sets
    In 5 yrs drives have more than doubled in performance, and other than in last month the price per GB (and MB/sec) has dropped.
    SSDs are now pppular system boot drives, 10K drives have improved, 2TB $150-200 for media data and backup
    Clone your system twice and if it has trouble swap it out and test/zero the drive.
    Last year? you don't run on a bad tire or a system having trouble except to pull the drive/tire and put on spare.
    There are procedures for repairing a sytem and drives, and then you get into "Why" and troubleshooting causes if necessary.

  • Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

  • Trouble starting managed weblogic server on another machine in  acluster

    Hi,
              I was having trouble starting managed weblogic server on another machine in a cluster from the command prompt
              I have following setup:
              1) BEA weblogic is installed on 2 machines - local machine A with ip address 172.17.2.219 and another machine B with ip address 172.17.2.201
              2)node manager is running on both machines
              3)An admin server myserver on the local machine at port 7001
              4)In the admin tree under Machines a new machine is created 'Machine1' with Node manager Listen Address: 172.17.2.201
              5) The managed server 'BEAServerMan1 ' instance is created with listen Address 172.17.2.201 and port 7705. This Server is assigened to Machine1. The server also belongs to a cluster 'Cluster1' where the 172.17.2.201:7705 is part of the Cluster Address.
              I can start 'BEAServerMan1 from http://172.17.2.16:7001/console/
              But I am unable to start BEAServerMan1 from the console using the command :

  • My IPhone is asking me to type in my password for my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I cant set up ICloud without typing in a password to a Apple ID that does not exist, so do I have to remove everything from my IPhone and start over?

    Hello miamat2017
    You should see an option to skip that step and then sign out of it when looking in Settings. Check out the article below for more information.
