Problem with the original iphone.

i have the original iphone for the past year and half.
i've dropped it many times, but it didn't harm the iphone.
the other day, i dropped it, and it died. it didn't respond to nothing.
until i plugged it to the charger, and to the computer.
than when i pressed the sleep/wake button then it lights up and you can see the apple logo.
but it shuts down again after a minute.
i tried to restart it while it was plugged, so it restarts but goes back to- lighting up and showing the logo.
how can i save my iphone?

Either the battery is not charging properly, or your iPhone is knackered as a result of you dropping it repeatedly. Without seeing it, I would assume it is the latter that has caused the fault. I suggest you take it to an Apple Store or to your network operator and seek some advise as to whether it is repairable or not.

3g Crashes --- NEVER had a problem with 2G (original iPhone...)

Using iPhone 3G 2.0.2 for 1 day after having the original since it launched. NEVER had a significant problem with 2G, but ALREADY my 3G has frozen several times, most recently this pm and I had to do the "Mr.Buzz" MULTIPLE reset x 15-20minutes to get back to "normal"(?hopefully) without having to do a lengthy/tedious system restore...
Apple...FIX THIS---it's time to quit locking threads and ignoring problems, and instead FIX THEM---if it's an app doing it, then there needs to be more constraints on programming---this is an open/closed platform a la XBox 360/PS3 and there simply shouldn't be this many problems...

If the phone will not power on try these three things:
Connect it to your phone charger
Connect it to your computer and open up iTunes
Perform a hard reset (Hold down the sleep/wake (top) button at the same time as the home (circle) button for 45 seconds. When the apple appears on the screen let go of both buttons.

Help ... problem with the sync iPhone with iTunes

I have a upgrade my iPhone 3G from 3.1.2 to iOS 4.1 and itunes to 10 and from that moment when I sync my iphone starts with the backup of the iPhone, then sync contacts, calendar etc. .... when the step 4-5 of 6 tracks from iTunes or sync gives me this error "can not synchronize iphone.impossibile find the required disk" but instead is connected because if I go to iTunes> Devices> iPhone finds me and makes me get into the application settings, music, photos etc. .... thing may be? reading around some say is itunes .... how do I fix this??I apologize if I misspelled but I'm Italian)

Do you mean that you get an error during the backup step during the sync? Temporarily, you can click on the "x" next to the backup message to skip the backup, but you will want to figure out why the backup is failing before you lose valuable data.
The most common cause of a failure during the backup step is a corrupt backup from a previous sync. This can happen if a sync is interrupted, and occasionnally for no apparent reason. If this is the problem the solution is to delete the backup in iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab. If this does not resolve your problem please let us know what kind of computer and operating system you have.

Traveling Internationally with the original iPhone

I have friend who is about to embark on a international trip to Vietnam. She is bringing her iPhone with her, but does NOT want to have to pay the expensive roaming charges while there. So we're looking for a way to turn off the cell phone part so it won't/can't connect to whatever wireless network may be there, but still use it with Wi-Fi for the iPhone apps and for getting email where Wi-Fi is available.
I'm guessing that turning OFF Enable Edge and turning OFF Data Roaming should do the trick, but want to be sure before I give her bad information.
Any ideas?

There is no option to turn off EDGE or GPRS access with the first generation iPhone. There is an option to turn off 3G network access with the iPhone 3G which doesn't turn off EDGE or GPRS access with the iPhone. Data Roaming is off by default with the iPhone.
If she is running firmware version 2.0 or later on her iPhone, she can enable Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access. This will disable the cell and data access via the cellular network so no calls can be placed or received and the same for SMS, this disables data access via a cellular network, and disables bluetooth access. Wi-Fi access will be available turning her iPhone into an iPod Touch.

My problems with the 3G iPhone (post yours)

Missing features:
Copy & Paste (I read that it's not high up on the priority list for the iPhone developers - huh?)
Ability to take video clips (even my old, free, crappy phone from Verizon does that)
Remote Desktop App. (what good is a VPN without it? I guess for accessing corp. e-mail)
SSH client (no brainer for any admin)
Rotating the screen doesn't work in all applications (it would be nice if you could set the default view for all apps including the home screen)
Flash support in Safari (I hear it's coming but when?)
Turn by turn navigation (I hope we get this soon - it's a waste of a GPS at the moment)
No "Week" view in the calendar (I guess the list view will do but it just seems inconsistent that there is the Day and the Month view but no Week view)
No way to display e-mails on the home screen (in a similar way to the SMS messages)
No way to change the new e-mail ring or configure custom rings for different accounts (My Blackberry 8700 does it)
No IPSEC VPN support for older Cisco platforms (ie PIX501 and PIX506 - Steve J. said they listened to the users on this one - I guess with only one ear though)
Other issues:
Calls get lost. I go to pick up. Looking at the screen the call is connected but there is nothing there - got that 7 or 8 times less than a week. I never get that on the
Blackberry (EDGE on AT&T).
MobileMe - It should allow you to push mail from any account to the iPhone (just like the Blackberry BIS).
There aren't many useful apps in the App. Store - but I guess that's not Apple's fault.
I do love the interface and the phone's got a lot of potential ...if the developers would only truly listen to us!

