Hello,Will an Apple iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is sleeping?I have a Motorola SLVR L7, two BCK-08 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and two iPower Secondary iphone batteries that all charge from my Powered USB Hub while my main computer is sleeping. It would seem that my iphone 3g will not charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer attached to it is sleeping?Is there any way to get an iphone 3g to charge from a PoWeReD UsB HuB while the computer it is attached to is sleeping?Im thinking in terms of greening things ... but this is making me leave a 170 Watt computer running while I sleep ... I dont use the computer much while asleep ...Thanks for your time,Bobby Windows 7 x64 iphone OS 3.1.3 Windows 7 x64 - itunes 9.0.3.15

I have three app games on my phone.Can I sync them to my computer and then play them on my computer? Mac
Tonight I was using my iphone to listen to some audio files. When I finished I unplugged the headphones and left the phone for a while. Ten or fifteen minutes later I went to use the phone and could not get anything on the display. I assumed the phone had turned itself off so plugged into Macbook to charge. Surprisingly the phone connected to itunes, did a backup and synch and showed the battery was mostly charged, but still a black display.Has my phone died? If I try calling it I can hear it ringing on the line but the phone itself remains silent with a black screen. I am suspecting that unplugging the headphones did something.Problem summary: No display, no sound but iphone still connects to itunes, synchs and backs up.Help! iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.3 Macbook (White 13" 2.16 GHz), Apple TV 160GB

Went to sync by phone last night, downloaded the new version of itunes, plugged in my iphone, it took awhile to recognise my phone, first started to charge it, then started to sync, then went off, then started to charge it, then tried to sync etc... this just kept on going like this until I got an error message. itunes did recognise the phone when it tried to sync it initially, then it just stopped. In the end I gave up trying to sync the phone. Any suggestions on what the problem could be? iphone 3G Windows 7
I sync my MS Outlook Notes between the PC and the iphone. Whenever I make changes to the Notes on the iphone, during the sync, the confirmation box shows up asking to confirm that I want to change Notes on the PC. This request for confirmation is really annoying. It doesnt come up if changes were made on the PC and are being synced to the iphone. How can I stop this annoying request for confirmation? 3gs Windows 7

Hello! I have an iphone 3gs. Yesterday, I mistakenly left it at a guard post at a federal building after it had gone through the x-ray machine. I was unable to return to the building to retrieve my phone before the workday was over. So it sat at the guard post until this morning, when I picked it up.The weird thing is this: The screen now only displays, from bottom to top, an Apple USB plug and an arrow pointing upward toward an itunes icon. The top of the phone says no service, along with a padlock icon and the battery meter. The lower right hand corner includes an i with a circle around it, and when I tap that, I get a window displaying an IMEI and an ICCID number.What the heck does this mean? iphone 3gs iphone OS 3.1.3
So i have read all over the place about issues with custom ringtones on the iphone 3G. I have a combination of ones I have created (mp3->AAC->m4r files), I have figured out to place them into the ringtones directory but here is the problem...I can only get one or 2 to show up at a time. Example...Ringtone A, B, C, D are added to the ringtone directory on the iphone. Only Ringtone B shows on the phone after syncing. If I go into itunes and remove B from the iphone, it syncs again...but now Ringtone C appears on the phone itself. itunes shows the other tones in the directory. What is going on here? Something is being parsed wrong? File settings? If any of the tones are the only ones on the phone, they show up and work fine. It is once more than one are added to the directory that it just acts like a nut and randomly picks what will show up. iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.2
I had a Windows Vista computer that would boot up and programs could open but, once opened, the programs were totally unresponsive. The mouse worked, but wouldnt click on any part of an open window (not anything - browser window, Word, Excel...nothing would work once opened). I couldnt even reinstall Windows. This computer was older and I had been intending on replacing.I got a new HP with Windows 7, all programs loaded fine, all pictures and documents were restored. When I plugged in my iphone to sync my mail contacts, my computer froze after a few minutes. I rebooted and it started acting exactly like my old one. It appears that my iphone might be carrying a virus. The phone works fine, but I think an email might have had a virus attached to it. I did get a couple wierd emails from a cousin a couple of weeks ago.Has anyone heard of anything like this, or more importantly, does anyone know how to scan and remove a virus from an iphone.Thanks!

Every time I make a call, instantly call forwarding active window appears locking me out until I close it.I have spoke as it started after update 3.1.2 to Apple who confirmed there was an Issue with the firmware 3.1.3 which I was now on, they told me to do a backup in itunes as a new user logged onto my imac then go back to my own account & restore my Apps etc; which I did, BUT it did not work.iphone is factory unlocked used in 3 different countries so different sim cards & Call Forwarding Active comes up on all of them.

