My iPhone 3G keeps saying "This Accessory Is not Made to work with iPhone", but there is no accessory plugged in. It will not make any of the normal sound effects, and if I plug headphones or speakers they work fine. I've restarted it several times now, and nothing is fixing it. Any ideas??

Answer
You may have some debris on the 30-pin connector at the bottom of the iPhone. Either blow into the bottom or use compressed air to clean it out. MAKE VERY SURE that if you do so, do not spit into the bottom nor have any liquid come out of the compressed air, because it could get in contact with the LDI(liquid damage indicator) and void your warranty.

If that doesn't correct the issue, export your contacts, calendars, photos, notes, music and apps(that aren't already on your computer) and restore the iPhone as new.

If you're still having issues, you're looking at a hardware issue and may need to look at a replacement. If you're still under some kind of warranty(be it your 1 year or AppleCare) then it will be of no cost to you, so long as there's not already liquid damage or other physical damage. If you're not within a warranty or there is physical damage, the cost of repair is $199.

I used to have the iPhone 3G and I just got the iPhone 3GS. How can I get all of my old contacts, music, apps, and photos onto my new phone so it just like new?

Answer
I would do a Google search and see what you come up with or contact your phone provider and they should be able to help. If you have a sim card and it fits then your good to go, if not most phone companies can just transfer your numbers over or contact everyone via text letting them know you've changed your number.

Will resetting my iPhone 3G to factory settings fix it?

Star

Ever since I installed iOS4 on my iPhone 3G it's been lagging with loading and typing and the apps crash all the time. Is there anyway to fix this by resetting the phone? Will I lose all my numbers and photos?

Answer
It probably won't fix it, you will have to wait for the next update of iOS. If you do choose to restore it back it up first by plugging it into iTunes, right clicking on your device, then hitting backup. After that is done, hit restore. After that you just need to wait for it to be done then it will have the option to restore it to the backup of "Your iPhone's name here" and all your numbers and settings will be back.
