HT1386 Help syncing a iPhone 3GS so I can upgrade to a iPhone 4S
I have a iPhone 3GS that I am about to upgrade to a iPhone 4S. I am still using version 4.0.1 since I am always skittish about changing anything. The most important things that I need saved are my Contacts, Calendars, and Notes. I upgraded to a newer PC and I don't think that I can sync all the same options as I could before. I am using iTunes 10.6.3.25. I want to be sure that I can transfer my Contacts, Calendars, and Notes t the new phone. Any help will be ppreciated!!
That's not a problem bro... all you need to do is to hold on your power bottom for 3 sec. (keep hold) after hold your home bottom for 7 sec. (with your power bottom). after 7 sec. release power bottom (only) and keep hold press your home bottom. then DFU mode... now you can update the latest software,,, keep watching youtube for more info.

I have imported contacts from Outlook to Mail and they have synced via iCloud to my iPhone 3GS. I can't get my iPhone to make a call using these contacts (it tries but then says call ended) but if I dial the number of any of the contacts on the keypad, the call DOES work! Help me please - is there something I need to do to the contacts because tehy came from Outlook? Thanks
Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

I cant find software update in my iphone 3GS. How can i update my iphone to ios6? Please guide me on this
Connect iPhone to syncing computer.
Start iTunes on computer.
If there is an update available, it will prompt you. -
I would like to delete the new device and just sync the iPhone 4 with all the info that was on the 3GS.
You can get the photos by importing them from your 3GS to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and then syncing them back to your iPhone 4. Your music should already be in your iTunes library if you have been syncing the 3GS with your computer so all you would need to do is select to Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your iPhone 4 to transfer it to you new phone. But there is no way for iTunes to see your iPhone 4 as your iPhone 3GS; it will see it as a different device no matter what you do.

I have an Iphone 3GS. I can't get it to sync. Every time I try I get the response 'waiting for changes to be applied'. I do not have voice memos. Any suggestions?
This is a user forum, not a channel to address Adobe. As your fellow users and volunteers, we'll be happy to help you if we can.
You can download the CS6 trial version just like anybody else.
Once you download it, you can install it, input your serial number, register it and apply all necessary updates.
An alternative, if you know how to access your Adobe account, under My Products you'll find your Photoshop CS6 registration, next to which you should find a link to download CS6 if you originally bought it as a download -
I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

Hey Nathan,
I know it can be a bit frustrating to try to get a version of an application that will work on an older iOS version. This article explains how to do it -
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My iphone 3gs is lost, can i find with the help of itunes?
my iphone 3gs is lost
can i find with the help of itunes?With iTunes, no.
If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly.
Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

Buying 2nd hand iPhone 3GS. How can I tell it's not a 3G?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but never had/used an iPhone before. Thinking about buying a second hand iPhone 3GS.
How can I tell if it's a 8gb, 16gb or 32gb and how can I tell it's not an iPhone 3G?
ThanksSpiface,
If you can get a look at the back of the phone, here are some things to look for:
Is the Writing on the back of the phone in Silver or in Grey?
If it is Silver, then it is a 3GS.
16GB and 32GB models have the storage capacity printed on their backs. The current 8GB model does not have any storage capacity printed on its back, although you can still identify it as a 3GS if it has silver print.
Hope this helps,

MY IPHONE 3GS LOST HOW CAN I TRACE
MY IPHONE 3GS LOST HOW CAN I TRACE
If you turned on Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost you can to to icloud.com on your computer, sing into your iCloud account, tap the green radar icon (which is Find My iPhone). If it's connected to the internet the location will be displayed on the map and you can remote lock it, remote wipe, send a message to it, etc. See Find My iPhone here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/.
If you didn't enable Find My iPhone before it was lost, there is no way to track it. -
My iphone 3gs Wi-Fi can't pick up any network, even signal is high.
My iphone 3gs Wi-fi can't pick up any network, even signal is high. Please help. Thx!
I don't know if it was jailbroken, I bought it new, we don't have an Apple Shop here in Algeria to buy iPhones nor any other Apple's product. All products are not officially open for Algeria, Now, I think that it was jealbroken, I realized that now, I think it's not my fault to buy a jealbroken product -without knowing that- it's Apple's fault! why they don't open an Apple shop everywhere in the world like its rivals DID?!
I hope it'll not be broken permanently.
Thanks a lot Radiation Mac! ^_^ -
I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS. How can I transfer all my apps including saved levels in games etc. and data and folders to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. When I have done this for someone else they got all their data etc but lost the Face Time App and teh iphone 4 looked like the iphone 3 screen.
There is no FaceTime app for the iphone, FaceTime is built into the iOS. Follow the directions here:

I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.
ThanksThe Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.
