  • HT4623 I have an Iphone 3 that does not have the software updates how can I update it?

    I have an IPhone 3 that does not have the software updates in my settings how can I update it cause I can not download any apps or games?

    The 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1, but if the phone isn't there yet, see below.
    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

    when I get a text message from my brother or sister who have IPhones there is no text but there is a "download" button.  If I tap the download button it beeps but there is no download. My galaxy note 4 uses verizon messages app.  how do I get these text messages?

    Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each.  Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
    Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments. 
    Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe.  Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

  • I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone becaus the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
    Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 is not ringing, or notifying me when i get a text message or email

    My iphone4 is not ringing, or notifying me when I get a text message or email. It does however vibrate, the alarm works, and I am able to play music. The button to swith vibrate on and off, seems to not be working. Also, the sound buttons. The up button does not work, but the down button does. I have restarted, restored, and changed the ring. Nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you go about getting it fixed?

    Did you accidentally move the slider button above the volume control to the "off" position (orange dot visible)? My husband used to do that all the time.

  • IPhone 4S isn't telling me when I get a text message

    Ill get a text message or iMessage and it won't have a banner or anything on the lock screen so ill unlock my phone and the message will just be there this started happening right after I updated to 6.1.3 how can I fix this?

    Check if there's a moon icon on the top right of the screen by the battery icon. If you see that icon your "Do not disturb" is on; turn it off and it should fix the problem. I don't recall turning that function on in the first place, but when I checked it was enabled.

    Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

  • Iphone 5 crops picture when send it via text message.to  with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side.  Any help?

    I have iphone 5 and when I take picture and then later send it via text message to another person with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side.  Any help?

    Make sure the contact has a 10-digit number, not just the 7-digit number.
    If that isn't it, does the problem only happen with iMessages, SMS or MMS messages?
    Try tapping Settings > Messages, then turn SMS and MMS off. Test, then repeat again only leaving SMS or MMS on.

  • Parents iphone and my iphone activated with same email, now parents gets my text messages from freinds?

    Hi my parents iphone(4s) and my iphone(5c) were activated with the same email now when I get a text message(imessage) from a friend they also receive the message my friend sent, so how would I turn this off on their phone; because I dont want them to read what my friend is sending me?

    Hi cloudhalo,
    Based on your description that both phones are receiving each other's messages, you may need to make sure that the phone numbers aren't both linked to the same Apple ID, and/or adjust which addresses the phones are set to send and receive messages from. You may find the information outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Why does it have to be tethered???

    Hi, So I'm just about ready to buy the ipad. But I am having a big problem understanding WHY this thing cannot be used in my household, because my 2 apples run Tiger. If its a matter of an occasional update, I could take it to work to do that. I phoned the apple store, the rep said It can't work or sync without Leopard within my home wireless network. I also have within my wireless network 2.5 terabit of hard-drive and the rep was unsure if the ipad could see that either...
    Both of my computers are pre Intel processor, so I read that leopard & snow leopard are out of the question on my computers.
    If this is suppose the be the next big thing, Why does it have to be tethered to ANY computer. This IS sold as a wireless device, NOT an extension to another computer. Am I getting bad info or what.
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    All is not lost, I think. It's true that you'll need either Leopard or a Windows machine with the latest iTunes in order to get the iPad going. But you're right, you can just do that at work. The iPad will work perfectly after that without ever synching it again. You can do everything from the iTunes store from the iPad itself.
    However, if you want to synch your music not bought at iTunes, as well as iPhone apps and contacts then you're going to have to find a compatible computer to do it on. It needs the latest iTunes which doesn't run on Tiger. But once you've synched you don't really need to do it again unless you want to add a lot of music from another source than iTunes. Of course, synching also backs up the iPad, don't forget.
    As far as the gigundo drive, if the iPad doesn't recognize it, all you have to do is copy what you want synched to a smaller drive (or even a DVD) and use that instead.
    Hope that helps. The iPad is most definitely an independent device but it does need a compatible computer if you want to synch stuff to it from elsewhere.
