Iphone 3gs application icons

i just bought the iphone 3gs and i have applications on it, but the icons are not the right icon for the app.... like a ring tone one is really a playmesh mafia icon and so on. how do i fix this?

I had the same problem when an icon for a different app appeared in place of the correct one. Mine was an easy fix- I simply deleted the app from the iPhone (push and hold icon until it shakes, then click the x) and then shut off the iPhone. Next, I connected the iPhone to my computer and re-sync'd with iTunes (make certain that you check-mark the now deleted app to ensure it re-loads on the iPhone). Presto! The app icon was fixed. I hope that helps you with yours.

  • Crashing Iphone 3gs Applications

    I was a proud owner of a 32GB Iphone 3GS until recently my iphone kept crashing on me. I could not open the downloaded applications. Even restoring it will only enable to run smoothly for a week(I have it restored several times since I bought it). Hence I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Assuming you mean bought/free Apps try this ...
    Download a free App (any one)
    Resync
    Switch off phone completely by holding down power and top witch until it powers off.
    Restart the phone.
    The Apps should work now.

  • Iphone 5s application icon (yahoo) automatically changes to a different application icon (macys).

    iphone 5s running
    ios 8.1 application icon (yahoo) automatically changes to a different application icon (macys). When you click the icon, it directs you to Yahoo.  I have had this issue before but the last time the icon was changed to wikipedia.  The last time this happened, i reset my phone.  I bought this phone new almost 2 years ago and have been the sole owner and I have never attempted to jailbreak my phone.  Does anyone know what the issue could be?  

    The problem is now resolved. The only thing that I did was to make netscape the default. I always the write code. I think that somehow I must have hit publish, I still am still not sure. Thanks for all the help

  • Cannot sync Iphone 3gs - application error

    Has anyone else had issues with the sync failing because Itunes said it couldn't determine the apps installed on the phone? I recently had updated my Itunes to the latest version and then the Iphone 3GS to IOS 5. Since then, I haven't been able to sync. I have never had this amount of issues between Itunes and IOS updates since I got the phone, so this is a tad bit disturbing. Windows 7 box if you are curious on my PC O/S.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I would try and reboot your phone and see if this helps. Hold down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds, or until the screen goes black and continue to hold down the power button until you see the apple logo come on.

  • Iphone 3GS displaying icons very largely.......

    I am facing a very strange problem, my iphone model 3GS is displaying icons on the screen very large in size, than the usal format.
    I tried to solve the problem by switching on/off, tried the settings options.
    But did not go for restoring the factory settings, because of the doubt i may lose all the contacts saved in the phone.
    Please advise any solution and clear the doubt of losing the saved contacts if i apply the factory resetting option.

    If you select erase all content and settings on your iPhone, this does exactly as provided - it will erase all content and settings - everything but the firmware/included software.
    If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, the same applies.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only - the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista.
    If you aren't currently using a supported application on your computer for contacts - the address book is empty, before syncing contacts with the application enter one contact in the application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs. Syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You can do this before restoring your iPhone with iTunes which will also give you access to your contacts on your computer.

  • Red dot on iphone 3GS voicemail icon. Please help!!

    Having this little red dot on my phone/voicemail icon for a couple of days indicating that i have a voice message and it's annoying.
    Anyone facing the same issue?
    Any solutions to clear off the red dot?
    I doesn't have voicemail service nor a voicemail box with my service provider.
    Thank you

    Icons are explained in the manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
    I believe orientation lock is the icon you are seeing. You can check in the manual.

  • HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

    I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

    The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
    edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date.  Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
    Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

  • I cant see the airplay icon on mi iphone 3gs

    i cant see the icon of airplay on my iphone 3gs i have a iphones 3gs wiht ios 5.1.1 i will like to use the airplay betewm mi iphone 3gs and my itunes on my pc , please help me with this NOTE I dont have a Mac i have PC with W7 but i read that is posible plesase help me , and itunes dont show me the icon , when i had a 3g he show me the icone but i cant see it 

    This is from the "Troubleshooting AirPlay" article:
    Resolution
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Check for the AirPlay icon ( ) in the recently used apps section on your iOS device, or in iTunes on your computer (as in these articles about how to use AirPlay and how to use AirPlay Mirroring). The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
    Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

  • Unable to transfer applications and music after changing from iphone 3GS to iphone 4

    I just switced from an uphone 3GS to and iphone 4. Before doing so i ran a backup on my iphone 3GS. after getting the iphone 4 i ran a restore.
    Most of the settings are in tact except i no longer have any applications or music.
    Please advise how i can restore these settings as well.
    Thank you.

    Did you use the same account settings for your new phone? Did you check if there are any restrictions set for app installation in Settings/General/Restrictions?
    Restoring from a backup does not include the music files or apps. You'll have to select them again and sync. Only app data and settings are part of the backup. See what else is saved here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

  • Unable to transfer purchased applications from Iphone 3gs to Computer

    As my computer crashed some time ago, I reinstalled the operating system and hence all my applications have disappeared from my itunes. I have already authorised my computer again but when my iphone 3gs is plugged in, I will receive a prompt saying that the purchases could not be transferred as my computer is not authorised. Deauthorising and reauthorising my computer does not work as I have tried that a few times already. This infinite loop is killing me.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I actually found a solution in another forum. I have two iTunes accounts. I authorized iTunes with my other account and it synced just fine. It's really kind of dumb that I have two accounts. One is simply a user name, the other account is the same user name as my e-mail address. ie: kevinsharp (1st acct.) & [email protected] Every other bit of info in the two accts are the same: cc number, address, secret question, etc.
    I really thought I had only one acct but I must have created another setting up my iPad.
    Hope this helps.

  • Flex 4.5.1 AIR application is not running on iPhone 3gs

    I developed an iOS application in Flash builder 4.5 with flex 4.5.1 extension using AIR 2.6. This application is successfully installed on iPhone4G. When I tried to install it on iPhone 3GS it say, this application is not compatible with this iPhone.
    My iPhone 3GS is running iOS 4.2.1
    Is the iOS version 4.2.1 is not supported for Flex iOS app development or there is any other issue. Please help, thanks in advance.

    Yes AIR 2.6 is compatible with iOS 4.2.1.I'd recommend you update to the latest version of FB and AIR. You should download the free upgrade to Flash Builder 4.6 and build from there. It's much improved and AIR 3.x has better performance all around.
    Regarding the incompatibility issue, you're absolutely sure you have an iPhone 3GS and not the 3G? They look nearly identical. One sure way to tell is to plug it into iTunes and see if you can upgrade the OS to the latest iOS 5.x. If you can't upgrade to iOS 5, then it's for sure a 3G and is not compatible with AIR 2.6+
