IPhone 3GS stopped working since upgrading to itunes 10.5

since upgrading my itunes i get these messages saying that
A: charging is not supported with this acessory
B: this acessory is not optimised for this acessory (when trying to use ipod or anything else)
ive read "how to fix this" but people think that its something wrong with the chords and dirty products.
that is not my case. ive tried three different apple chargers in all ports and sockets in the house. none of them are dirty, there are no pins out of place, and no water has gotten near anything. this is very annoying and i cant use my phone at all. moreover my warranty is up but apple did this to my phone with all their stupid updates. you think a company of tech people would know how to properly make software but no.
so can anybody help?
apple?are you going to do something? or just tell people its their fault like usual?
also now my phone is dead and wont charge so i cant really do much right now.

Hi,
just made a discovery i wanted to share here with everyone who have this problem with their 3GS iPhone.
Few days ago i'v tried to upgrade my iPhone to a version 5.0, sync it with my comp through iTunes.
It sucked all my datas in, to back it up, but errorr occurred when the phone was preparing for recovery mode.
Mobile died, display went black and no iTunes or computer (even other computer) no longer recognised my phone when plugged in. Like if the phone didn't exist.
I was searching for answers for hours and tried everything people suggested. Bought new charger. Left mobile charging all day. No sign, light, sound... nothing.
So i took it to an Apple store.
The assistant took the phone and left, to check it. After 5 minutes brought the same dead iphone back and said mobile is no longer under warranty and to repair it will cost me over 120£ or so. And that there is nothing he can do, but all my data are safe if i have back up on iTunes.(which i had).
Said he even tried TO CHARGE THE PHONE BY PLUGGING IT TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE!
But no help. Well that's what he thought!!
After about a 30 min or so....sitting in the coffee shop, i throw the dead phone on the table, and without any thought just pressed two buttons, as i did thousand times before. The home and power button on the top, held them maybe 5 seconds... and suddenly the phone woken up!!!!! Empty battery sign appeared on a screen, after few seconds gone again.
I repeated same proccess another 2 times, yes iphone was back!!!
At home i plugged it first into a socket to charge, pressed the buttons, battery appeared and after 10 min sign on a display asked to connected mobile to iTunes.
I did and, then just followed the instrutions appearing on iTunes. After 20-30minutes i had all my datas- photos, videos, calendar, notes, messages and contacts back in my iPhone, and even with some more extra features and improvements.
Love my phone again.
So my advice is, when nothing helps,
1. TAKE YR PHONE TO AN APPLE STORE, cause only they understand really what they can and cannot do safely!
AND IF THEY TRY :
2. TO CHARGE THE PHONE BY PLUGGING IT TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE! It my wake yr phone up.
Be patient and carefull.!
Good luck!!!

What file did it say was corrupt? What error number? What is showing on your phone right now? What version of iTunes? What kind of computer?

Printing from within iTunes has stopped working since my last iTunes update.

Printing from within iTunes has stopped working since my last iTunes update. Using Toshiba Satellite Pro Windows 7 and HP printer.

That's too bad.
If/when help is truly desired, try providing some specifics of what is occurring, such as any errors that may occur when attempting to print and what specifically is attempting to be printed.

IPhone 3GS Stopped Working... Won't Turn On !!!

Hi Guys
My iPhone 3GS was working fine for the last three months and all of a sudden stopped working this morning. While trying to open a web page on Safari it died. Unable to turn on or off. Screen is blank and if I try to turn it on the Apple symbol comes on for less than a minute and the screen goes blank again. Tried connecting to iTunes and no luck. My computer wont even recognise the iPhone.
I left it to charge on the mains charger for a few hours and still no luck. I have a lot of important information which I cant afford to loose. Unfortunately I did not backup the phone recently. Any ideas how I can get this problem resolved.
Regards

this happened to me about last weeek!and ive only had my iPhone for less than 2 months. i activated my iPhone 3GS on VoiceOver (to see what it was) and i obviously tapped something, my iPhone wasn't working for about 6 days until i had the courage to turn it on. The Apple logo came on and so did the lock screen (for about half a second) and then it went blank, i think i used 3 or 2 fingers (try both!) and tapped the screen either 2 or 3 times (try both again) to turn the screen back on. so do all these combinations!
use 3 fingers and tap 3 times
use 3 fingers and tap 2 times
use 2 fingers and tap 3 times
use 2 fingers and tap 2 times
if it does work use random fingers and tap a couple of times. but when you do these combinations, WAIT for each of them as it may take aover 5 seconds for the screen to turn on again. if nothing works I suggest you take it to an Apple store (if you have a warranty)
tell me if it helped!

