So here's the problem. I'm 6 hours away from my apartment visiting with family for the holidays. Out of nowhere my iPhone stops getting 3G, at anytime at all (even in downtown Atlanta, GA, Orlando, FL, & Jacksonville, FL). I left my crap laptop at my apartment, which is the home PC for my iPhone 3Gs. I won't be home for another week or so and I really just want this fixed. I have not updated my iPhone to the latest software yet, not sure if that has anything to do with this situation. I spoke with both At&t and Apple Support about this and both suggested I take it to an Apple store. It's not a problem with At&t because both of my parents are picking up 3G and we are all on the same plan (and currently in the same house).
What I want to do is plug my iPhone into my mom's PC, that she does not have iTunes on. Download iTunes, and basically back my Music/Contacts/Pictures/Movies/etc. temporarily so I can update the software and (in the event the 3G problem remains) I can take it to the Apple Store tomorrow and get it replaced. Then I can use the backed up iTunes to put all my apps/music/etc. back on my phone. I would just take it without doing anything, but I have tons of pictures(1900 to give an estimate) I don't want to lose that have not been taken off and saved yet. I'd rather not wait until I go back to school to have to deal with this. I need my internet at all times! Ha.
Since my phone is not getting 3G all I see in it's place is an E, what looks like a tiny o, or nothing at all. What are these things? What do they stand for? I know that when it says E I can sometimes use internet but it takes forever. Like ten times longer.
Please help or give suggestions if you can! I really don't want to lose my stuff!
Thanks in advance!
