IPhone 3G Help I am in desperate need now

Hiya All,
Yesterday I was having trouble not even being able to read or send text messages.
So I went to the help support/page on Apple I have completed each and everything they have suggested - the last thing I did was to hold down the sleep/wake button hold onto it even when the slide bar shows and continue to hold it down until the apple logo appeared. After it completed whatever it had too it came back on however I now have No Service and it says I can only make Emergency calls and the picture shows the USB port with an arrow pointing to a disk and iTunes????? I can't even get into my phone I have never had any problems before and I've had it since this model came out.
Can anyone help me please but in plain english as I'm not a computer whizz or linguist THANKS xxx lle

elle,

I bought an iphone from my friend. I restored the phone on itunes, but i can't use because i found out it was stolen. In order to use the phone, I need the Original owner's Apple password. I don't know the owner, obviously, so what can i do with the phone? Is there something Apple can do to allow me to use the phone?

No. The phone has Activation Lock enabled, which is a new antitheft feature in iOS 7. ONLY the rightful owner can use the phone or release the Activation Lock. So the best thing to do is to turn the stolen property in to the police.

You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

I just bought iphone 5 and my itunes says I need itunes 10.7 But when I look for upgrades it says I have the current version of itunes. HELP!

I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

Help me i am in desperate need of Help!!!

Please help as much as you can or as little i desperatly need help.

Oi mate there's no need to be nasty, i was asking why
and you just throw it in my face,Nobody is throwing anything in your face. You threw a stack trace at us and said Java is broken help me.
Well Java is not broken.
The Java program you are running is broken.
But we don't know what it is doing and where it is broken. Only the people with the source for the program (puzzlepirates) can help you.
It is not my fault if they won't help you or told you Java is broken.
and it seems that the java is not working or
something else is wrong on my computerAs a wild guess there is something wrong with the DNS on your machine or proxy or something like that. This is a guess based on the UnknownHostException. But again that is only a guess and the best guess one can make based on the information present.
The problem I think is that their applet tries to do something but doesn't account for connections like yours and is blowing up because of that.
Again only a guess and in the end really does nothing to solve your problem. If you want to solve this problem email the stack trace and perhaps my comments in this post about the UnknownHostException to puzzlepirates and ask them for help.
Nobody else can help you but them.

What happened to your phone that you are trying to restore to a backup that is encrypted? If you have your contacts in iCloud, you can just turn iCloud back on when you get the phone working, if it isn't, and that will bring your contacts back. You won't need to do a restore from an iCloud backup if you were not doing an iCloud backup anyway. If you log into www.icloud.com and look at contacts, what do you see there?

What is it doing when you try to facetime? also if you are using the same apple Id/email on each device, it wont work.

HT201441 i cant find a way to contact my iphone previous owner and its locked i need help

hi i cant find a way to contact my iphone previous owner and its locked i need help

There is nothing anyone can do for you.
You need the previous owners password to unlock the phone. If you can't get that, then your phone is useless.
Nobody, not even Apple, can unlock it for you.

HT4061 I AM ASKING THAT I TRIED TO UPDATE MY iPHONE 4 BUT NOT RESPONDING PLEASE I NEED MORE HELPING

I AM ASKING THAT I TRIED TO UPDATE MY iPHONE 4 BUT NOT RESPONDING PLEASE I NEED MORE HELPING

If you are rying to update an iPhone 4 that now has iOS 4.3, you must connect to a computer with iTunes, start iTunes and select the iPhone from the list of Devices on the left side of the window. Then in the main Summary window select Software Update. The process will take a rather long time, up to half an hour depending on the speed of your internet connection.
