After OS5 attempt upgrade - 3Gs no longer connects to Win7

Following a failed attempt to upgrade to ios 5 on a 3Gs-16, The phone was stuck in restore mode. Attempted every known remedy proposed and only a command level function took the phone out of restore mode. PC(s) "plural" will no longer recognize the phone when attached via USB cable(s) "plural - several tried". Any ideas?

Thanks for your further consideration, much apreciated. I tried a different cable, different port and did reboot and soft reset. I also did reset of settings on iPad, just in case.
As I can with no problems use the same USB cable and USB port with my iPhone to connect to iTunes, the issue must be somewhat with the iPad Air and iTunes on my Macbook Air. I also can connect the iPad with the same USB Cable to iTunes on a different Macbook with no issues.
I think, best is to do a full backup on a different machine and then setting back the iPad to initial state, followed by a restore.
This I can (hopefully successfully) do with iTunes on a different Macbook.
Many thanks for you kind support.

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3. Is this fixable?

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3. I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning. Any ideas? Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

Hi gofroggy08,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible that the iTunes software didn't update properly. Try the specific steps below for the iPhone first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

I hope this information helps ....

IOs4 upgrade, 3gs no longer charges on Altec radio / iPod player

Ever since my iOs4 upgrade, my 3gs no longer charges on my Altec radio / iPod player.
Any ideas?
TIA

No suggestions. Sorry. But to share the pain. 4 must be the Vista of Apple. Since upgrading my 3gs gets physically very warm, which never happened before. I can't leave the phone charging connected to my notebook via a USB cable, which I could always do before: the phone actually drains. The multitasking feature is lousy: every app I run stays on, I can't control what is running unless I physically turn off the app, which is a design defect. How do I return the phone to the old OS unless and until Apple gets its act together?

After 8.3 update, 5c no longer connects to wireless carrier!

After completing the 8.3 update, my iPhone 5c will no longer connect to my wireless carrier. I cannot receive or send calls. The only way I can text is if I'm connected to my WiFi. I took my phone to the store and they replaced the SIM card, which didn't help. I was advised to come home, backup to iCloud, reset the phone to factory settings, and see if that helped. I did that, and now I keep getting an error during phone setup saying "the activation server is temporarily unavailable." Now what do I do? They told me not to connect to iTunes on my computer because it could have stored "bad data" from a previous backup. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello RacerChick81,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The reason you were told to not plug in your iPhone into iTunes on your computer was to ensure you did not restore from a previous backup. In this instance you will likely need to put your iPhone into recovery mode and the plug it in to your computer. For further troubleshooting steps on this issue where you get an error that the activation server is unavailable, please follow the directions below.
Try these steps:
If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
Restart the iPhone.
Try to reach the activation server another way, then try to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you can't activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.

Have a good one,

Podcasts missing after OS5.1 upgrade on Iphone

After I did my os5.1 upgrade, podcasts didn't transfer. They are in my Itunes account on PC but not on IPhone. Thanks for any info!

Confirm that you have checked the podcasts you want to sync to your phone on the Podcasts tab of your iTunes sync settings. If you have, and they still aren't transferring, try unchecking Sync Podcasts, sync, then recheck Sync Podcasts and sync again.

After upgrade can no longer connect to Mac from Windows

I have a wireless network (Linksys) with 2 iMacs, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP workstations. I have file sharing between the Windows and Mac computers. After upgrading I can no longer see the shared folders on the upgraded iMac from the Windows box. I cannot even ping the iMac by node name, but I can ping it by IP address so it is recognizable on the network. I cannot connect by IP address, however.
I have file and printer sharing enabled on the Leopard iMac. What can I do to restore the former connection?

Thank you! That partially solved the problem. I can now see the Leopard Mac and can open my user folder on it. However, the subfolders give an error saying they are not accessible - permission denied. I have gone through the folders and set all of them to Shared, but this did not make them accessible.

After the most recent iOS upgrade, iPad no longer connects to Verizon

Wi-Fi is fine, but the iPad continually shows "Searching...". I tried resetting the Network Settings (at the cost of my WiFi passwords) and Reprovisioning, but neither fixed the problem. I suspect this is a know issue, but is there a solution?

ddmathias, I want to make sure all services are working correctly on your phone. What GPS services were you using before the update happened? What kind of issues are you having with the services? Do you get any kind of errors? Please keep us posted.

Iphone 3GS no longer connects to computer or Itunes.

