Iphone reset instructions don't work

Hello bought this iphone for my daughter xmas eve day at AT&T store. Phone has not been dropped and has not got wet. My daughter usually puts her iphone in her ihome and night and today she put her iphone in her cousins ihome and the screen went blank. Nothing. I've looked in the headphone jack for "the dot"; I must be blind but i don't see anything. Held down the buttons separately, together, charged for at least 10 minutes (the phone was fully charged when this happened), and plugged into USB and went to ITunes...don't know what else to try. ??? Only 2-1/2 months old? Is this typical?

    hello you can ask her to long press the home button and the power button for more than 8 seconds and once you see the apple icon let it go. it should do the trick. hope this works. cheers.

How to Hard Reset an iPhone

<p>Owners and users of the Apple iPhone generally report loving the phone, but they also report frequent lock-ups where the screen suddenly freezes or goes black altogether. Some report success solving the problem with a soft reset or the holding down of the sleep/wake and home buttons for the 10 second reset requirement. If this does not work, a hard reset is required to bring the iPhone back to life.<br /> <br /> <span>Instructions</span> <ol> <li> Update iTunes to version 7.4 or higher from the Apple website if you haven't already. <li> Connect the iPhone to your PC. You are automatically taken to the sync management page, and iTunes automatically begins syncing, or copying/backing-up the calendars, <a href="http://www.ehow.com/internet/">Internet</a> bookmarks, contacts and e-mail accounts stored on the iPhone. Sync everything on the phone or pick and choose from the menu you're given. Sync everything on the iPhone you don't want to lose, because a hard reset restores the iPhone to its original state and all data added since it was first taken out of the box is lost. <li> Go to the "Summary" tab at the top of the screen and select "Restore" from the drop-down menu. <li> Wait as the iPhone hard resets. The iPhone comes back up in it's original factory state and a prompt appears asking if you want to restore data settings. <li> Select "Yes" to restore the synced data to the iPhone.</li></ol> <br /> <br /> <br />

I forgot my password to my iphone and it has no service how do i reset

Plug it into a computer with iTunes. After a few minutes, it should bring up an option to "restore" the iPhone. This will reset it so you can start using it again.

WHEN I TRY TO SEE RECENT CALL HISTORY THE I PHONE 3 GS REVERTS TO THE HOME SCREEN. IS THERE ANY WAY OF RESOLVING THIS?

hello,ensure you are not clicking on the key wrongly,i would advice you put the phone off and on back to see if the problem stops.if it doesn't i would also advice you ensure you close any application you are not making use of.it could also be as a result of accumulated opening of applications. if that does not stop the problem,i would suggest you get the phone flashed by a mobile phone authorized repair engineer around you.
wish you good luck,
take care.

Bejewelled blitz for iphone latest version will not login to faceboook

Hi, 2 solutions since there were 2 types of iPhone (Original and Jailbreak). It may or may not work. If any of them works, just share for others. It really annoyed you since u were too used to it with iPhone.
1. If its an Original iPhone, u legally bought it from Apple Store. Delete the application from your phone and iTunes as well. Download the latest version from Apple Store to your iTunes and sync to your phone. You could re-download Facebook App as well if u wish. Don't log in to FB. Only do when Bejeweled Blitz asks you to. (or) you could try the post by Kenex Lee at http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=40343401983&topic=20869#topic_top

2. If its a Jailbreak iPhone, it doesn't matter where did u download it. What you need to do is to use the SBSettings Power Reset Mode. When you press the 'Power' button the drop down menu let you choose things like "Reboot", "Power Off". "Safe Mode", "Lock", etc.. Choose "Safe Mode". It will restart and your phone boot up w/o all your settings. I mean whatever you've modified on your phone. Then you try to play the game. It should be able to log in and connect online through FB since its a safe mode like PCs. If this solve the problem, you may change back to all your jailbreak settings.
If its still not working, you might need to Jailbreak again or Restore with iTunes(iOS will upgrade to 4.3.2) and jailbreak again.
I wish this helps your problem. I am not very sure whether Original iPhone(no jailbreak) has an option "Safe Mode" since i jailbreak mine on the very day i collected it. Have fun! Live Happy! Nothing Last Forever!! ^_^

My daughter set a password for son's iphone 3G and she cannot remember the password, can someone advice me how to unlock the phone

Plug it into iTunes with it at the unlock screen. Somewhere it should say "Unlock your iPhone" or something like that in iTunes. Click it. Otherwise do a restore by going to the screen where it shows how much memory you have used up in iTunes and click restore.


If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response. Thanks, Joe
