I can upgrade to iphone 3gs for free but.......

Since I have the bestbuy(canada) exclange plan, I can exchange my 3g 8Gb for 16gb 3gs since I paid $200 for the 3g. They will give me a brand new 3gs only if theres a problem with my iphone 3g, unfortunately thers none but I wouldnt mind to lie for a new iphone 3gs, I dont know waht to tell them. Help?

hm...I don't think the exchange policy covers accidental damage but if you bought it on May 11th why buy it then? If You would have known that Apple releases a new iphone every year around June then you would have waited. I usually tell my friends that too, if it's around January, I tell them to wait until June for the next generation is coming out and not to waste their money on the previous generation or the current generation.
As far as I can say, I can't do anything about it, but give them an explanation telling them your battery is messed up.

    No one here would have any information as to where the MacBook Pro was purchased.
    Contact the person who gifted the Mac.

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other

    Hello! I understand I can download Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free but I don't know where to. Can somebody help me out with this? Thank you very much.

    Hello Stanislav,
    to my knowledge these downloads in Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products is subject to certain conditions, for example: "The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products."

  • Can I unlock my iphone 3gs for free

    Im using a iphone 3gs locked to O2-UK, I no longer live in UK can I unlock my iphone for free. It's no point of paying for it because it's an old one.

    You will need to contact O2 to determine their unlocking policy, and if you qualify.

  • Just upgraded my iphone 3GS to iOS5, but my Apps did not sync up??

    Just upgarded to iOS5, but my Apps did not syn. The Apps are still there in my iTune, but can not sync them up to my phone !! Please help. What am I missing??

    Call AppleCare back and give them the iPhone model and serial number and tell them you just want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is now locked with. Once you learn that contact the cell provider and see what their process is to officicially unlock it.

  • I just got a iPhone 4 in the past month. Can I upgrade to the 4s for free?

    I was wondering that if I just recently bought a iPhone 4 from apple. Can I upgrade to the 4s for free?

    Yes.  I just did today.  However, the new price for the iPhone 4 is now $149.   So that is the credit that will be issued, meaning the 4S will cost you $50.

  • Can I get my iphone repaired for free?

    I think there is a problem with my Iphone 3GS. I got it as a gift just over a week ago (not sure if it has had previous owners or not) but since I've had it, it seems to have a problem with charging. Now and again when I plug it in to charge it will come up saying 'charging accessory not supported' or something along those lines but I am using the official charger that came with the phone. I have swapped wires and tried multiple chargers but they all seem to have this problem. The phone was on the latest IOS software when I received it too.
    It happens on/off and it could be fine for a few days and suddenly it will start doing it again. The phone vibrates as if it is about to start charging but on the second vibration the messages comes up. When the phone reaches 100% charge this messages also occurs and I've asked other Iphone users who have said that it is just my phone that does this. Is there a problem with the phone and can I get it repaired for free? as I believe I have not done anything to cause the problem and it is a fault with the phone itself.
    I was told the phone was only a couple of months old so I thought it would still be under warranty but different websites seem to say different things when I type in my serial number.
    Serial number: 810164783NP if anyone could tell me how old the phone is. Thanks.

    You can tell from the serial number that your phone was manufactured in the 16th week of 2010 (3rd through 5th digit) and the Apple warranty is 1 year from the date of initial activation. Note that the warranty follows the phone.
    However, in your case with the SN you provided, your phone is a 16GB black 3GS locked to O2 in the UK and was originally sold in the UK and has as the most recent activation date 6/15/2012.
    Unfortunately, https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do shows that your warranty has expired.
    I suspect that you are having a problem with the dock connector in the phone not making a consistently good contact. As others have mentioned, make sure that your connector is clean (no lint) perhaps by using a soft tooth brush. Since you are using Apple chargers and cables and have swapped cables then if cleaning the port doesn't work it would appear that your only option is to have the charger port replaced. Now, I'm assuming that the phone was never opened to replace a screen, battery or other repair because if it was there would be the possibility that a connector is loose or bad.

  • Where can I buy an iPhone 3GS for cheap?

    Hello. Does anyone know where I can buy a used iPhone 3GS for cheap, and how much money do they go for?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

    iPhones can be unlocked in the U.S. as well and in a number of countries - by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, which doesn't require an Apple store and has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking an iPhone.
    Hacking an iPhone is against the iOS license agreement, which you have violated.
    If you think upgrading an iPhone isn't easy, I feel sorry for you. Upgrading an iPhone that hasn't been hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason is easy, but hacking as you have done can and does cause problems - you have severely altered the operating system making the iPhone as insecure as that swiss cheese for security garbage that is Windows and Android just for starters.

    Wrong, and too funny, but thanks for my laugh for the day.

  • HT4623 upgraded my iphone 3GS to higher iOS but unfortunately my phone has reset factory setting and now i can't use it anymore... tried to connect to iTunes but it would only say: WE ARE SORRY, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE YOUR ACTIVATION THIS TIME...

    tried to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to a higher iOS but unfortunately it had reset factory setting... now i can't use my phone anymore... tried also to connect to iTunes as instructed but only appears: WE ARE SORRY, WE CANNOT CONTINUE YOUR ACTIVATION AT THIS TIME... WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANK YOU...

    No, you do not need to nor should you jailbreak your iPhone.
    If you jailbreak your iPhone, you void any remaining warranty and lose
    all support from Apple including this forum.
    4 possible causes to activation server unavailable message:
    1] activation server is actually unavailable. Happens very rarely and
    does not last long on those rare occasions. Solution is to try again.
    2] your firewall/internet security software/antivirus are preventing connection
    to the activation server. Solution is to temporarily turn off your firewall/internet
    security software/antivirun until you have activated your iPhone.
    3] your iPhone has been jailbroken or otherwise hacked/modified.
    4] the computer you are using to activate the iPhone has been used to
    jailbreak an iOS device.
    For causes 3] & 4] you are on your own as Terms of Use for this forum prohibit
    discussion of jailbroken/modified iOS devices. Google may provide some direction.
    Be advised that jailbreaking/hacking your iPhone may prevent the iPhone from
    being able to be activated.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • I just bought a (used) Iphone 3gs for wife and it had angry birds and $89 Navigation on it (I paid extra for it).  Once updated and logged into my I-tunes it no longer works? How can I make those apps work?

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it?  It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device."  The music comes out too quiet to the speakers

    I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it?  It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device."  I dismiss the message, but the remote no longer works with it and the music is too quite to the speakers.  The remote works fine with my Macbook Pro.  I tried a restore on the iPhone and started from scrach, but the same problem exists.
    Any help with this?
