Iphone 3g will not boot. help needed!!!

the phone was working and then i tried restoring it when my desktop lost power half way through. it now remains in the connect to itunes state even with trying the hold home and key lock operations. i have tried all the troubleshooting options from apples website with no success.
also i have tried restoring agian but the process is as follows;
1) itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, it needs to be restored before use.( after clicking buttons the restore process is started )
2) half way through itunes says it is restoring the software the phone shuts down into recovery mode.
3) itunes pops up a window saying "the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (14)."
i have been trying to fix this problem for like 23 hours straight as i have just bought the phone. assistance on this would be more than appreciated.

I have had this issue before, the iPhone will hang with the apple logo up indefinitely. I lost patience around 20 minutes. The way I got past this was to hold the power/home button at the same time until the phone powered off, and then retried, repeating around the 7 minute mark until it booted successfully. It has taken 3-4 tries at times, but has always started. This has happened about 3 times now since I upgraded the day it was released.
Also, when it does finally start, I've gotten the "iPhone is activated" popup, and had trouble using apps (closing immediately after splash screen) and certain songs. Seems like it's some sort of DRM credential issue. I downloaded a free app to the phone, and they all began working again, even once the app was deleted. However, if I end up with the boot process stalling and the whole iPhone is activated popup again, I'm back to square one. I also got the songs I couldn't play to play, but I am not sure what specifically it was that fixed that.
I am running 3.1 on a 3G, which I upgraded from the latest 2.x release.

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

HT4528 iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

If the iPhone doesn't charge when connected to the power adaptor and when connected to your computer after trying another USB cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option.

Ugh/ kernal panics / apple hardware test will not boot / help

so my first thought is to replace all my memory and I even have some coming via OWC -- but it seems silly just to replace memory on a hunch and randomly. So I run rember and get an all cler on all my memory. Can this really be soo? So I think - try the Apple Hardware Test.
I hold down c key as 'puter is booting and I get command line screen that says
"invalid memory ascess at %srr0:ae0c0108
%srr1: 0c01086F
bad bus info crc-16"
than it tells me to type in mac-boot to boot --but it will not boot - the next screen just says command line ok
what should I do next
this machine has been acting up for over 6 months and its driving me nuts -- I bought the memory as a "quick fix" but now I am starting to have my doubts. It would be cool to know before I decide to install it so I can return it for my $ if my hunch is wrong --
help! and thanks!

I can give you some general advice about buying memory:
The question then becomes what if memtest passes it all... I couldn't complete the cloning of about 220 GB of files from one drive to another with the original MacWarehouse chips in place, but could when they were removed.
I have had quite a bit of experience testing memory, most of it grey market stuff that I salvage from trash cans and such like place. I have found some memory that worked perfectly and never gave me any problems. I have found some memory that gave me kernel panics. I have found some memory that are somewheres in between: they seem fine at first, and then when you start to run lots of apps or copy large files that's when the problems shows up, and the problems are subtle -- once in a while a task would randomly crash, but restarting the task would make it OK, etc., etc.
I've had a PC133 stick that repeatedly tested and passed on memtest until the 4th pass, then an error showed. After the error showed, there were lots of errors.
For my own use, I do not use any memory that fails memtest at all, since I am swimming in memory anyway. I usually test them overnight. Certainly when buying new memory I expect them not to fail memtest when run overnight (usually about 6-7 passes).
I'll use memory that fail occasionally in client stations that are not function critical, but my experience has been once you get some error in a memory chip, it gets worse with time.
I want to avoid if possible having the machine down for hours at a time to run memtest in Single User mode as it's serving up genealogy databases on 4 different domains, as well as static pages on 8 other domains as well as being my every day work-a-Mac.
If you're serious about hosting those domains, I suggest you buy a Mac Mini for your clientstation and let the server be the server.
sending CL3 chips maybe the Apple Hardware Test is expecting to see CL2.5 which is what the 3 chips I have to do work are.
CL3-PC3200 chips can pinch hit for CL2.5-PC2700 chips in some limited circumstances, but they were sending you CL3-PC2700 chips in place of CL2.5-PC2700 chips. I smell herring.
or are they really not the chips the label says they are?
Chips are sometimes mislabeled, due to operator error.

