Hi folks, This is a somewhat forlorn plea - as I think I know the unpalatable answer :o((
We are in Paris. I have been trying to use my iPhone. It has been hard as the so-called wi-fi internet at the apartment is an ibook with a 3G modem in it. I won't go into the details of that - I sort of got it working by creating a computer to computer network with airport and sharing the internet to it - it worked after a fashion - enough to do dropbox syncs etc. HOWEVER - I only mention this in case it has some relevance to my REAL PROBLEM - my iPhone appears to have totally died. This morning I was trying to dropbox synch some stuff from the computer to the phone and noticed that I kept losing the connection - the wifi was connected and then it wasn't - the phone was a matter of a few cm from the laptop so signal strength wasn't a problem. Each time I could reconnect OK but then I would lose the connection in a matter of seconds. I don't know if this is relevant or not as a sign of something failing. Anyway, I finally achieved the transfers I wanted and stuck the phone in my pocket. Around 10-15 minutes later I went to make a phone call and I couldn't wake the iPhone - pressing the home key, trying to invoke a shutdown/restart by holding down the power key - nothing happens. The battery was at about 95% when it went in my pocket - so that's not the problem. I've tried plugging the phone into my laptop but it is not recognised by iTunes or showing as an attached USB device on System profiler. It seems like the phone is completely powered down and won't switch on. To channel Monty Python - it has ceased to be - it is an ex iPhone. I have just checked the receipt and the warranty expired 26th August - exactly 1 month ago!! I must admit, I don't feel like paying Apple for another iPnone after just over a year of VERY light usage. I'm still commited to paying Telstra $49 a month for the plan (though I guess I could find another phone to stick it in). Any body have any ideas/tips/ tricks to bring my iPhone back to life?
