IPhone 3G still has major probs

got latest update monday...
still lags a lot when pulling up different aspects like phone or text. even answering a phone call can put a taxation on the phone.
completely stops receiving emails. it just randomly stops collecting email on ALL accounts. POP accounts to the mobile me accounts... it just stops
i still have to hard reset the phone at least once a day to collect emails.
also.. why is there a 4-5 pixel shortage on the screen size? my old iphone had the screen work all the way to the edge of the phone. this one has a nice black box surrounding the smaller screen.
is this my phone only or is this a software issue? i want to know because i need this fixed asap.. especially when using this as a tool for my business. i can't keep missing emails on a constant basis.

Maybe......

Hi I originally had my itunes on an old computer, but now I put it on a new computer. My iphone 4s still has pictures on it that were synched from the old computer, but are not on my new computer. My iphone will not let me delete them.

Hi my iphone 4s still has pictures on it from my old computer. I recently put my itunes on a new computer and the old photos albums can not be deleted off my iphone. It is taking up too much room and I want them off. How do i get rid of them if they are not on my new computer?

Yes. You can import those current pics on your phone to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
then you can sync it back to your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
If you don't want to do this, then you will have to live with those sync pics on yoru phone.

IPhone 3G still has my name.

I have an iPhone 3G. I have restored it to factory settings using iTunes and removed the SIM. However, in Settings - General - About, it still has my name as the name of the iPhone. How do I delete this please?

Okay I've done that. iPhone is now instructing me to connect to my computer so it can access iTunes and it has this message: 'No SIM card installed. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone.'
I can't progress past this stage without doing one of the above, but I don't want to in case it then picks up any information from either of those two sources. What do I do now?
What are you trying to do?
Why not put the SIM in and activate the iPhone?

Iphone 4s still has version 4.2.8 how do I update it?

My phone is the iphone 4s. It still has version 4.2.8 and when I go to Settings, General, it doesn't list the current version or give me an update option for the iphone.

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1 for an iPhone 4S.

If you have purchased a used iPhone which still has the warranty one it can you still use it even thought its a used phone ?

my dad had purchased an i phone 5 from someone who was selling who had gotten it from soneone else it i have gotten it unlocked and it has been unlocked it is not reported stolen or anything i used and online imei checker and it says the warenty exprires jan 15 2014 i just want to know if i can use that warenty even though i do not know the apple id it is regersterd on or anything ? also what is the canadian number i can call to get this info if you dont know the =answer

The warranty follows the device, not the owner. If you have the device, if there is a warranty issue with the device, you can get it replaced. If you got it officially unlocked by the carrier it was locked to, then you have nothing to worry about it locking back if you do a restore. You may, however run in to activation problems if the device has iOS 7 on it. You will need the Apple ID and password for the person that originally activated the phone, and it sounds as if it has changed hands several times. If you cannot find that original Apple ID and password, then the phone will not be able to activate and no one will be able to help you with that, including Apple.

HT4623 i updated my new iphone 5 and restored it but it still says no service and my iphone 4 still has service. how do i switch over? thanks

What do i do to give the iphone 5 service and take it away from my iphone 4? thanks!

There are no instructions for this included with the phone. You need to contact your carrier to activate your phone. If you are on AT&T, you can activate through the AT&T Wireless website. Search for "activate" on the site. You will be asked to confirm two of the phone's identification numbers. Be sure your phone is powered off and leave it off for 15 minutes before activating. Your old phone will be deactivated at the same time your new phone gets service.

Why a low memory error when the iPhone 4 still has plenty of storage?

In diagnostics I had a low memory error. This is just a little of some of what I think is called a snap shot?
LArgest process: meddiaserverd
EscrowSecurityAI<298081b.......
MobileMail<f262d66a......
FaceTime<5796d685.......
also camera, identity services, CVMServer...and many more but I am confused most with the line that said itunesstored. I can provide more info if necessary. There's 8.4 available on the phones internal storage so I'm concerned about this error. I appreciate any info at all. Thanks

I will need to read up on this before I have more discussions. I better make this short if you don't mind one more inquiry. I work almost soley from my phone. I have a store on the Internet. My husband however uses his phone very little but his is the one saying low memory and some areas he has way more data and we can't figure it out. I have 4000 and more emails he has 300 but he has over 300mb more in use. Same with home screen, security, messaging service. His google browser also three times more data than mine and I'm sure my phone has became a part of my hand cause I am always working and I never had low memory and I would think I'd have way more data. He has 7 apps I have 47. Any ideas why. Could someone have hacked his phone