Iphone 4 will not boot up, the apple logo does not go away

The phone will not boot up, the apple logo stays on and does not finish booting. All I did was delete an app, I went to reboot the phone becasue it was running slow and now it wont boot up at all. I've tried the hard reset and nothing

And then if that fails try this:
What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds.
Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.

Plan to Travel With an iPhone, I will NOT Use Data, Need HELP

So in a week I leave for a month long trip to Germany and Holland. I have an iPhone 4, and I only plan on bringing it to use it as a camera. I'm staying at a family members house so wifi is easy to come by. How should I set my phone so that I will not be pushed any data or will not recieve any sort of change in my bill.
From my understanding if i put it on airplane mode AND also turn off cellular data in the general>network>cellular data settings that I should be fine and even if someone trys to text or call it will not go through. I just want a confirmation so that nothing makes me want to cry when I come home.

IPhone 5 will not boot up past startup screen after attempted update to iOS 8. Not recognized by computer.

Like everyone else today, I attempted to make the move to iOS 8, using my Mac's iTunes. All was running smoothly, the progress bar was nearing the end when I received the error that "the iPhone software update server could not be contacted." With a now useless phone, I restarted it, hoping for the best as I could do nothing. I am now stuck with a phone which will turn on to the white startup screen and black Apple Logo, then instantly shut down, leaving me to repeat the process. If I hold down the home button, I can enter what seems to be "Recovery Mode," with a red iTunes Logo, as opposed to the usual blue. From here, all internet sources I have found suggest that I should restore the phone, but that's really where I hit the problem. When I plug the phone in, when in Recovery Mode, I simply receive the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted" error again, leaving the phone not recognized by iTunes. In non-recovery mode, the phone appears to simply turn off so fast that iTunes has no time to find it.
Any one with similar problems or solutions?

This what happened to my iPhone 5 after I updated to iOS 8.0;
The update process was done smootly without problems thru
Over the Air.
Now when I cold start/boot my iPhone 5, my apple logo appears as it was
in iOS 7, but after 30 seconds or so, my Apple Logo dissappears the
screen goes black for 5-6 seconds, but then viola! I am at the Log-On
screen... Then I start using my iPhone.
Just like Chris above, I have done 10 reboots, (complete shut down and
restart), its always the same...
Other than this, my iPhone works just fine. I will not re-install the iOS.
From my past experience, re-installing the iOS does not change
these minor differences...

Ibook will not boot HELP!!!!

Hi,
First the ibook booted then would come up with the kernel error: square box with "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button......
I then booted to single user mode and ran fsck -y which eventually came up with the all clear "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
I then restarted the system which booted to the blue screen with some quirky graphics towards the top. It will now not boot into single user mode, just black screen or multi-coloured stripy screen. When booting from the CD drive the sceen is just blue or black.
Has anyone any ideas what this could be

You are having kernel panics as shown in this Apple doc.#106227.
Do everything, in order, in Dr.Smokes Resolving Kernel Panics and don't leave out any steps.
Quote from Dr.Smoke "My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, following the instruction in the order specified, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein"

My WRT54G2 will Not Work HELP NEEDED !! PLease Help

Hey i Have a WRT54G2 and it has worked Flawlessly for about a Year... One Day i Wake u To No Connection coming From my Linksys ..... on the Wirless Connections Pop up there is a Message saying " Information Sent over this network might be visable to others" I Have Tried Everything and Anything to Figure Out or Fix the Problem But NOthing i Do Works ... I am Really Out of Options ,,,,, Someone PLeaseeeee HElllllp Meeeee !!!!1 Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

In this case try to change the power socket. Try to do 30/30/30 hard reset. The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set Router back to default values:
~~ With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
~~ Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
~~ Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds....
Then make the physical connectivity. Here are the steps for the physical connectivity for the router:
The router’s power adapter needs to be plugged to your router and into an available power outlet.
If using a wired connection, the first Ethernet cable needs to be plugged to the computer’s LAN port into any of the router’s blue numbered Ethernet ports.
The second Ethernet cable should be plugged to the modem’s Internet port and the other end into the router’s yellow Internet port.
Ensure that you have no firewall enabled that may prevent the router from being detected.
Then make the manual settings according to the ISP setup. Here is the link for setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service:
