IPhone thinks thought headphones were connected - now dead!

Two days ago my iPhone 4S would not work without headphones - when the headphones weren't plugged in it was like it thought they were (when I adjusted the volume it said "headphones") - I plugged the headphones in & out several times & it seemed to resolve the problem.
The phone has worked fine ever since, but I just picked it up now to use it & the screen was black like it was turned off, even though it was recently fully charged. It won't turn up & nothing is happening when I plug it in! Help!

try dowing a hard reset. holding down the home button and the power button at the same time.

My iphone 4 still thinks my headphones are connected

my iphone 4 still thinks my headphones are still connected, ive tried blowing it out and sucking on the jack nand taking it out and putting it back in many time and it still wont work, any ideas?

Have you tried shutting down the phone completely? Restarting it may clear some software setting to allow the headphone jack to realize there's nothing attached.

And...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to your Local Apple Store is the Next Step...

IPhone thinks that it is connected to an accessory

My iPhone currently will not charge as it believes its connected to an accessory, but isn't. I cannot plug it into my Bose soundock or the original charger to charge the battery. Anyone have information on how to correct this problem? Thanks for your time.

It seems that the pins may be bent. I can sometimes get a charge started if I adjust the phone just so when its connected. Is there a cheap/easy way to fix/replace the 28pin connector?

Favorites loaded from PC were fine, now dead links?

Hello, I am a fairly new Mac user and I have a problem.
All my Favorites that I transferred over from my PC were immediately changed to Safari Bookmarks when they were loaded onto my Mac several months ago. But, some time recently they have all become dead links with plain white folder icons instead of the Safari icon, and obviously they don't work. I don't know if this happened with a recent update to Safari, but if so, why? and what can I do to get them converted back to Safari Bookmarks? I have a very long list that I don't want to lose.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

If you are running TM, you can retrieve the original ones from there.
The folder is here:
~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks
where ~ is your home directory.

My 3g iPhone, Thinks my speakers are still attached?? :/

*I've bought the iPhone recently and till the first month it was working fine THEN...my SPEAKERS were not working, as in- if i turn on a song there wont be audio but my phone would think that there is...or if I get a call i would only hear my iPhone vibrate :s... I tried googling the problem and what i found was threads/questions about iphones thinking the headphones are still attached even though their not.*
*So it was a very weird error i thought it would go away with time but it didnt, so today i got fed up and decided to do something about it.... i always leave the "go to the apple store" as a last option... I saw a tutorial online that by applying windex (cleaning spray thingy) on a peace of ear stick and sticking it inside the iphone (where we place the headphones) it would clean it up and my iphone would be back to normal*
BUT....
it wasn't as a matter of fact, now my iphone says that the speakers are still attached, again i've tried googling it and i got the whole "stick in the speakers and stick them out reallll fast a couple of times -I tried that but it didnt work..) Now, i don't know if should be happier or sadder? i mean, sure its still a problem but atleast it's more common!
So im terribly sorry for the long message but i wanted to get everything out there (this is my first time to use these forums, i strongly hope i'm using it right? ).
Thankyou

hold the phone upside down, plug in our ear buds, unplug.
rinse and repeat with the plugging in and unplugging about 10-15 times.
this should fix it.

My videos uploaded on to iPhoto are gone! And I had deleted them from my iPhone thinking they were okay since they were in my library. How do I get them back?

I uploaded videos from my iphone to iphoto. iPhoto then asked me if I wanted to keep or delete videos on my iPhone. I said delete, thinking my videos were now safely uploaded on to iPhoto. I then ejected my iPhone and began uploading a video from my sister's iPhone on to iPhoto. I clicked import selected and iPhoto said it was finishing import. I gave it a minute and tried importing again. I got the same message. I assumed it was still importing my sister's photos to be selected so I restarted my computer, in order to start over. When my computer came back on all of the videos were gone. I tried repairing library and that didn't work. iPhoto keeps asking me to select a library and I can see my original library there but when I click import it won't do anything. I created a new library and tried repairing from there. It did not work.
What can I do? These videos were priceless.
Thank you in advance.

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. How many libraries are listed in the resulting window?

HT1212 for an iTouch 4 my young daughter thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes. Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?

My 7 year old daughter has an iPod Touch 4 and she used the wrong password too many times. She thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes. Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt? We are traveling this week so don't have access to the serial number or the computer that was used to originally set up her iTouch. I don't even know what operating system it's on and can only see the home screen.

Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

New iphone 6, never been dropped or water damage. suddenly does not charge with any chargers. I have the verified apple charger and it does not work, have tried 3 others and still doesnt work. phone is now dead. wont charge, whats wrong?

I have a new iphone 6 (64 Gb) that i have had for roughly 2 weeks. Last night i plugged in my charger that came in the box with the phone and plugged it into an outlet that is not used for anything else. My phone suddenly stopped charging and gave me the message that the accessory is not supported. The box of the charger seemed hot at the time. Thinking it was a faulty cord, i borrowed a friends charger today (also the original apple charger) and it would not charge and gave me the same message. I tried three more chargers and still no charge and i got the same message every single time. My phone is now dead and will not turn on. Can someone explain what is wrong? And if i am going to need a new phone and if warranty should cover it since it was not user caused damage

warranty will cover it. Did you try only by changing the power adapter or did you change both cable and power adapter?
if you did the latter, see this page: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
you'll be able to contact Apple Support from there.

I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I need to get it back on so I can face time with my family. The phone says 3G but it keeps saying on list mode. I signed on icloud and removed it from the account and nothing. Please help!

If you removed the device from your iCloud account rather than using the "Stop Lost Mode" option, then you will most certainly need to restore the iPhone, and that will require a computer running iTunes.

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on?

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on? I can see my macbook but I cant see the last location of my ipod touch. I lost it a few weeks ago and figured it would show up. But it has not and I need it again for my job. Please help.

There is nothing you can do now. There are apps available from the app store that would give you that information if installed before it was lost/stolen.
