Downloaded iOS 6 to my iphone 3gs it powers on and then crashes

Downloaded iOS6 on my iphone 3gs and it fully downloaded but when it rebooted it kept powering on giving the Apple logo, but then it flickers and turns off

I've used the 'self' updater (not used iTunes) and it does pretty much what you describe.

    Contact the carrier to which it was locked before it was hacked, and enquire if they will unlock it.  Not all carriers offer unlocking and those that do usually have requirements such as that you are a current or former customer in good standing.

  • Downloaded iOS 6 onto my iPhone 3GS. Can't download new apps but I can update apps??

    Since updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 yesterday I haven't been able to download new apps. I can still update apps, but when I try downloading a new app I put in my password when prompted, it says installing for a few moments and the loading bar appears. But it never starts to load (no blue in the install bar) and then just stops and the app is displaying as if I've never installed it. Anyone else had this and does anykne know how to fix it?
    Thanks

    If you're using an iPhone 4 as it says in your profile, you're not supposed to have Siri after updating to iOS6

  • I have downloaded ios 6 but my iphone 3gs is doing nothing. IT WILL not activate help!

    my iphone 3gs will not activate following an ios 6 update? Itunes will not recognise it either, any ideas??

    Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
    it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
    I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect.

  • I just downloaded iOS 6 onto my iphone 3gs.

    I no longer use this phone as an actual phone but instead as an iPod. Every time I connect to wifi I get this popup that asks me to login and loads a page that says page not found in a safari pop up.

    Same problem here but I found a workaround.
    Go ahead and tap on the network that you want to join
    As soon as the checkmark appears next to the network jame that you are joining hit the home button.
    This worked for me and I am now connected to my AirPort Express.  It would seem this is a serious bug in IOS 6 that needs to be worked out fairly quickly.  It seems like ever since OSX Lion that Apple has been turning into Microsoft with their super buggy releases of operating systems.  This is why I am still on Snow Leopard.
    Anyway... Give it a shot.  Worked for me.

  • So, I downloaded the iOS7 on my iPhone 4 just using WiFi and then it said to connect it to iTunes.

    When I did that it told me to restore my phone and after I did that it installed the updates all over again I ejected it and now it's stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. And I don't know how to get it off. PLEASE HELP

    My daughter's iphone 4 went out two weeks ago and got stuck in the restore process before the upgrade.  She only had the 8 gb and it seems it is now just stuck.  We have been unable to fix it even after doing the whole itunes and trying to restore as new.  The only other option now if for apple to look at it but not sure if that can even help it.

  • My iPhone 3GS just turned off and then when it started to turn on all these words came up. what do i do now?

    I had just woken up and looked at my ipone i answered a few texts and after i did that it just went black then the apple sign came up and it started to turn on after about 5 seconds of the apple sign all these words came up like rows of sofware information but all over it says panic and on the bottom in brigter bold letters it says panic: We are hanging here...550 far: 0x i have tried plugging my iphone into iTunes but it isnt connected i dont know what to do

    This can be caused by faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take the iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

    You mean for an iPhone 4S?  You can't.  Yo can only update an iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.3.
    The only iPhone that can currently download iOS 6 is an iPhone 3GS.

    This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting.  Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
    Change DNS Servers
    Settings -> Wi-Fi
    Click the blue arrow on your connected network
    Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Try again
    If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
    On your Mac
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
    You can use OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    or
    You can Google Public DNS if you want
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.

  • Downloaded iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and cant connect to airport utility.  speakers still work wirelessly from computer so i know it isnt the wiifii connection.  shows everything is connected but when i play a song on itunes the icon doesnt show up for airpor

    I downloaded ios 7 on my iphone 4s and cant play itunes from my iphone to my speakers through airport utility.  it shows im connected thro wifii.  i can play the speakers wirelessly from itunes on my computer so i know its my phone since ios 7 downloaded.  even the icons on the song that turn on the speakers are missing.  what do i have to do to get it back?  Ive deleted airport utility and reinstalled it.  i shutdown my phone and the airport base and wifii and restarted everything.  nothing seems to b helping.

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!
