Apple ID issues since updating 3GS to iOS 5.

I have been unable to update my apps on my phone because after doing the iOS 5 update, it asked for my Apple ID but wouldn't take the current ID because it wasn't an email. So I put my email address and then began having issues because it asked for my password. Long story short, is there anyway to link my Apple ID's so I can update my iphone apps? I've tried typing in the other but then it states my password is incorrect. So I try setting up another one and I keep chasing my tail.

You can't combine Apple ID's. Your apps are tied to the original Apple ID that they were purchased under so it sounds like you need to reset the password and go back to using the old Apple ID.

Issues when updating 3GS to iOS 4.3

Hi,
My wife has a 3GS and has been trying for days to update to the latest version of iOS (4.3), always having an issue at the end.
First iTunes gave the message about the software upgrade, so she clicked download and install. After some time, she got an error message (Error 3259), so it seemed that the file was not being downloaded properly.
After several tries, she downloaded some software to repair the error, and it seems it worked. Also as a second alternative she downloaded manually the iOS file.
Now the problem is that she connects the 3GS to the computer, iTunes detects it, does the backup / sync and then proceeds to install the iOS upgrade, taking more than 10 minutes, and when it seems to have finished the process she gets a message saying that the connection between the laptop and the iphone was lost, and the software was not installed. We have tried a few times always having the same error at the end.
She is using a Dell computer with Windows XP and the latest version of iTunes.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Jose

Hi Wjosten,
Thanks for your suggestion. I did as you suggested and it partially worked.
I had to update to the latest version of iTunes. Then I disabled all security software and tried to update the iphone. It seemed to work but agained it failed. Now I get an error 1604, and need to restore the iphone. I restarted the computer, tried again, and got the same error again.
Now, not only I cannot update the iphone, but also have to deal with the fact that I need to restore, and it's not working.
Now I am going through the process of checking the USB settings, restarting (again) the computer and trying all over again.
Any ideas or suggestions will be more than welcome.
Regards
Jose

IMessage and Memory issues since updating iPhone to ios 8.1.3

I stupidly updated my iPhone 5S due to the idea of a wider variety of emojis and now everything has gone wrong. My iMessage keep disappearing and reappearing or not coming through at all on my phone but they're all still coming through perfectly fine on my Macbook. As well as the iMessage issue my iPhone keeps on insisting me memory is full even though I've deleted pretty much everything, nothing loads my screen just crashes then goes back to homepage...my patience is running low and by the looks of Twitter I'm not the only one facing these issue my only wonder now is what, if anything can I do?

Greetings Nezza80,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error when viewing videos. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:

How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

HT4623 Since installing latest software I cannot access wifi,it seems there's a common term for this called greyed out.this is a software update issue as it's only happened since updating to latest IOS.Will there be a solution or is this the time to give

Since updating to latest IOS I cannot switch on wifi,looking at other sites it appears it's a software issue.how long do we wait for a bug fix as the common term greyed out is affecting a lot of phones after researching I phone users with the same issues.i know at the moment it's either move on to another phone system or do I risk the wait for a bug fix? I would like all with similar issues to list here so something might be done to resolve the software problem.

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

It seems like there are a lot of issues with the 3GS on iOS 5.1

It seems like there are a lot of issues with the 3GS on iOS 5.1, should I stay with 4.3.5? Part of what worries me is that my business is completely reliant on this phone and the billing and job tracking software I use, so if something were to happen I would be in trouble. Also, myself not being all that tech savy I am wondering if by hooking my iphone up to itunes once every couple of weeks, is it creating a backup file? If I had to replace my phone could I just plug the new one into itunes and have all of my apps and data transferred onto the new phone? I want to get proactive about this so at the very least I'm not tempting fate.
Many thanks,
Stephan

Looking around here, what you are going to see is problems. People don't come to forums like this to talk about how smoothly their phone is working.
Backing up every couple of weeks is OK, if you can afford to lose several weeks worth of data.
That's one of the huge advantages of iOS5. Wireless backups to iCloud. Plug your phone in to charge at night, and if you have WiFi, it will back up without the need for you to do anything. If it gets run over by a truck, you get a new one, restore from iCloud, and off you go.
if you don't update, you're going to start running into problems soon as new versions of many apps REQUIRE iOS 5.

Steps to update 3GS to iOS 4.3?

Steps to update 3GS to iOS 4.3 please?