TS2972 Home Sharing with ATV stopped working after upgrade to iTunes 11

After upgrading to iTunes 11, my two PCs are no longer visible to Apple TV or the iOS Remote App. I went through all the steps in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 without success. In additions, I tried:
Turning Home Sharing off, then on again on both PCs
Re-created Firewall rules for iTunes
Ran a factory reset on Apple TV
Disabled iPV6 on the network adapter, based on a blogger's fix for an iTunes 10 problem
Some other observations:
Home Sharing was working with Apple TV an hour before I ran the updates for iTunes 11 and Apple TV.
The Apple TV and iOS Remote App are working together, so the network settings must be correct.
The PCs in question are running Window 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
The two PCs can see eachother's iTunes.
It seems likely this is an iTunes 11 issue, but upgrading ATV2 at the same time clouds the diagnostics.
I was just about to order two more Apple TVs, but now have second thoughts now that my ATV2 is just a doorstop.
Any suggestions?

You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
It seems like this is more your issue:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.

My vga cable has stopped working since upgrading my ipad2 to ios8 - why?

I Use my ipad2 to give presentations via a projector or tv screen. When I updated to ios8 it stopped working. I get a message like"accessory not supported".
The cable and presentations etc still works fine on my iPhone 4s which is still running ios7, so it can't be the cable.
Just tried upgrading the ipad to ios 8.1.1 but it makes no difference.
anybody know a fix?

I just bought a dock connector to VGA cable so I could use my 3rd generation iPad with my Epson projector. My IPad shows up through my projector for a few seconds then I get that same message on my iPad that my cable is not supported by this iPad. Your post gave me some answers. it must be that latest big OS upgrade that caused that. Now Apple needs to fix that.

Iphone 3gs stopped working?

So recently, I've updated my iphone 3gs to ios 6.1.3. Today, it worked fine the whole entire day, but as I was using it, it shut down. It didn't run out of batteries, because when I was using it, it was at 43%. I tried plugging it into my wall adapter, & the red charging sign would come up, then the apple logo appears, but after a few seconds, it shuts off again. It goes though an endless loop, & eventually it would flash a dark screen, & a lightened dark screen, Is there a solution to this? My iphone is not jailbroken, btw.

Yeah usually it takes longer to charge via your computer. So that is normal. If your computer is not regonizing it then you need to put your iphone into DFU mode. Try this:
Plug your phone into your computer.
1. Hold down both sleep and the hombutton for 10 seconds
2. After 10 seconds release the sleep button BUT keep the home button pressed down for another 5 seconds.
You shouldnt see anything on the screen, but it should then pop up in your itunes.

IPod Shuffle stop working after upgrade to iTunes 7.02

I upgrade to iTunes 7.02 after it prompted me so many times. My Ipod shuffle has 512MB, somehow iTunes 7.02 format it as 34GB, yes, 34GB!! I wouldn't mind it so much if it still works, but it doesn't.
What I have tried so far, I uninstall 7.02 and put back 6.05, still it shows 34GB. It does recognize the Ipod shuffle and allows me to put songs in it, except they don't play.
I download the Ipod shuffle reset utility, but it doesn't recognize the IPod. I am really bumped on this one, nothing to listen to on my long commute.

Hey man... I know what, you were right! I did some more research and ended up looking for any answaers on the Digidesign site. I downloaded the latest version of CoreAudio for my plataform (ProTools TDM Mix Plus with OS X 10.3.9) which is CoreAudio 6.9 and it seems to have solved all of my problems! At least iTunes and QT are opening again and seem to be working good so far. PT also seems to be runing with no problems!! Thanks again for the hint!

Automator has stopped working since upgrade to snow leopard

I frequently use Automator to scale groups of images, but since upgrading to 10.6.8 it will no longer work. I can get files from folders, can copy and rename them, but scale does not work. I get the message "The action "Scale Images" was not supplied with the required data." I have tried a variety of image types to see if that was the problem, and tried with a single file that was re-scaled in a previous workflow. I always get the same error message.
Any ideas?

Reset SMC.

