HT201269 iphone 3g ios4.2.1

I have the older iphone 3g running its latest ios 4.2.1 Many updated apps require 4.3 or higher. Can I download older versions of these apps, if so how?

Sorry, if not available in iTunes, there is no way to get them.

Hello Zeeshan Siddique,
The steps below detail how to go about setting a wallpaper on your iPhone.
Wallpaper
You can set a photo as wallpaper for the Lock screen or for the Home screen.
Set a photo as wallpaper:
1 Choose any photo and tap , then tap Use As Wallpaper.
2 Drag the photo to position it and pinch to zoom in or out, until it looks the way
you want.
3 Tap Set, then choose whether you want to use the photo as wallpaper for your Lock
Screen, Home screen, or both.
You can also choose from several wallpaper pictures included with iPhone by choosing

IPhone 3G IOS4.0.1 restore errors

I'm trying to restore iphone3G to 4.0.1 from last 2 days but every time i got errors related to USB. errors like 2003,2005,2009,14 etc. believe me i tried almost every form. every time i plug my Iphone3G to PC it says "This device can perform faster please plug this in hi-speed USB 2.0 port". i tried all my USB ports but nops. and yes i have Enhanced USB 2.0 port according to my XP hardware device manager.
some times ITunes got my IPhone and start restoring IPhone with IOS4.0.1 but got error(described above) in very initial phase of of restoring.
here are the solutions i already tried
1) i change IPhone data cable (4 cables exact )
2) try to restore IPhone on 3 different computers XP SP2 all.
3) Already read all try Apple USB troubleshooting (try different USB ports, security software bla bla bla)
4) Reinstall iTunes several times
5) try many times in DFU + Recovery mode.
6) i updated my Bios and motherboard driver too.
here is the conclusion of problem i thought can be. every time i plug IPhone it is associated with normal USB1.0 i think if it some how associated with USB2.0 then my problem solved but i tried all USB ports.
c'mon pros tell me some thing. and last thing i can not visit IPhone store because I'm in Pakistan for next 2 months where no Apple support is available.

Same issue with me, and it's very frustrating. My Macbook can see and attempt to pair with my iPhone 3GS, but my phone doesn't seem to want to play ball. I never had this problem until I upgraded to IOS 4.1 (it may have existed in IOS 4, but I just never noticed). Any word on a fix for this? Um, Apple, I'd like to tether my phone again please!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order.

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
About=>Carrier?

Depending on where you are located at, some governments have required Apple to disable the Facetime ability in their countries.

HT201269 How do i transfer iphone 5 ios7 contacts/calender to iphone 3gs ios4.2.1?

My iphone5 has been rubbish and completely died after 13mths so have gone back to my old faithful iphone 3gs. Although I have been able to transfer my pics and music, I can't fathom out how to move my contacts and calender from itunes! Any help gratefully received :-)

Please get the iPhone iOS 4 user guide.
Configure your device's iTunes setup by turning on iCloud syncing then sync it with iTunes. Works the same as it did for your iPhone 5.

IPhone 3GS/iOS4 not recognized in iTunes After Replacing MacBook HD

Several days ago, after experiencing some problems w/ my MacBook, I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store. After some diagnostic tests, it was determined that my hard drive was in the process of dying. A new, replacement hard drive was installed by the very helpful Genius. When I got home, I used Time Machine to restore the contents of my hard drive.
I am running OS10.6.4 on my MacBook, with the latest version (9.2?) of iTunes.
After restoring the contents of my hard drive, Time Machine would not back up my MacBook until i formatted the backup drive, and started backups with Time Machine all over again (so now, only one backup since the hard drive restore).
Now, when connecting my iPhone 3GS running iOS4.0.2, the connection confirmation noise sounds, my iPhone very briefly shows up in the devices list in iTunes, and then disappears. I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting my iPhone a few times to see if I could get iTunes to recognize my iPhone. No luck.
At some point after several unsuccessful attempts to get my iPhone to be recognized, I was presented with the message that iTunes could not recognize the iPhone, and I should click the restore button in iTunes. I did this. iTunes wanted to download some software, for the restoration. It looked like this was successful, but then my iPhone vanished from the devices list again. After disconnecting and reconnecting it, and then clicking restore in iTunes, a message that iTunes could not contact the Apple software downloads server. This was erroneous, since I did have a functioning internet connection at the time (I had several tabs open and running in Safari at the time).
Can anyone please help?!