I recently bought an iphone 3G, and have been trying to connect it to itunes. It connected the first time and transfered all apps that Id bought on my phone onto itunes.However, when I tried to sync the iphone to transfer the apps and my music back onto the iphone, the iphone wouldnt sync properly; itunes connects to it, and I can press sync, but it finishes syncing almost immediately, and nothing is actually transfered from the computer to the phone.Ive tried the first 4 steps on the Apple support website to rectify this problem, and none of them work. My version of itunes is the most recent, and the iphone software is up to date. Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated,. Thank you. iphone OS 3.1.3

Sunday I updated my 3g to the latest software version when prompted by itunes. The phone was functioning ok, but yesterday I was having some data issues through one of the apps (Facebook). I deleted the FB app to reinstall it, but when I went into the app store to re-download it, it was indicating that it was already installed. I rebooted the phone in hopes that it would recognize the app as being gone, but the phone got to the shut down stage in the reboot and will not turn back on. Any ideas on how to get it back up and running??? HP iphone OS 3.1.3

Once my iphone 3G 8GB goes into Auto lock mode after 2 minutes the black screen with the white apple comes on and will not respond. Not even a reset. Only putting back on a charger will bring it back to life. The battery is fully charged. I have downloaded latest versions from itunes, also did a restore. Nothing is working.
Hello,I have just been to the O2 shop, who have sent my iphone for repair. It should take between 7 and 10 days (they say). I have synced my iphone with itunes before going to the shop and I understand that when the phone comes back (or it could be a new one), everything will be wiped out. My question therefore is do I need to do a normal sync with itunes when I get my iphone back or a restore? What is the difference?Also, I am trying to understand what I will get back with each operation, especially for things that I am unsure of like:photos on camera rolltext message historyemail account settingsVPN settingsanything that is likely to be definitely lost?I have searched the Apple web site and Google but havent found a definite answer.Many thanks in advance,Arnaud IBM ThinkPad T60 Windows XP Pro
Over the past week my iphone (which has worked perfectly for 6 months) had stopped making or receiving calls. My phone will work one minute then 24 hours later, i get 15 voicemails and text messages at 1 time from people that i have been trying to call me. Its as if i have no reception,then it will kick back in all of a sudden. The same goes when i try to make calls. I try to dial and it either freezes or just says cant connect and returns to home screen. Its getting worse as the days go on. Ive restored network setting, updated it on itunes but it sometimes works, sometimes doesnt. LGP1 Windows XP

Last two days I am having trouble sending MMS messages. Get a red exclamation circle after the message. I cleared out loads of photos/apps/messages thinking that the phone might be a bit crowded (mine takes an age to sync). Still having problems. Then yesterday daughter and son-in-law started having the same problem. These are not messages with photos - just basic one or two lines of text. Could receive texts OK during this time. 3GS

Ive noticed that normally when my iphone is in sleep mode once I awake it before I slide to unlock I can see if Ive received a message. This morning I was messaging with someone.

Once I did unlock, then I saw another message in the message window. Strange, any information?

Hi,Im having problems with my iphone 3G (it has the last firmware and has never been jailbroken) when trying to sync/charge with the USB cable connected to any PC.. Ive started having problems two days ago (I did not do any particular activity apart from updating 14 apps from itunes): I connect the phone to my pc, it starts syncing and after few seconds (sometimes 1-2 minutes) the circle with bars appears in the middle of the screen; then, after a while it reboots and the apple logo appears (I usually reboot it with sleep+home because after 20 minutes it is still there).. Ive lost my backups and Im not able to complete the iphone backup, so I dont know how I should proceed now... Maybe I could try to reinstall the firmware, even if Ill loose everything, but is it possible to do that without an active internet connection? I have downloaded the file with the last firmware, how can I reinstall it from itunes when Im not connected to Internet?Thank you in advance for any help! Santech X3620 Windows Vista
Hi there,Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Yesterday I purchased 2 programs from a company on the internet. They have 5 tracks each. When I downloaded them, they went straight to itunes and played just fine. They won't however sync to my iphone, even though the playlists are still checked under the music tab when I go to sync my phone. I did notice that there are little internet/airport symbols next to the title of each track. I've never seen this before and am thinking that, somehow, this is connected to the problem. When i click on the tracks and go to Get Info, under the where section, there is the company's website with the option to edit URL. Perhaps there is something I can change that will take away the interent symbols and get them onto my iphone.Please, please, please help...I really need these tracks to be portable.Thank you so much....Peace and prosperity...Becky

After months of no real problems, my Macbook (OS X 10.4.11) and itunes (9.03(15)) refuse to recognize my iphone or my wifes iphone. No sync, no charge, nothing in the Finder window. One time it did recognize my iphone but then gave an error message that itunes could not write to my iphone, and told me to restore my iphone to its factory settings.My Macbook and itunes recognize other iPods just fine. Why not my iPhones?Other computers recognize the iPhones just fine, so it doesnt seem there is a problem with my iPhones. As a result, I dont want to restore the iPhones to the factory settings and go thru the awful experience that was setting up my email accounts and other information the first time.I have tried: Swapping USB cables and ports Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPhones Quitting and restarting itunes Restarting the Macbook Restarting the iPhonesThis first happened yesterday, I restarted the Macbook and then my iphone synced and charged OK. But now today the problem has recurred, and none of the above have been successful.Help!!!!! iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.3 itunes 9.03
