Iphone turned off on its own now stuck in recovery mode

Hi,
This afternoon my iphone 3gs decided to turn it's self off and would not turn back on (it had plenty of charge) on getting it home and pluging the charger in it indicated it wanted to be connected to itunes. When connect to Itunes it sees an Iphone in recovery mode but when i try to restore the phone screen flashes white for a second and I get an error (1611). I've updated Itunes and my PC. It's tring to restore to OS 4.3.5. I've disabled my sercurity software and restarted the computer but still after numorous attempts the phone will not restore.
Anybody come across this before and can anyone help!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Well, as the article says, your phone may be broken. You can try a different computer or take it to the genius bar at an Apple store. They will be able to diagnose the problem.

pleaseeee help me

Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on. Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging. What should I do?

The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging. Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
Try a SMC reset:

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly what should I do

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly, sometimes turning itself back on automatically but sometimes staying off, i have tried a system restore but has no effect, what should I do?

Do you have a case on the iPhone? Did you accidentally drop it or damage it in anyway?
You could try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device, as shown here -> iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.

IMessage turns off on its own, can't be turned back on

I have an iphone 5, and starting this morning none of my texts or imessages would send, and I can't receive messages either. If i turn my phone off and back on, messages will send and receive like normal for about the first minute that it's on. After that if i go into settings -> messages, it appears that imessage has turned off on its own, and can't be turned back on. Basically I've had to restart my phone every time I want to send a message, and when I do restart it, messages finally pop up that had been sent to me hours ago. I have tried resetting my network settings, toggling the imessage on and off (it won't let me do that though), a hard reset, and restoring to factory settings. Nothing has worked and I'm not sure what else to try.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

Macbook turning off on its own

About a month ago, my macbook started turning off on its own. Then when i turned it back on it loaded and then turned off several more times before i turned on a stayed on. Then it didn't happen anymore, so i thought it was a fluke. Now it has started doing it again. The battery says it has a lot of power left so its not that. Has this happened to anyone else before? What should I do?

Also, in the meantime, when you turn it back on after a shutdown, hold the on button down until it chimes you hear a loud sound. Apparently, that limits the macbook to using one of its processors, and for me and some other people, it stops or reduces the shutdowns so you can use the notebook until you get it repaired. I had a new heat sink put in in October, and mine hasn't shut down by itself since then.

Why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead?

why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead? Its so annoying! Every day once my battery life span is at about 40%, my phone will start shutting down with the dead battery sign once it is down. Then after about 3 minutes i can turn it back on.

Tons of people have this problem with iPhone 4S and 5, whether they are on iOS 6 or 7. You can only hope that one day Apple realizes that this bug (software ? hardware ?) is a *real* pain. So far, they haven't paid attention.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

6th Gen Nano turns off on its own

My nano is turning off on its own after a few minutes of play. Any advice?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.
