IOS 4.2.1 update problems on iPhone 3G

I have noticed a few problems with the update. My iPhone is now back to being slow and choppy. My battery drains a lot faster. And when I go to the app store, it will only show some of the pictures of the apps, I have to close it and open it again to make it start showing pictures again. Also, my signal strength on both the cell service and WIFI fluctuate more that it did prior to the update. I have never seen my WIFI signal drop inside my house until I updated to this version of the iOS.
Also, about the slow and choppy problem....prior to iOS 4.2.1, a Genius Bar employee told me to re-setup the phone as new and then sync all my info. back on the phone. It was a pain to deal with reseting all of my setting, however it did help the speed of the phone on iOS 4.1 and I was enjoying my iPhone again, however as soon as I updated to iOS 4.2.1, it was back to being slow and choppy as I noted above.

Bought an iPhone 3GS, so this is no longer an issue.

HT4623 The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying the picture: iTunes and a USB plug. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lawrence.
I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and other suggestions first, which turned out unrelated.
I've finally fixed the issue by plugging the cable in the USB 3 ports in the back of PC instead of the ports in the front, the iTunes saw the phohe and the recovery started automatically.
In the hindsight, I realized that the either the required prerequisite iTunes 11.1.5.5 update installed a USB driver incompatible with my PC's front side USB ports that I always used for my iPhone syncing prior or it was always
incompatible, but worked in all modes except the recovery.

Trying to Restore Iphone, IOS 6.1.3 update Problems

I am trying to restore my ihpone. The latest software is updated to IOS 6.1.3, I tell itunes to restore my iphone. The restore function then tries to download the latest IOS 6.1.3, eventhough it has already been installed. Then while downloading IOS 6.1.3, although I don't need it, an error pops up and says it timed out.
How to I restore my iphone 4s?
Computer MacBook Pro.

There is nothing that you can do now except to restore the device. The iPad will not work until you restore the iOS. Don't your students backup? I would assume that iPads being used in the classroom would be backed up on a regular basis. If they do backup, you can restore the iOS, then restore from the student backup and either sync his content back to the iPad if you are using iTunes, or download it again in the various purchased tabs of the iStores on the iPad.

Update problem with iphone 3GS to last night update IOS 4.2

Hi
last night i update my iphone 3GS to new IOS 4.2, and from this time i cannot use the iphone anymore, there is a message on the iphone asking to connect to itunes, but when i connect the iphone there is another message informing that they do not find the apple mobile device driver
please help
many thanks in advance

What worked for me was not on the Apple troubleshooting list. I tried the whole list.
First, I reset the phone. (Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time. Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.)
Second, I restored the phone.
I could not restore the phone until I reset it.
Good luck.

IOS 5.0.1 update on an iPhone 4S: "not eligible for the requested build"???

I just connected my iPhone 4S to iTunes and clicked "update". It downloaded the update (took about 10 minutes), and then reports: "The iPhone could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
I thought the iPhone 4S was the main target audience for this update? (though actually, I haven't had battery life issues with 5.0 on my iPhone, by my iPad 1 has had the auto time zone problem from the moment I updated— so I'm actually hoping for it more for the iPad than the iPhone...)
Is there something else coming eventually for the 4S ??

Over the air worked for the iPhone— but why shouldn't the iTunes update work, too?
I get the same error (not eligible) for my iPad 1 in iTunes, but I can't seem to do an over the air update on that one, because after downloading, it just says "Software Update Failed: An error occurred downloading iOS 5.0.1". I don't know if there are different servers for iPads vs iPhones, but I guess I'll just wait and try the iPad later. (ironically, it was only the iPad, not the iPhone, that had any battery issues with iOS5, due to the auto time zone thing. The iPhone was fine, so the update was less urgent for it anyway...)
Anyway, that's now an iPad problem, not an iPhone problem!

IOS 5.0.1 Update Problems

IOS 5.1 Update Text Message Tone Problems.
I have a 3 G S Iphone and updated to ISO 5.1 which since then have had problems with phone text message alerts being distorted.
My daughter has a iphone 4 which hers did the same but far worse. It was taken back to Apple Store where they say they havent heard anything about this problem.
They replaced my daughters phone for a brand new one and this one is doing the same also.
Anyone else experiencing this problem????

Lizzie7, I've had SO many problems with my iPhone 3Gs since I upgraded and of course Apple says they don't see anything wrong. My issue is I either upgrade to the iPhone 4s or go to another phone all together. I just don't want to keep dealing with this every year when they decide to upgrade their software. I think it's wrong that they do this and I believe they are aware it's a problem. I have a friend who works for Apple and he said they do put code in there that slows the older phones down and cause problems so you will upgrade. If this is in fact true, I'm very disappointed in Apple.

Ios 7.1.2 update problems

After the latest 7.1.2 update my iphone 5S does not play my ringtones (despite them being checked in contact info), does not address battery problems, and has duplicated my 500 contacts which I have set to display last, first names. Now I have that plus first, last names. I have checked my address book on my MacBook Pro and it is correct. I have synced at least six times to no avail. AND, it has installed ALL of my iTunes songs despite having indicated to only sync selected/checked songs. These bugs have doubled my GBs usage. Also, the new software update for the MacBook has created some issues in the first half-hour: iTunes unexpectedly quit (for no apparent reason), mail is not downloading. I have restarted both the phone and the macbook - however; no resolution.
HELP? THX
