How to recover photos from photo in Iphone 3GS after updating to the IOS 6.0.1?

How to recover photos from photo in Iphone 3GS after updating to the IOS 6.0.1?

Hello vikings2013
You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

HT1937 I have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1, the ios6.1 got downloaded but while installing it, it say "We are unable to continue, we can't activate the iphone at this time"

Hi ,
I am using iphone 3gs and have unlocked it officially from apple. Now when I tried to upgarde to ios6.1 I was able to download the ios software on my iphone successfully, but when it started installing the ios on my iphone it restarted my iphone and now it says " We are unable to countinue, we cannot activate the iphone at this time. The activtation server is currently down please try after sometime or you can also activate it by connecting to iTunes." .
Please anyone can help in either resolving this issue or restoring it back to my original ios5.1.

This generally is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to unlock it from the original wireless provider and the update
has relocked it to that carrier. You must contact the wireless provider it
is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Exactly how did you get Apple to unlock your 3gs? Only wireless carriers
unlock iPhones; Apple does not do so.

I have my old iPhone 3GS that I only use as an iPod but I've forgotten the password and am locked out. My iTunes account is linked to my iPhone4 and I'm lost as to how I can get back into my old iPhone3GS. Can someone PLEASE help me??

Does anyone know how I can get my old one unlocked?

If you have the computer to which the iPhone was last synched, you can restore the iPhone on that computer. That will remove the lock. If not, then you have absolutely no choice but to place the phone into recover mode (search Google for instructoins) and restore the phone as a NEW device.

TS3198 my iphone restore said congratulations your phone is now unlock but wont use any carriers besides att

So i did the unlock got it all and checked on att and they said it was unlocked. i did the restore to ios 5.1 and activated it and all. when i put in my t-mobile sim it didnt even said there was no sim card install i checked the carrier and it says it is still on att 12.0 for carrier. what do i do?

1# Make sure you have an internet connection in iTunes.
2# An AT&T Real MicroSIM(not one that has been cut down) must be in the phone.
3# Restore in iTunes.
Hope this helps!!

I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

You can restore a backup of the old device to a new one. This will erase everything on the new one before restoring, so this may be an issue if you already have data on the new device.
To do a backup of the old device, iTunes is the safest route, in my opinion. Many users have lost photos when performing a restore from an icloud backup.
An icloud backup does not include everything. For example,only photos in camera roll are backed up. Also, music is not backed up since you get it back from itunes and (for purchased music) from the itunes store.
To restore:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

HT201269 I have lost my iPhone 3GS. It was backed up to my computer using iTunes. I now have a new iPhone 4 series from a friend. How can I restore the backup information for my previous phone to the new phone?

I have lost my iphone 3GS. It was backed up to my macbook pro using itunes. I now have a new iphone series 4 (china model). How can I access the backup information for my old phone and put it on my new one?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:
Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

i'm a new user on iPhone. My sister gave me her old iPhone that she bought in UK, she she it here in the Philippines and i'm having problems because i can't use it. i already restored it to set it up new but i couldn't still activate it. It says, " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." and "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information."
what should i do for me to be able to use it?
please help!
Thank you very much!

It is locked to your sisters carrier.
She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

I have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
3 - ???
4 - profitt!
might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

Iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..

iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..

Hello skyway9992,
It sounds like you cannot activate your iPhone 3GS after restoring it. I found an article that has steps for troubleshooting an activation issue on an iPhone.
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
I have included the steps from that article here:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
