Connecting iMac with iPhone 3GS

I'm having trouble getting my iMac to connect with my iPhone 3GS. Neither will even recognize the other. Can someone help?
Thank you!

Same problem here with an iPhone 3G and iMac and iBook.
Not living in US I am indeed able to Tethering Internet with Bluetooth. At least I suppose, because my iPhone asked for it few time but I never did it.
I feel frustrating if the function of Bluetooth on an iPhone is locked to do that only.
Then I would say Bluetooth is much more easy to use for a short document transfer (like a single picture) then Sync which has anyway an other goal.
I find the Sync function via iTunes far from satisfactorily. It still impossible a.e to choose a direction for the Sync function. In consequences, most of the time, some data will be erased though you want to keep it too.
By putting unjustified limits Apple encourage the jailbreak.

  • Connectivity issue with iPhone 3GS and Time capsule 7.6.1

    I've upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule. Now i have WiFi connectivity problems with my iPhone 3GS. My iMac and two iPads (version 1 & 2) are doing fine.
    Very strange in this situation is when I at a rare moments are able to connect my iphone to the wifi my iPad2 connection falls out. But after a minute or 2 the system disconnects my iphone and reconnect my ipad.
    For info: I'm using an iMac 27" 3.4 Intel Core i7 with Mac OS 10.7.3 - all software is updated.
    Thanks for reaction

    The iphone is very sensitive to channel selection..
    Open the airport utility manual settings.. Go to the wireless.. change its name to something simple without spaces.. TC24 would do nicely.
    Set the wireless to b/g a/n so it works with everything .. not auto.
    And set the channels manually.. 2.4ghz (which iphone uses) set channel to either 1, 6, 11.. these are the only channels that do not overlap..
    Try and see if the iphone connects..
    Set security.. WPA2 personal and put in a suitable key.. pure alphanumeric no spaces.

  • Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

    Sorry,
    I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
    Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks,
    I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

  • I have very strange problem with Iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Please help!

    I have very strange problem with iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree or above temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Whenever I am using Skype or playing game for a while it losses carrier signals and wifi. When it is cooled down afer shutting down the carrier signals and wifi are back. It is for sure problem is with heating, but 30 degree tempeature in Oman is normal and some time it goes upto 50 degrees. I have noticed this has started after I started using substandard charger as I lost my original charger of the phone. Please help!! Thanx.

    The specifications define an operating range up to 35 degrees.
