I have just bought an iphone 3G not 3Gs, the operating system is 4.2.1. I know I cannot update this but why can't I buy music ringtones.

I have just purchased an iphone 3 (not 3Gs) and am happy with it but why can't I purchase a music ringtone or any ringtone other than the pre installed list?

iOS 4.2.1 is the most recent, and probably last, version that an iPhone 3G can run. If you need apps that require IOS 4.3 or later, you're stuck. You should have purchased an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, all of which can run iOS 5.
Regards.

If you are using English as your language, then Siri should be available.
Have you registered your iPhone with Apple? If not, please do to confirm that you in FACT have an iPhone 4S.
You can do so here:

Have just bought an iphone - help

I have just bought an iphone in my lunch hour and thought I will charge it this afternoon at work so when I get home I can get on with activating it but it doesnt have a charger plug, just something that connects to the computer. Is this how you charge it?
Any beginners tips would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Loobs, your iPhone should have come with a wall charger that you plug that USB cord into. It can charge from the wall or your PC with the same cord. Also your iPhone has an internal Li-ion battery. These batteries do not develop a charge 'memory' like batteries of old. It is actually best to not let it run down all the way very often as this will deplete its life span much faster. I normally charge mine every night and the battery still works as good as it did in July '07. As others have mentioned there is a quick start guide in the box that should answer most of your questions. The entire activation process is done through itunes and really takes less than 10 minutes to get it working and guides you through every step with ease.

I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes. It says it needs iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed. I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3. What do I do??

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

I just bought an iPhone 4 a few weeks back. I tried to delete their icloud account, and add mine but it's asking for a password to delete it. I have no way to get in contact with them. Is there any way around it?

There's no way around it. The former owner needs to erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. No one else can help with this, including Apple.

HT1695 I just bought an iphone and an ipad, the ipad connects to my BT Homehub fine but my phone won't connect at all.. any suggestions?

I just bought an iphone and an ipad, the ipad connects to my BT Homehub but my phone won't connect at all. The phone has connected to other networks fine... any suggestions?

When and where was the iPad/charger purchased? It's covered by a 1-year warranty.
The problem may be the USB cable.

Please answer the question: Will you need to share files with people who have current versions of InDesign?

HT3209 I know my computer cannot play HD but why can I not purchase HD on my computer for my iPAD which can play HD?

Fast answers:
1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

I have just bought an iphone 4s and backed it up from my 3gs. have now deleted 3gs backup and it will not back the 4S up. just sits int he candy stripes saying backing up iphone

I have just purchased a iPhone 4S outright and I backed it up through iTunes from a previous backup of my 3GS. I have deleted that previous back up and now when I connect this 4S to iTunes to sync, it sits in Backing Up "Julie's IPhone" with the candy stripes, it will not proceed further. Even when I try to restore (with back up) it sits in this. I have to keep disconnecting and trying again. Please help, this is driving me insane!!!

yes everything that should be on is enabled.

I just got an iphone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the start screen, the search box shows up. But when I type what I want to search, there is no action. Please help.

Try this...
You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

I tried its not working can anyone pls help me i judt wanns be able to use my uphone to tje fullest of its abilitys!!!

iOS 4.2.1 is the final version of iOS that an iPhone 3G will run, so you will not be able to use any apps that require iOS 4.3 or later. There is no way to get any later version of iOS onto your iPhone without serious hacking, something we cannot discuss here.
You do not get the option to update iOS directly from an iPhone until you have iOS 5 or later.

I have just bought a ipad and cant get the email link to work that verifies my email address, any idea?

I have just bought a ipad and the link that has been sent to my email acount will not work when i try to verify the email address, i have been sent the link 3 times by apple and none of them work. any Ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake (top right edge) buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
