IPhone 3Gs e-mail address problem ... They won't delete

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 3Gs.
One of my contacts has changed his e-mail address.
i have altered it in Address Book and changed it. The old e-mail address still shows up when I am trying to send him an e-mail (The new one also does0
I have deleted the entire contact from address book on my macbook and synced. I have re-entered it in address book and resynced.
The old e-mail address is still showing up.
The new one also does.
A clue ... the new one says WORK: before the new e-mail address ... the old one does not have a classification.
How can i get rid of the older e-mail address.
I seem to recall reading on this forum a while ago that stuff got stuck in cache or something.

Yes, there is email address cache/dictionary. Unfortunately, the only way to clear that out is to perform a Restore in iTunes, and set the phone up as new (not from backup, since the cache is part of the backup). That means you'd need to reload all your content, re-enter all your preferred settings, etc.

IPhone 3GS and Nike+ Remote problems

I've been using my Nike+ Sensor and Nike+ Remote watch with the iPhone 3GS and have noted problem. (I also have an 4th Gen Nano which works flawlessly with this kit)
The fast forward and reverse buttons work to "skip" to the next song or podcast, but have lost the functionality to hold them down a FF through the song or podcast.
Anyone else have these problems?

The spoken feedback problem must be a bug. It happens to me sometimes and it can be fixed by either turning the phone off and back on or resetting it.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, set it up as new device: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If still no luck, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

Has the software on your phone been modified at some point in the past?

Just got a new MacMini. Migrated files using Time Machine. However, now, on Launchpad, I see several Firmware updates that were relevant for the old machine, but not for the new one. How do I get rid of these updates? They won't delete!

HT5544 I have tried to delete Purcased Books from IBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. They have the cloud icon in the upper right hand corner of the book cover

I have tried to delete Purchased Books in iBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. The books show a cloud icon in the upper right corner. How can I delete them?

The cloud icon means that they are only in the cloud, they aren't currently stored on your iPad, so there isn't anything to delete. You can turn off the showing of the books that are in the cloud via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

HT5361 I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

Yes, it's a POP account. I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger. However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

If I delete a contact in my iPhone will this contact be notified they have been deleted if they also have an iPhone and iPad?

No worries, it will not broadcast your deletion at all.

Iphone 3GS - windows 7 - syncing problems with windows live mail

I brought a new iphone 3gs last week and tried to sync it with my new dell PC running windows 7 (with windows live mail).
It wouldnt sync, so I read the forums and reset the sync history through itunes.
This worked, and synced my iphone to the computer. It appears to have backed up all my contacts on the iphone to somewhere on the PC (cant find where) but it hasnt copied the contacts from windows live mail to the iphone
Have I confused anyone??

have you tried using imap instead?
if you can access your email from the web page then sounds more like a problem with windows live mail and not your BT account

Newly downloaded movies from iTunes won't upload to my iPhone 3Gs, Newly downloaded movies from iTunes won't upload to my iPhone 3Gs

I recently downloaded both "Planes" and "Cars 2" from iTunes (available via the digital downloads included with the blu-ray discs of each) and neither will upload onto my iPhone 3Gs. The phone has other movies on it (and has plenty of room for new ones), but for some reason it completely ignores these 2 movies and won't upload them.

If you had a backup from before your old phone died, try using the backup (though if they are different models that probably won't work). Also, under the "Music" tab for your phone, make sure your choices are set so that they aren't excluding those songs. DRM might also be causing a problem. Finally, make sure the songs will play in iTunes and that they haven't been lost or anything. If you see an exclamation point by the song, it means iTunes can't find it. You'll have to manually tell it where the song is.

After last upgrade, my iphone 3GS has a yellow screen and won't come on.

Hi
I really need help... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.2.1 and there was a flash of white screen, followed by a yellow screen with lines across it. iTunes shows a error message and the phone is now dead. It won't go on. It does go into the DFU mode but thats all about it. Please help as I urgently and desperately need my phone on ....
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it didn't work because the screen was completely frozen. I broke down and took the thing to the Apple Store and they discovered there was a loose wire in it that had to be reconnected. This is the second phone which has failed because of "workmanship. "The microphone went bad on the first phone and now this issue. Both phones may have had 2 hours on them and as a new comer to the iphone, I am not impressed. I paid cash for the phone and no insurance. I assumed it would have lasted several years like my other phone of which brand name I won't mention. The phone was great when it worked but when it doesn't it is very frustrating when the touch pad is frozen.
I understand, you can mark this answer as "This solved my question" so that more people can see it if they have the same problem.

Help Updated Iphone 3gs to 4.3.3 now won't open apps or play purchased songs

Hey i updated my boyfriends iphone 3gs on my P.C last night to 4.3.3.
But now it won't open any 3rd party apps even through they've been brought from the apple store
and everytime you select a song to play it shows one song but plays a completly differnt one.
Anyone else had this kinda problem and now how to fix it ??? would be much apreciated.
Also none of the info or apps on the phone are backed up on the P.C if i restore the phone will i be able to retrive all the purshed apps and songs using his itunes account ?
thanks

You will be able to redownload the apps, but not the music. If the music isn't backed up, it will be lost. That said, it sounds like you should try a reset first. Press and hold both the Home and Power buttons until the phone turns off (ignore the slider to turn off window). If that doesn't work, a restore is the next step.

IPhone 3GS battery spoilt, firmware problems.

Hey Forum,
I am using iphone 3gs and i recently found out that my iphone battery is faulty, i want to ask u guys if under these circumstances, is it faulty?
Problems:
-Fully charged in around 3 hours from 20% to 100%.
-Recently found out battery decreasing quite quickly(i think so, not 101% sure)
, btw, i restored my iphone software for around 3 times in a row due to some problems and around 7 times in total. I am a kinda paranoid person and sometimes when something happen to my possessions i juz can't sleep because I kept thinking of it, so I just want to hear from you guys if something is wrong from restoring firmware and that it can cause harm to my phone.
And would be really grateful if you guys can help me out, thank you so much, i really need to put my mine at peace.
Thank you.
Regards
ALa.

There are other threads out here with things to try...Look for those. If you try all these other suggestions and are still having drain issues, restore as a new phone, and don't add anything back yet. Just browse web, youtube, maps, txt, etc for a while, as well as standby...Let it go for as long as possible, and see how your battery holds up. If it's not ok at this point, then do a DFU mode restore. If that still doesn't fix it, then I'd say it's a trip to the Apple store for you...If this fixes the issue, then add back ONLY 1 thing at a time. Mail first usually, and watch for a while to see if it drains again. If not, proceed to next item(apps 1 at a time). After each added item, watch for a while to see if it drains ok. Should be able to narrow it down to the culprit. I know this takes quite a while to accomplish, so patience is needed, but as has been previously stated, it's usually bad or corrupted data in a backup that causes this...I had posted in another thread of same issues here. I was fine after the 4.2.1 update for quite a while(enjoying almost 3.1.3 battery life), then for reasons yet to be determined, mine started draining. I went into Settings where the Tethering item is located, and it was constantly clocking on that. Usually it clocks for a few seconds, then says Setup Tethering. Well mine was stuck there, so i think it was constantly using something. A hard reset cleared it, but I still have to try and figure out why it did that. I just don't have the time right now. I will most likely try as restore as new phone at some point. Apple did something though, because like I said, I'm enjoying almost 3.1.3 battery life now. I think it may have to do with cell radio, as I've seen something about NCFD being supported now in 4.2.

IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

I just synced my iPhone 3GS and lost songs..they don't show in my itunes account either and I downloaded them from ITunes to the Phone