Itunes 7.0.1 still has major problems with jerky video

I thought the newest update to Itunes 7 would fix my problems with jerky video that have begun since this Itunes 7 came out. At first I thought maybe my computer was too old (powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz, with maxed out RAM) to play the new resolution, but then I realized that even my old TV shows had jerky playback. It doesn't seem to matter what size. The audio works fine, but the video freezes every few seconds. This is not really acceptable and I'm thinking about uninstalling Itunes 7 until apple issues a fix that address this video playback issue. Anyone have any suggestions or heard anything? Thanks!
- Tpetdoctor

I located the problem of the jerky (1 to 2 frames per second) video that started after updating to iTunes7 and 7.0.1!
Dragging (copying) the file "ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle" from system/library/extensions/ to the desktop and deleting it from the extensions folder (or else simply deleting it and then dragging it from the trash to the desktop) returns normal smooth video to non-H.264 mpeg video on my second generation iMac (ATI Radeon 9600). Unfortunately, this also makes Coverflow stop working with the message "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I'm not sure what else will be disabled by moving this file.
Obviously, this is not a solution, or even a feasible workaround. Where can I get a "good" ATI driver? I went to the ATI site "https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&fold erID=27" and tried installing "macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg", but to no avail.

Cant finish download on update for iphone 4 still has original version software help!!!!l on

there is also an error when it downloads

Hi angiegirl1107, I had the same problem, this is what worked for me.
(This is assuming you are running a Mac with iTunes, not Windows... you haven't actually said..
Also, I don't have any 3rd party security software, the only Firewall I have is the one that's included in Mac Operating System.
1) go into System Preferences, select 'Security'
2) select the Firewall tab.
3) select the Stop button to turn off the firewall (you may be required to click the lock bottom left, and enter your password, to change this.)
4) now go back to itunes and try your download. For me it worked.
5) after download, go back to Security preferences and turn the Firewall back on.
cheers JD

IPhone 5s (new) has terrible reception, 5 PICS included. -115 db reading!?!

I just got an iPhone 5s. FIRST THING I noticed when I was getting ready to walk out the Verizon store - my iPhone 5s was reading "3 bars of 3G service" inside the Verzon store. What!? Every other device in the store has bull 5 FULL bars of LTE service (I know stores have their own boosters inside) but even with the booster I was getting only 3 bars 3G service inside the store!! I went back inside and asked the lady at the counter, she said it was "normal for the phone to have bad reception and switch between LTE and 3G during first day".... I didn't really believe her, but I said okay and left figuring I'd wait 24 hours to test it. As I figured, that wasn't true. The iPhone 5s has been having both poor reception and worse speeds on the same Wifi compared to both the iPhone and iPhone 4s, side by side.
Right now, In my home I CONSTANTLY locked onto one 1 single bar of LTE service. The coverage map shows I am in a full LTE area, and my street is a full LTE area. So it's not that. If I turn "LTE OFF" the bars increase to 3 to 4 bars. This means that the LTE signal is weak at my home. But I'm NOT turning LTE off, why would I want an iPhone 5s if I wanted to use 3G service?? The iPhone 5s is suppose to have better LTE reception and more bands....BUT: THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS THE iPhone 5s in 3G mode vs the iPhone 4s in 3G mode, and yet again the iPhone 5s has worse reception..
I've tried to: turn off LTE, turn it back on. RESTART network settings. HARD reset phone over 4 times.. I've done an icloud back up over 3 times. Nothing has improved it. After looking at the pics, is this NORMAL for the iPhone 5s to have these problems? Should I exchange it in back for the regular iPhone 5?? I still have time left to exchange it. I don't think a NEW iPhone 5s will fix the problem, as I've read online the 5s has MANY reception issues...Although I suppose I could try an exchange one time, but the iPhone 5s still has problems after the exchange will they still let me switch back to the iPhone 5? (It's only been 3 days, so still 12 days remaining). I would ask a customer service rep, but they aren't very honest so I will not take their word for it.
HERE ARE THE PICS showing MULTIPLE PROBLEMS from Signal problems to Wifi problems to Ping problems, etc...:
PIC #1: (BELOW) Showing Verizon iPhone 5s with LTE on VS Verizon iPhone 4s (a non LTE phone). This pic is just showing the reception/BARS only.
iPhone 5s ON THE LEFT with the iPhone 4s on the right. The 5s only has 1 bar. The iPhone 4s has many bars. But bars aren't everything, so here's them in field test mode:
PIC #2 (BELOW)
The Verizon 5s on left has a -115 DB reading (that's HORRIBLE) vs the Verizon 4s that has a -80 DB reading (good)
PIC #3 (BELOW): This is showing that even on the SAME Wifi, in the same spot, the 5s is pulling SLOWER speeds, pretty big difference. I've ran this test 20+ tests, same results every time the iPhone 5s loses sometimes by 1mbps othertimes by 5+ mbps, again on the same Wifi in same spot.
Pic #4 (BELOW) :Here is the test where the 5s came VERY CLOSE to the 4s in terms of download Speed, but LOOK AT THE PING, HUGE PING DIFFERENCE. Again SAME Wifi in SAME spot.
Notice the 5s has a ping of 45? While the 4s has a ping of 18? Big difference. Also the 5s had 1.88 upload, while the 4s had 3.13 upload.....
Pic #5: I just thought I'd compare the Verizon 5s to a Verizon LG flip-phone... Even the flip-phone gets better service!!!
This is just pathetic... The iPhone is suppose to have TWO great Atennea, and the improved technology over the years is suppose to have BETTER reception.. Nope, not on mine. The flip phone constantly gets 4+ bars of service, somtimes full.
LAST PICTURE: (3G VS 3G in field test mode)
Pic 6:
The 5s on the left has a -94 DB reading, while the iPhone 4s has a -84 DB reading. THEY ARE BOTH ON 3G MODE, side by side. Yet still, even if I turn on iPhone 5s to 3G only it still has worse quality.... I've tested everything I can think of, and the iPhone 5s is doing worse in everything!!

