Hello candymerna,
At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

My iPhone 3gs was charged completely and just randomly turned off today. The screen is blank and the phone does not respond to a charger or the computer. Is it broken or fixable?

Thanks! It worked

IPhone 3gs suddenly doesn't work as modem??

Hello
I suddenly can not get online on my MBP with Leopard via a bluetooth connection to my iPhone 3gs. There is connection between iPhone and computer and the iPhone works as it should, internet sharing is enabled on the phone but the computer says that there is no connection to the Internet. I can go online when I'm home and using airport / broadband.
Is there anyone who can help?

Bluetooth does not allow you to transfer content onto your iPhone, as that would allow you to put any sort of stuff on there that you want. It would confuse the typical user way too much.
Instead, you load authorized content onto the iPhone using iTunes, and only using iTunes. This makes the iPhone easier to understand, and easier to use.
If you could load any old content on there, then you would be like Windows, with lots of viruses and other horrible user experiences.
Your best bet is to do it the Apple way and use iTunes. You can buy anything you need at the App Store.

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

GetAppletContext().showDocument() doesn't work with javascript turned off

Is it true to say that
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(getDocumentBase(),newUrl)); doesn't work when Javascript is turned off ?
I have a JSP page where the following applet is embedded
import java.net.URL;
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
public class jreCheck extends Applet {
public void init() {
               try {
               String data = "javaVersion=" + URLEncoder.encode(System.getProperty("java.version"),"UTF-8");
               String newurl = "http://localhost:8080/test/jstest.jsp?"+ data;
               System.out.println("new url is : " + newurl);
               getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(getDocumentBase(),newurl));
               } catch(Exception ex) {
                         System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
Here is the JSP:

When javascript is on, I see The jre Version: 1.6.0_31
When javascript is turned off, I see The jre Version:
But I still see my url in the Java console as new url is : http://localhost:8080/test/jstest.jsp?javaVersion=1.6.0_31
This says that my browser isn't being refreshed with the following statement in the applet - getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(getDocumentBase(),newUrl));
Any thoughts please ?
Thanks!

Pass, but "the applet viewer or browser is free to ignore showDocument()". And why all that mucking around with the URL? The URL string you first created is all you need..

I have an IPhone 3gs on ios 5 and it randomly turns off

The IPhone randomly turns off as if it were dead but its's at 65%

Please please help:my iPhone 3GS 32gb on iOS 6.0.1keeps turning off unexpectedly even when charge is 100% and cannot power on unless connected to power...please help here

Please help here...the iPhone doesn't turn on unless connected to power

Take it in to an Apple Store if you can. The genius bar can very quickly test if it is just the battery showing its age or not. If it is the battery, you can get it replaced through Apple
http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
Depending on how it has been used though, it may not be the battery. My old iPhone 32GB 3Gs is still good for about 6-7 hours of continuous use (as an iPod touch these days) and it was bought new in 2009 shortly after the 3Gs became available at AT&T stores. So yours might be experiencing some hardware failure not the actual battery itself.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

I had a problem my iphone 4 mouthpiece doesn't work when i am calling other mobile phone

i had a problem my iphone 4 mouthpiece doesn't work, when i am calling other mobile phone they can't hear me but i can hear them. But when I am using the skype and viber to talk to other people they can hear me perfectly. and also when I record my voice it sounds good i can hear my voice.. i dont know what is wrong with my phone?

I get trying to unlock it and it finally accepted the 4 digit PIN number on my SIM Card, which it wasnt accepting before (there is also a super PIN number, which i dont know whats for). And now it says "no service". I am reseting the phone and sometimes it just says "no service" and other times the SIM Card is locked again and it doesn't accept the PIN number anymore...

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

Is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.
