I have an iphone 3gs if i went to the apple store what would they do if it is faulty orwould they offer me another phone for a little extra money
Hi,
i have a iphone 3gs and its faulty i am just wondering would apple replace it or offer me a newer model for extra payment
The device is out of warranty. If there is something wrong with it, they would offer you an out of warranty replacement, a 3GS just like you have. You could purchase another device if you want. Some Apple stores will offer a gift card when you turn in a device, but I do not know how much that would be on the 3GS. Carriers also offer subsidies, depending on where you are located, when you sign contracts. Many ways to get new or like new devices.

Hi there - I have an iPhone 4s which I bought from the apple store here in the UK. I am going to South Africa at the end of the year and I want to use a SA sim card - do I need it unlocked?
Hi,
As far as I know, all the iPhones bought online or in the Apple Store ar unlocked.
Only carriers (e.g. T-mobile, Vodafone, O2) are able to lock a phone, Apple won't do that (afaik).
This would mean that you shouldn't need to unlock your iPhone.
Kind regards,

after erasing the data and settings on my old iPhone 4S it said I needed the original Apple ID and Apple ID password to activate the phone but I don't remember them. if I take it to the apple store can they do anything to fix it?
It sounds like you may have triggered activation lock. If that is the case they will ask you for your ID and password and when you cannot give it to them they will say sorry they cannot help you. It's a new feature to deter thieves (makes stolen devices useless) but it means you now have to be very diligent about knowing your login information.

I have an iPhone 3gs and since I made the 6.01 update everytime I want to join a wireless network I get the same error "incorrect password" when I now it's correct, any one have a solution for this? Tks
I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail. That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine. Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook. I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

Hi Midwestboy,
If your iPhone isn't being recognized by iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article helpful:

If the genius at the Apple Store did not offer repair under warranty then NO

Hiya thankyou for the answer.
Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
Thankyou again, -
I have the original iPad- about 18 mod old. I tried to download an etool program and it required iflashplayer. My iPad wouldn't do it. I went to the apple store and they told me to update my software to iOS 5.1.1 which I did . Now none of the apps I had installed prior to this work. The icons are still on my screen but when you touch them, it just blinks and nothing happens..like the screen is frozen. How do I restore all of these apps and favorites that I had on prior to this update? Please speak in very non- tech terms if possible. I am VERY low tech unfortunately!
Welcome to Apple Communities
You must use iTunes. Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your device in the sidebar and press Restore. Then, you can restore your device from a backup, and sync the device with iTunes to transfer your files to it pressing Sync button -
i was having problems with my phone so i went into the apple store and it turns out there was a problem with my operating systerm so i got an update in the store. I want to get my contacts and my pictures back from my old iphone but when I was in the apple shop the man told me to start the phone as a new phone instead of restoring it from an earlier back up as i could get the bug back once restored, is there any way for me to get my pictures and contacts back without restoring it and getting the bug? Thanks
You should restore from the back up so you can get the info back on your device. Then, what you can do is import those pictures to your computer.
At that point, you'll want to restore again as new possibly, then once your phone is as new, use iTunes to sync those picture from your computer back to your phone.
As far as contacts, do you know if those were ever backed up to iCloud? If so, all you should need to do is sign in with you iCloud account. -
Hi I have an Iphone 4 and when I open the app store, all that appears is a white screen. I can't do anything? what can I do?
Try a hard reset. Hold Power button and home button until it restarts. Hold both till the Apple logo is displayed. Do not slide power off.
If that does not work you may need to restore. -
Hello, I'm new in Apple Support Communities
Most of my e-mail goes to Junk e-mail..! I have tried the rules suggestion as soluiton of the problem, but I don't see any rules to be removed. I went to the Apple store and they couldn't resolve the problem ...Help!!! Any other suggestion?Is it being marked by your email provider? Check the raw headers and see if there is an x-spam header.
If so, you can disable Mail trusting spam headers in the Junk preferences. -
My iPhone 4s has been blocked due to forgetting my password, I can't remember my email or password to unblock my phone. If I went to the apple store and took some kind of ID or phone bill for proof would they be able to unblock my phone? Please help

Yesterday I worked on spreadsheets in the 3.0 version, today I open up numbers and it tells me I need to update. When I look in "about numbers" it tells me I have version 09...I went to the app store, it says the new version is installed on my Mac.
Hi nuvest,
Numbers 3.0.1 lives in your Applications folder. Numbers '09 lives in a folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder. You can drag each icon to your Dock. They will become Aliases. Right click (or control click) on each Alias in turn and Options > Keep in Dock. Then you can choose which one to launch.
Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) is on the left, three column chart. Numbers '13 (Numbers 3.0.1) is on the right, four column chart.
Both versions will run side-by-side. Just be sure which version has your document open before you save.
In Numbers 3.0.1 you can convert "backwards" to Numbers 2 with File> Export > Numbers '09...
Regards,
Ian.
