HT4204 i have an iphone 3g and its saying that my IOS 4.2.1 is current but yet i cant download the facebook app or whatsapp ive updated my itunes but it stil wont let me. some one help it would be greatly appreciated.
i bought a second hand iphone 3g last week and it wont let me get my apps cause it says that i need IOS 5. on my itunes it say that the IOs 4.2.1 is current and that no update is needed. i stil tried to download fb but it wont let me cause i dont have the IOS 5. please help me.
The Facebook app now requires iOS 5.0 or later. I believe that 4.2.1 was the last version that Apple released for the 3G. And with the rapid approach of the iPhone 5S and possibly 6 they are no longer supporting the 3G. I would not be surprised to see them stop offering support for the 3GS this time around.

Hi...I am new to this site and it looks like I posted the question in the subject box...my bad.
I have an Iphone 3G which is used as an ipod (phone service plans are too expensive).
I had some apps on it, Facebook being one of them. The device was goins soooo slow (not even 2G of the available 6 being used) so I did as instructed and backed it up, restored it and then put the info back into it. When I tried to download the Facebook app...it said that I had a 4.2.1 system and needed a 4.3 something system? Can anyone provide any help on this or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advanceSorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch. -
i have a iphone 4 and its broken, i was wondering when i go to my appt sense my phone is broke would i be able to upgrade to 4s or 5 and would it be full price?
The condition of your current phone has nothing to do with upgrading to a new phone with your carrier. You aren't trading it in - you keep the old one. It can be smashed to bits and that won't matter.

i hav an iphone 4s and its wifi is greyed out (dimmed). I tried by resetting the network settings and also restarted my device but it didn't worked. but i haven't unlocked my phone yet and im running it in ios 6.1.3. now wat to do?
Just an update it is a hardware issue and very common for iPhone 4s. I have to get my phone rewired which basically means new wireless chip. The amount of money I spent on buying an iPhone I should not expect to have anyway hardware problems happening. Make sure you have a warranty as luckily I've saved myself from spending more money to get this problem fixed.

i have a iphone 4s and its stuck at the apple logo to comes up then fades away and every time i try to restoring with iTunes it gives me a 4013 error i changed the charging port/dock and the battery ive also used a different computer and cable
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#USB
However, the most likely reason is your self-repair of a device that is only factory repairable broke something. Note that Apple does not sell replacement parts, so whatever parts you used were not made by Apple's supplier and are of questionable quality. -

I create my apple id from my boyfriend macbook and its says that I have to review my itunes information , when I get to the credit card number info etc. Its keep asking me for that I dont have any credit card and I dont want to put any , what should I do?
You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.
Read this before proceeding.

I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions
An iPad and iPhone cannot connect via Bluetooth unless you are trying to use a Personal Hotspot feature on your iPhone or have one of the few third-party apps that allow limited file transfer or device-to-device gaming. Unless you're attempting one of these, then any previous "pairing" was probably illusory. If you are trying to use such a thing, tell us which one and someone may be able to provide suggestions.

I have accidentally deleted off my Mac a preferences file for Adobe photoshop and now the program cannot initialize. I have talked to Apple and then say that if Adobe can isolate the file they can help me restore it from my time machine. How do I isolate the file ?
Do you have the path to this file and name of this file?

I have an iphone 4 and it appears that since i have updated to ios6 that i keep loosing my 3g network connection. i have reset the network connection several times only to loose 3g again whenever i try to connect to a sight. can anyone tell me what will stop this?
Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today. Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi. My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems. It's just the 4. So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home. It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS but !!!too late now!!! We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi?? -
i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
