My iPhone 3GS wont open Apps or e-mail and I cannot MMS pictures from my camera

My iPhone 3Gs has stopped opening my App Store application and iTunes application.  When I open the camera and try to MMS a picture it returns to the home page.  When I open my e-mail it will show me the inbox page but when I try to open a specific e-mail it takes me back to the home page.  I have tried to uninstall applications and re-install them.  I have also done a restore on my phone.  Still have the same problems.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Was your restore from backup or as new?  Restoring from backup can restore the same corrupt software over and over again.   Restore as new.

  • 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?

    Hi CalebAchid,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If applications on your iPhone are quitting after updating your software using iTunes, first restart or reset your phone:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    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.
    You can find the article with these steps here:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Reset iPhone settings

    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • HT1267 my iphone 3gs wont come out of recovery mode and wont restore

    I can't get my iphone out of recovery mode and it wont restore. What do I do?

    Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
    If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
    Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
    Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds.  Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button.  Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds.  Release the home button and you should be able to restore.

  • 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,

  • TS1702 i cant download new application on my Iphone everytime i open app store then searching for the application i want to download when i Tap the FREE sign it become half square and never downloaded.

    i cant download new application on my Iphone everytime i open app store then searching for the application i want to download when i Tap the FREE sign it become half square and never downloaded.

    Sometimes this happens because the app won't run on the iOS version of the device you are trying to install it to.  Go to the app store and make sure it will run on iOS 3.1.3 (many only run on iOS 4 or higher).

  • 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??
