I purchased from China (I am in Australia) a IPhone 3GS with iOS 4.1. If I try to update iOS it goes all silly and won't work properly. What can I do to upgrade iOS
Last year I brought from China (I am in Australia) an IPhone 3GS with operating system of 4.1 This IPhone came brand new in box etc. I want to update the operating system because a lot of the apps need newer software, however It will not work properly or update. Why?
Your headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is.

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Ipod touch won't work properly in my car since i installed ios 4.3.5
I have a kia sorento 2011 wich comes with the usb cord for ipod. Since i installed ios 4.3.5 on my ipod, theres an annoying noise louder than the music. Also, my wall charger doesn't work anymore. Can i do something ?
After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

I have iPhone 3GS with OS4.2. To, I try to upgrade it with ituon 6.1.1. After upgrade I unable activate my iPhone. Then I try to restore back, but after restore, I still unable to activate my phone. I with T- mobile, but they told me to call Apple. Please help!
Your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken in order to unlock to to work with T-Mobile. When you updated it you broke the hack and the iPhone is now locked again to the original cell provider, most likely AT&T.
You can see about unlocking it with AT&T by using this form, if you qualify: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/termsAndCondition
After unlocking you will need to use Google and learn the procedure to clear the unlock hack and Restore it. -

Since updating to ios 6 yesterday, my ebooks won't work properly. They jump from first page of one chapter onto first page of next chapter. Obviously missing all the pages in between. Anyone else having this problem? Help please....
I have a similar problem with Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Step by Step. This ebook worked fine until I upgraded to ios 6.

I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store. They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app. Any suggestions?
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?
Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

i am downloading music from itunes it shows on my purchased playlist but when i try to transfer it onto a specific playlist it won't transfer across what do i need to do
When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.
Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons. -
