IPhone 3GS and iOS4 problems! PLEASE help!!

yesterday i updated to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS. everything was going well except my iphone would restart whenever it liked.
so i connected to iTunes & decided to restore it back to its factory settings to try and resolve the issue. now, the iphone screen says connect to itunes with the picture of the usb and itunes. and when i try to restore, "unknown error 29" comes up.
i don't know what to do anymore.

Ok this is wat happened to my iPhone 3GS after I opted to upgrade to iOS4.0:
After the upgrade file finished downloading, the installation process got initiated. However, after a few minutes, the process crashed throwing up an Error 1602. My phone just displayed the connect to itunes logo. I did a hard reset (by pushing the home button & the power on/off button simultaneously) and the phone entered the recovery mode (or DFU or watever it is called). I reopened itunes and connected the iphone again. This time, I was told that the phone has been detected on recovery mode. I clicked RESTORE & it told me that the phone would be restored to factory settings,which I chose. The recovery process started and after a coupla minutes, I got another error. This time it was Error 1601.
After spending a good 2 hrs researching the internet, I found the solution that did work for me. Here goes...U would need another computer for this (not the one u have been using to sync ur iphone with):
1) Install itunes 9.2 on another computer.
2) Connect ur iphone (while it displays the connect to itunes logo).
3) itunes will detect an iphone on recovery mode.
4) Click Restore. itunes will tell u that ur phone can be restored to factory settings. Choose OK.
5) itunes will automatically download iOS 4.0
6) once the download is complete, installation of iOS 4 should start immediately. if for some weird reason it doesnt initiate, press shift+restore and select the installation file (it is located in C:\Documenst & Settings\User\Application Data\Apple Computer\itunes\iphone software updates\xxxxx.ipsw )
7) Once u've selected this file, installation will start & ull get a progress bar on ur iphone as well.
8) The installation should come around fine & after a coupla automatic reboots, ur iPhone should now be up & running with iOS 4.0
9) Itunes will ask you to name ur iphone. at this point, eject the iphone from the computer & connect it to the other computer (the one which u previously used to sync the iphone with). open itunes & ull get 2 options: Create a new iphone or restore backup from "Sandy's iPhone" [ur iphone's name]. Choose the 2nd option & watch ur iphone being restored with all ur backup.\
10) once the sync is complete, eject & enjoy iOS 4
Phew
Cheers!!!

Iphone 4s and iPhoto problem - please help me!!

Hi there
I have searched the discussion boards for an answer to my problem, but cant find one yet.
I have a brand new imac with Mavericks installed and up to date. My iphoto is the latest one according to the app store and I have ios7.0.3 on my iphone 4s.
I have about 300 photos on the iphone and i connected to the imac with a usb cable and it appeared as though all the photos were imported in the usual way, so i agreed to delete them off the iphone when prompted to do so.
However, the events for the appropriate dates have been created, but they are grey and all claim to have 0 photos in them.
When I look at last import, it says that the last import was the import I did a few days ago and appears to ignore the one I have just done.
Please can anyon help me find where my photos are in a simple way. I am getting very cross and frustrated. I have used macs for 7 years with no problems until this.
I would also add that my iphoto is very slow and regularly stops responding so that I have to force quit.
Help appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Nick

Thanks to LarryHN and Old Toad, my problems are nearly over, I hope.
I did the repair and, thankfully, my missing photos are back.
However, I now have about 100 photos which are on my iPhone 4s camera roll and when I plug the phone in, it says that it has already imported them, but I can't find them in iPhoto!
I can see the pictures on the mac when the phone is plugged in and I look on the iphone, but I cant see where they are.
Do you think that having photostream has complicated matters at all?
Also, why does the photo stream on my phone (and ipad) show more photos than the photostream folder fir Nov 2013 in iphoto? Is there a delay in appearing in iphoto?
Finally, about 3 out of 5 times, iphoto becomes really slow and stops responding, requiring a force quit. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it?
THis is a great forum, thanks to everyone for help so far.

My iphone 3gs is not active, please help me...
<Edited by Host>

The problem is your phone was illegally unlocked and jailbroken. When you upgraded it took the unlock off and now it is locked to the original carrier it was locked to. You will not be able to unlock it now.

@theViberTeam .
I'm having trouble with Viber.
A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??

