IPhone 3g broken ,Genuis Bar Questions.  ****LONG**** PLEASE HELP

Well i guess ill say the whole story. I bought my iPhone on August 6th and i had a plane to catch that day to Cali. So i synced it all up with my mac mini. My dad also got one and he went to Brazil (which is why im in Cali) While ive been here ive been syncing my iPhone with her windows computer to put apps on. Everything has been great until this week. Im calling it **** week. Ever since i updated to 2.0.2 its had no service most everywhere, apps and safari quit and when safari doesnt it runs extrememly slow and typing lag is worse then ever. I figured whatever maybe once i go back home it will start working again. Well thats not the case. Last night i was downloading apps and one of them got stuck when it was almost done installing. So synced it with my computer and it took it off.. well it still showed that it was installing. So i restarted my iPhone and it got stuck at the Apple logo(which is a common problem i know about the big thread also) so i restarted it and everytime it would go back to the Apple logo. I tried restoring it and everytime i plug it into my computer its makes my computer run extrememly slow and itunes wont come up. Then when i unplug it itunes pops up and everythings running normally. So after about 6 hours straight of trying to fix it, its now not turning on at all. Even when i plug it into a power outlet and computer. So basically i have a broken iPhone and its worthless. I have an appointment but im wondering if its even worth it.
Genuis bar questions:
1. Does the accoutn holder have to be present? Im on the account but not the account holder. My dad said to try.
2. Will they try and hold my iphone? I cant leave it there because i have to leave that day.
3. Would they just give me a new one? I would love that and not have to go through all this trouble
Please help im stuck withotu a phone in the worst possible time.

If there is a hardware problem with the iPhone they will replace it for you.
You may want to update and restore the iPhone.

    Take it to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs see what your options are for repair/replacement.  An out-of-warranty replacement is $149 in the US for the iPhone 4.

  • After ios 8 numbers doesnt have cell content bar...please help

    fter ios 8 numbers doesnt have cell content bar...please help

    It seems to be broken on some ipad 2 installations. I found a workaround. Click on a cell that has text in it. The bar then activates. You can then move to other cells and keep the bar. When you end your edit you are back to no bar unless you start with a text cell. Hope they fix this soon.

  • All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

    All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
    With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

    Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
    Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
    I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
    Cheers!

    Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
