IPhone is no longer a phone.

My iPhone was working fine with only the normal app crashing and stuff like that. However, recently (after updating to 2.0.1) it began acting up during phone calls. You are able to hear the person on the other line, however, they are unable to hear me. The first time it happened I just credited it to lost reception because I was on a ferry. It has worked once after that and it also worked a couple times after I reset it before going back to silence. Now every call is like this. I've tried calling many numbers and have also called the phone from other lines. It takes place during speaker phone, using headphones, and using it normally.
I've tried resetting the phone many times, restored it many times, reset using airplane mode, deleted data, tried messing with the headphone jack, and restarting it.
I'm using an Acer Laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate and iTunes 7.7.

I recently upgraded to the new 3G from the original iPhone. When they were activating the phone all seemed fine and 10 minutes later I had the same problem as you. Lucky for me I was at a restaurant half a block away from the Apple Store. I took it back, they looked at it and gave me a new phone within 5 minutes. They said it was a internal software problem. If you are close to an Apple Store take it back. You do have a year warranty on the phone. The best thing about Apple is that they understand the phone has some bugs to work out. They didn't even question me.. I had to take my original iPhone back as well and the process was hassle free.
Hope this helps.

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

It sounds like your phone is in recovery mode, which means it needs to be restored through iTunes on your computer in order to get out of it.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Were you syncing over USB? If so, and you upgraded to Mavericks, you will have to switch your calendar to iCloud or another cloud-based option.
Syncing over USB is no longer an option in Mavericks.

I need to shut off Find My iPhone to restore it. The email associated with find my iphone is no longer in use and I cancelled that apple is. How do I change the Apple ID to my new one? My new one is already working everywhere else on my phone and iTune

Are you trying to change the Apple ID associated with your iCloud account? If so, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Iphone is no longer detected on itunes/computer it is synched with.

One of my Iphones is no longer detected by the itunes/computer that it is synched with. The computer/itunes does detect other devices. The iphone in question is able to be detected on another computer/itunes.
I updated software oof iphone on another computer. I updated itunes on the computer that does not detect the phone. I rebooted both. I tried software conflict.
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve? I have all of my contacts, apps, photos, music etc on that computer.
When I updated phone software on another computer to see if that was the problem it wiped out all music,apps, photos etc on the phone. I have thee devices with one apple id and they are synched to different computers.

You should try another USB cable, charging and sending data through the cable is not completely the same, sending data is using other contacts inside the plug or docking connector.

Hello there philp_69,
If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.

TS1363 Our two iphones are no longer recognized on iTunes

Our two iphones are suddenly not being recognized on iTunes. In fact, when we go to "file", then "devices" and try to click on something under devices, it won't let us, i.e. nothing happens. Tried deleting iTunes and uploading again. Still didn't work. BEFORE we tried deleting itunes and downloading it again, I tried to go on itunes to sync my new upgraded iPhone 5c. No luck. Back before I upgraded from my 4s to the 5C (in January 2014) I had noticed that all my regular phone contacts had disappeared to be replaced by some of my facebook friends. It continued to still be that way up until yesterday, when I tried to sync my new phone to itunes. I ended up spending a VERY long time on live CHAT with Apple support. She suggested (after helping me for a LONG time) that I delete itunes from my desktop and download it again. She led me thru the steps to delete and download again. We knew that in the course of this help, we would lose our chat. After re-downloading itunes, I still couldn't find my iphone on itunes. Last night I requested a call from apple support. They called promptly and to make a long story short, he had me go thru the process of deleting my phone and then reloading my phone to the most recent sync, which was in January fo 2014, thinking that all my original phone contacts would be there, and everything would be fine. At the time, itunes appeared to be working (with this young man's help). I had one more backup listed on my itunes account from July 2013, so he said to try syncing my phone to THAT backup date. It didn't bring up an error code, but said it had "failed."
So off and on all day today, I have been plugging my phone in and trying to find it on iTunes. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Very frustrating. I am wondering if going in person to an Apple store would help me more, and if THEY would be able to get my old contacts back. BUT that still doesn't help with not being able to find our phones on itunes.
Any ideas?

