I have a 3gs iphone that will no longer do icloud mail

Apple searches for "3gs iphone icloud mail won't send or receive mail" gives only responses relating to icloud mail on a mac. the term "3gs" gets zero subject hits.

Solved my issue by setting up a new account on my daughter's computer. Not 100% solved, but i was able to get the update on my 3GS.

    I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and the os will only run 10.4.11, consequently iTunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Please don't answer that i need to upgrade the computer os because that has been a past nightmare i have been through too many times.
    Is there any way i can upgrade the phone w/o going to an apple store so hereafter w/ the upgrade to the new os (whenever that gets squared away), i will not need a computer to do it?
    Thanks in advance,

    Okay lets check few things.  Tell me what you can see that is similar to mine.  I'll be travelling today so I have soem time now and later tonight ...  just so you don't thing I've "gone awol".
    1.  In iTunes, Preferences > Device Preferences if you want manual then you should set the iPhone from syncing automatically
    2.  Also check you have music in your iTunes Library
    3.  Then on your device tab =Music you select Sync Music, slect your playlists annd then select apply in the lower right corner.
    Let me know

    IOS: how to back up  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • IPhone shows a error message when i plug up to my pc. I have other  iPhones that will connect without the error message

    Having a problem with a iPhone 3GS. When I try to back it up on my pc or laptop it has a error message. We have other iPhones that will connect when plugged in. I need to back up my data on this iPhone so it can be serviced. Can anyone help?

    Try a quick reset of the phone first. If it still doesn't work, go to Edit/Preferences/Devices in itunes and delete the old backup for the 3GS.

  • HT204053 I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with icloud and Find my Iphone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. What do I do?

    I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with iCloud and Find my iPhone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. How do I go about creating this account?

    I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this.  It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID.  If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account).  If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.

  • HT201272 I have a purchased app that will not show up in the cloud and is no longer in the app store. Is there a way to get it from my iPhone to my iPad?

    You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

  • Hi Apple! My iphone 4g has restored and I can't retrieve the account. I have tried the password renewal that will be send on my mail but unfortunately my mail has been deactivated also.what is your solution for this kind of cases? This is so unfair.

    If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • HT1848 I have purchases on my iphone that will not sync to my computer. Why?

    I have purchases on my iphone that will not transfer to itunes. Why?

    Do they not copy over via File > Transfer Purchases ? I assume that the account that you bought them with is authorised on your computer's iTunes ?

  • I have a album purchased on itunes downloaded to my iphone that will not play back, what can I do?

    I have a album that was purchased from itunes downloaded on my iphone that will not play back, any suggestions?

    You can replace the back glass or get a case.  There are many iPhone repair centers... Google for one.  You can also try the Apple store... I've heard they will replace the back for about $30.

  • I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

    Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT2292 I have a 3GS iphone.It was working alright with iTunes.Recently, it was unlocked. After it was unlocked, the iphone is functioning alright but it is not recognized by iTunes and iTunes stops working, when I connect iphone.Any advice please.

    I have a 3GS iphone. It was jailbroken and working alright.But I was not able to upgrade its IOS frrom 4.0.1 to higher versions and many applicatopns were not compatible with this version of the IOS. So I decided to do a factory unlocking. From an website, based in Mumbai, I unlocked it. When I check now in different websites from my IMEI number, my iphone is unlocked. So I became happy that I can now upgrade my iphone. But the events turned to be different.When I connected to iTunes, iTunes stopped working and my iphone did not appear in the iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes after cleaning previous registry of all relatedd components like Quicktime, Bejour,Apple software updates and mobile softwares. I also used msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in software of Windows 7 ultimate but still my iTunes is not working, when I connect the iphone. If I do not connect the iphone, iTunes is working alright. Can any friend give me some advice how to proceed. I do not like comments like Jailbreaking is illegal and should not have been done. Please advice me what should I do right now. Thanking you all and expecting some valuable suggestions from this expert community.

    There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

    I have a disabled ipod that will not restore with iOS7

    What exactly happens when you try to restore via iTunes?
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • I have an old iPhone that is locked

    I have an old iPhone that is locked that the kids used to use to play games on.  I can't remember the password.  iTunes will not let me reset/restore this device because find my iPhone is active on this device.  I obviously can't turn it off on the device first because I don't remember the password.  I thought I would be able to restore anyway from the iTunes account and computer I have always used with it.  Any tips? 

    Log into iCloud.com on your computer and see if it show up there, then erase it there. Then connect to iTunes and reload a recent backup or start as new.
