Iphone 3GS has "169..." IP address after replacing old Airport Express
My 3GS is no longer connecting to my home network after replacing my old airport express.
Previously my old G5 iMac would have problems connecting to the old airport express, BUT my iPhone 3GS would reliably connect.
After installing this new airport express, my iMac is on the network, but NOW my iPhone 3GS is experiencing the same problem my iMac previously had: IP address changed to 169.254.205.191
Airport Express is set to WPA2 Personal
Updated firmware on the Airport express
Network settings on iphone have been reset several times.
Airport express has been rebooted several times.
Please help. Thank you.
Thnx William but that is not the case coz all other devices(laptops, desktops, PS3...etc) r working just fine.
after alot of time trying to figure out what the problem is I figured out the problem but cant seem to sove it:
I have three router in my network one acts as a DHCP server (router 1) and the others act as AP, they all brodcast wirless (SSID) based on the internet connection coming from router 1, all devices including my old iphone 3g connect on all three router no problem and get assigned an ip address within range 192.168.1.~, however when i connect my 3gs to router 1 (DHCP) it works perfectly and connects to the internet but when I connect to any of the other routers I cannot have internet access and it takes a long time to show the wi-fi symbol (3 bars), I managed to overcome this by giving my second router another network IP i.e 192.168.2.~ and made it aother DHCP server (but another network) that way my 3gs connected just fine like the 1st router, the problem with this solution is that I am on two seperate networks but same internet feed so I cannot communicate between lapto, desktop, PS3...etc
I guess I have two options:
1- wait for an update for 3gs hoping this could be solved and keep my network as is.
2- assign three different networks just for 3gs to work and sacrifice my whole home sharing.
SOOOO Pleaseeeeee if anything know anything or could help me in anyway please and post, is it just me or have i heared alot of Wi-Fi problems with 3gs!!!

My parents are about to recieve an upgrade to their contract which currently is an iPhone. They asked me to sync their iPhone to iTunes to save the settings, should they get an iPhone again.
When I tried to sync the phone, iTunes prompted a software update (this doesn't suprise me as they wouldn't see the need to connect it to the computer ever!)
Naturally, I accepted this update, only for an error to occr. (I didn't see this, my Dad said it happened but didn't note the error code down.)
Then, when I went to use the phone, it said on the screen, "connect to iTunes". On doing this, neither iTunes or the phone had no response. I set the iPhone into recovery mode to restore it from iTunes, and the phone flashed white for half a second and then cut out. I've had no response from it since, tried charging and leaving it plugged into the computer.
Any ideas?
ThanksOddly, I've now fiddled with it a bit more, and I can manage to get the Apple logo up for a short time, but if I let go of the hold button it cuts out again.
If I continue to hold it, the logo turns into connect to iTunes. I do this, no response from iTunes. -

My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do to get all her stuff onto the new phone?
Here's what I'd do, go back to the Apple store, take the phone & computer. Ask the geniuses how to fix this since they replaced the phone. You never know, they may just update the computer for free...its happened before...can't gurantee it will happen for you, but worth a try.
Otherwise, you're looking at purchasing a retail copy of Leopard, however if her computer can handle Snow Leopard you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & install a full copy of SL. -

Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
1. Connect your iPhone
2. Open iTunes
3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode -
The iphone 3GS is unable to activate after updating to iOS 6 i'm connecting it to iTunes but it says there is no SIM card which there is plz help
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

My iPhone 5 has broken and is being replaced with a new iPhone tomorrow. However, My carrier (orange) will b picking up my broken iPhone and I am unsure how to secure the content and icloud data on the broken phone. Is there a way to disable the data held on it and ensure that if it is fixed, nobody can use/see my data and access my account?
Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?
Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

okay, so lately my iPhone 3GS has been telling me i have no service what so ever for the past two days. But today when i was on the bus going home from school, i had perfect service and everything until i got close to my house (to clarify, i live somewhat far out from the center of town, and my school is right in the middle of town.. didnt know if that would affect anything). So then i asked my Dad about it and he reccomended restoring and updating my phone to see if it helped because im a couple updates behind. So i plugged it in, backed it up, and began to restore and update it. All was well until it got to the "verifying the restore with apple" stage. I was watching the rose bowl and not paying attention while it was on, but remembered that it started that stage at the beginning of the game. Now the game just ended 5 or 10 minutes ago and lasted a goood hour, hour an a half, and its still verifying!! i dont know what to do... HELP!
