MY FAVORITE IPHONE 3GS WALLPAPER DELETED - PLEASE HELP !!!!

Hello All,
I'm desperately looking for an old iphone 3gs wet pink stemmed rose with water drops wallpaper which got deleted from my phone and now I see that the wallpaper is no longer in the wallpaper gallery of my phone either.
I have come to understand that older wallpapers are probably deleted when the ios is updated or something but that wallpaper was very very special to me - if any of you has the wallpaper, I beg you to e-mail it to me via email or send me a link where I can download it from.
I have seached the web extensively, but I've had no luck finding it. I've seen some collages of the wallpaper but not the wallpaper alone in itself in clear good res. It was a very common wallpaper used on most iphones in 2010.
Fortunately, I have a screen snap but it has writing and time over it so I can't use it as a wallpaper, but it will give you an idea of the wallpaper I'm looking for.
Here it is:
Waiting in anticipation.
Many thanks.

In an odd turn of events, I still HAD my favorite wallpaper when I updated to the new iOS, and now it has disappeared. Can someone please help me get it back?
The earth wallpaper was set on my phone when I downloaded the update, and I've been able to view it ever since then. But all of a sudden, today, the earth is gone from my homescreen. It looks like a blue, very very foggy earth but the earth is not visible. When I went into settings, it still appears there in the thumbnail that shows how my homescreen wallpaper should look.
What gives? How can I fix this and get the original earth graphic to reappear?
Thanks!

Accidently did a factory reset on a deactivated phone, need help to reactivate for Wi-Fi use. Its an iphone 3gs. Verizon please help

hello
Hoping someone can please help me. I bought a new phone 4 and gave the old phone (iphone 3g) to my 3 year old daughter. she loves it and can take pics, videos, and connect to wi-fi to download and play games. She's always wanting to play her educational games.
, When i was trying to download some songs for her so she can listen to them. it asked me to do a factory reset. I didnt know what it was, so i dedcided to go ahead an do it Next thing you know, I can/t use the phone no more.
When I turn on the phone, the first screen asks me to select my language, English or Espanol. I select English and then it forwards me to the next screen. The next screen says, "Press Send to activate your phone". When I click on Send, it requires me to enter my mobile phone number so that it can begin the activation of the phone.
I dont want to activate this old phone to use for calls, I just want to fix the phone so that my daughter can continue to use it for her use by playin games listenin to music and whatever else she does.she really loves this phone.
But I can't get past the Activation screen to use the phone. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me? maybe theres there is a activation number I can use to bypass that activation screen?i saw that verizon gave one to another guy for his samsung, maybe you guy can do the same for me?
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thank you in advance

Updating iPhone 5s gone wrong

Today my iPhone 5s said it had an update to iOs7.03 [or something close to that] and when I updated it, my phone immediatly shut off and says to 'connect to iTunes'. Well, I followed the simple instructions and connected it to iTunes and now it's telling me to restore my phone to factory settings? I don't know what happened but I really don't want to reset my entire phone because it has everything on it. Please help.

If the "connect to iTunes" screen shows up, there is no other way than to restore the phone and restore from the latest backup, sorry.

IPHone 3GS question. PLEASE HELP

I called AppleCare and sent my iPhone 3GS in for repair. The empty box came on the Thursday (august 11) and shipped it via Fed ex on Friday. I remember reading in the label "overnight Shipment" and so I expected it to be delivered by Apple on saturday. I checked my repair status and nothing has changed all it says it "Empty box shipped (09-Aug-2010) Shipped via FedEx Ground with tracking number". I'm worried it might get lost and so when should I expect it to change? Also since I bought an iPhone 4 I will be giving my friend my old iPhone 3GS when it comes back from repair. How should she go about, activating it?

Sure, the phone even works (except as a phone) without a Sim card installed.
However, per the AT&T terms of service, if you cancel within 30 days (i.e. without a penalty) you are required to return the phone for a refund.

IPhone 3Gs OS6 problem, please help.

I woke up this morning and my iPhone screen said OS6 then "connect to iTunes". It had an image of a USB plug with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. It won't let me do anything. I am almost annoyed!!!! I did NOT request the update. All APPs were up to date before I went to sleep. I dragged out the computer, plugged in thw phone and WHAT does ITunes say? It tells me that my phone doesn't have the correct version of iTunes. I have no idea what version it has because I can't do anything with it. If I press the button at the bottom of the screen I get 3 options, Emergency call, Start Over, Cancel, none of which are even remotely helpful. Is there a fix?

Hi twainy88,
It sounds like your iPhone may have placed itself in Recovery mode due to an issue with an update. The following article has more information and steps for how to restore from a backup:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Notes:
In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If your device is already in recovery mode, you can attempt to restore using iTunes.

Hard Drive and RAM upgrade gone wrong - please help!

I have a 2+ year old Mac Mini Core Solo that I recently decided to upgrade. Originally it had a 80GB hard drive and 512MB of RAM and I installed a 250GB Western Digital drive and upgraded to 2GB of RAM.
Everything went smooth with the reinstall of OSX and the Mini was actually working, Internet was working etc. I was in the process of downloading and installing all of the Mac SW updates and that went on for several minutes, it actually got through most of them and then a screen came up to tell me to restart the computer. I did and then got the same screen. Which was the gray screen with the restart message and a message like this:
panic (cpu 0 caller 0x00398C43); unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI"
(Then there was a bunch of hexidecimal debugging jibberish and then some kernel version info.)
So I held down on the option key while doing the restart and tried to start from the internal disc and also start from the install disc. I can get to where I've reinstalled the first disc again, but then when I have to restart the computer to load the second disc I get the gray restart screen again with the above info.
During one of the attempts I brought up utilities and did a scan of the internal HD for defects and all the repair steps but it always said that everything was fine. When I bring up the general computer info it shows that I have 2GB of RAM. So it recognizes the two items that I installed.
So what do I do now? I am stuck on this issue and out of ideas, I havent tried to put back in the old hardware to test it, (but I would prefer not to as that doesnt really help me with the new stuff I bought).
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to offer as much detail as possible in case there is something in there that triggers an idea with someone. I dont live in a huge city so theres no apple store within several hours drive from here.
Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!

Thanks for all the help.
It is a kernel panic and unfortunately it can be caused by a bunch of things. But I think I have it figured out for now.
My first step was to put the old RAM back in with the new HD, no change with the problem.
Then I put the old HD back in with the old RAM (original config) and everything was back to normal.
Then I tried the new RAM with the old HD and everything is also good. (and faster!)
So it would appear that the new HD was flakey and needs to go back to OWC.
Hey, I'm a pro at taking apart and rebuilding a Mini now!
Thanks again for the help,

HT4623 how do you update iphone 3gs ios 2.1 to 4.3 please help

If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.

I would "guess", since you were in the middle of backing up, your backup is corrupt & most likely unusable. Only one way to find out though, & that's by trying to restore from that backup. If your pics are not there, they are gone.