Iphone 3gs stops working during use,

and reboots after 3-4 min usage. IOS5 installed. Used to be good before, but I am not sure if this is a HW og SW issue.
Any similar trouble out there, with some advise on how to solve ?

Thanks for reply. I need to follow up with more details.
Phone is syncing nicely. Updates via WiFi and is seemingly working well with both Itunes (on the IMac in OS-x Lion). The trouble seems to be when the phone is used (annoiying - since this is a phone). Any phone call lasting more than 3-4 minutes will be broken, and phone enters into some status with Apple logo showing, and phone reboots. I simply can't figure it out. I have restored IOS perhaps 3 times.

Microphone has stopped working since upgrade

Microphone doesn't work since os upgrade. It will work, though, when my earphones are plugged in. Any ideas?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

My iPhone 3GS stopped working after one year one month, and is totally unresponsive.

I went to plug my phone into my stereo as I do daily and it just stopped working. Totally unresponsive.

Charge it for 30 minutes with a wall charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
BTW, it's a holiday in the US and UK, so amazingly enough, many users are out enjoying themselves, which is why you didn't get an instantaneous response. Even then expecting an answer in less than 30 minutes in an all volunteer forum is optimistic.

IPhone 4 Stopped Working since attempting to Install iOS 4.2

Hi, I have attempted to install iOS 4.2 tonight and it seems to have stopped my phone from working.. All i have on the screen is the iTunes icon and an image of the USB cable?
If i connect my iphone to my laptop it makes a beep (3 times) and then nothing happpens.
Before i downloaded and tried to install iOS 4.2 my iphone was working as i would expect it to on iTunes 10.
Can anyone please help me get my phone back and get me updated?
Thanks guys!
Steven

i would not be that hot on windows platform, but i wonder would a restart of your laptop help ?
did you manage to download the 4.2 file ?
if so was the phone connected when it was downloading ? its possible itunes has indeed downloaded the 4.2 file but the phone is stuck in recovey mode. if so then you can download tinyumbrella and when you run it there will be an option to kick out of recovery mode. might be worth a try.
NOTE
if you run tinyumbrella it may add the gs.apple.com entry to your hosts file, so
if you use tinyumbrella to boot iphone out of recovery, make sure to disable "edit host file" in advanced options or it'll re-write it each time you launch it and youll have same problem again....
one other thing, you say you " searched " for the gs.apple.com entry....did you actually open the hosts file in notepad and look ?
if possible can you post up a screenshot of your hosts file.
sorry for all the questions but it might give me some clues
ps
you could try this courtesy of Leonard.dk on another thread...
1. connect the dead phone to another pc with itunes turned on
2. follow the notifications on that itunes
3. restore the phone
4. disconnect the phone after the restoration without clicking any buttons of that itunes
5. connect the phone to my own pc
6. my own pc can recognize the phone and itunes will try to restore the backup of my phone
7. restore from the backup on my pc
8. sync everything (tick all the apps in itunes manually since there is no such button to select all) and reorganize all the apps
9. after ca. 25 min, the phone is back to the previous sw version

Optical Drive has stopped working since upgrading to ATI 9800

Due to hardware failure of my ATI Radeon 9600 I decided to upgrade to the 9800, which requires (in G5's) a four pin split power supply to be connected to the optical drive.
I have turned my computer on and successfully receive signal out to my monitors, but thus discovered I can't eject the disk tray!
I opened up the computer again and all the connection seem fine.....
Is anyone familiar with installing the 9800?
G5 (duel 2.0 Ghz) Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1GB RAM

Thanks for both your responses.
I am going to restore the system with the other video card and try to get things back to normal, but I did a few more troubleshoots.
The optical drive seems to be functioning. I started up my computer with the side panel opened and I moved the drive a few inches out in order to press the manual eject button. I was able to open the drive bay and close it by pressing the eject button on my keyboard. (That is the first time the keyboard worked.)
I closed the drive bay with an installer CD in it but the CD wouldn't read. I restarted holding the C key down to try and boot off the CD drive- nothing. So I guess the drive isn't working....but yet it seems to be powered????
Do you think this is really only a bad cable? When installing the new Video Card I had a very hard time detaching the 4 pin power supply from the optical drive. Could I have damaged something?
It wouldn't surprise me if now my optical drive was broken. I have had to replace everything on my computer since it reached three years old.
