IPhone 3GS intergration into Nissan Bose Stereo

I have a 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe with a Bose sound system and iPod intergration. Until recently everything worked well with my iPhone 3G S, however now on occasion, the iPod function stops dead in the middle of a book or sound. When I turn the power on an off, the car iPod system is still locked. The other functions of the sound system like regular and sattellite radio work fine. When I disconnent the iPhone there is a "Check Device" message on the car system screen. The only way to unfreeze the system is to turn of the ignition and restart the car. It seemed to start doing this after I installed the iPhone iOS4 upgrade last month. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a Kenwood BT945U stereo in my SUV, and since the iOS 4.1 update, I can now skip tracks forward and backward with the buttons on the head unit. This didn't work before the update.
I don't ever recall being able to select what track/album/genre/etc to play when streaming audio via BT. I can't do it in my Ford Fusion, either. I haven't tried to stream audio over BT with any other device, so I couldn't say if it's a limitation of the phone, the stereos, or BT audio streaming.

My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2

My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2
I need help fast. I'm on call and this is my only phone.

It finally restored. I saw that a couple folks said they kept trying and finally got restored. So I decided to keep trying and retrying while I researched the techno routes folks described--DFU, tinyumbrella, and scary programming processes. I decided I'd rather put my sim chip in one of our old iphones and take mine to a shop than suffer through a bunch of complication. I switched to Apple b/c I got tired of playing programmer. I digress. After a few minutes itunes would drop my phone from dashboard yet continued showing the checking with Apple...status. So I repeatedly force-quit itunes, restarted phone, unplugged and plugged back into computer. Each time I'd do whatever itunes prompted then walk away. After about an hour of this, for no apparent reason, it went directly into recovery. Didn't lose any photos but did have to reinstall most of my apps. It has to be an Apple network issue related to this particular upgrade.

Import From iPhone 3GS Directly Into iMovie '09?

I don't think this is possible. Can you import from your iPhone 3GS directly into iMovie '09?
With my iPhone 3GS docked, if I go to File > Import from Camera… the only device I get is my iMac's iSight camera. Why doesn't the iPhone 3GS show up?
Yes, I know you can import videos into the Finder using Image Capture. And you can import them into iPhoto and THEN into iMovie. But how come you can't go directly from your iPhone 3GS into iMovie '09?

You right about the iPhone 3Gs work-flow:
_ Connect your iPhone 3Gs to your Mac
_ Launch iPhoto
_ Import the iPhone 3Gs videos using iPhoto
_ Launch iMovie
_ iMovie automatically detects the videos from iPhoto & requests if you want to Generate Thumbnails
_ Then go to the iMovie > Event Library > iPhoto Videos

Will iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases? Any difference in size/Controls?

Will the iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases? Any difference in size/Controls?

I purchased an incase slider before my 32 GB 3GS arrived. When I put the phone in it today, it was so incredibly tight that I almost couldn't get the phone back out of it. I called the incase company and they said that despite Apple's claims that the phones are identical it is possible that the 32 GB phone is slightly thicker and is causing problems with certain slider cases. Incase is nice enough to send me a replacement (even though I bought from apple store online) when they have verified that their cases fit the new phones. My previous iPhone was a 2G so I could not tell if the new case would have fit the 3G. I guess, try before you buy.

Iphone 3gs goes into recovery by itself

i recently updated software on iphone 3gs, since doig so it has been going into recovery mode by itself, tried to restore it through itunes, restore would not complete due to an error, now i cant use the phone at all, i have followed the troubleshooting to no avail, can anybody give me some advice please

Google the software RecBoot and iRecovery - one of those may be able to help you kick the phone out of recovery mode. Be warned though that there are no guarantees - your phone, your responsibility! But if it's not working now, it may be worth a try.

