How do I have my iphone (3gs) override the desktop address book when syncing with iTunes?
My desktop address book is incorrect and I can't seem to restore it from time machine. My iphone contacts are correct. How can I have the iphone override the desktop address bookwhen I sync it with iTunes?
For some reason during the sync it finally asked me what to do about the conflict - it hadn't asked me before. So problem has been fixed. Thanks.

I have an iPhone 3GS and I cannot sync my calendar on the phone with my iCloud calendar. Is this a result of the iOS 7 software updates?
Have you logged into icloud on the iphone? Have you turned on Calendar in settings>icloud? Are you able to connect the iphone with other services on icloud, like contacts?

I'm having problem in syncing apps in itunes.
Would these be the iLife apps that are preinstalled on new Macs?
There is supposed to be a process of accepting these apps into your Apple ID account.
1. Be sure that you have enetered your iTunes/Mac App Store (MAS) Apple ID in System Prefs/Users & Groups/Password.
2. Open the MAS and sign into your account.
3. Check the Purchased pane, the apps should be listed with Accept buttons.
4. Accept the apps.
After accepting the apps you should be able to update them. If they are not listed on the Purchased pane of the MAS then I would return with the Mac to place of purchase and enlist their aid in getting the apps into your MAS account. -
Got iPhone 6 plus, lost almost all apps when synced with iTunes?? Won't completely back up/restore??
I got a an iPhone 6 plus last night and tried to restore it over iTunes (I backed up my 5s last night just before upgrading). The restore seemed to go fine as always but then an error message came up saying 40 of my apps, the ones I use the most of course, could not be found. None them will show up on my phone at all now. I spent ours trying to get them back on my phone through iTunes to no avail. I went ahead and downloaded them again through the App Store as they were still in the Cloud (I guess?) but now I'm afraid to sync to and back up my phone at all as I don't want to have to do this each time. My Macbook Pro is getting old so I am wondering if I should just start syncing to my husband's newer iMac? But then again, how do I sync to a new computer without losing everything on my phone??
Hi Since ios 7 everything can be done over WiFi you don't need to use your PC When you charge your iPhone it Automatically backs up to iCloud. I would Restore iPhone back to Factory Settings Do this over your WiFi. We have 2 iPhones & 3 iPads and have not used a PC for over a year Sometimes using a PC causes problems it puts things on you don't want. Cheers Brian

How to encrypt the iPod's content when syncing with iTunes?
I can't find the way to encrypt the iPod's content. For example, how to make a password that people have to enter when they connect my iPod with iTunes before they can see all the stuff that's in my iPod appeared in iTunes?
Passcodes and Data Protection
You can set a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up
iPod touch.
Set a passcode: Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit
passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPod touch then requires you to
enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection (iPod touch 3rd generation). Data
protection uses your passcode as the key for encrypting mail messages and their
attachments stored on iPod touch. (Data protection may also be used by some
applications available in the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the Passcode Lock
screen indicates when data protection is enabled.
To increase the security of iPod touch, turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer
passcode with a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters.
See “Passcode Lock” on page 139.
Important: On iPod touch 3rd generation, you must also restore iOS software to
enable data protection.

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.
Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes
How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?
Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing. -
My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes. when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone. How do i fix this?
Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...
I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync. Is there any way to repair? Or, at least is there a way to charge so I can write down phone numbers and othe rinformation. My power charge is totally out right now.
If it will not turn on - you have zero chance of getting anything off the phone.

i have an iphone 3gs and everytime i try to restore it on itunes it just keeps saying an unknown erroe has occured (29) can anyone help me with this??
Hello Laura,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that has information about Error 29:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help! I didn't have this problem before. I am listening via the speakers of my stereo. I have done that before but never had a problem like this before.
Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you? -
I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I have an IPhone 5 and the bluetooth will not stay connected with my 2011 Chrysler 200. I was told by Chrysler service department that it is a problem with the IPhone 5. Is there an update or a fix so i can use the bluetooth in my vehicle?
Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work. It is already unlocked. Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.
