I bought an IPhone 3gs and tried to reset the APN but when I click on settings then General they tell me to click on the "Network" tab but there is not a tab for "Network"? After Network, I was supposed to go to Cellular Data Settings?

I bought an IPhone 3gs and tried to reset the APN through Strait Talk Wireless but when I click on settings then "General" tab they tell me to click on the "Network" tab but there is not a "Network" tab? After Network, I was supposed to go to Cellular Data Settings but I can't find the Network tab under the General tab. I watched videos and every IPhone I saw had the Network tab but mine don't, can anyone please help this old man fix this new technology, so I can use the Internes and MSM?Thanks, jerry b <><

Hey electrikn,
Thanks for the question. If your iPhone 3GS has been updated to iOS 6, this setting had moved:
Set network options: Go to Settings > General > Cellular

    Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old.  When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
    Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade.  Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).  However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
    Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit.  That's the dirference.

  • Bought an iphone 3GS and it wont restore, previous owner might have jailbroken it. how to fix it?

    So I bought an iphone 3GS from a friend of mine and when i try to restore it, it wont work. Now i know that it could have been the computer or it could have been that he jailbroke it and never told me but i just want to get someone elses opinion/help before i go out and spend money to try and fix it.

    There are a couple of things you can try. First, are you sure the computer you are using has never been used to jailbreak ANY iDevice (not just the phone with the problem). If you are sure of this do the following:
    Reboot the computer
    disable your antivirus and firewall
    launch iTunes
    Connect the USB end of the sync cable to a USB port on the computer itself, not a hub. Do not connect the other end yet
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons on the phone until the screen goes blank - IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button, but continue holding the HOME button
    Connect the dock cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
    Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button
    If the baseband firmware is not corrupted or the wrong version the phone will restore and remove the jailbreak. If not you haven't lost anything.

  • I have a iphone 3GS and it just started doing this. When I play my play list, it will keep repeating the same some over and over. I have to click the next song and it plays it over and over. It doesn't go through albums or song lists. How can I stop that?

    When I try to play albums or artists or any other catagories on my itunes library my iphone 3GS will only repeat the first song over and over and will not go on to the other songs. This just started. It won't random or play through the whole album or artist. How can I remedy this problem?

    Turn off repeat

    I'm trying to update the software on my iPad and my iPhone, I went to setting then general, but I don't see software update icon.

    That options comes with iOS 5. Yo need to connect the iPad to your computer and update via iTunes. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.

  • Just bought an iphone 5 and trying to get into the app store without success

    I just bought an iPhone5 and am brand new to it......trying to explore to find out what apps are available.  when i tap the apps icon i get a white screen and it just sits there.
    What am i doing wrong?

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I bought new Iphone 5 and trying to activate it. It says itunes cannot connect to network try again?

    This new iphone 5. i try activating it on wifi through phone it says i need sim card. and using itunes it says error cannot connect to itunes network try again. This is gsm unlock phone !

    Did the receipt say unlocked? Apple sells iPhones without a contract but
    still tied to a wireless carrier, and iPhones that are not tied to a wireless
    carrier. Both are are the same price. Price paid is not a guarantee of an
    unlocked iPhone.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=About=>Carrier?

  • Syncing Notes between Iphone 3GS and Macbook Pro

    I've read all the forums I can about this, but can't seem to find the answer.
    I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
    However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
    I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

  • Syncing iPhone 3Gs and MacBook Pro

    I always carry around my iPhone and add things to my calender as they come up during the day. When I get home, I sync the iphone and my home computer (macbook pro). The sync doesn't send the info from my phone to the computer. Only data sent is from computer to iPhone. Am I doing something wrong? PLEASE HELP...

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT4314 Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center.  It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loo

    Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center.  It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loop. Never ends the loop unless I cancel the setup process.  I have restored the iphone to the factory settings and restored the backup, but did not work. Any suggestions on what can be the problem? thank you.

    I just read another post that says you can go into a game that allows for multiple players and utalizes game center and enter your account information that way.  I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to work for others that had this issue.