Fully copy iPhone 3GS contents into a new iPhone 4G

Hallo everyone,
I have an iPhone 3GS and was thinking of buying a 4G some time soon. Obviously I got quite a bit of things on my current phone (apps, photos, contacts etc), and I would therefore like to ask you whether there is a way to fully backup all the contents (if possible even the settings - but I don't want to be too demanding) of my current iPhone to the new one. Exempli gratia, could I directly syncronise the new phone with iTunes using the backup file of the old one?
I'm new on this forum and not too much experienced on iPhones (I got my current one only 1 month and a half ago), hope somebody has an answer to my question
Thank you all in advance,
Cheers, Emilio
P.S. I was also wondering, if I copy the photos I've taken with my current phone to the new one, will I still be able to see the "places" thing even with the old pictures?

My iPhone 3Gs is stuck in Recovery Mode. My phone has never been jailbroken. What can I do to get it out of the Recovery Mode loop?

My iPhone 3Gs went into Recovery Mode yesterday when I got home. When I plug it into my computer iTunes opens and gives me this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I click the "Restore iPhone" button and wait while iTunes reinstalls the software on the iPhone. As soon as the install is done, I get the same message again "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I'm stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. How do I get out?
This iPhone has never been jailbroken. After a litte research on line I saw some people got stuck in Recovery Mode after a jailbreak, but this is not the case here. Please help.

IPhoto 11 not saving imported iPhone 3GS pics after exit

My wife and I both import photos form our iPhone 3GS's into iPhoto 11 (9.1 (475)). Since we want to save them in the same photo library, I moved the iPhoto Library some time ago to my Public folder, so we can both post to it. This has worked fine until installing iPhoto '11. When she imports from her phone, iPhoto says it has imported, and you can see the new pics. When she exits iPhoto, it gives a quick progress bar saying the iPhoto Library is being updated. Then, reopen iPhoto -- the new imported pics are gone. Have repaired permissions, hasn't made a difference. Any ideas please?
Thanks,
Patrick

Okay, I've done some more playing around and have had some success with retrieving lost photos.
I did a reveal in finder on a picture that imported from photo booth. It appears that iPhoto '11 has changed the way pictures are stored in the iPhoto library. Instead of being in a folder named the date of the import, there was an "11" folder inside of the "2010" folder that I'm assuming represents November. Inside of that were folders with various numbers that I believe are the days of the month the import was done. Inside of these, I found various folders. Some of these contained the original photos from our camera and retained the name that our camera gives them (begins with "IMG_"). Other photos in these folders had long numerical names and seemed to be photos that either my wife or I had previously published to facebook through iPhoto.
I created a new folder in my home directory in Finder and copied all the original "IMG_" files from the folders that I found. I then did an Import in iPhoto of these copied files, named the events and closed iPhoto. For whatever reason, this time, when I reopened iPhoto, they were still there.
So, this brings up several questions about what's going on. Is iPhoto only loosing pictures imported from the SD card? Is it only loosing pictures that are imported and then immediately uploaded to facebook? Is it loosing pictures that are imported and not given an event name? If we copy the files from the SD card to the Mac's hard drive first and then import, will we not see this problem?
All valid questions that will take some experimenting to do, but maybe what I've found so far will help others recover the photos that aren't showing up for them.

SIM CARD switch between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

Can I swap my iPhone 3GS card into an iPhone 4? Will I be penalized by Apple?

Apple has nothing to do with whether you use your original iPhone, 3G, 3GS, or iPhone 4.
Your carrier is the only one that would have any concern.
Keep in mind that the iPhone 4 uses a microSIM card so you will need an adaptor to take that microSIM and use it in the 3GS or any other GSM phone.

My phone wont play music through aux cable in my car, is there a setting i need to change on my iphone for it to play through stereo?

I recently got a new car and it has an AUX port, i connected my Iphone 3gs and chnaged setting on stereo to aux. however nothing plays when i go to music on phone. I connected my Friends iphone and ipod and they play no problem. Can anyone let me knowif there is a setting i need to change on my iphone?

