Help with using iPhone 3GS on tiger 10.4.11?

I have seen other people using Tiger, but when i try to connect my iPhone 3GS to iTunes, i get an error saying that This iPhone cannot be used. Must have 10.5 or higher. Am I missing a driver or something? Others have claimed to have used Tiger.

+*Mac system requirements*+
+*Mac computer with USB 2.0 port*+
+*_Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later_*+
+iTunes 8.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)+
+iTunes Store account+
+Internet access+
What is the exact error message?
A potential problem may be if your Mac has USB 1.1 ports instead of USB 2.0 ports, and I believe it does. It may be possible to sync an iPhone via a USB 1.1 port but not without potential problems. USB 1.1 is not supported. USB 2.0 is supported.

Can anyone help with my iphone 3gs activation?

Hi, I am trying to get help with my iphone 3gs. It's not being activated.

Find some place that will provide support for illegally unlocked phones, or if you decide that you don't want to do something illegal, get it unlocked legally, through the carrier it's locked to.

If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes
Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

Hi i need help with my iphone 3gs

Then the previous owner has already made all the accounts that are possible to make from that device.
As KiltedTim says, you will have to use another Apple device to create an iCloud for yourself.
Once you have created the account, you can use it on that device, but you cannot create any more accounts with that device, ever.

Help with using Iphone with NEW computer

I have a new computer and want to use my iphone with it. I dont have any songs on the new one and cannot transfer them however i can eventually rebuild my song list. What i want to know is when i sync my iphone to my new computer i no that means it will put whatevers in my library on it but when it comes to settings, applications, photos, sms messages what happens with those, will it just erase everything? Im just a little confused with everything.
Help would be much appreciated! :-D thanks

Yep... everything will be gone because the computer will think it's a new iPhone.
You can download the applications from the AppStore again for free, but your music will be lost. Consider using an application like ifunbox to copy the music from your iPhone to the PC before installing iTunes.

I have tried to reset even by pressing sleep and home button but it could not help. Please suggest. Still i have connected for charging .

Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.

Using iPhone 3GS with Apple Universal Dock

I want to get the Apple Universal Dock to use with my iPhone 3GS. The main purpose of this, at this time, is to hook up the iPhone to my living room speakers (computer speakers) to listen to music.
I know I could just use a mini stereo cable to hook up the dock to the aux-in on the speakers, and then be able to control everything with remotes. However, this would require plugging and unplugging the cable each time so that if I wanted to switch to watch TV the speakers would output the correct audio. Sorry if that is confusing.
The other option I'm thinking about is using the Apple Component AV Cable to hook up the dock to my TV, which outputs to the computer speakers, that way it could always stay connected and I can switch inputs with the remote. MY QUESTION IS WHAT WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE TV IF I AM JUST USING THE IPHONE FOR MUSIC AND NOT VIDEOS? Will it show a visualizer like with iTunes, album artwork, nothing? Please answer from personal experience. Thank you for your help.

I am using iphone 3gs can it be support with icloud ?

in november 2010 i buy mobileme ID so now it became free,
and i am using iphone 3gs now it is showing not applicable with this device,
so, what can i do now,
my current ios is 4.3.3..

You need to setup the account using the MobileMe ID you chose when signing up for the service.
It will be in form of an @me.com email address e.g. [email protected]
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone_ipod.html
You can't setup a full MobileMe account using a different Apple ID, such as the one you may use for these forums or the iTunes Store.
