HT4994 My iPhone 3GS won't import my contacts

I have a Nokia phone.
I transferred the SIM to an iPhone 3GS, followed all the instructions but my contacts will NOT come over.
I have tried several times. I have synced the SIM and the Nokia memory etc.
I have created a thread in another forum and nobody has a solution so I thought I would try here?

Go to Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts and select Allow Changes.

IPhone 3GS won't start at all...please help

My iPhone 3GS won't start at all, it only shows the apple logo untill the battery runs out and it keeps on doing that. It happened after I erased all contents & settings. I tried pressing home button & power button for 15 seconds too, it didn't work. Any other ideas?

while turned off, connect that to the wall charger, it should start normally
after few minutes.
if it dont start then put your phone in dfu mode and connect to itunes for
a restore. for dfu mode search google.

HT4623 my iphone 3gs won't charge anymore.

My wife's iphone 3gs won't charge anymore even tho we leave it charging all night.

You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

Regarding iPhone 3GS won't charge:
I have the same iPhone, and also sync with iTunes on my Mac Book Pro computer. After just a few months after purchasing my NEW iPhone 3GS, the charger stopped working and would not show up on the computer. After trouble shooting my equipment, I discovered that the USB CORD was no longer working, NOT the AC Jack Component. My phone was still under warranty for 1year with Apple Care and extended purchased insurance with VerizonWireless. I contacted VerizonWireless as per my contract agreement, and was transferred to Apple Care Support. Apple Care informed me: A new [Apple Manufactured Original Equipment parts] would be replaced free of charge, BUT, I would first need to secure the return of the defective equipment with a deposit of the purchase price on my credit card. After the receipt of my returned defective equipment, my credit card would be credited back for the full deposit amount. This was NOT acceptable to me. I called Verizon and they mailed me a new [VerizonWireless Manufactured part] USB Cord. After a time, I had to replace that USB cord also. Apparently the USB Cord burns out after a time of use. SOLUTION; I keep about 4 new USB Cords in stock at home!! You may also need to check if your iPhone software is up to date, this could effect it's performance also.
Hope this helps

My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book

My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book.
Recently updated with iOS 5.1.1, I've read elsewhere about a possible bug associated with the update?

Hello, Sue.Darby.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend having your friend check to see if call and message blocking is enabled on their end. Here is some information regarding that feature.

I can' synchronise my iphone 3gs and my calendar or contacts on windows7

You are trying to sync contacts and calendar events with what?

Updated my iphone 3gs last night and all contact info is gone. Messages, notes and all other sections are intact----just no contact info.

You can resync your contact via Itunes, just go to the contact tabs and check to sync.

IPhone 3Gs won't sync/upload to iPhoto

I upgraded from the original iPhone to the 3Gs and now iPhoto won't import photos from it. It still works with the original iPhone. When I plug in the 3Gs, iTunes comes up but not iPhoto. If I go to iPhoto to do it manually, it can't find the 3Gs. Shutting down the compute, turning off the iPhone and switching the usb port don't wok. everyone's advice to click on the mythical "synch to iPhoto" button won't work because that button doesn't seem to be available on my computer.
PLEASE help me! I have almost 30 photos I would like to get off my iPhone!
thank you

On windows you can upload when the phone is connected for sync by using the autoplay window that pops up and select "import photos and videos", if you can't get the upload in a similar way on your Macbook dust off your old windows machine then transfer. Make sure you have iTunes on the PC. I used Windows Live Photo Gallery but you probably can use any windows viewer then save.
If that isn't available I suggest you email to self or upload video to Youtube, Long way round but at leaset can use the photos until a fix is deemed necessary by the apple Gods.

IPhone 3Gs won't sync contacts through iTunes after 4.0.2 upgrade

I updated to OS 4.0.2 today, and since then my iPhone 3Gs will not sync contacts. All contacts have now disappeared from my phone. The group headings still show, but Contacts is empty. I performed a factory reset and restored my phone, but still no contacts. Even after repeated syncs.
I am syncing with Address Book through iTunes. I performed a one way sync each time from laptop to phone to avoid the phone overwriting my address book with zero data. I also backed up my contacts before attempting the sync, so the data still exists in Address Book, it simply won't appear in the phone.
I also tried to reset sync history - first by using iSync 'reset sync history' button, but that does not work these days as iSync does not see my iPhone. Then I tried looking for the reset sync history' button that Apple Support says can be found as follows:
"Open iTunes. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab. Click the Reset Sync History button."
But - that button is not there!
Any ideas anyone?

Did you try to set up your phone without using the latest backup? If you can, your other backup might be damaged and not usable anymore.

IPhone 3GS won't update to 4.3.1

Hello there,
My iPhone 3GS is on operating system 4.1. There is a newer v4.3.1 but everytime I click the update button it tells me the iTunes version is up to date. I'm not trying to update the iTunes. Just the iPhone system.
Can anyone help? Do I have to be connected to iTunes to update the iPhone system?
Many thanks for any help.

I have this issue as well. I tried to update my MacBook, but it says there are no updates available. I cannot update my iPhone (currently OS 4.0) as my iTunes (currently 9.2.1) isn't updated, but I can't update my iTunes because my MacBook won't update.
Help! There are apps out there now that require a higher OS on my phone that I would like, but can't get!
Thanks!
