Iphone 3GS 3.1.2 syncing problem...Please help....!
Hi,
Can anyone out there please help me out...i just recently bought my iphone (n im lovin it to bitsssss)....few days ago ive been trying to sync my iphone with my ITUNES (lastest version) however i get an error saying:
ITUNES cannot read the content of the Iphone "Iphone". Go to summary tab in Iphones preferences and click Restore to restore to this iphone to default factory settings.
The problem is i have backed up my iphone 2-3 weeks last time and ive got so much changes apps, photos, settings and app data in it now that im not willing to lose my data. Can anyone help me figure out a way to resolve this either enabling a back up before restoring to default settings or not needing to restore it completely.
Any help very much appreciated. Thank you.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

HT201263 iphone 3gs stuck in activation mode. Please help
Help! My old iphone 3gs is stuck in activation mode. I contacted at&t to get the phone unlocked for sale. I was told by representative during a chat session that the phone would become unlocked once I did a backup and restore with itunes on my computer. I did this, then the phone was stuck in recovery mode. Through itunes I got the phone out of recovery mode, now it is stuck in activation mode. Any ideas? The phone has never been jailbroken or unlocked in the past. Please help.

If nothing works, try another computer, if still does not work, your iPhone may have a hardware failure. -

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)
It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

my iphone is on recovery mode and i can´t turn on it, when i try to recover it from itunes i get: unknown error (36), i´ve tried to do lot of things but i can´t solve my problem. please help!!
Hi, i had the same problem. Try to find the file "apple" or "itunes" don't know it anymore exactly. Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!

I have and iBook G4 10.4.11 and an iPhone 3GS. Currently they sync. What will happen when I move my .mac account to iCloud?
They will stop syncing with no workaround unless you sync by plugging the phone into your computer using a USB cable.

Hello fgjh,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If the iPhone is not in iTunes, take a look at:

hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out
To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

My iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this
my iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this
Hi teejayfs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
