IPhone 3GS - changed ATT plans and it doesn't work as well anymore, etc

Ok. I've had the IPhone 3GS for about a year. a month or so ago I changed plans to the $15 for 200MB plan. Whether this is a coincidence or not, since then, a) when I scan for email it just spins and spins and then says the password is not correct for my email address.....Ive inputted it multiple times, it recognizes it then, but still has a problem. After refusing connection about 10 times, it finally gets tired of fighting me and downloads the email. It also will say can't "connect to the server" and then after multiple attempts it will. I got this plan because ATT said I was averaging about 35MBs a month. I change the plan, and last month I had 132MBs and in 6 days this month I had 73MBs. .....when I'm using it much less because it's too much of a hassle to sit around for 10 minutes for it to comply. I called ATT a couple of weeks ago, they had me do a couple of things, but it didn't work. So is this an ATT problem or is it an Apple problem????? thanks.

Somewhere back then I figured it out, but don't recall how I did it now

Hello Kunmon,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

IPhone 5 screen wearing off and battery doesn't work properly.

I've started having this issue almost from the start. It's wearing off from the bottom right side of the phone and even my battery drains faster + the bar shows wrong percentage. My phones warranty is also void now + I couldn't take it to the Apple Store for replacement cause there's no Apple store in my country. anyway my bro is going to Norway after 2weeks so he'll take my phone to the Apple Store to see if they'll fix it for free or replace the device. Do you guys think if they will resolve the issue?
If not i don't think ill buy anything from apple again, my friends also had this problem But if they do resolve it i will be really greatful of them.

First, the phone can only be serviced in the country where it has been bought. And, given the age and use of the phone, it might be time to get the battery replaced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider. If your device is out of warranty, Apple will not replace it for free, you'll have to pay the Out-Of-Warranty-Service fee:
My iPhone is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
Apple offers service options for an iPhone that is not eligible for warranty service.
Battery Replacement ServiceIf your iPhone requires service due to the battery's diminished ability to hold an electrical charge and it is not covered under Apple's warranty or statutory consumer rights, please contact your carrier or refer to the Battery Replacement Service information.
Out-of-Warranty ServiceIf you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service Fee listed below.

We can't know. We know nothing about your system, your browser, your Internet configuration and so on. Something on your end is blocking stuff and causing this.

What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly.... come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB. It's intermittent. Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off). Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8. I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

Small change to script and it doesn't work?

This is my working script, and it counts the files of the desktop ready to use elsewhere in a larger script,
It references the desktop.
(do shell script "ls -F ~/Desktop | grep '/' | cut -d'/' -f1"
Now I need it to reference the folders within a different location so I changed it.
(do shell script "ls -F ~/Pictures/CompletedFolders | grep '/' | cut -d'/' -f1"
And I then get the error>
tell application "Finder"
count every file of folder "BHS_WK3_PSD"
--> error number -1728 from folder "BHS_WK3_PSD"
Result:
error "Finder got an error: Can’t get folder \"BH_WK3_PSD\"." number -1728 from folder "BH_WK3_PSD"
How is so different?
set dtF to paragraphs of (do shell script "ls -F ~/Desktop | grep '/' | cut -d'/' -f1")
set tc to (count dtF)
set dialogString to ""
set folderCount to {}
repeat with i from 1 to tc
          set folderName to item i of dtF --<: is the folder name, no need to use text item delimiters -->":"
          tell application "Finder"
                    set end of folderCount to {fName:folderName, fCount:count of (files in folder folderName)}
          end tell
end repeat
set totalFiles to 0
repeat with theFolder in folderCount
          set totalFiles to totalFiles + (fCount of theFolder)
          set dialogString to dialogString & return & theFolder's fName & tab & tab & tab & tab & theFolder's fCount
end repeat

Hello
You get the said error because the folder "BHS_WK3_PSD" is not in ~/Desktop but in ~/Pictures/CompletedFolders.
E.g., the following script returs Finder object representing ~/Desktop/a because Finder assumes folder "a" is in desktop if its container is not specified.
tell application "Finder"
    folder "a" --> folder "a" of desktop
end tell
If you want to get folder "a" in ~/Pictures/CompletedFolders, you'd need to write something like this -
set dir to (path to pictures folder from user domain as Unicode text) & "CompletedFolders" as alias
tell application "Finder"
    folder "a" of dir
end tell
Thus, as a whole:
set dir to (path to pictures folder from user domain as Unicode text) & "CompletedFolders" as alias
set dtF to paragraphs of (do shell script "ls -F " & dir's POSIX path's quoted form & " | grep '/' | cut -d'/' -f1")
set tc to (count dtF)
set dialogString to ""
set folderCount to {}
repeat with i from 1 to tc
    set folderName to item i of dtF
    tell application "Finder"
        set end of folderCount to {fName:folderName, fCount:count of (files in folder folderName of dir)}
    end tell
end repeat
set totalFiles to 0
repeat with theFolder in folderCount
    set totalFiles to totalFiles + (fCount of theFolder)
    set dialogString to dialogString & return & theFolder's fName & tab & tab & tab & tab & theFolder's fCount
end repeat
return folderCount -- # for test
Hope this helps,

Firefox 4: have 4 users and its not working for one. The actual Firefox search bit doesn't load properly: very bare and search doesn't work . However, bookmarks etc seem OK

Have just upgraded to Firefox 4 today, and seems OK for 3 out of 4 users, but not for one of us. It's just that bit in the middle with the red fox logo and the search box that don't load properly - looks very bare - and can type into box but nothing happens when press 'search'

Don't know - the bit in the middle of the web page which sounds like the search container!
However, have found a work around - opening up Google and saving that as the home page.
Thanks for your reply.

Uploaded Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost internet connection (WiFi works)

I uploaded my Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost 3G internet connection (WiFi works). Anybody has that same problem??
I lost all my music too. What I don't get is that when my iphone is connected to Itunes, the music appears there (i even can play it), but the device doesn´t have it. I try to sync it but it doesn't work. What can I do?
Help please!!!

I went into Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network.and changed my APN in the 'Cellular Data' section from idata.o2.co.uk to wap.o2.co.uk.
wap.02.co.uk will not work for you, that is my provider's setting. I would contact Telcel and see what your APN settings should be, but I get the impression having read through many conversations now that the upgrade to iOS5 sometimes changes these settings.
I left the 'Visual Voicemail' and the 'MMS' settings the same and everything seems to be working ok...
Oh - and I did lose my music after. I've managed to restore my purchased by going to the iTunes store on my phone and dowloading them all again.
Good luck, hope that sorts it.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier. You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan. Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

I plug my iPhone 3gs into my laptop and it no longer syncs with my iTunes. Ive tried all the trouble shooting methods and nothing works. My iPhone doesnt appear on iTunes or under "my computer." Does anyone know how to fix this?

If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

Is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.
