Unable to switch 3G back on

I switched off my 3G on my iPhone 3GS to save battery. Now it won't come back on. I don't think it's a carrier problem as I'm getting 3G ok on my iPad. Any solutions? Tq!

Try a different charger. If that doesn't work, hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time for 10 seconds while the iPod is on the charger and see if it shows any signs of life. If none of the above work, you should set up a Genius Bar appointment at your locla Apple store. If you don't have a local Apple Store, you should call Apple customer support to get a replacement iPod.

  • Unable to switch Central System Administration into Change Mode

    Hi,
    I am bit rusty on the Solution Manager - Central System Administration.
    While experimenting with my Solman system I did the following.
    1. Logged into Solman and started transaction Solution_Manager
    2. Switched to the Solution that has been configured and then followed Operations Setup->Solution Monitoring -> System Administration -> Central System Administration for <My System> (here my system is the system I wish to monitor).
    3. After following the navigation to the selected item as described in step 2, I selected the menu items Session Components->Complete.
    4. After this action of selecting the Complete session from the menu, my Central System Administration for <My System> is continuously showing Display Mode.
    I am unable to switch back the system to Change Mode.
    Am I missing something ? What needs to be done ?
    Regards,
    Siddhesh

    This was the wrong step. By setting the Session Component to "Complete", no further changes are allowed (and you receive a pop-up).
    The procedure to reopen the session component is not documented for customers. Please create a customer message on SV-SMG-MON-CSA, open the service connection and provide logon information.
    You might state my name in the message, I will then assist the message processor.

    1. On your iPhone 4 press and hold both the button and the Home button for about ten seconds. After ten seconds you should see the Apple logo showing up.
    2. Now try to run you phone again and see if it works.
    If a hard reset the still can't get the device back to a working order.
    1. Plug in the device to the cumputer and start iTunes.
    2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake + Home for 10 seconds.
    3. Once you see the Apple Logo appears, release the power and continue to hold down the home button for about 5-10 seconds. Look iniTunes and see if your device have shows up.
    4. iTunes will notify you that you are now in Recovery mode. Click on OK to continue with the restore process.
    5. Next press and hold on the SHIFT button and click on the Restore button. Select the latest IPSW file and the prompt appears.
    6. iTunes should now attempt to get your device back to the manufacturer setting.
    7. iTunes will later give you an opportunity to restore you content from the PC. Every time when you do a sync, iTunes makes a backup so you can choose the latest backup from the sync.

    Plug it in for 15 minutes. If it doesn't come on hold the HOME button (the round one) and the SLEEP button (the one on the top) at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). If nothing appears on the screen after 30 seconds you have a dead phone; take it back for exchange.

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
    if you review the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
    also the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
    you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to create temporary backing file

    My program is throwing out the error:
    temporary open: /var/tmp/BDB20825: Too many open files
    unable to create temporary backing file
    This happens after my program has been running for about 4 hours. The program appears to run out of file descriptors. The listing of /proc/<PID>/fd shows hundreds of lines naming the same file (/var/tmp/BDB20825), like this:
    lrwx------ 1 zobell users 64 Jul 28 14:41 622 -> /var/tmp/BDB20825 (deleted)
    That file does not exist. I suspect that someone is deleting but failing to close the file. A few open file descriptors with this deleted file occur slowly in the early hours, but not at a fast enough rate to bring the program down when it does. It looks like there is a sudden flood at the end.
    The program repeats this error slowly, and is stuck inside the db code. Here is the gdb backtrace I am seeing every time I interrupt:

    At this time, the program is trying to extract fields out of an XmlDocument that is the result of a query. The program uses a pre-calculated XmlQueryExpression to extract a specific field. This may not be the best way to extract a field from a document, given the apparent overhead of needing a temporary file!
    My program queries two database files (OD.dbxml and FD.dbxml.new), and uses the information to add records to the second file. The databases are rather big:
    bash-3.2$ ls -l /tmp/*dbxml*
    -rw-rw---- 1 zobell users 5233745920 Jul 28 14:42 /tmp/FD.dbxml.new
    -rw-rw---- 1 zobell users 6539427840 Jul 13 10:16 /tmp/OD.dbxml
    (I keep them in /tmp because everywhere else uses NFS and performance is awful with NFS.)
    My environment:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.3 (Tikanga) 32 bit.
    Berkeley DB XML 2.4.16, C++ interface.
    Disk space should not be an issue:
    bash-3.2$ df /tmp /var
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-tmp
    28948572 13044384 14409968 48% /tmp
    /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root
    144742920 5333544 131938272 4% /
    I ran this program about a year ago and did not see this issue. I have made a few changes and linked to the newer version of the XML database since then. Any help is appreciated.

    I have more information about this problem.
    If I "disable" the routine __os_zerofill() in os_fzero.c, by having it always return (0), I no longer get an exception and my application appears to run smoothly. However, I have not determined what in this routine leads to the exception. And, I have no idea what the short and long term consequences of "disabling" this routine will be....

  • HT204347 My MacBook Pro shut of three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine

    My MacBook Pro shut off three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine all morning. Using indesign and Skype which usually slow it down anyway but it's been fine. Then I plugged my iPhone 4S into it and it just shut off again. But this time it won't switch back on. No idea why this has happened but I hadn't saved my work either. I'd not long plugged the charger in to it but now, it's still plugged in, but the light on it is very dim and is just flashing.
    No idea what to do. Please help!

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)
