I have an iphone 3GS and suddenly am getting a "storage almost full message" even though I have 1.4 GB of free space. Now I cannot text. How do I trouble shoot this? I recently upgraded to version 6.1.3 if that helps.
When you sync using iTunes on your computer, do you see a lot of "Other" at the bottom of the iTunes Summary Page for your iPhone? If you do, try a "Restore iPhone ...". That should help.
Hopefully that would do it for you. If not, the next (more drastic) step would be to restore again as above, but choose "Restore as New" and then manually sync. Omit any apps that might be suspcious in their space use (primarily Game Center apps).

I just bought a used iphone 3gs, (very new to the smart phone thing), and i set the phone up as a straight talk phone. I can send picture messages to other iphones but not to anyone else? I already made sure that my sms setting is on and it is, so is my imessage , mms and group message. anyone with any advise would be greatly appreciated
More than likely the problem is with the provider. You will need to check with them to find out what settings need to be on the phone to support MMS. You need to contact Straight Talk. SMS and MMS are carrier functions. The only settings on the phone are the ones you have mentioned, with the exception of APN settings, which are generally taken care of by the phone's carrier settings. I'm not aware of a carrier file for Straight Talk.

I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.
ThanksThe Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working. -
i have an iphone 3gs, and i keep getting blocked number calling me (prank calls) im getting really fed up with it all now i have had 12 calls from the same person! i was just wondering if there is any way i could block this caller from calling me?
Contact your carrier and ask them.

I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.
Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier. -
Storage almost full message on iPhone and iPad
Hi,
I searched the forum already and didn't quite find an answer so I thought I would post this (sorry if I missed something and this has already been posted!).
Background:
- My wife and I both have the iPhone 4S 16GB and we also have an IPod 2 32GB.
- My iPhone and our iPad both have the most recent iOS updates
- My wife and I share an iTunes account
- We have an iTunes Match subscription and are currently right around the 25,000 song limit. My iPhone and our iPad are the only devices with iTunes Match enabled though
Problem:
I recently managed to convince my wife to update to iOS 7 and have all the latest updates as well. It seems that ever since then we've been getting a "Storage almost full" message on all of our devices.
I restored both of our phones to factory recently so there's literally nothing on them except for a few pictures now and some apps. The iPad has nothing on it except for iCloud pictures and some music.
The Storage almost full message does go away if we restart the afflicted device.
Any insight would be appreciated since it's pretty annoying to be constantly restarting our iPhones or iPad!Sadly this is a bug that I have been able to relicate on 3 different devices, and that has NOT been fixed by 7.1.2
To replicate, you need an "oldish" device (iPhone 4 & 4S, iPad 2 & Mini), and an iTunes match subscription with quite a few songs.
Start from a clean slate:
- Switch off iTunes match (settings / apps store or music)
- Kill all apps
- Reboot
- Reset (home +power until apple appears)
Check available space on settings / general / about
Then:
- Activate iTunes match
- Play some non locally stored music
- Wait
Yesterday, it took 1h for my iPad mini with 5.3GB available to show the "storage almost full" message and 0 bytes available
Note that I have tried with a full reset and it does not change anything.
To solve the problem:
- Switch off iTunes match
- Reset
The memory is now back (but I cannot use iTunes match) -
I have an iphone 3gs and it has suddenly switched off and it won't charge or switch back on HELP!!!!!!!!
Do a reset hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple sign and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. If that doesn't work - do the steps while your phone is plug into your PC.

I have an iPhone 3GS and I restarted it. I have crossed my language, wifi, country and everything, but suddenly when I am done with that and it says "activating iPhone", a message comes time after time "Activation error." What can I do?
Most activation errors happen because a phone has been previously hacked or jailbroken. If this is the case, we cannot help you on this forum. You'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...
I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly.
Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal. Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that. Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card. Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account.
Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud. Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account. To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate. -
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.

So, yes I do have an iPhone 3gs and yes it might be me who logs in bla bla bla, point is... I have not used iMessage as I don't know how to. Also, I have not logged into my Apple ID account through it as I have not been asked to log in, nor have I downloaded any Apps lately that would require me to put my login info into my phone.
I tried fixing this yesterday by changing my password, which I did, but I keep getting said emails... how can I stop those emails or how can I make it so that I don't log into iMessage (whatever that is).
I've texted a couple of friends since yesterday, but all of them have standard non-smart-phones...
Can anyone help please?
ThanksThanks a lot!
Ok so... iMessages sole purpose is to be a sort of "messenger" between iOS products right? There's nothing more to it? By that I mean... now that I turned it off, will it have any repercussions on any other apps or functions in my iPhone?