IPhone 3G iOS4 major problems :(

Well, this is my first post on the forum, which i am quite new, but after reading the same issues with the iPhone 3g OS4 update that i have i thought it's time to speak my mind on here, rather than making severe complaints over the home landline to the Apple Support team, with the same old question they ask 'have you tried restoring your phone?' with my answer being 'YES, about 5 times daily!' LOL
Now i have been a keen Apple user for the last 4 years, being a professional photographer using my Macbook Pro and iMac are quite the tools i need, with no problems ever (touch of wood), until... my iPhone decided to die after 1 year of purchase when the IOS4 came out. Yes... my phone is the slowest thing i own sad to say! It is extremely painful to navigate around. Put it this way... my phone took about 6 minutes to just open 1 text message i received, in which i went to make a cup of coffee and to my surprise when i came back, it was still trying to open the message! The iOS4 software has killed MY 3G, and getting it back to a previous version is quite the mission too. What makes things even worse is when i back up and sync my 3G, iTunes decides to tell me that a file is missing on my iPhone to complete the sync! I ask why? What is going on?
So, each and every time my phone becomes slow and sluggish, a system restore and several resets have been made. When i do this, half of the contacts that are on my iPhone are viewable, and half are not! Emails pop up... from months back that i have deleted, and i am talking thousands of them! When scrolling through my apps, or even just to get to the messages or Facebook, my apps vanish, and YouTube is stuck down the left side of my phone only showing half an app button! The list goes on and on, and for a while this is something i have had to put up with. I make back ups all the time, just to be safe, but it is quite the boredom to put back together when i have made a restore. I think what i am trying to say is my iPhone is useless, sad to say really Oh... did i mention my iPhone likes to turn off at random moments, not just in a call... but when on charge plugged into the mains?
Is this a way for Apple to make their 3G and possibly the 3Gs customers upgrade to the 4?
Are Apple actually looking into these problems? Makes me wonder...
If anyone has a solution that does not involve jailbreaking or holding a hammer over the 3G ready for some destruction, please by all means, help all of us 3G users out.

For me, performance issues with 4.0.1 on my 3G appeared to be related to Spotlight Search. I found a fix here that worked for me:
http://www.davekawalec.com/2010/07/3-steps-to-fix-iphone-3g-slowness-after-ios4- upgrade/
"1. Turn off Spotlight Search: Go to Settings | General | Home Button | Spotlight Search, and uncheck everything
2. Reboot your iPhone 3G: Just a normal power down and restart
3. Turn Spotlight Search back on: Go back to same screen as step 1, and re-check everything you unchecked in Step 1"

Is there any chance to upgarde my iphone from ios4.1 to ios4.2

please tell is there upgrde for ios4.1 to 4.2

Yes; update it from iTunes on a computer. If a device can run iOS 4.1, it can run iOS 4.2.1, which is the maximum for an iPhone 3G.

IPhone 3G + iOS4: rebooting?

Hello to all,
it happended only one time, but before iOS4 upgrade this has never happended to me. After some minutes of use I put the phone to sleep; holding it in my hand, I felt suddenly it was hot (not so much, but warmer than usual), after few seconds it rebooted on its own (it was in front of me so I've seen).
What is strange is that after reboot the iPhone did not ask me the PIN code of my SIM.
Has this ever happened to you?

After I upgraded my iPhone 3G with iOS4, the phone reboots 1-2 times a day, while I'm using it. I'll be checking email, or on a phone call, then all of the sudden I get the white apple logo, of the phone starting up. Is there a fix for this. Doesn't anyone at Apple test there software before they sending out to users. But this a daily occurance, I need to go back to iOS3.

Iphone 3g ios4 fast now

so i did an update to ios4 and like most people here it sucked badly
so slow apps took forever battery life sucked basically all the problems.
i read everything i could find, and in the end here is what fixed it
i put my phone into recovery mode by turning it off and then pressing power and home button till the connect to itunes logo appeared.
connected it to itunes,
installed ios4.
DIDN'T restore a backup.
when phone was up and running did a reset all in the settings menu.
and now for over 2 days my iphone is fine.
some things actually run faster now, the rest are about the same.
it is a pain because its in effect a new phone and i had to set all my preferences again, but it works now

Lucky you went through backup. Mine got stuck after 25% for 4 hours. Retries ended up the same

IPhone 3GS IOS4 Internet stops responding using Safari. FIDO Network

Hi Everyone
Just opgraded to IOS4 and noticed that agter a couple uses Safari gets an error message saying that it can't load the page requested. After a couple reboots it workes fine. In a while it stops again and I have to reboot again to resolve the issue. Tried to find a work around but still no solution. The only change is the IOS4 and a couple of upgrades to some apps. The Issue was here before the app upgrades as well. When I check settings it seems to be connected to my network and I have 5 bars of signal. It just won't go to any sites in Safari or Google or and other browser I have tried. All worked fine before IOS4 upgrade.

Upgraded to 4.0.1 but still no iPhone in the interface list.
The error reads (in Console):
+17/07/10 14:06:08 iTunes[222] _NotificationSocketReadCallback (thread 0xa002b500): Unexpected connection closure...+
+17/07/10 14:06:09 iTunes[222] AMDServiceConnectionSendMessage (thread 0xa002b500): Could not send message size: Broken pipe+
