Iphone 3g fail...............

i have a 3g and it wouldnt let me update my facebook status, so i rebooted the phone, now the apple logo pops up and then the **** thing shuts off.... ive tried resetting it with the power and home button, same result....... i cant restore it because it wont stay on long enough to come up in itunes........ any suggestions?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you make sure that the phone is fully charged before you connect it to your computer?
Does it charge using the adapter? Did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iphone has failed and I need to access my contacts.

My iPhone has failed (again) and I need to access my contacts. I backup/sync to ITunes regularly, but I can't find any means to access the data that I have backed up.
Any thoughts?
B.

The iphone is designed to be synced woth your computer regularly. Your contacts should reside on your computer. The iphone simply allows them to be portable.
Your contacts will be in whatever program you have been syncing.
The backup is only for restoring an iphone. Contacts are backed up to keep the recents and favorites when you restore your iphone.

Try restarting the AMDS > iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

I am using Iphone 3gs. Last week I updated my itunes to latest version, although I couldnt not update my iphone OS since the download fails saying error 9006. For last 2 days all my Iphone applications fail to open except the default ones. Any solutions?

Download a free app and try again, you can delete the free app afterward.

My iPhone 3GS is getting the same error. I've called Apple a bunch of times, and they won't get back to me. I'm searching through discussions to figure out a solution.

Hi Bobi1346,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
There's an article for troubleshooting that error.
iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Restart your computer.
Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
Learn more about updating OS X.
Learn more about updating Windows.
Restore using another USB cable.
Restore your device on another computer.
If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
Take care,
Nubz

IPhone 3GS failed to power on!!!

Gosh! my iPhone 3GS failed to power on today after upgrading to the latest version firmware~ I've tried to reboot and gave it a hard reset (Home Button+Sleep Button), but it's not working... I totally can't swith it on! Plug it into PC and also charger, still nothing happen after 30 mins... Anyone has this issue? I felt that iPhone 3GS is not running iOS 4 smoothly~ cause my calls drop often, usually 5 mins during a call... I saw many people are complaining about this drop call issue too~ Wonder when can Apple fix this~ Moreover! MR. Jobs took a medication leave today!!! How're we gonna expect a bug fix??

DFU Mode
Step 1: Launch iTunes.
Step 2: Plug your iPhone in your computer via the USB cable.
Step 3: Turn off your phone.
Step 4: Hold the Power and Home button together for exactly 10 seconds.
Step 5: After 10 seconds, release the Power button and keep holding the home button until iTunes tells you it has detected your iPhone.
Just as an FYI Steve Jobs does not actually do the "bug fixes" so I think you may be ok... there are a couple people still working at Apple.

PhoneGap iPhone build fails

Guys
I am trying to do a simple test build for a mobile App.
Android works but iOS iPhone App fails with Alert dialogue (attached).
OS X Lion 10.7.1
Dreamweaver CS5.5 v11.5 Build 5344
The default jQuery Mobile (PhoneGap) template was used with no changes.
Is there something magical I am missing?
regards
Andy

IPhone Restore Failed

I recently had a problem with my iPhone, so I took it in to Apple and they replaced it with a new phone. I brought the phone home and tried to restore it to my last back up. About a minute into the restoring process, a message pops up on my iPhone that says "There was a problem during restore." Then it tells me to restart the phone and try to restore it again. Then I get a message on the computer saying the phone was disconnected during the restore process.
I've tried this process 4 or 5 times now and I keep getting the same message. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to restore my phone?
Also, I saw a video on youtube that said you could fix this problem by opening the hosts file in finder and deleting the gs.apple lines. The only problem is when I opened the hosts file there were no gs.apple lines.

Exactly the same problem for me - except mine is the same phone, not a new phone.
I had to wipe my iPhone clean and so later tried to restore it, opting to restore from previous backup. During the restore of previous backup data I get the message on my iPhone "Restore Failed. There was a problem during restore. Please restart your iPhone and try restoring again."
No matter how many times I perform the restore, I get the same message. There is NO error number, and there is NO error in iTunes - only on the iPhone screen. I too have no gs.apple.com entries in the hosts file on my Mac.
I have restored the iPhone backup file itself from several different points in time from my TimeMachine backups, but all of them produce the same result.

Every iPhone update fails and send phone into recovery mode

I'm getting extremely frustrated, and I know I'm not the only one after searching Google, that every time an update is released for the iPhone mine fails and goes into recovery mode then works the second time. It has happened on every release of iPhone software since owning a 3G and then the 3GS. My 2G never had the problem. Is there a cause and solution to the problem?

I thought mine was sorted on the second attempt this time but it wasn't. It took 6 attempts!
To get it working finally I done the following:
Restarted the computer
Made sure iTunes was updated to version 9
Located the 3.1 install file and delete it - Located in users/yourusername/library/itunes/iphonesoftwareupdates on the mac - not sure on a pc
Reopen iTunes and complete the restore and install. It had to redownload the update but worked this time round.

The phone was jailbroken. That's what that error indicates. You can't get help here. You can't get help from Apple.
Try Google.

Updating my iphone just failed, right at the end. Now I can't get the picture showing me to plug in my iphone to itunes to disappear.
