I've restored my iphone 3GS but screen has overlapping pictures
After restoring the phone, the picture of the connecting cable + disc + note symbol are still visible below the standard icons. The screen is also much brighter on the right hand side than the left.
Is the screen faulty or can this be fixed by making some sort of adjustment?
I've tried to adjust brightness, it makes no difference.
The phone is brand new, if it is faulty will it be covered by guarantee?
Thanks
Sonia
If you now have the device set to perform icloud backups (and not itunes backups), then most likely you lost the backup data. The real question is whether the Apple data like contacts have also been updated to the old data.
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they have changed, then the newer data is lost. Do the same with the other data pages, like calendars, etc.

Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

If you have a corporate Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can requre encrypted backups. Try the password for your Exchange account.

I just downloaded ios5 to my iPhone 3gs but nothing has changed i have no notification center or anything help!
Hi,
Just updated Mac with Lion Recovery and Mac OSX update, then updated my iPhone 3Gs with V5 software. Here is a screen shot of my notification center.
Have to say all went extremely smoothly along with a few cups of coffee, only thing that happened was after I hooked up to iCloud I needed to get an iPhoto update in order to get photo stream working, which I did and all is fine.
Once again a big thank you to Apple and all the hard working tech people.
Not sure what has happend but are you sure that the upgrade took? Just check your software version in settings > general > about. -

Was restoring my iPhone 3gs but am unable to sync my contacts.
it keeps saying my iPhone is disconnected for some reason. The contacts however have got uploaded on the phone after serval attempts. I however am not able to sync the phone with the computer. Every time i sync it keeps showing the same error message. Also my sms es were not restored.
pls helpIf you aren't already, try connecting the iPhone to the back of your Mac using the cable that came with it. You may also want to disconnect the other USB devices.
If that doesn't do it, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection -
Please help, I am trying to restore my iphone 3gs, but i keep getting errors like 11 which is not listed in this site and i alos get error 1 and -1. please help.
Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update! -

i tried to restore my iphone 3GS with the OS 5.1.1 but failed and itunes show an unknow error (29), what can i do? my phone is usless now
Somebody help!What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.

i have restored my iphone 3gs and put my sim card in it but it will no longer activate. my power button is broken so i cannot turn it off. what can i do to fix this??
Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

i have restored my iphone 4s but now it just keeps staying at the apple screen. what should i do?
Take your phone back to the store where you got it. Tell them if they can't get it activated, you want your money back. Then purchase a new iPhone 4S.

hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!
If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios. -
HT1414 restoring my iphone 3gs is not completeing and the phone is not working
restoring my iphone 3gs is not completing and my phone is not working i took it to my local phone shop they told me that the new itunes will not fit onto the iphone 3gs, how can i get my phone to work.
If your restore is failing, there could be MANY issues... You may need to restore the phone back to "new phone" during the restore... PAY ATTENTION HERE... You will lose ALL contacts, photos, videos, voice memos, etc... But you will be able to re-add your apps< and music through itunes. that is very last resort though. if that doesnt work, I would look into updateing your phone. Personally I wouldn't get the 5, just because I dont need the additonal size screen... I have the 4S and LOVE it!! but, do some research, and see what you can find on the matter. But it sounds like your headed down hill fast with that phone... May be best just to upgrade and save yourself the frustration...

i have been trying to upload more music to my iphone 3gs but whenever i try to even click on the artist or name buttons in itunes they dont get highlighted or anything all i can do is play music from my phone through itunes ... if you know of anything i have done wrong plz tell me how to fix (besides restore)
Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!