Make sure that your computer has USB 2.0 ports and that you're not using a hub.
Turn the iPhone completely off, start up iTunes. Plug the USB cable into the 2.0 port on your computer. While holding the Home button down on the iPhone, plug the iPhone into the cable. Keep holding the Home button down until you see the USB symbol. At this point, iTunes should reinstall the software.

Calendar issue with the new iphone 6 plus

I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing a problem with the default iphone calendar for iphone 6 plus? I have consulted with apple's tech specialist both in store and online and they can't seem to figure out what's wrong. They have apparently forwarded the issue to the engineers. As everyone may know, dots appear under the date if you have added an event to the specific calendar date then the elaboration of the specific event appears on the bottom linear view. What i have been experiencing on my iphone 6 plus is that the dots disappear as i scroll further and further down to future months and when i do scroll back up the dots also randomly disappears with past months/events. The elaborated event in the linear view is still there, however, when u highlight the date. Why is that? We've already rebooted my phone, checked all possible settings issue, unsync then resynced it to icloud, resigned to icloud, reset all settings and even changed to a new phone (thinking it was a hardware defect) but the dots were still disappearing even with the new device. I even turned off icloud on all my devices and just used the usb cord to sync it from imac to iphone! This nightmare is still happening even without icloud! However, it doesn't do that to my iphone 5! All dots with corresponding events appear on all weeks/months on my iphone 5 calendar.
Hopefully, someone is experiencing the same issue with their default calendar on the new iphone 6 plus. I tried my best to describe the issue, so i hope this made sense.

M glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! Because when i spoke to apple techs it sounded like mine was an isolated case as they have not heard any complaints about this! I'll post something on this thread once apple techs have figured it out and get back to me! They initially put my icloud account on troubleshooting mode so they can look into it, however, it wasn't an icloud issue....so, they have yet to firgure it out! I have already sent them screenshots of what my calendar was doing to my phone.

Is the iPad 2 charger the same as the charger for the original iPhone?

My understanding is that the charger that comes with the iPad 2 is more powerful and will charge the iPad 2 more quickly than will the charger that comes with the iPhone 4. However, the iPad 2 charger is the same shape as the charger that came with the original iPhone. Does anyone know whether the iPad 2 charger and the original iPhone charger are identical in function? (BTW, my understanding is that the iPad 2 charger will not charge the iPhone 4 faster than that phone's charger will).

No, they're not the same. I compared mine awhile back and while they're the same shape, the iPad 2 one has writing on it that says "10 W USB Adapter". The one for the original iPhone doesn't have that writing, but if you compare the detailed input-output information, it does show that it is less powerful.
I believe that's why Apple changed to the two different sizes, so you can quickly determine which are for "phone" type devices and which are for "larger" type devices.
iPod USB Power Adapter
Input 100-240V ~ 0.15A (0,15A) 50-60 Hz Output 5V ----- 1A
10W USB Power Adapter
Input 100-240V ~ 0.45A (0,45A) 50-60 Hz Output 5.1V ----- 2.1A

HT5622 Due to problems with my original email I changed my apple id email and password months ago. Suddenly it is reverting to my old email. How do I get it to totally forget the original? I have iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro.

Hey 1Jerry,
Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi doesn't load. The wifi works sometimes however but this is rare. How do I fix this?

My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi (apps etc) doesn't load content and just looks like it's loading forever but nothing ever comes. However the wifi and wifi/internet dependant apps work sometimes but it's rare. How do I fix this?

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

I have an iPhone 4 that is not holding charge and heating up. I've been told it is a problem with the processor.

I have an iphone 4 that is not holding charge and is heating up excessively. I've been told that the iphone 4 is having problems with the processor and that it will soon die and there is no way to repair it. I got my phone in CR through Kolbi / ICE which guarantees it only for a year. I would like to know what Apple would like me to do. i have not taken it in for rapair or anything in hopes that they will acknowledge that the phone is only a year old and would support it.
Appreciate your help,
Belkis Young

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple or the Apple Authorized Service Center in the country where the device was originally sold. The warranty is not International.
All iPhones come with a one year warranty when sold as new.
