3GS updated to 5.1 and now no contacts most all apps close as they attempt to open
Thought it all went well until this morning, I can text. Its hooked up to the USB to PC and Itunes sees it fine but the phone sez charging not supported with this accessory.
Doesn't it do a backup of my phone before it upgrades? How do I restore it to that backup?
Yeah this was my first time connecting my phone to the computer since I went to iOS 5.0 and iCloud, so I wasn't familiar with the fact that it did not automatically create a backup on iTunes during the Sync process. Should have right-clicked on the phone device and did a manual backup.
But still, after restoring the backup from iCloud, I don't understand why data from certain apps got hosed (anything before October 2011, which was my last iTunes backup), while other apps' data appears to be fully intact.

I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan. What do I need to do?
I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
Sorry but you lost your money.

I just did the update to iOS 7.1 and now cannot use my Facebook app on my ipad. It won't open, it just crashes. I can access it via the internet and can still use the app on my iPhone (which also has the update) but not on my ipad. Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions?

The Itune account was mine but when my husband update the detail it became his? Now we can not download apps the message that comes up says what ever the item is will be avalible for download when you login to the itune store on yur computer. But I am logged in.Please help??
You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs. -
My 3gs reset to factory settings and now I can't dowload apps??
I was due for an IOS update. I plugged it in to the computer to do so, and in the middle of it there was an error which made my phone go into recovery mode. I then had to factory reset, but it synced my latest backup from that morning of contacts and pictures. I lost all my apps. I cannot download apps since this reset. (Though I had been having the same problem of being unable to download apps before this reset as well) It lets me enter my apple password, shows the load bar, and then resets - does not download. Help?!?! My phone shows over 5 GB of free space, I'm not sure what the problem is.
Try a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I updated to IOS 5 and now my signal strength drops sometimes clear to zero when I open an app.
I updated my Iphone 4 with the IOS 5 operating system. When I use an application, including the phone app, my signal strength bars will drop from 4 or 5 bars to 1 bar and sometimes to no bars and searching for a signal. When I exit the app the bars return tto what they were before. I have an AT&T plan that operates in Mexico which is where I am now. In Mexico it operates on the TelCell network. Before updating the op system I had no problems with the signal strength dropping when I used an app.
Hello timfromharris,
Have you gone to your date and time settings and verified that "set automatically" has been checked?
If you don't know where to go, it's Settings -> General -> Date and Time.
Good luck!

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it
updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? -
hey everyone.. i have a problem with my 3Gs iphone.. i updated to the ios5 and now when i open it says that i have to connect it with the itunes. when i connect it says that has an error 28 something like that.. can anyone help me to fix it?? Regards
Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures??????
I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures?????? When I have 500 pictures on it!!!!! Im soooooo mad I did the update! Worst decision ever!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOO ready to leave the IPHONE alone- maybe throw it in the river or lay it on the train tracks. Its been NOTHING BUT TROUBLE since the update!
Just to be clear: Tap on the Photos app to start the app. Then tap on Albums at the bottom of the screen. You might have several albums but only one is named "Camera Roll." Are there photos in that album?
If there are NO photos in the Camera Roll album there are no pictures to import. The remaining albums might have come from a sync with your computer or they might be your PhotoStream.
If there ARE photos in the Camera Roll album, connect your iPhone to your computer and start your camera application on the computer. Your phone should be recognized as a camera.
