double tap with 3 fingers. You've accidentally activated the ZOOM mode. I've included a link to the User Guide. Read it to learn how to disable the feature permanently.

HT3574 is there any application that can help my iphone 3GS with personal hotspot or tethering internet?

is there any application that can help my iphone 3GS with personal hotspot or tethering internet?

You don't need anything, as such is built directly into the iOS. Your carrier, however, needs to support such.

hi i need sum help plzzz, iphone 3gs blackscreen and tryed evrything but wont kick out of dfu mode , much apreicated plz, it just happen wen i was restoring the screen is balck but wen i restore it from itunes it says erorr 1600 and itunes does not reconise the phone , i have tryed eveything bt still no luck , I NEED UR HELP PLZZZ ,its my disabled daughters thank you

Anyone on this forum can correct me if I am wrong. I am not judging you, but to my knowledge the iTunes error 1600 usually affects products that are jailbroken. again I am not saying that your iPhone 3GS was jailbroken. my only advise off the top of my head to assist you is to download the recent IOS firmware online. I know it is not the the #1 advised option, but it is the only option you have unless you wish to bring it to the Apple Genius bar and see if they can replace the phone or fix it themselves.

Help,my Iphone 3gs is very slow on ios5

Help,my Iphone 3gs 16Gb is very slow on ios5!
What can I do to get al the speed there is (if any)?

Same thing for me. I hit a button and then it's waiting, waiting, waiting. Now my iCal on my phone is totally hung up and not working. I've just posted about it - I don't know how to fix it so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I haven't moved to iCloud. I heard that could be disastrous. My battery drains really fast now, too. I just wish I could go back to the previous s/w level because everything was working perfectly then.

HT201263 plz help me iphone 3gs not open

plz help me iphone 3gs not open

Hello gurpreet17,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following steps 2-6 for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
Gary

1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

Can you help unlocking iPhone 3gs

I have been in touch with iTunes and I was informed that iPhone 3gs which I bought from EBay over 3-4 years ago is looked on 02 UK, I got in touch with 02UK and my son bought me a credit £20 so 02 UK can unlock my iPhone 3gs remotely and afterward I was informed I should have made a phone call from UK and I made it clear I live in Ireland? Guess what happened? Nothing happened I wasted phone calls to 02 UK and £20 credit, what you call that just ripe off
Will iTunes Ireland can help? I hope so
Regards to all

You are right? I am wishful thinking and bit slow? Apple cannot unlock the old phone sorry i have displayed that I been so simple and slow

Can anyone help? iPhone 3gs stuck in loop.

Hi,
My iphone 3gs had a little accident with water, it has since dried out and had a new battery. However it now decides to show the Apple logo and then turn itself off thus not being recognised by iTunes in order for me to conduct a full restore. Have tried holding the home and power button together to stop the loop but to no avail. Can anyone help? Otherwise my phone may be flyng as well as having had a swim!
Many thanks.

You could have gotten an out of warranty replacement phone for the liquid damage. Unfortunately, as soon as the phone was opened up, it became ineligible for the OOW replacement program.
Either the water damage did more than just hose the battery, or whoever replaced the battery borked the phone big time.

Help with iPhone 3GS (not restoring, seems to be in loop)

