Iphone 3GS all of a sudden will not charge!

I'm hoping to possibly get an solution to the following problem. I haven't seen too many of people posting about this problem.
I've had my Iphone 32 gig 3gs for about 3 months. Everything has been working great. It has good battery life, syncs with itunes, charges with the OEM wall charger and charges on my iMac. I have the latest 3.1 firmware installed on it.
I usually plug the iphone into the charger when i got to sleep and when I wake up, its at 100% battery life. A couple days ago, I woke up and the battery life was at 52%. I thought it was odd. I tried to charge it again using a different wall outlet, a different usb cable, through my imac, using my belkin FM car adapter. No luck. Finially, the phone just ran out of batteries and now its a brick.
I tested the usb cable and wall charger on my old ipod nano and it worked perfectly. I tried to plug the phone into my imac and reboot the computer. I was able to put the phone into DFU mode. I could reinstall the firmware, but after that was done, the iphone didn't boot.
Now, its to the point where the the red battery light with the plug-in and lightning log doesn't even appear on the phone anymore when i plug the phone in.
I think it could be either 1 of 2 things. The logic board that allows charge to go to the battery got messed up, or it might be some software glitch. The iphone functioned normall from 52% down to 0%. It just refused to charge and now is out of juice.
Anyone out there have a similar issue? If so, did you end up finding a solution? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

The same problem here, the phone does not charge when connected to the wall or to the computer. I get this message on windows vista: "USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it..."
My phone works if it is connected to the USB port thougt...
I reinstalled Itunes, restarted Iphone application services on Windows, I use the original wire and charger.
My phone worked fine yesterday on the morning...

Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Look at the power adapter connection on the MBP and make certain that it is clean and not discolored.
Trya SMC reset:

PPC all of the sudden will not file share, what can I do?

I have a PPC G5 OSX 10.4.11 all of the sudden I went to connect to my MacBook Pro with file sharing and I can not. I can see the MacBook in my network area and when I hit connect it lets me put in my password and then I try to click on the folder to mount it and my finder freezes. I relaunch the finder but still get the spinning wheel of death over the network window. I have looked online and all the forums say I have to reinstall my OS but there has to be another way, can anyone help? I also try to open my "file share" option on my PPC but it will not do that either. Thanks in advance.

Hi skrilla, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

IMove all of a sudden will not open on Mac Pro

iMovie will not run on my MacPro. It has in the past. The window I get says that it requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme. What? It runs fine on my Mac Book Pro and even my old imac. Any ideas? I am stumped. I have not changed my graphics cards in my MacPro so why won't it run? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Having the same problem with it either not opening, freezing on opening, or opening and then half of the clips are missing, won't display, projects are missing, etc. Tried all of the fixes listed here to no avail. I've been searching all over the iMovie 08 forum and this problem is posted in several different threads. It appears to be a growing problem for users of 10.5.3. One post had you throw out a preference file, I tried that too but nothing in any of these posts is working. Any other ideas?

Hello Heysnoopy13,
It is impossible to use your iPod if it won't charge, so I would be concerened too. I found an article with steps to take when your iPod is not being recognized by the computer or not responding.
I recommend following the steps in the sections titled "Your iPod doesn't respond, won't turn on, or the display remains blank" and "iPod doesn't appear in iTunes, on the desktop, or in Windows Explorer" in the following article:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My iPhone 3GS version 4.3.5 will not sync with my ical.

I've never had this problem before, but I recently switched to Lion and now my calendar will not sync anymore. please help. I've already tried syning my phone without the calendar box checked, and then syncing again with the calendar I want to sync checked. And replacing the calendar on the phone with the calendar on my computer, but nothing is working.

Honestly I replaced the phone battery with a battery from the local market (I don't even know if its original or not) but it cost me around 50$, and it worked perfectly since then.
so its either the battery is not compatible with IOS 4 or its simply dead!
best of luck with yours...

Why all of the sudden will not print from email or phone - no problems before

I have had no problems with my new web enabled printer from day one. Infact I fell in love with it. I haven't printed anything on it for a few days now and all of the sudden it won't print. I am connected to the internet and it shows being online but nothing. Can't print emails or phono's from my phone. I have double checked everything and it won't work.

I forgot to mention - according to my emails and the notice I recieved it says the mail has been delivered to my printer and it is waiting to print.

IPhone 3GS with pictures in folder will not sync with iTunes

The problem I have is that when I attempt to connec my iphone to my HP Pavilian dv500 it causes my computer to shut down. I have itunes up and running but the instant I plug the phone in windows shuts down. The blue screen has a message but it closes to quickly for me to read it.
I have call tech suppot and the tech told me it has something to do with having pictures on my iphone. So I reset my computer with no pictures and it will sync up to itunes and I can then do what ever I want to. But if I take a photo with my iphone or move pictures over onto my iphone the next time I attempt to sync up to itunes my computer will shut down. And to be able to sync again I have to delete my photos.
HELP? What can be causeing the problem?
I spent over 6 hours on the phone with tech support only to find out that the tech was not sure what the problem could be and that I was using up my minutes and now have gone over my talk time and have added 100.00 bucks to my phone bill.
What could cause my computer to shut down when attempting to sync my iphone with photos on it?

Could be an issue with an outdated driver - Logitech webcams, Lexmark scanners, etc., cause this. See:

IPhone 5 running iOS 7 suddenly will not connect to the iTunes store app. Was working fine since the upgrade to iOS 7. Anyone else having the same problem?

I upgraded to iOS 7 the other day and everything worked fine. Today I noticed I can no longer open the iTunes app on my phone. I used it yesterday to download a few songs and today it gives me a white screen with menu tabs on the bottom that also do not open. I have tried every suggestion and read all the official apple support items and none of it works. Anyone else have this problem or have it fixed after you had the same problem?

I have exactly the same problem. I too have tried everything that's been suggested, but still not working. Don't really what to do next? I have an iPhone 4S.
