Iphone HELP HELP HELP HELP needed!!!!!!

My current Iphone 3G is currently having issues. The home button does not respond in sleep mode and the lock button doesnt respond either. I attempted to sync it to itunes for a reset, however, itunes doesnt even recognize the phone. All I can see is when someone calls ( I can answer calls) or when someone texts ( I can respond to that text and see lists of texts. The problem is once in the text list Im unable to get to the home screen since the home button doesnt work. Any help is greatly appreciated

Sounds like a hardware issue, but try using RecBoot to put it into recovery mode and restore it. If it does the same after that, you need to get it serviced.

  • Rogue App or Virus on iphone, help needed to delete

    Greetings,
    Recently my phone starting going haywire - I would click an app or try to text and it would appear that I pressed a different app or when I would type it would enter a bunch of other letters or numbers.  I discovered a new app on my phone that I did not download. I only get apps from iTunes and I did not jailbreak my phone. I have included a pic of the program called mfiTmitupxhw (bottom right of pic).  When I try to delete it, it says " Delete Icon ~ Are you sure you want to delete the bookmark "mfiTmitupxhw"?" I always cancel because I want the program or app deleted, not just the bookmark.  I am worried the program is running in the background.  I tried syncing with iTunes, but it was still there.  Can anyone help me with deleting this program?  The phone seems to be running okay now, no funky stuff happening, but I'm still worried what the heck this program is! Thanks!

    Okay, it took me a little bit but I finally see what you are both saying and see what probably happened. Still not sure what made my phone go haywire, but it seems to be resolved.  I'm hoping to get a new phone soon anyway and will leave this old one far, far away.

  • IPhone Help Needed

    I have a problem with my iphone, last weekend my phone crashed and said I needed to restore my phone using iTunes, however when I plugged it into my pc I was required to enter my passcode (I know my passcode number). However when I opened the slide on the screen to enter the pass code, all I can do is dial the emergency numbers, is there any way of restoring without entering the pass code.
    John

    When I plugged it into the pc, iTunes said I need to unlock my iPhone with my passcode, but my passcode part doesn't show up

  • Lost iPhone - help needed!!

    I have lost my iphone and did not have the "find my iphone" app on my phone.  Can I still go to icloud and use this app from there to find the phone or does the app have to be installed?

    The Find My app is what you use on another device to find the lost one.  What you need to have done with the first one is enable it in user settings.  If you didn't do that then it is too late to do that now.

    If you lost it in your immediate vicinity try Skype, Facetime, Text+ or other program with a notification sound and listen for it ringing.

  • [iPhone] Help Needed with 'crash' on Button action handling

    Hi, I've just started testing the water with the iPhone and decided the best way to learn would be to try to create a fairly simple application to switch between screens on a menu when a button is clicked. However I'm having problems handling my 'aButtonHasBeenClicked' action as the program crashes when it attempts to do so.
    I think my problem stems from how I set up my view controllers so before I start posting any code I have a question about how to use them correctly.
    In my Main Application window xib file, created in Interface Builder I have the application delegate object which is linked to a blank Window and an outlet to a class which when instantiated will inherit from UIViewController and load the view controller from a separate xib file (this is instead of having the actual view controller object in the same xib and connecting it up in interface builder)
    The separate xib file contains a view controller and a view with a UIButton whose 'Touch Up Inside' event is linked to an action in the view controller to handle the button click.
    Is this a suitable method to use for the view controller? i.e. instead of having a view controller in the same xib as the application delegate and connecting it to my class outlet in interface builder, should I be able to load the view controller from a separate xib file and still access it from the class outlet in the delegate file? If I should be able to do that, then I'll post more detailed code as it must be some other problem I'm having.
    Btw, what happens with my program is that everything is displayed fine in the simulator but the it hangs when the button is clicked without actually crashing.

    How did you get this working?
    The only way I got this to work, is to wire the actions to the View Class instead of the controller.
    This is not the way this is suppose to work

  • With new IOS, can't synch all my "top rated" music to iPhone--Help needed

    I've just updated my iPhone 3gs to the latest OS. But in synching my music, I only get a portion of my "Top Rated" and "recently added" music...any suggestions on how to get all of them?
    I've re-started and re-synched my computer and iPhone several times.
    Anybody with some wisdom here? Many thanks.

    The first thing I would do is try to use Image Capture on the Mac to pull all of the Photos off your old iPhone.  The Image Capture program is found in your Applications/Utilities folder.  After you have them on your computer, download the free program Pic Share It.  Install the free version of it on your iPad and then drag and drop the photos from your Mac to your iPad.  Here's a video showing you how it work.

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

    My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
    I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
    I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
    My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
    I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
    Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
    Gary

    1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
    2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
    3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
    anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • IPhone 3G 8GB Crashes when syncing with iTunes. URGENT HELP NEEDED.

    I have latest iTunes and OS on my iPhone 3G...
    Every time i plug my iPhone in it begins to sync and then iTunes will freeze and not respond..
    I have tried re installing iTunes.. I can't reset my iPhone as i can't create a backup..
    URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

    I don't have an iphone, but if it's anything like my click-wheel ipod, a reset doesn't delete anything.
    It just resets the ipod's operating system, kind of like a PC restart. Did you try this Sleep/Wake button thing mentioned here?

    Maybe it's a podcast of voice memo causing the problem like it did for this person

    That's all I got. You might have better luck on an iPhone forum. Everyone there would probably have one. Like I said, I don't.

  • HT1349 My iPhone is stolen and I need to get it back what can I do? Plz help

    Hi
    My iPhone is stolen and I need to locate it and I didnt download any app witch track my iPhone and I also didnt do the sitting of the e-mail on that iPhone
    I only have the iPhone box and I realy need to get it back please
    Please help me

    Sorry for your loss but, If you didn't setup Find My iPhone BEFORE you lost your iDevice then there is no way to track it.
    Change all the passwords for the accounts you were accessing on it and report the loss to your local police.
    Good luck.
