Can iphone 3GS sych w/o computer connection?

have subscribed to iCloud & iTunes match - MBPro okay...iPhone 3GS not syching...can it synch wirelessly or does it have to be connected to laptop or desktop? IOS5.1 loaded...

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you say sync, I assume you mean your contacts, calendars etc. Yes your phone should be able to sync these without being connected to the computer. Have you enabled iCloud on your phone and turned on contact syncing, calendar syncing etc.

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

    Hi,
    can you provide a bit more detail, as can you use the 3G network to access the web, and what security is your wireless using?

    Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

  • Iphone 3GS 4.3.3 BT-connection to BMW Mini is bouncing since update

    Hello,
    since the update to iOS 4.3.3 (8J2) of my iphone 3GS 32G the Bluetooth connection to my BMW Mini Cooper S 2006 is bouncing. I´ve already resetted the whole iPhone 3GS telefon AND the Bluetooth connection of the car. The Linking to the car is working fine but the telefon looses the connection after 10 seconds again, and reconnects - looses - reconnects......
    The BT-Connection to a Nokia Device is steady and working fine.
    Has anybody a solution for this prob ?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is a way to downgrade if you connect to shirks server and manually download 4.3x ipsw. Just do a search in google for 'downgrade3gs to iOS 4.x.x' hope this helps

  • I have an iphone 3gs, when I try to connect to my home wi-fi the phone goes thru the motions, finds the network but can't lock it in.  The check mark next to the network flashes a few times then the phone goes serching again and the same thing happens.

    I have an Iphone 3gs wi-fi problem.  When I try to access my home wi-fi network the phone looks for the network, finds it, but cannot lock it in.  The check mark flashes a few times then the phone tries again to connect.  This only happens with my home wi-fi.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.  I have re-booted the phone and the router without any luck.

    SOLUTION! 
    I've been suffering from this problem for a few months.  I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea. 
    I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away.  The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router. 
    Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what?  I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes!  Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
    I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work.  Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case?  In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
    By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

  • Can iphone 3gs synchronize sms messages to a computer?

    a friend of mine insisted that over 1600 sms messages in her 3gs iphone was copied by someone when she downloaded pics from her iphone to that person's computer. she said the whole transfer took less than 10 seconds, both pics and messages, and was done during one single synchronization.
    i use an original iphone on a pc notebook, so i have no idea if a 3gs iphone can synchronize that fast to a macbook. frankly speaking, i don't even know of such a feature where sms messages would be downloaded automatically. can someone please enlighten me if this is possible, or if my friend was pulling my legs. thanks.

    Well, pictures can be imported if they are in the camera roll to someone's computer, however SMS can only be copied with some third party software. I've never used it, however, so I couldn't tell you anything about speed. I cannot see it being done in 10 seconds, unless that was just for a picture or two, and even that would take more than 10 seconds.

  • Why does Itunes not recognize my iphone 3GS on any windows computer?

    I have had my Iphone for a little while now and itunes on my computer was working and the phone was doing fine except that the usb wall charger would not charge my phone in less i plugged the phone in first, turned it off, then turned it back on and then the wall charger would work correctly. This was more irritating then anything and I had read on the internet that updateing to 4.3.1 would fix the issue. So I was using iOS 4.2.1 on my iphone 3GS and decided to go ahead and update to 4.3.1, after doing so itunes (newest version) will not recognize my Iphone no matter which computer I plug it into (I have tried 3 other computers, 2 of which run Windows 7 64 bit and the other running Windows XP 32 bit). I have tried reinstalling the newest version of itunes on 2 different computers which included deleteing ALL folders and/or files related to apple, itunes, quicktime, or any other program that i may of had on that computer. I also uinstalled the apple mobile device driver in Device Manager to try to see if that would fix the issue at the same time. None of that worked on either PC. I then tried connecting my Iphone to a computer I had never had it on period. This computer also never had itunes or quicktime on it so i figured this would be a fresh start. I again installed the newest version of itunes and then connected my Iphone to that computer for the first time, which again resulted in not working. My last try was connecting my Iphone into my brothers computer that already had itunes on it, and he has a ipod in which he has used on that computer many times, his ipod still connects and itunes recognize's it just fine, however again itunes would not recognize my iphone. Next I thought maybe if I put my iphone into recovery mode and then connect it to my computer itunes would find it, which would correct the problem after I exited recovery mode. Yet again to no avail, and i tried this on all 4 computers as well... Lastly I tried to just reset my iphone and let it come up while connected to the computer, but sadly, to no avail.
    So obviously my conclusion is what ever is causing this problem is most likely located directly on the iphone itself, seeing as I have tried it on multiple computers one of which itunes and the phone had never been on, 2 of which I have previously used for my iphone on iOS 4.2.1 and another of which was my brothers which he had used for his ipod. However I do not know how to fix (if I even can) this issue so that I can once again use itunes with my iphone.
    Oh, and lastly... updateing from 4.2.1 to 4.3.1 did not fix the usb wall charger issue... After all of the above all I achieved was to add another problem to the table of which previously consisted of a problem that was simply irritating and annoying.
    Thanks in advance for any advice and/or solutions that may lead me to resolving this issue.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my iPhone 3GS to my new computer (old computer died)

    I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB with 20GB of music on it from a previous computer's iTunes library.  I bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio with Windows 7) and downloaded iTunes (v10.5.3.3 and latest iOS on the iPhone).  iTunes lets me transfer purchases back to the laptop but not non-purchased material (i.e. stuff I imported from CDs I own).  Is there any way of transferring ALL the material back to the new laptop without re-copying every CD again?
    I tried to follow the manual management option, but Windows Explorer only recognises my iPhone as Internal Storage for the camera files.
    I spent hours today reading forums/communities to help me overcome the problem and to avoid asking a repeat question but nothing seems to have worked.  I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem.
    Thanks

    " iTunes lets me transfer purchases back to the laptop but not non-purchased material (i.e. stuff I imported from CDs I own)."
    That is correct.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  the iphone is not a backup device and does not function as a storage drive.
    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.n  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

    I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect  any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

    Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
    Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
    Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
    Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen!

    I just got my iphone 3gs yesterday. The guy at the AT&t store told me to update it. Yesterday it didnt work, but today it did. I followed all the directions i've got it set up to the wifi. When it came to the "Set up iPhone" screen i selected itunes backup. I had it backed up and everything already on my computer. The next screen was the connect to iTunes screen. I plugged it in and it synced and i could see the little sync icon on the bar at the top of my phone. It won't let me off the screen now. I've tried plugging it in almost 10 times and it still wont let me off the screen. I would like to not have to set it up as a new iPhone if possible. Any suggestions?

    Nevermind. i reset it. Thanks a lot people.

    I do have this experience of electric shocks few days ago. My phone was not dropped before. While it is still charging using the USB cable through my notebook, i picked it up and touches the volumn button, i got a shock. Not sure whats wrong too.
    Do you still get a shock if it is charging from the laptop when the laptop is not connect to power?
