Going from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5 and Mac OSX Tiger
Hello,
I currently have one of the first Intel Mac Book Pro's running OSX Tiger. I also have a 3GS running ios 4.1 which I'm about to upgrade to the iPhone 5.
What is the best way to back-up/transfer my contacts/txt's/etc from my 3GS to my 5? I can't run the latest version of iTunes and eventually this year I will upgrade to a new iMac which would solve the problem...but for now I would like to transfer all my data over.
Thanks,
Mike
The problem with that is my current iphone is running ios 4.1 and my laptop is running tiger so I don't have icloud. Without upgrading to snow leopard and then to lion/mountian lion to get icloud is there any other option?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?
Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Return the phone and get your money back. That phone was hacked and is now permanently damaged. -

How to I transfer my Itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac?
How do i transfer my itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac? My old laptop died so I am unable to access my itunes on my computer but would like to retrieve the songs I purchased previously.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well. Another reason a backup copy is critical. If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then you should get the option to merge the data. -
We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!
If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe. Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother. Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing. Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields. However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud. Follow the prompts from there.
In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe. Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go. -
IPhone 3GS camera freezes and/or restarts iOS 5
I have updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS5 and now it will not take photos. When I try to do so the screen goes black with the grey pinwheel and the phone goes back to the desktop screen. It has rendered my camera useless.
What Troubleshooting Steps have you tried...?
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

MMS video from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 3G
I know we can send pictures from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 3G, but can we send videos from 3GS to 3G. I wonder because the 3G doesn't have the video feature and therefore, I suspect it won't be able to play the video. Someone knows anything about this?
Thanks in advancethe 3G doesn't have a video RECORDING feature..... why would that prevent the 3G from being able to play videos? playing videos and capturing/recording videos are two completely different things.
you suspect wrong. -

Transfer apps from iphone 3GS to iphone 4
I am upgrading from iphone 3GS to iphone 4. I have several applications and music which I have bought from apple store with my appleID. Can these apps be moved to iphone 4 if I use the same appleID... or do I need to repeat these purchases again?
You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups. When you get your new phone, you can either restore it from the backup of your 3GS or set it up as new, the choice is yours. Afterwards, just plug it in an sync.

I just bought a (used) Iphone 3gs for wife and it had angry birds and $89 Navigation on it (I paid extra for it). Once updated and logged into my I-tunes it no longer works? How can I make those apps work?
Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

I bought iPhone 3GS(Used) recently and updated ios 6.1.3 my iPhone is taking blurry Pictures through basic default Cam app.Can anybody please let me know any solution for this?
Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