Good morning!
My phone has not warranty and before taking the next step of having to replace it I would like to read your suggestions or possible solutions for the problems I'm experiencing with my iPhone:
I have an iPhone 3GS that fell into a cup of coffee. It didn't submerge completely and I was able to open it and dry it very quickly. When I opened it only the dock connection was wet (nothing on the battery or the motherboard). Either way I made sure to check every connection and made sure no coffee drops were left on the inside of the device.
Here are the issues I've encountered since then:
1. Afterwards I check the phone by plugin it into the wall charger. I turned on, screen looked OK and I was even prompted with the "Enter passcode" screen. I entered the password and immediately the screen went black and reset to the Apple logo. So long as I had the phone charging through the wall charger the Apple logo will constantly appear. No longer the password screen will show up and the phone seemed to be in a loop that started and ended with the blinking Apple logo. Once unplugged from the wall the iPhone will turn off and make no sound or show any signs of turning on again.
2. When connecting to the computer on the first attempt the iPhone will enter recovery mode (showing the connector and iTunes logo) and be recognized by both the computer and iTunes. iTunes will then prompt me to do a restore of the phone. I will follow the steps and "Restore and update" my iPhone. After "extracting the software" and "Verifying with Apple" to start the installation iTunes will prompt me with an error (I've repeated this step several times so there are several different errors I've encountered. Some of the errors include: 20, 21, 3194, 1600, 2001, 2003). After receiving the error iTunes will eject and no longer recognize the device. The iPhone (still connected to the computer) will no longer show the "Recovery Mode" logos and will start working in a loop (blinking Apple logo that appears to turn on and off as in a loop). The computer (device manager) will not recognize the iPhone either (no USB or ports showing the iPhone is still connected).
My iPhone is not unlocked or jailbroken. Before the incident with the coffee I managed to synchronize and update its firmware as indicated by iTunes. The latest update for my iPhone was 5.0.1. firmware. My intent is not to unlock or jailbrake the device, just to make it work again.
Here are some things I've tried since:
1. Exiting recovery mode via iReb, Tinyumbrella
2. Entering DFU mode via iReb, Sn0wbreeze,
3. Shift + Restore and using firmwares from 3.0 to 5.0 to downgrade or upgrade my iPhone.
4. Add new hosts to my Host file
5. Try sn0wbreeze and use IPSW to see if it is recognized by iTunes (iTunes recognizes the iPhone but then at the very last minute shows error 20, 21, 3194 or 1600.
6. Save SHSH files and use Tinyumbrella to uploaded them to my iPhone.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. I might be doing something wrong or maybe not even considering the right steps to solve this issue. I don't know if there are missing drivers that are preventing the device from communicating with iTunes properly. Of some tool that can be used to correct this problem. It may or may not be fixable but I think it is worth the try.
Thanks very much.

I have the exact same problem as you (minus the coffee incident) where the phone just turned off. Tried everything you have too and now the above link is showing a 404 page... Can you help me out?

Help with iphone 3gs backlight

My Iphone 3gs backlight just stopped working. I can still see that everything is still working but the backlight is just dead. I tried resetting it and recharging it but the backlight still does not come back when I turn the phone back on or touch the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and especially after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem.

HELP! Iphone 3GS automatically shutsdown itself

My Iphone 3GS is having some issues that when i'm charging it, it takes too much time like 4-5 hours(i'll charge it from 45% to 100% becase it automatically shutsdown when reached 40-50% battery life), then when i'm using it, it only last 2hours. Then if the problem is the battery, when i'm playing games or taking photos it only shuts off at 40-50% battery life? but if i'm not using it, it can still last until 40% battery? Weird Someone help me please? I can't even see the warning of 20% or 10% battery life remaining

You're welcome, enjoy the new smaller view.

Help Unlock iphone 3gs from Moscow Russia

Good afternoon. At me here such problem. One and a half years ago
To me have brought from England and have presented iphone 3gs with contract O2. How to me to make оффициальную an unblocking iphone that I could use sim cards of local communications service providers? I live in Russia, the city of Moscow. To go to England and to make there an unblocking at operator О2 I have no possibility. To do джейлбрейк and to put unlock I don't want!!! Help please.
In advance many thanks also excuse me for my English.
P.s. Still a problem with a sound. Silently sounds динамик at calls and music listening.

No problems with your English - my Russian would be much worse.
If you have paid your full contract period with O2 in the UK, then they may be willing to unlock it for you. They can charge £15 I believe but its free if you are still inside your contract term.
There is no other legal way for the phone to be unlocked - Apple will not do it for you.
If you still have your contract details, then you can go to the O2 website and chat with an operator there.
If you do not have the details then you are probably stuck as you are.

Confirm that:

You have selected to sync ringtones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync preferences
You have check marks next to the ringtones you want to sync
You have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
That the file is actually a ringtone (right-click on the file, select "Get Info", on the Summary tab it should say "Kind: Ringtone". ("Account Name:" will tell your the Apple ID used to purchase it for the first point above.)