Maybe you have activated the random playlist. In your PC, check if the shuffle button of iTunes is activated; if it's activated, deactivate it. In this photo, it's the blue button:
In your iPhone, go to Music, play any song and deactivate the same option

IPhone 3GS through Nissan Cube SL ipod jack

I am having an issue with my new Nissan Cube SL's ipod jack and my iPhone 3GS.
The Cube is listed as having an iPod dock/jack, but it doesn't seem to recognize that the iPhone is connected. I can get it to charge the iphone with the use of the passPORT adapter, but with or without the adapter it doesn't recognize the iphone as being connected.
I've tried an 3rd gen ipod and it works perfectly.
I've considered trying one of Cable Jive's Universal docks which is a female ipod connector with a female USB connector on the other end, and using the standard usb/ipod charging connector as the bridge between the Cable Jive adapter and the iphone, but I am guessing that I can't bridge a line out through USB like that.
I've been pestering my dealer into a solution, but I thought I would tap into the collective to see if anyone else might have a solution.

It sounds like the jack installed by factory on the cube may not be fully compatible with 3GS...if you can try the jack with a 2G or 3G and see if it works...
Many 3rd party accessories have reported compatibility issues until the 3rd party company updates the PIN and voltage settings of their accessory to truly make it 3GS compatible... some are compatible with 2G and 3G but not exactly or fully with 3GS and that is a hit and miss thing...try the adapter solution and you may get your resolve...

Is there ANY car stereo that REALLY works with an iPhone 3GS?

Right now I use an older iRiver MP3 player with an older Pioneer headunit in my car. I have to control the player directly, which really ***** when you want to find a certain song while driving. Very unsafe.
I want to integrate a digital media player with a car stereo (to be controlled with a wireless remote or steering wheel remote). I also plan on getting an iPhone 3GS hopefully in the next few months. I don't want to mess around with multiple devices, so I would prefer to put my music on the iPhone and use it as an iPod.
I've been looking at several car stereos from Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, etc. that come with iPod control built-in and a USB cable for connecting the iPod or iPhone to the stereo. Most of these advertise iPhone compatibility, but many reviews I've read says the iPhone compatibility, especially the 3GS w/ newer software/firmware is spotty at best.
I really don't want to deal with issues like this, so I'm wondering if there's any particular models that really work WELL with an iPhone 3GS, preferably in the $350-under range.

I went to the Apple Store and they told me that there wasn't a cord that would allow me to play my music from my iPhone to my car stereo.
So...
I bought an iPod because I wanted my music in my car.
I also bought this Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger for my iPod as well. I found a radio station and it worked perfectly.
I thought to myself, why not try to hook my iPhone up to that cable and see if it worked.
Well it did and so I took my iPod back and now am able to use my iPhone in my car using the Kensington cord!!
Here is the link to that cord:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=F92 F7BFD&nplm=TD145LL/A
It just goes into your cigarette lighter and then you set a radio station on the cord and then tune onto the radio station on your car.
Hope that helps,
Sam
P.S.- Your iPhone is going to tell you that the product is not compatible with the iPhone and would like to know if you want to put it into airplane mode.
Well just select "NO" and then your phone will work like normal and play your music through your speakers and it will still be able to receive calls while listening to your music, the music will just fade out while you are driving and allow you to answer your call and then once you are done, continue playing your song right where it left off.

I have an old imac that won't upgrade to itunes ios5. Now i can't log my iphone 4s into it or access/ transfer anything from my previous iphone 3gs. Please advise

I have been told that my iMac jjust can not be upgraded to the software that supports ios5. Normally this is not a problem since its working just as well as the day I got it. However since it holds my itunes, now i have a problem of 1) can not access it with my ipad or my iphone 4s 2) i can not retrieve any of the pictures, songs etc that i had on my previous iphone 3gs and consequently 3) i can not use icloud. I have considered transferring my itunes to a pc but i hate the pc experience and if i would plug in my 3gs into that itunes it would format the phone and erase all content on it. So far i have been told that the only option is to buy a new mac. This is very frustrating because i don't really need one and i should not be excluded from apple services for my new products simply because macs become somehow "un-upgradeable" after a while. Not to mention, that i do not have the funds atm. I really hope the is another way out there for people like me and that i don't have to worry about my mac simply being inoperable (causing all my other apple devices to be crippled as well) after a few years.
Thank you,
Tina

Glenn,
I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

Hello candymerna,
At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.