I have a decomissioned Iphone 3GS that I've been using as an Itouch (I don't use the phone features). Up until today it would connect to my computer and Itunes with no problems. When I had to uninstall a bunch of stuff and reinstall the new Itunes (the update is what screwed everything up) since I had a C++ runtime error R6034. Now I finally have Itunes again however my Iphone no longer wants to connect to my computer or Itunes. There is no beep from the USB no syncing, nada. The only thing it does is charge...which is only sort of helpful. I've tried two different cables, restarted my computer, restarted my Iphone. I just want it to connect so I can get my new music. Does anyone have any suggestions. Preferable if I didn't have to restore my Iphone.

After Mavericks OS upgrade, can no longer make any HTTP requests with the OPTIONS verb

My machine can no longer make any HTTP requests with the OPTIONS verb. This happens whether I try it curl, postman, or ajax.
curl -i -X OPTIONS http://www.google.com returns curl: (52) Empty reply from server
It should return a long string containing a 405 error code.
I suspect that this is related to the Mavericks upgrade I did earlier this week. I only have one mac (my dev machine) with Mavericks. Other macs are Mountain Lion and they don't have this problem.
Can anyone else with Mavericks confirm whether or not they have this problem too?
If this is Mavericks related, anyone know of a fix or workaround?

Turns out that it wasn't Mavericks related at all. Cisco AnyConnect has a security module running behind the scenes even when you're not VPNed into anything. It was blocking my OPTIONS verb requests. I was able to make these calls after uninstalling.
Re-installing with Web Security turned off should prevent it from happening. While I was uninstalling I did notice that there was a web security uninstall script in /opt/cisco/vpn/bin but I already committed to taking the whole app off my machine. Simply running that script could have done it too.
I must give credit to Ben Nadel. It was his blog post that helped me fix this issue.

After their recent upgrade Facebook no longer works for Firefox version 2.0.0.20, what is the most recent version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 running OS 10.3.9?

Facebook (FB) recently restructured their website. After logging on to my FB homepage, some of the graphics are garbled and I am no longer able to post status updates, comment on friend's status updates or pictures, or post pictures using Firefox version 2.0.0.20. I would like to know if there is a newer version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 Blue and White desktop running OS 10.3.9 which will be compatible with the new FB? I would upgrade my computer, but have 22+ years of business and tax records that will not function with the newer Mac OS.

IPhone 3Gs no longer connects to my Blue Tooth hands free cars

Within the last week, there appears to be a software update to my iPhone 3Gs. Since that time, my phone can no longer be paired with the hands free blue tooth options in both of my vehicles. The first vehicle is a 2010 Lincoln MKX with Sync and my other vehicle is a 2010 Volvo C30. Have other people experienced this? I have updated the connection between the phone and both vehicles. If I cannot get this fixed it looks like my iPhone is useless as a phone with blue tooth.

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

ITouch Firmware Upgrade - Can no longer connect to car audio system

I just upgraded to 3.1.1 last night on my iTouch and can no loger plug in and connect to the audio system on my Infiniti G35x. The iTouch shows that it is connected by the audio system shows that it isn't. I've checked the cables, etc and all is fine and can connect another iPod without any issues. Thoughts...?

This is a known issue that started with the 3.0 release, and it affects several auto manufacturers. I was hoping that 3.1.1 would fix this for my Honda, but no dice. Something changed either in the communication protocol or timing, but whose fault it is seems to depend on how many Apple products you own
You can step back down to the 2.x firmware ... search around for "DFU mode", I did it once and may do it again now that 3.1.1 doesn't solve this.

After a memory upgrade programme no longer working

Mac Mini as server running OS 10.5.8.
I just put in 1 GB of new memory in my server (Mac Mini) so now it has two modules one 256 and one 1GB. Nothing else changed.
Since doing that Ovolab Phlink (is my ‘answering machine’ programme) stopped working. It sees that a call is coming in and recognises the number but does not answer. On manual answering it plays the message to the caller but the phone keeps ringing. It also does no longer send a recording of the call per email.
I am not expecting anybody here to be familiar with Ovolab Phlink but wonder if anybody has a clue as to what could have happened that it was working fine immediately before and not working immediately after (all other programmes seem to be fine). Could it have to do with the internal battery having been disconnected? Or?

macbig wrote:
Could be the RAM. Apple recommends installing in matched pairs.
I do not think so! RAM is fine, and we have several MINI' with not matching RAM pairs. it will effect speed of some Applications, like with a video etc. but not the normal operating of the machine. Also as stated all other Applications run fine.
anybody any thoughts?

After a power interruption, iMac no longer connects to wifi using time capsule. IPad connection to wifi remains intact.

I am prompted "the network (network name) requires a wpa password." after inputting my password, I have no success. Network status is on but is not connected to a network.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
