I have the iPhone 4S, IOS 7 Version: I am unable to update my contacts via Facebook? I have tried settings facebook. update contacts and it does nothing?

Unable to update my facebook contacts with my iphone 4S IOS 7 version. Have tried setting>facebook> update contacts it does nothing

Same problem here. Just added a friend on Facebook and I'm trying to find a way to make him show up in my contacts list. I tried the "Update Contacts" mentioned above, also logged out of Facebook in the settings and logged back in and tried to update again and he's still not turning up.
While looking into this I also noticed a bunch of contacts who don't have duplicates and whose info seems only to be coming from my Google account although I'm friends with them on Facebook and I'd like to have both sets of info available in one place.
So something with the syncing is not working right.
(Also working with 4S & iOS 7)
Edit - ended up in this thread through a search and only just now noticed it's probably in the wrong place in "iPhone Hardware". Anyway if anyone has any pointers that would be greatly appreciated, if not I'll take this to a more appropriate sub-forum.

I have the iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1) and I cannot update to iOS 5.

I have the iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1) and I cannot update to iOS 5. iTunes tells me my current version is the latest version. I have the latest version of iTunes.
Any advice?

The iPhone 3G came out about 4 years ago, and the hardware they had at that time can not support the latest and greatest iOS 5.

Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
Any clue?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I have the iphone 4. how do i remove frozen apps that havent fully installed?, i have the iphone 4. how do i remove frozen apps that havent fully installed?

my facebook and tumblr apps kept logging out. soo ii deleted them. then tried to re instal them. but midway through installing them they stop and now both say waiting and ii cant delete them. what do ii do?

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

I have an iphone 4 (ios 4.3.1). I want to update to the latest ios, but it wouldn't load onto my iphone, I got error message code 3014. I tried again and it said I would lose all the contents on my iphone if I continued - help!

I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.1) and it was synced and backed up today.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest ios on iTunes (today's date is 3rd Jan 2013), it seemed to download ok (it took about 30 minutes or so), but when it tried to update onto the iPhone (I think this was what it was doing!) I got an error message that had code 3014 in it. Nowhere on Apple's website can I find a way to resolve this error code.
I then thought I would just try again from the beginning, but I then got an error message saying that if I continued I would lose all the contents on my iPhone so I cancelled it as I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
Can anyone help me as I am not very good at technical things and I really want to upgrade the ios on my iPhone without losing all the data I have on there already. An idiots guide would be great.
Thanks.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

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".

HT4623 What is the most current iOS version for iPhone 3G?

I have an iPhone 3G, what is the most current iOS version? I have 4.2.1 and when I tried to update, iTunes says that I have the current version. I can't seem to download any apps with 4.2.1.

That is correct,
The last release of iOS to support the 3G model was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010
The 3G model is now 4 and half years old.

I have an iphone 5, iOS 7.0.2. Going through photos on facebook app., above on the screen, came up "saving screenshot"....but there was nothing in camera roll. What does it mean this, what's are this screenshots?

I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

I have the Iphone 4s. If I try to download the iOS 7, will this affect any of the apps I already have. (I have an app with a lot of my baby's information that I don't want to lose)

I have the Iphone 4s. If I try to download the iOS 7, will this affect any of the apps I already have. (I have an app with a lot of my baby's information that I don't want to lose). Or is iOS 8 better to download?

My biggest suggestion would be to check and make sure that the app works with iOS 8. If their app is not compatible, then there is a possibility that the app will crash every time you open it or some other way that makes the app unusable and then you would be unable to access that data. As long as the app is compatible with iOS 8 then updating your OS shouldn't cause you to lose any of the information within the app. As others are suggested, make sure you have a backup but just note that once you update to iOS 8 you cannot revert back to an older version. Find out if your app has any way to export the information to another format that you can save and access via a computer before updating.
And what app have you seen that works in iOS 7 that doesn't work in iOS 8?

I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts, is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?

I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts anymore(the button edit doesn't exist anymore), is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?

That's exactly right. And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes). In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored. That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos. But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine! Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there. They will be safe there.

I have the iphone 4. Before I update to ios 5.1, do I first need to update (in sequence) ios 5 and ios 5.0.1

Hi there.
Have an iphone 3G and wen to install the Facebook app from the app store. Wen I selected install app, it said that the iphone requires IOS 4.3.
I then plugged the phone into itunes and it said the phone was up to date (IOS 4.2.2 I think it said?). How can i install these apps, the same happened and other apps i tried to install. Any advice would be much apprecaited

Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do and you CAN'T install these apps becuse your phone is too old. A 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2, which is the most it can support and these apps need iOS 4.3 or above to be installed and there are no versions of these apps available.
Developers have to place a cut off somewhere and keep developing for the most recent software that does not now include the 3G.
If you want to install these apps on your phone, then you will have to upgrade to either an iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, 4s or 5. That is all you can do because you won't be able to download these apps on an iPhone 3G - just not possible any longer.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