[Other 865 Series] 865PE Neo3-F (SATA and PATA problems),please help,thx

Hi
I have MSI 865PE Neo3-F mainboard and I have a few little problems with Neo.
My first:
I have HDD Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,SATA.When I was installing Windows,(widows setup) it shows that HDD has only 131GB.BIOS shows 251GB.what does it mean?Not supported HDD or only 130GB for one partition?
My second:
I want to connect also P-ATA HDD,but BIOS don´t see him.
What would be IDE settings in BIOS and also jumper settings on PATA HDD and DVD when I want use:
SATA as Primary Master (system disk)
PATA as Secondary Master
DVD-ATA IDE as Secondary Slave
My last:
What I should installing when I want to use all advantages of SATA HDD and what would be BIOS settings?
PLEASE HELP IT IS URGENTLY,CAUSE I HAVE TO WORK TO MY SCHOOL
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Thank you

At the first thank you for your reply.
Yes it works.
Sorry I didn´t post my OS.My OS is XP (with SP2,now).
Configuration:
P4 Prescott 540J 3.2GHz,FSB800MHz,HT (enabled)
MSI 865PE Neo3-F
2x APACER 512MB DDR400 (Dual channel,slot 1 and 3)
ASUS FX5700 256MB
Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,7200rpm
DVD-RW Plextor 716AK
After installing Service Pack 2 windows shows that HDD has 300GB,but I created two partitions before (C:\ [30GB] and D:\ [100GB] in windows setup) and now (after install SP2 E:\ [170GB]) one partition in Windows.Problem how do I put together last two partitions (D:\ and E:\) to one partition?
so if I right understand after this settings in BIOS:
Native Mode
ATA Configuration - PATA only (or SATA-only)
SATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA channel selection - both
and what about another two options in this menu?what are the settings?(somtehing about 1st channel and so on)
connections looks like that:
on IDE ATA100 cable from IDE1 will be connect HDD ATA100 as Master and DVD as slave?
on SATA cable from SATA1 will be connect HDD SATA?
How system knows which one from two Masters HDD is System disk?from Boot menu?
Is some page on the web where can I find closer explain of IDE (SATA) settings for MB MSI?
Sorry for questions,but I am working at the first time with SATA disk

The update and other problems PLEASE HELP!!!

The ovi store on my phone asked me to download the newer version which I did, is there an update for ovistore on the computer because I haven't heard about it if there is one and it may solve the problems I have been having with it:
1. I don't receive the messages when trying to get an app
2. It wont let me down load apps when I connect my phone to the computer
(also on the nokia website it told me to click the download and install button to get an app when plugged into the computer but I can't find it..Any ideas where it is???)
please help i've had this problem since I first set up my account and its really bugging me now!!!!!!

(Apologies for barging in Steve.)
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80071A91, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

Movies and Audio Problem - PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi,
If I am working on the music for a movie file i sometimes open a new project with no global tracks, so as i can focus on the music, when i then choose to open the movie and see what the music sounds like with the movie all is fine..... until i stop the movie. If the movie is not playing or doesnt have the volume slider raised high (on the movie window), no sound is heard when i press a key on my midi keyboard. This means i can only come up with ideas when the movie is playing. If i close the movie and/or the global tracks, the problem remains the same. I have to close logic an reopen it in order for me to hear any sounds (audio tracks and midi). Any advice or help would be great as this is really frustrating me. Thanks, Ben

I use Logic Plug ins and Korg/Steinberg plug ins. I have a multi instrument set up in my environment for an external Korg Trinity Keyboard. It is no longer connected as it was too difficult to control program changes etc and recording in audio takes too long for me. This many be the problem??? Maybe i could remove the multi and see if this helps. I am thinking of re-connecting the Korg to my computer but am not sure if it will cause more problems. Any advice? Thanks... Ben

insert into temp_table values ('ABC.ABCTABLE');
insert into temp_table values ('ZYD.CLIENTTABLE');
insert into temp_table values ('NMS.CLIENTLOGTABLE');

      SELECT table_name
      FROM temp_table;
   table_name   VARCHAR2 (40);

   LOOP
      my_table     := NULL;
      my_table     := cur.table_name;
      table_name   := SUBSTR (my_table, INSTR (my_table, '.') + 1);
      IF (table_name LIKE ('%OBJ%'))
      THEN
         DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('table_name containing OBJ=' || table_name);
         -- NOTE : CALL YOUR PROCEDURE1 HERE for tables containing OBJ;
        procedure1(table_name);
      ELSE
         DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('table_name not containing OBJ=' || table_name);
           -- NOTE : CALL YOUR PROCEDURE2 HERE for tables not containing OBJ;
        procedure2(table_name);
      END IF;
   END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SUBSTR (SQLERRM, 1, 300));
      RAISE;

Itunes connection and Passcode problem (Please Help!!)

So, my computer recently was broken beyond repair.. so when I got a new computer and redownloaded itunes i tried to connect my itouch to charge it and i noticed it said "Itunes cannot open ipod in library please imput password on ipod" I never put a password on it... aparently one of my friends did. So I was being a total DA and attempted to guess the password too many times now the ipod's disabled untill i can connect to itunes and itunes wont let me connect untill I get the password, I'm at a total loss please help!

You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