BTW, I have done 25 speed tests witin the last 2 hours ALL IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. Verizon LTE network is averaging about 6mbps download speed, where in the store they where doing 40mbps++. That's a huge difference. In some areas when I got 5 full bars of LTE, I did a speed-test assuming I'd be blazing fast. Results? 1st result: 10.23mbps with 5 full bars of LTE..... Another test with 5 full bars of LTE got me 6.52mbps. That's bad, with FULL bars of LTE and near a tower, and using an iPhone 5s getting 6mbps download on FULL bars of LTE??? What?? My AT&T iPhone 5 always got at least 20mbps MINIMUM with 5 bars of LTE, it never got 6.52 mbps download speed with a full 5 bars of LTE like my Verizon iPhone 5s is doing... I'm pretty disappoined. I just ported over from AT&T a couple days ago only to find the service is much worse. I hope this is only a bad phone, and not the actual Verizon network. Otherewise I will have to cancel my service and get a refund (I still am within my 14 days return policy for a refund).
And yes, I have tried taking the case off with no noticable improvements, maybe I'd get 7mbps with no case while I'd get 6mbps with a case on. So a little difference, but still only 1 bar of service in my home, and on my street. Not acceptable.
I have tried ALL of the following, nothing has worked:
#1: Reset all network settings (5 times+ tried)
#2: I've contacted Verizon TECH support and they have manually reset my network settings. Did nothing. Infact, I did TWO speed tests before calling and I was getting around 12mbps in the location I was at. Although I checked and I was within 0.5 miles of 3 different Verizon towers, so that explains the decent speed for the first time.
THEN after he reset my phone and I powered it off for 5 minutes, I did THREE speed tests: 1st result was 2mbps download, and twice the ping as BEFORE the reset. 2nd result was around 4mbps. And the 3rd result was around 3-5 mbps range. So after the manual resest it got WORSE in the same spot I was standing. Either way, even when I got "decent" speeds it's still pretty darn slow for LTE in a major city...
#3: Hard reset (5+ times tried)
#4: Turning LTE on and Off. This helps the bars, but again I don't want no slow 3G that gives me 0.5mbps download speed, that's useless.
#5: TOOK OFF THE CASE, and tried. The reception did not increase, but, when running speed tests, I would get about 1mbps faster with the case OFF rather than on. Still, this is not enough. Plus the reception remains at 1 bar in my house, even holding it near the window upstairs. I live in a full LTE area and checked the street coverage, it says I am in a full LTE area....... So not even taking the case off helped reception, it only helped a little bit for speed tests (but 1mbps different on a few tests may not be enough to be certain). So even with NO case, it's doing poorly...
I switched to Verizon because I thought they had better coverage than AT&T, I actually cancelled my AT&T iPhone 5 and ported it over JUST to get Verizon....I live in Colorado Springs. Now I'm finding out either A.) My phone from the store is defecetive or B). The Verizon network is pretty awful in my city, even though the map shows full LTE coverage,and full LTE coverage in all the surrounding cities too! So I am in a HEAVY LTE coverage area, and town.

My iphone 4 s has been losing service all day and freezing is anybody else having this prob its even to the point i cant hold a phone conversation without it cutting off.

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs. My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files. I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way. I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone. So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs. How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me. I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive. It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive. BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.
