IPhone 3G's Watch app and time setting not functional
Hi guys. I have this little problem with my iPhone 3g 2.1. It won't open the Watch app, nor the "Date & Time" in the general settings. Everytime I try to open any of 'em, it just simply returns to home screen. Anyone got this problem? How do you solve it? Thanks.
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

It seems like you might be having an issue with one of the features of Continuity in Yosemite and iOS 8. I have an article for you that should be able to help you address this issue:

Where can I find the app "password Saver" by yonglin wang? while updating my iphone the app was dropped for some reason. I went to reload from my purchased apps and it is not available. The history shows my purchase but I can not find the app to reload. I've lost some critical info and need to retreive if possible. Any suggestions?
You tried what ? If the app is no longer available in the store (can you find it in the main part of the store ?) for re-downloading then you would need to have a copy of it somewhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, on a backup of your downloads.

how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?
Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com. login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

The setting date and time is not working
Bought an apple TV, installed it as per instruction, connected to my internet but the seting date and time is not occuring and the activation cannot occur either. Spent 1 hr on the phone with Apple support staff - they told me it may be a router blockage and to contact my internet provider. contacted internet provider , they tell me everything is working from their end so must be the apple TV device. I was told this was easy techonology and that I would not have issues - I have spent 3 hrs on this and truly frustrated as its not working . any suggestions would help!
That would be a network issue as you were initially advised. When the date and time can not be set it means it is having trouble connecting to the network.
Make sure router is up to date, reboot router and ATV. Make sure location is set correctly via ATV and also DNS (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)
Make sure your router allows access over port 123.
Failing that try a restore on the unit -
The date and time is not working after setting it to current date and goes back to may,26 2011
the date and time is not working after setting it to current date and goes back to may,26 2011; 2 PM . I bought my ipod tocuh 4th gen on july 18th
On the iPod, make sure your Calendar is set to Gregorian (Settings > General > International > Calendar). Also make sure your date and time on your computer is correct as well as the Time Zones on both.

help me
My iPhone is in recovery mode and I do not see it on my laptop and on iTunes. Moreover, I can not turn it off and when I try it comes up all the time in the recovery mode.Hey Yan Heng,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iOS device is not recognized in iTunes for Windows, while in recovery mode. The following resource may help to resolve your issue. While you should run through each step, the specific information related to your symptom is outlined in Step 5 (If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode).

I have read that this is a common question, but I just don't understand and need it explained to me in a simple manner.. I'm not very "tech savvy". Why would music and apps NOT be included in a back up?? Where are they now? Apple replaced my iPhone so I don't even have to old one for reference. I can re-download my apps at no extra cost, but it seems like in order to re-download my music, I would have to pay for it again! What to do???
Apps and music do not need to be saved in the backup, they are already in iTunes. iTunes contains your music library and your apps. Apps can be transferred to the iTunes library as necessary, but music should be housed there. If it is all music that you downloaded from iTunes, then you can put it there the same was as you do apps, but transferring purchases.

My iMessage and Facetime won't activate, says waiting for activation. All photos and contacts are restored, using email and wifi only, no service. Only issue is date and time will not automatically set.
Howdy eewebe13,
So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
Please step through this article for that scenario.
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

IPhone step counter/human app and others, dup readings?
I have a iPhone 6+ most recent update. In iHealth it looks like I am getting duplicate readings or something. Too many steps and too far distance. I have multi fitness apps. I want to use the Human app and Runkeeper, iSmoothRun, FitStar, Elliptical. Weight apps not included in list. Today I will turn of tracking before I do an exercise. I have gone into background refresh and disabled some apps from refreshing. In iHealth I went to sources and select some apps and told them not to read. What is the proper setup using iHealth so this doesn't happen?

I can not back up my iphone because it is locked and I can not remember the code
I can not back up my iphone because it is locked and I can not remember the code
You're out of luck, then. Either that is not the computer it's set up to sync with, or the passcode was set AFTER the last time you synced, as Lawrence tried to explain.
You're going to lose your data.
