My Old/New Iphone wont work

My friend recently got a new IPhone3GS, because of that, he gave me his old IPhone3G. I immediately went to settings, reset, and I reset the whole Iphone, and all the data. It was taking a while, but what I didn't know was that it had a low battery. Around the half way mark of the format the battery died, I plugged it in, and I-Tunes wont recognize it. I try turning it on, and it brings up the Apple Logo, for about 15-30 seconds, and it flashes and turns off. I have been keeping it plugged in, so it is not a battery issue. How would I fix this?

When using the reset all data and settings option with the iPhone, the iPhone should be connected to a power source and remain connected until the process is complete. This is a secure erase.
Try placing the iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes.

hi, try all what these guys say, as they make sense (my bet is on a slug of kebab guys ).
you list bits you have tried but don't say if you have tried a new lead?
i'm not being tricky, as an electronics engineer of some 40+ years who repairs consuls, iPhones, iPads etc. i have some experience of what gets overlooked. Some of the cheap after market leads aren't the best quality,and some darn right lethal, likely to catch fire while your asleep. you might have bought of them.
i find it tends only genuine Apple leads lock in, but there might be fakes of them to. either way worth a go. perhaps se if your family or mates have one.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

Firefox is refusing to start. It says that my profile is missing, which it appears to be. Yet the way in which one goes about creating a new profile wont' work either. Anybody have a bloody clue what's going on and how to fix it?

AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in
this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you
only what to sync data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done
automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
I don't understand your question abou file types.
An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech
CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
Sincerely,
Michael

Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating
automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the
logic of how the updates take place? Is it a case in most AIR apps
that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel
(of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated
server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app
is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help
from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?
>
Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side
apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?
>
What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe
server rather than a Java or .NET server?

Thank you so much for your last comment!

My iphone wont work - computer text above the apple

My iphone wont work - when I charge it I get the apple sign but it has computer language above it. Its not recongised in itunes so I cannot reinstall the software.
Any ideas

Probably a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store and bring it in to be evaluated.

Hi there iv turned my old iphone on as my new one has gone to be repaired and i typed in the password to many times as i cant remember it and now its disabled and i have got a new laptop due to other one been broken and my iphone wont work with itunes

hi there can anyone help me. i have gone back to my iphone as my other is in repair and i tried the passcode to many times and its now disabled and says connect to itunes however it says online that you need to connect it to the laptop you synced your phone with last however i have a new laptop and iv installed itunes and my iphone wont connect so how do i enable it so i can use it again.

iCloud backups do not have seperate passwords, it is merely the password to the Apple ID.
If attempting to restore via iTunes on a computer and the system prompts for a passwod to restore, there are two possible options:
1) The user enabled backup encryption. If so, enter the password. There is no way to reset or remove this password.
2) The backup is corrupt. If the user never selected backup encryption and the backup is asking for a password, the backup is corrupt. Delete the backup and restore as new.
Relying on PhotoStream for storing all your pictures taken with the device is extremely unintelligent. Old pictures roll off of PhotoStream after 30 days or 1000 pictures, whichever occurs first.

Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message. After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen. I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results. I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone." Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

Hello rph30,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

New Itunes wont work!!! :-(

I dont know whats going on, when i opened itunes it said that there was a new update and i was all like ya!!!....Not any more!!! When i was downloading the quick times part there was some errar and it said i could debug. so i did and everthing was fine. When i went to open up itunes it would not open at all. It would just show the bizzy icon and then nother. I removed both itunes and quick times and then trying to reinstall but still nothing. No errar this time but sill wont work. Need help plzzz.

i'm getting the exact same thing on my computer and i don't like it, iTunes has only gotten more and more problems ever since v.4(the version i started with), it seems like they need to take MORE TIME on the updates before they put them out and instead of having us have to hunt for the fix to the problem we're having and fixing it ourselves they should make corrected updates. all i know is i'm growing more displeased with each update of iTunes. am i the only one that feels this way???

Hi. My iPhone4 won't turn on unless it is in the charger. But when its in the charger it will not charge. If I take out the charger my iphone wont work.

I just want my phone to work and I do not understand why it wont charge and why it wont work without the charger.

Hi tbolibruch,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone will not power on without the charger, please follow the steps below.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
