My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
1. Connect your iPhone
2. Open iTunes
3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode

2 days ago i dropped my phone in water and immediately got it out and tried to dry it off.
I switched off the phone and left it in un cooked rice for 48 hours, i switched it on today and everything seems to be working fine.. apart from... the phone keeps switching itself off and re-booting every 5 minutes
i have since taken the back case off, dried it, put it back together and left it to dry out even more.
does anyone know what else i can do? or what the excate problem is that is causing it to switch off and re boot every couple of minutes?
The problem is that it got wet while it was under power, this most likely will have caused a short between parts of the circuitry that normally are separated. It may (if you stop using it while there is some moisture left inside it) revert to normal operation, frankly I doubt that very much.
Take it to Apple for diagnosis, you can avail yourself of a 'non warranty replacement' while you are there, if needed.

My iphone 4 has frozen. I can not slide to unlock nor shut the phone down. It flashes the apple logo from time to time but will not respond to the touch screen.

My iphone 4 has frozen while I held the button down to try and access voice command. Now it will not allow me to slide and unlock. Won't respond to the shut down button on top nor any touch screen commands. The apple logo appears from time to time but mostly it shows my wallpaper and the time. Can you help me out ?

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My iphone 3gs is frozen and reset does not work. What can I do?

Apple logo won't go away. I have tried a reset (holding both buttons and restarting the phone) several times. I don't get the screen to connect to itunes. Just keeps going to the apple logo and won't go past that.

Steve, have you tried just going through the unlock form here?
http://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
That's what the moderator in several older threads in Vodaphone's forum said was all that is necessary. Carriers often won't unlock for anyone but the original account holder, so if you don't have the details of the company's account, that might be the barrier in which case there will not be any way to get the iPad officially unlocked.
Good luck.

My iphone 3Gs os frozen and won't connect to iTunes either! I tried shutting it off then turning it on but i still get a message saying that my phone was not able to connect properly. HELP!!! i can't use my phone at all!!

My IPhone 4 has frozen and it is brand new

Have you synced it with the computer yet?

My Iphone 3gs has frozen-help me please ??

Hi there,
I'm new to the site;
And I'm in despair.My Iphone isn't jailbroken or anything like that. So this is how it begins;
I downloaded the alarm clock app on my Iphone 3gs on Tuesday evening, so I could set my alarm for the following morning, it downloaded fine. I woke up the following morning to the phone vibrating twice every 5 seconds or so and the phone was frozen on the passcode screen.
I have tried the home button/sleep button reset to no avail.
I have tried tried connecting it to itunes and doing the restore-i click the restore button but it only ends up updating which then fails due to the 3259 error code?!
I have tried doing this in the recovery mode but it still doesn't work.
I have tried searching endlessley on both google and youtube for hopeful fixes but I am beginning to loose hope?!
I have only had the Iphone two weeks as my cousin's contract expired, so I bought it off her.
If anyone could help me I would be very grateful,
Thankyou.

Either you need to update iTunes on your computer to the current version or you have firewall software that is not allowing iTunes to connect to the activation server.

My Iphone 5 has gone blank, I can not see anything. Restore with itunes has not worked either. Can someone please help?

Hi I recently upgraed to iOS 6.1 on my Iphone 5. After the upgrade, it was all good. Over the weekend I went Austria for Ski. While taking the photos, I simply locked the phone and kept it my pocket as I had to go. After sometime when I opened my phone, I could hardly see anything. I tried to unlock with pin and tried restarting with great difficulty. But nothing worked. Coming back home today, I have tried restore the software and still no luck. I have tried restore almost 5 to 6 times, but the screen is still blank. I dont know if what state it is in and I can not do anything to fix it. I am very annoyed with the support service as they can not be reached on Sunday evening.
I could manage to book a call tomorrow but I have lot of work over next few days at work. Can someone please help how to fix this issue now? Any suggestions will be much apperciated.
Thanks,
Srini

Hi
My iPad2 is stuck on iCloud Backup. When I click on OK, nothing happens. I tried to hard boot it by turning it of and still nothing happens. What can I do to fix this?

Reset it by holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Does anyone know how to fix my iphone as right now its an expensive paper weight,as all i can see is the screen that states plug into itunes, and when I do it states needs restoring, I try this and comes up with an error 6 ... please help as have no phone what so ever

Try this:
Error 6: All of the steps in this article apply to this issue. Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry.

My iphone 3gs' screen stopped responding to touch in a crucial places on my phone, about how much would it cost to replace it at the apple store?

My iPhone has fallen out of my pocket a million times and always been fine, no cracks just a few scraches on the back. This morning, it fell out and I assumed the usual had happened. However, I went to type on the open message and the screen wasn't responding on parts of the keyboard. So, I thought maybe it was just a small issue; I turned my phone off then back on. When it turned back on I couldn't even unlock it because the screen wasn't responding and the first number of my passcode was in an unresponsive spot. An elder friend of mine told me all I needed was to replace the screen and that he could do it, if I bought the screen. My question is, would it be cheaper to buy the screen and have my friend do it, or would Apple give me a better deal?
Note: I've had it for a year and four months. I do not know ANYTHING about the warrantty and such because my aunt takes care of it for me because I'm only seventeen.

Out of warranty replacement is $149

I clicked on the live broadcast link for BBC radio 4. Despite exiting the webpage, restarting the computer and shutting down and reopening, the braodcast continues. I cannot find a way to shut it off. I have tried reopening the BBC website, clicking on the live braodcast link and then closing it. I get 2 almost similtanteous broadcasts and when I click the close button only one switches off. Please help!

Most unusual.
Try a safe boot:

Open Activity Monitor and see if you can identify any application that may be the culprit. If so, click on it and then the "Quit Process' icon on the menu bar.
Ciao.