This is the ipod forum.
You cannot update to 4.3. If you have a 3gs then you can update 6.0.1
Turn on computer.
Open itunes (make sure you have the latest itunes version).
Connect iphone.
That's it. It will prompt you to update if one is available.
Do you have an iphone 3g? Of so, it will only go to 4.2.1

Issues since update to yosemite

Hello everyone,
I've been having all sorts of issues since updating to yosemite which I am struggling to fix on my macbook.
I've had the mac since 2010/11 and the first thing I noticed after updating to Yosemite was the fan constantly running from the moment I boot the machine and that the icons on my desktop were extremely slow to load up as are any files in the documents folder and finder.
Then watching videos on youtube etc were refusing to play fully. I have since updated to the latest flash player but it is still slow.
I ran the activity monitor and a kernel task file is operating at around 120% all the time.
I have read numerous posts on the internet to try to fix and have upgraded to the latest yosemite, reset the printers and many other things.
Now the trackpad is no longer working and not recognised and now the final straw for me is the keyboard refusing to be recognised at startup. I am currently using a wired mouse and bluetooth keyboard to get around these problems and everything is working fine with these but is a real pain.
Has anyone had any similar problems to the above and know how to sort as this is taking up way too much of my time.
Thanks

Update 3GS to iOS 4.2.1 - no longer charges or connects to PC

Hi,
On Saturday morning 4 December I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.2.1. It was fully charged and synced as I liked it, so at that point I didn't notice anything was wrong.
I went to charge it Sunday morning using my wall charger, and I was given the error "charging is not supported by this accessory".
Thought maybe there was something wrong with the wall charger - plugged it into my PC. No charge, not picked up by iTunes. Tried a few other things - no result.
Now, what does work:
It does respond to my Bose Sounddock - it gives the "charging is not supported by this accessory" I always get. It also plays music through the Sounddock.
This suggests it isn't a hardware failure. Indeed, because it only occurred after I upgraded my iOS, I'm starting to think it is a software fault on behalf of Apple - my iPhone no longer likes USB connections.
I've tried every combination I've read on the internet, turning it off and on again, doing a hard reset, doing a reset to factory settings - no fix. Because my iPhone will no longer interact via USB, I can't make any changes to the software of the device that might fix it.
All up, I'm in a bit of a jam. I've turned my iPhone off to save battery in case anyone has a solution that involves interaction through the phone.
So, what are my options? I have a feeling that the phone will be bricked, which is a tad disappointing, since I've done nothing to break it.
Thanks

Well, I think it depends on how adventureous you are, and how close you are to Apple store...or where it can be serviced. Hopefully you are still under warranty....I would try a different USB cable if you can find one without buying one..If that doesn't work, you can try a DFU mode restore. Obviously, when you do this, you will loose all data, so hopefully you have a backup or your data sync'd up somewhere. Look around for instructions on DFU mode restore. You could try a regular restore first...Up to you. See if that works. Let us know how you come out.

HT1694 Cannot open email links since updating iPad to iOS 7

I cannot open links in emails since I updated my iPad to iOS 7

I was having the same issue with my iPhone 5 iOS 7 and support resolved the issue for me. Here are the steps from support:
clear your Cookies and History. Go to Settings > Safari > Click on Clear History then Clear Cookies and Data. When that's finished hard reset the iPhone. Make sure your device is not plugged into the computer right now. Press the circle home button and the power button together for about 10 - 15 seconds or until until you see an Apple. Then you can release the buttons and the device will power itself back up. Then try the link from your email.

To all experiencing burn issues since updating to last version of iTunes

To all that have been experiencing difficulties burning music since updating to iTunes6:
After reviewing this discussion board it seems obvious to me -I am not a technician but nonetheless- that the problems that we are experiencing are due to some kind of incompatibility between our PCs and Apple.
While some here have been very helpful in trying to resolve these issues, I find it disgusting that Apple does nothing. Itunes customer support do nothing. We are left to fend for ourselves, frustrated by the amount of money we have invested in building up our music collections in order fot them to be held hostage because Apple and/or iTunes will not address the issue.
Did anybody bother reading the software license upon updateing to the earliest version? Is it too early to talk of "class action" suits?
It seems logical to me that we will be heard better by Apple if we speak as a collective and not individuals. Maybe that way we could put more pressure on them to either fix what needs to be fixed or refund the money we have invested in iTunes.
As for me, iTunes has already lost me as a client. I won't download any more music because there is nothing I can do with it. That doesn't seem to matter to them. I suppose this is what happens when you get too big for your own britches!
Any ideas on how we can take down the bully????

Lost data from iTunes on upgrade? See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
Restored an older backup to the device? If you're lucky your most recent photos may be in your Photo Steam.
Otherwise you may need to paint a fuller picture of the problem...

Late 2013 MBP w/Retina Battery Charging Issue since update to 10.10.2

I don't know if this is due to the update to OS X 10.10.2, or if it's just coincidence, but ever since updating, my battery has had issues charging.
When I plug into an outlet, the indicator in the menubar shows that it's plugged in, light on the power cord doesn't light up (not amber, not green, nothing) and the percentage estimate for power remaining doesn't increase at all, no matter how long I'm plugged in for.
I thought it maybe had to do with more things being plugged into the powerstrip, so I tried plugging into an directly into a wall outlet, but that was no use.
The only way to get the battery to start charging again is to restart AND zap the PRAM; clearly this isn't optimal...
Is any one experiencing this type of issue as well? Any hints or ideas as to how to fix it?
Thank you!
