3GS now a paperweight?

My stupid macbook pro won't recognize the pictures on my 3GS now that I have my iPhone 4. Do I really have to plug my 3GS into a PC to get the pictures off? I hate being a fanboy that gives Apple a pass on all these irritating little things, but I just can't help it.
Thanks

Ok, you definitely got me there. The 3GS certainly is not useless. But, I would still like to be able to transfer photos off of it to my mac. Windows recognizes the photos and I was able to save them to disk on my work PC. It just strikes me as odd that I can't set the 3GS up as a separate device just like one of my ipods and still use it with my mac. Why doesn't iphoto recognize the pictures on the 3GS anymore? It populates the frame with a bunch of empty thumbnails. It's weird.

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

Upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone 3gs now phone service doesn't work and battery does not hold charge. Can someone help me?

I upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone 3gs now phone service (AT&T) constanly goes in and out and battery does not hold charge. Can someone help me?

It appears to be a bug in iOS5. I have the same problem on the 3Gs and my new 4S.
I eagerly await a patch......

Up until the ios7 upgrade I could track all our family's devices from my 3GS, now since upgrading on the iPhone 4S and 5 I can't track them as they come up as 'offline'! And inactive on my icloud id added on the devices!! Please advise.

And inactive on my icloud id that added on the devices!! Because I. can't upgrade to ios7 on my 3GS is that why, or do I need to do something else on each device?

It's possible that installing iOS7 on the other devices made the setting to the default for "Find My Friends". The default is off/disabled. Thus they are off line.
Double check their settings for that feature.

After i unlocked my iphone 3gs now safari won't open

After i unlocked my iphone 3gs now safari won't open. Could someone please help?

How did you unlock your iPhone? If you jailbroke it, that probably caused the problem with Safari.
If not, try restarting or restoring your iPhone.

I updated my iphone 3gs now its not setting up, not picking the sim

i updated my iphone 3gs now its not setting up, not picking the sim.i am in pakistan

if it was jailbroken to remove a sim lock then updating the ios version will relock it to the carrier it was originally locked to

HT1414 restored os on iphone 3gs now i cannot activate server unavailable

I upgraded my iphone 3gs now I cannot activate server unavailable. I am lost

Congratulations. You have bricked it.
Buy a new phone if you want one you can use.
You can not get help here. Jailbreaking voids any warranty and Apple Care agreement and forfeits your right to support from Apple and on these forums.

You are not using a valid SIM that came along with your phone. Please insert the sim card with which your iPhone was purchased. Your phone is locked to that particular SIM and will not recognise other sim cards. If you don't know which sim it was, you might want to take the iPhone to the place where you purchased it from.

If i buy an iphone 3gs now can I........

if i buy an iphone 3gs now, can I port a number from a helio phone who's contract expires on the 29th after having received a number for the iphone?

I'm sure you can. I was in a similar situation when i bought my 1st gen iPhone and ported a number about 2 months after getting the phone. Was not a problem. But I guess it's always best to check with AT&T, but I would call rather than asking in a store. The store personnel seem more interested in selling than answering questions. Twice I've gone into a store thinking it would be easier than calling to do something and twice they put me on the phone with customer service from a phone in the store. DUMB DUMB DUMB

What version of iOS are you running? I'm going to bet that you do NOT have a 3Gs. You have a 3G. The highest version of iOS that can run is 4.2.1.
If you did not save a copy of the older facebook at that could run on 4.2.1 on your computer that you can sync back, then you're out of luck. The newest version (and the only one available in the app store) will not run on 4.2.1.
You will have to resort to using the mobile web page in Safari or find a 3rd party app that will run on your phone.

I updated my iphone 3gs now am receiving a no service error, please help!

i updated my iphone 3gs OS now am receiving a no service error, what is the problem and how can i sort it out?

Probably because the phone was hacked to unlock it or jailbroken.

My External Drive...with ALL myTunes Library, is now a paperweight!

I HAD a Seagate External hard drive that I'd partitioned to hold my iTunes library. It is now totally dysfunctional, and according to the Seagate technicians, valuable only as a paperweight. I still have all my music on my iPod, but what do I do to "restore" the library? Sure appreciate the assistance, and anything you can do to help ease the frustration and anger would DEFINITELY be appreciated!

Only some photos syncing from iPhone '09 to iPhone 3GS now

To troubleshoot, I only checked boxed a single album of about 250 photos to sync to iPhone. When I do the sync only some photos within the album sync - some but not all. Same with other photos albums too. Does not matter if album is regular or "smart". Never has this issue before now. Lack of free space on iPhone is not the issue.
Rebuilt the iPhoto library by holding Command + Alt at launch and tried most of the options. No luck. Then tried all six check boxes in iPhoto.
I'm using...
OS X Lion 10.7.1
iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.5
iPhoto '09 (8.1.2)
iTunes 10.4.1
I must be missing something basic (I hope). Anyone know what's going on here?
