Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
However... If the Device has been Hacked / Modified... This will not necessarily work.

My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. All your preferences are reset, but your data and media aren’t deleted.

Could be a problem with the 30-pin connector port or the cable. Is there an Apple Store or Apple authorized support center nearby?

When starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names

when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.

Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

Iphone 3Gs will not sync to itunes

My iPhone 3Gs will not sync to my iTunes on my PC. I updated to the new iOS software 6.1.3 to see if that made a difference and it did not. Any help would be appreciated.

Tim, it was going through the motions but when it went to sync to songs it completed the process in less than 5 seconds. And I have over 1700 songs I was trying to sync. ooops !! I just figured it out right after I posted the above post. When on the "Summary" tab down at the bottom it was checked "only sync checked songs" . Once I unchecked it, it started syncing fine. SORRY ! :-)

HT201401 iphone 3gs will not come on and message 21 appears saying phone in recovery mode. no updating or anything else was done. phone was on table all day

iphone 3gs will not come on. tried to restore message 21 appears. phone will not come on or charge or do anything. phone has been sitting on table all day

If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost ALL of the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore it from your most recent backup. You follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Any data, on your phone, not backed up or in supported applications on your computer, is gone. iTunes content you can re-download for free.

I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak. After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak. After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help! I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.

TS1424 My account will not accept any payment information. It says there was a problem with a previous purchase ! Any idea what I can do????

iTunes account says. "Problem with precise purchase". Will not accept any payment method! Any help?????

it means you have a past balance due to apple
see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727?viewlocale=en_US
redeem a gift card in itunes store for more than the balance you owe. Then you can enter your cc info

Blackberry World will not accept any payment option

My PlayBook will not accept any payment options to purchase an app. I have purchased the same app on another PlayBook with no difficulty. I have wiped my PlayBook and re-loaded the software with no success. I have tried several different payment options.

Further info...
I wonder if this is related to the lack of a payment option in my User ID account. So I have tried to add a payment option to my Blackberry User ID (found in the Options > Device > Payment and Billing).
Option 1 doesn't work.
Selecting Vodafone UK as my paymnet option produces this error message: This feature has been disabled by your system administrator.
Option 3 doesn't work.
Choosing Paypal and logging in to my PaylPal account successfully, this creates Pre-approved payment entry in my PayPal account (I can see it as "approved" on the PayPal website), but unfortunately the phone doesn't see this transaction as approved and it fails with a transaction declined error.
This leaves Option 1.
Must I enter my credit card details?
The complete failure of all other attempts doesn't inspire much confidence in this whole Blackberry expedition, so I wonder if it is wise to enter my card details.

Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops. It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
Any advice gretly appreciated.