I just bought the new iPhone 4, having previously used the iPhone 3G. The old 3G no longer has phone capabilities (of course), however, I was wondering if I could continue to sync it on iTunes to keep the applications and podcasts up to date? Will iTunes preclue me from syncing two iPhones? Will iTunes not reconginze my new iPhone 4 if I sync the old 3G? I want to make sure that I don't mess up the new iPhone 4 before trying this.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm syncing two iPhone 4 units, an iPad, and an old iPhone 3G used as an iPod. All can be synced at the same time. You might need/want to rename the 3G if you kept the same name for your iPhone 4.

Iphone 5 no longer connects to my PC after last update OS8.1

Firstly I am not a "tech" expert and really do not understand the whole lingo etc - in fact I find it VERY overwhelming whenever I have an issue that needs to be solved with all the massive volume of technical jargon thrown around and end up being totally lost and frustrated - so if there is anyone who can help that will be just wonderful.
I have an I-phone 5 and a Toshiba PC which runs Windows 7 - easy so far.
I use my phone for a small business (otherwise I wouldn't have one at all) and when I go to do quotes I take photos and then downloaded them to my PC for future reference (I have ALWAYS been able to do this by simply plugging my phone into a free USB port (always use the same one for all devices) and away we go all works great.
HOWEVER, since the last 2 updates my Iphone will no longer connect to my PC. After the first one was botched (the one that was recalled quickly) and OS8.1 (which I know have) - whenever I do this exact same procedure my Iphone does no longer appear.
How do I make it work again - the simple, easy, straightforward way that it used to (I guess that since the Apple thing has now been "improved" and made "better and easier" for me it will be impossible to do?

My iPhone will no longer pick-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home. the wi-fi settings are ok there,

My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home. The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now. The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks. I've done a reset with no results. Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?

First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion. I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network. Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router. So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system. I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network. I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine. Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result. It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem. The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank. My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router? I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot. Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now. Have a great day.

Iphone 3G no longer supported??

Hello
The Iphone 3G is no longer supported by Apple?? since the latest os update the iphone 3G no longer supports...anyone from Apple an answer??

I can understand no more updates for 3G cause of its hardware. What I however am having troubles with is that since IOS 4.2.1. the ipod function in my Volvo is rendered useless. See this topic "http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2657752&start=90&tstart =0"
Now I'm not interested in any new gadgets like gamecenter, wireless printing or whatever. I bought my Iphone as a replacement of my Ipod so I'd have phone and Ipod in one. Since IOS 4.3 it is working again. Like I said, new functions don't interest me, I just want the basic ones to work. How hard can it be to issue a 4.2.2 update for 3G users with this fix. It worked on 4.1 it works on 4.3 but it doesn't on 4.2.1.
I'm not intrested in a iphone 4 since my old 3G does the job just fine and hence I see no reason what so ever to spend 700plus Euro's to replace something is ok. Just fix what has obviously been broken by apple.

IPhone 3G no longer appears in My Computer...can't get to my pictures!

I've been searching everywhere for a solution to this problem. No one seems to be sure what to do. I've poured over the Apple Forums, Microsoft Fix It, etc. No good. Hopefully someone else has figured this out and can help me.
My iPhone 3G no longer appears in the My Computer area. When I connect, my photos are no longer downloaded to my Windows Live Photo Gallery. Everything is fine from the iTunes side...it syncs, music is fine, apps are fine. It charges just fine.
But I can't get the computer to recognize the camera side of things. In my Device Manager, there is an exclamation mark next to the iPhone under Portable Devices. I've tried uninstalling that and reconnecting.
I've tried working with the Apple Mobile Device Driver under Services, making sure it was started, restarted and set to automatic.
I found a guy here on the Apple forums who wrote:
1. Copy 4ea12.msi from C:\windows\installer\ to the desktop.
2. Right click on 4ea12.msi and select uninstall.
This will uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
Follow the instructions and close out.
3. Right click on 4ea12.msi on your desktop and select install.
This will reinstall Apple Mobile Device support.
Well, 4ea12.msi isn't even on my computer. I don't know what that means, but it's nowhere. I looked.
So, if anyone has a fresh approach that could help me, I'd be eternally grateful.
Peace

IPhone 4S no longer seeing 5 GHz Wifi signals with iOS 7

iPhone 4S no longer sees 5 GHz wifi band.
With iOS 6 the phone saw and connected to the 5 GHz band.
I just updated to iOS 7 and the band is not even shown.
The 2.4 GHz band was always seen, and now it's the only one.
Restarting did not ameliorate the problem.
Solutions?

Try resetting network settings. General > Reset > Network Settings You will have to put your wifi password back in.
