No, iPhone 3G latest and greatest is IOS 4.2.1.
You can't update to IOS 5.x.

How do I fix my iPod when it goes to a white screen and then grey with a dark oval in the middle. I have tried restarting it a few times but it just goes back to the same thing. It has also been doing this for two days now.

please help me!

- Have you tried resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore.
- If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. Then charge for an hour and try the reset and retore again.

Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.

I have problem with my Iphone 5, when I talk my ear allways tuch the screen and get it on no sound, the screen are not lock, is ti possible to lock the screen when incomming an outgoing call going on

Hello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

iPhone warranty is not international, but is valid only in
the country of original purchase. Since you bought the iPhone
in the UK, your warranty is valid anywhere in the EU but not
in Egypt. You can gry taking it to an Apple authorized reseller,
but don't be surprised if they tell you they cannot do anything.

Might be corrupted preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and try changing the desktop photo.

I have found a lost iPhone 4--how do I get it back to the owner?

Hello Folks,
I've found a lost iPhone 4, along with a charger and some other personal effects (none of which are identifying, unfortunately).
Unfortunately, the phone ("Alyssa's Phone) was locked. No problem, call up the service provider (Telus) with the SIM card number. Unactivated and thus unregistered SIM card.
Okay, let's use the IMEI or serial number off the back of the SIM tray--not registered with Telus, either.
Okay, let's phone up Apple technical support: serial number no longer eligible for support!
Clearly, Apple has had some dealing with the phone--can they get in touch with the owner and let them know where they can pick up the phone?

Try to connect the MBP to your computer with Firewire-Target Disk Mode
follow instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
and try to find out the owners identity.
it won't work if "open firmware password" is enabled on the MBP.
Or if everything is FileVault encrypted.
It's possible it won't work without a power brick for the MBP, perhaps you can borrow one ?
You could also take out the Harddisk, and pop it in an external enclosure, but that's more effort.

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite and when launching PS I get error message 150:30. Can anyone tell me what this means?

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite and when trying to launch PS I get an error message 150:30. Can anyone help me out with this please?

Yes. The upgrade broke your CS4 install. You have to reinstall.
Easiest way to fix this is to download the installer Download CS4 products and have your serial number at the ready.
Then you will need to download and install the updates for Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Bridge here: Product updates
There is a Terminal fix, but you have to be familiar with Terminal and running the python license Repair script. You will need the bash shell on your user account. If that makes sense to you, we can try that.

@soccercole1
You need to restore you iPhone via iTunes on your computer. If you do not remember your passcode you have to place the iPhone in recovery mode in order to restore it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Sometimes when I tried to selecting a game from my folder in my iphone 5, it will jump out and back to the home page. Why is it like this?

Why is it when sometimes I tried to select a game to play on my iphone, it jumps out back to my homepage?

Hi lammyrock,
I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.

Have an older 3s iphone and need to save contacts before I complete swipe off all info?

have an older 3s iphone what needs to be complete formatted and I do not what to loose the contacts. Have not synced in years. Does not want to sync
Please advise

When you say it does not want to sync, are you receiving an error message? If so, what is it? Is iTunes recognizing the iPhone being connected? What contact manager do you intend to use to sync the contacts to?
