Iphone 3gs doesnt pass the first part of syncing
I plug my iphone 3gs into the computer and it starts the sync with itunes but it never passes the first step. The loading button turns as if its doing something and I wait HOURS and it never finishes syncing.
If you have a Windows computer open a command line window with Administrator privileges and type the following command:
netsh winsock reset
Then reboot your computer. If that doesn't fix it your backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to Preferences in iTunes, Devices tab.

Previously, when I got a message notification on my iPhone home screen, I could see the first part of the text. Now it just says "iMessage". How can I change this?
Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Preview > On.
Also, check other settings on this screen.

how can i copy my diary from my old blackberry to new iphone 3GS - this is my first iphone so i am complete novice! I hope to avoid re-inputting every entry!
You probably already figured this out, but....
The iPhone will sync from various things on your computer (check the manual for details) but if your Blackberry won't export the data or sync to anything, then you'll need to get the info off the Blackberry manually.
Alternatively, it might be possible to set the Blackberry up to sync with Google Calendar, maybe, to export the data? I don't know anything about Blackberrys. Try a google search or ask on BB forums with help getting the data out.
But it will be easier to manually type into something on your desktop/web, then sync with the iPhone, rather than hand-entering on the phone itself. Then keep syncing with whatever you decided to use, so that you'll never need to do this again. -

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
When using Overdrive Media to down load a book from the library it starts ok but stops near the end of the first part. I get no indication on the ipod of the book downloading. Is this a operating error or posable failure of the I pod.?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

HT4623 3GS doesnt have the update software options so what do I do?
3GS doesnt have the update software option under general settings..I want to update my version of itunes to be able to download the Times Mobile App..cant seem to do it..
The feature you are looking for is available with iOS 5 or later. You will need to update your iPhone with iTunes on a Mac or PC.
Hope that helps -
I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update. Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone. I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on.
When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook. Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
"The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
Hope this helps -

I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with any sim, so is there any way to fix this please? Is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware? I purchase this iPhone from USA and Im using it in India. Please help me...
This means the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. The 3GS was not sold in the US as officially unlocked.
Restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked or installing a firmware update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new. In this case, re-locked with ATT. -
Has anyone else had the following problem with Spell Tower? I was in the middle of a game in Puzzle mode on my iPhone and had passed the 63,000 point mark. I paused the game (as I had many times before). When I tried to resume the game, the game had vanished without any record. My wife had a similar problem in Tower Mode. In addition, the Apple support page says that, to report an issue, one should click on a specified link at the bottom of the information page for the App in question. There is no such link on the SpellTower information page. Fibonacci44
There are two separate issues here.
1. There is a potential problem with the game Spelltower. That needs to be discussed directly with Spelltower. My attempted emails to Spelltower have been bounced.
2. Apple, on its own webpage, purports to establish a procedure for reporting an issue with an app. But that procedure does not work with Spelltower because someone at Apple neglected to include a link on the relevant information page. I have been trying to find that contact info without success. Apple should take ownership of supplying that contact info. -
The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

I purchased a album and only the first part of each song plays, even though the entire length is listed in the file properities. Any Ideas?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.
