3G and old iPhone docks

I noted that I cannot put the new 3G into my old iPhone dock. Does anyone know why the difference? The phone dimension are very similar! In addition to getting a new phone, I will have to get new docks for the car charger, car stereo and office. Bummer!!!

Jorge is right. I tried to put mine in the old iPhone dock and the only thing keeping it from fitting in is the curved back of the new phone, whereas the old one was flat. The official iPhone 3G dock is available on Apple's online store..but it is 30 bucks....kind of price-y for a dock that should have been free.

I'm going to have to buy it because I can't live without a dock....

some may not be supported by the older 3gs the page where you bought it should be clear on which items are supported

Can I save messages from both my new and old iphone

I was unable to set up my new iphone 6 right away due to computer issues where my itunes and phone backup are stored. Now I have messages on both my new and old iphones that I don't want to lose, but I need to restore my new phone with the backup of the old. Is there any way to add the messages from the new iphone to the backup of the old?

Not really - but at least you are thinking about it in advance which is good
The restore from backup as you know is a snapshot in time of your phone
So if you restore from the old - you lose the new messages after that point
You may be able to use software like TouchCopy to get the messages off your phone - either old or new

IPhone 3G and Original iPhone docking cradles

The new 3G does not come with a cradle. Using the OLD cradles works......but you really have to FORCE the 3G into the old dock cradle. Does anyone know if that's OK or if I'm asking for a problem by using the old cradles and making it fit?.

The Apple ear buds will NOT work with the iPhone. Only iPods. I mean the volume control. Why is that? Bad decision making on Apples part. IMO. That's not to say they won't eventually add support for it in a future firmware update. I'm in the same boat. I bought them and can't use volume control either.

Differences Between New and Old iPhones

Other than data connection speed, is (are) there any real big difference(s) between first and second generation iPhones? Are there any apps that won't run on my first gen (which is up-to-date with version 2.1) phone? I'll eventually upgrade, but I'm recently retired, and trying to take it easy on my wallet, plus I'm real happy with my current phone, so later is preferable to sooner in doing so.
One specific area I have a question about is "built-in" GPS function. Am I right in thinking it is the same on both old and new phones, as long as both are running the version 2.1 operating systems? Will any add-on hardware modules (either currently or being) designed to provide "true" GPS navigation by attaching to the 3G phones connect/work with 2G models as well?
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

The first generation iPhone you're referring too doesn't have a GPS chip at all. Instead the 2g relies on using cell phone towers, (3 to be precise), to triangulate your signal and estimate where you are based on that. While the 3G GPS is far from perfect in location tracking itself, it is in theory far more accurate than cell tower triangulation. You will also find that most of navigation apps available in the app store will specify that they're designed for the iPhone 3g as it has a GPS chipset and the 2g version doesn't.
I hope this helps clear it up for you

TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back.

HT204053 I have iphone 4 and it is using my wife . My new iphone 5 and old iphone 4 both were used same apple password, but different e-mail address . Now both apple id has beed blocked. What do I have to do.

My both of iphone id blocked. What do I have to do?

Sorry, but nobody here can help you nor can Apple. The only way to disable Activation Lock on your devices is to use the password for the AppleID associated with that devices iCloud account. There is no alternative - you need that password, or you need your friend to disable those devices in their online account.

ATT MicroCell and old iPhone

I have a near original version of iPhone with all updated software available. Works fine except at home, use when away or traveling, but no reception at home. Yesterdday got free ATT 3G Micro-Cell, but can't activate, probably because my phone not 3G or later. Does anyone know a workaround so I can get home reception with M-C or otherwise. I'll upgrade when iPhone 5 comes along.
Thanks... Frank

You should ask in Netgear's forum not here

Is it o.k. to use original iPhone dock for iPhone 4S?

I've still had my original iPhone dock. I connected my new iPhone 4S to the original dock. It is working good to syncing on iTune with no problem I think...
If this works, can I use this original dock with iPhone 4S?
As I know, new iPhone 4S dock is compatible with only iPhone 4 and 4S. But I wonder this old and original iPhone dock is compatible with new iPhone 4S.
Thanks in advance for advice!

If the dock works, it should be ok to use with your iPhone 4S. The pinouts of the connectors haven't changed and I've used an old iPod sync cable with my iPhone 4S with no problems.

How do I fix a New Mac/Old iPhone WiFi conflict?

New Mac and Old iPhone wifi conflicts.
So just got the new mac. started it up, did all the auto-set up stuff, got my iPhone 4S connected and all my stuff iClouded onto the new mac, but all of a sudden, my partner's work iPhone is blocked from accessing the household wifi. The apps are there, one can click on them but then they are unopenable. His phone is an iPhone 4.
I really don't want to delete my iCloud and to turn it off, I have to delete it off my new mac.
Help! Does anyone have a solution or idea?

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

Bose iphone dock and AV cable to play movies through tv

my iphone would play through bose sound dock and used to be able to play videos and bbc iplayer through tv with av cable.
now get message on iphone saying this accessory is not made to work with iphone-turn on airplane mode.also have same problem with ipod nano,av cable will not work any more.
help

I have recently started having this problem with my 20 mo old iPhone. I purchased a LadybuyII from Apple because I wanted a system that worked consistently. I think the issue is that my phone's connector has worn over time, because I have to "jiggle"it to get it to begin charging on anything but my plug-in charger, and I consistently get "accessory not supported." REALLY irritating -- phone isn't old enough to be that wimpy.

Iphone 4 with old universal dock

i have got an old universal dock for my iphone 3gs
now i have iphone 4 and the universal remote control dose not work!!
what can i do?

It will only update the iOS if you select updating. A regular sync does not require or force the update of iOS.
