My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

Iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter password

My iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter my password. the graphics on the phone seem to show the basic framework - ie boxes around the numbers etc.

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 wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton. How can I make my Iphone work????

My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton. How can I make my Iphone work???? I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on. It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it. IT just WONT charge? Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

Hello estebie67,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,
Matt M.

You have any other anti virus (I have kaspersky) you need to disable that as well

Iphone 3gs wont accept a charge.

My iphone 3gs wont accept a charge at all, not from its original ac adapter, usb or aftermarket ones.Once the phone goes flat and turns itself off it charges back up until it powers up then nothing again. and the small amount of charge it did get only lasts about 1 hour.
I cant do a back up and/or reboot coz the usb doesnt connect either... What do I do?

I forgot to mention, this phone is only 8 months old but it's out of warranty coz it was a new warranty replacement for another one that stopped working. I was told this one only got the warranty that was left from the other one??

my iphone 3gs wont activate after update

Typically activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

Iphone 3gs wont sync Ringtones

Hello, can someone please help me with this?
I just got the Iphone 3gs 2 days ago for my birthday. The man at the store told me that the ringtones on my old phone could be transferred to my Iphone through Itunes. When I look in my Itunes the first problem I had was not being able to put anything in the Ringtone section. My ringtones I have downloaded from the internet site called "Phonezoo". My old phone was much simpler (and now I'm debating my purchase of this Iphone) all I had to do was download it into itunes put my memory card in and transfer them to the card, put the card in my phone and tada done. The tunes are still in my Itunes but will not drop into my "Ringtones" section now.
The few that have, only two have transferred to my phone and the rest will not transfer to my phone. They are 30 sec clips or less. I do not understand why this is so difficult. I have gotten two to transfer over but they are 1 sec clips that I wanted to use for a text message tone, not as a ringer.
Also: Is it not possible to change the text message sound to a custom sound like you can ringtones? The two 1 second tones are in my ringer tones but not my message tones.
I am currently using my laptop which has Vista, I do have a desk top which has Windows xp- does it matter which one I use perhaps? (They both have my Itunes account on them.)

You have to create ringtones for the iphone. Google will find several free ways to do this.
"Is it not possible to change the text message sound to a custom sound like you can ringtones?"
It is not possible.
"I am currently using my laptop which has Vista, I do have a desk top which has Windows xp- does it matter which one I use perhaps? (They both have my Itunes account on them.)"
No, but pick one. The iphone will sync to one computer at a time. If you change computers, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Have a look at the manual:

Iphone 3gs wont activate with itunes...........

Why wont itunes activate my iphone 3gs it keeps saying no sim is installed????

Contact Orange to get the iPhone officially unlocked.
The 'professional unlock' by the previous owner is hacking
and had made unknown changes to the iPhone. Such modification
may prevent a legitimate unlock and may render the iPhone
inoperative and unrestoreable. The update has relocked the iPhone
to Orange.
Google may provide some direction, but it is just as likely that
your iPhone is on its was to becoming an brick.
Contact the previous owner and get your money back. Buy a
new iPhone from Apple or Apple authorized reseller at your location.

I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

Hi all,
iPhone 3s 16GB
iOS version: 6.1.3
ISP Bigpond Cable
I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
"Cannot Get Mail"
"The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
Any ideas?

The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

IPhone 3GS wont install apps!!

iPhone 3Gs Is on iOS 6.1 and every time I try to install/sync apps onto my friends phone it wont sync or install the apps, but when I download them from the store using data or wifi it will download and install them.
Anyone know why this is happening like it is? I mean it is really getting me annoyed that her phone is the only one doing this.

Are you trying to install it from your computer with your Apple id or on her computer and apple id?
