IPhone 3gs,IOS4.3.5 and contacts added not from contacts (maybe from gmail)
I hope someone can help with this. I had a contact added to my iPhone 3GS (4.3.5) that I did not add. This contact was from a person that I deleted from any of my contacts from over a year ago. This is causing extreme grief to me and my significant other. I don't know where it came from and I am guessing that the recent IOS upgrade and Gmail decided to add this contact from old emails. Can anyone help out with an explanation of where this came from? Thanks in advanced.
Depending on where you are located at, some governments have required Apple to disable the Facetime ability in their countries.

I got my Iphone 3gs unlocked, but Navigation and Compass are not working. Please help if anybody had faced this problem and got it resolved.
Only the carrier that the iPhone was locked to can unlock. There you go, hacking void any support from this forum.

Iphone 3gs in safe mode and computer does not recognize it and shows as "new hardware"
My iphone 3gs is in recovery mode. And when i plug it in to my computer it shows up as " found new hardware". Now i reinstalled itunes many times. trying different versions of itunes as well. I have tried many things and my computer just wont recognize it. using a diffrent computer is not an option. What can i do to my computer to try and get this thing to connect??
When you say you have reinstalled iTunes many times, have you followed the directions Apple gives for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all it's ancillary applications and processes?
Apple's documentation on the process can be found here:

IPhone 3gs in endless loop and battery is not charging
Hi, I have tried to use as many methods from this forum as well as other forums but so far no success. I am hoping someone will be able to give me some idea. Much much appreciated.
I have a iphone 3gs 16GB. I can't get it to start up to begin with without charging it. The battery bar is red color. When I plug it in to either the charger or directly to my MAC, it will start charging. After a few minutes, the red battery bar will go away and the apple logo will appear. After that, the loading circle will appear and then it goes into an endless loop. I have tried to do a hard restore (power + home buttom), iRecovery or even redsn0w but none work as it cannot detect the device. iTunes also doesn't detect the device. I have cleaned all the connecters as well as tried it on my ipod, it works. Once the apple logo and the loading circle starts, I can't even shut down the iphone. The phone will stop charging after a few minutes and the cycle of charging will start again if I am plug in to the charger.
What should I try? Please help me . Thanks a million!When you say you have reinstalled iTunes many times, have you followed the directions Apple gives for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all it's ancillary applications and processes?

am update my iphone 3gs ios4.1 to ios 6.0.1 using itunes when update comleted itunes show a message Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care! pls help me pls
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
About=>Carrier? -
My iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon
my iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon and will do this for a long time and won't stop till I do a forced shut down. It's all sporatic as to when it does this. Plus it's adding pictures to contacts that don't normally have pictures and taking them away from ones who do have them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have iOS 5.1.1 on it still b/c my iTunes won't download the newest verision of the iOS (yes I have the most recent iTunes on my laptop, yes I've tried multiple different times to download too) but I've heard others say not to put the newest iOS on the 3gs b/c it locks them up.
Try doing a reset on your iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back. -

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.

I have iPhone 3GS, no sim-free, and it locked (tried to update to virsion 6.0). How can I unlock it?
What do you mean how can you unlock it? If it was truly "sim-free" it would not have locked when you updated.
ONLY the carreir the phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them if you haven't managed to brick it entirely now. -
i have been using an iPhone 4 till date and now migrated to a iPhone 4s.The contacts are not copied in total from the other phone what should i do
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing. -
Iphone 3gs is there any way that i can save contact on itunes
iphone 3gs is there any way that i can save contact on itunes
Contacts are not saved in itunes.
Contacts can be saved a number of ways though. With a 3GS you can update to iOS5 and use iCloud to sync contacts to computers or other iOS devices or just to the iCloud server. You can back up your phone to iCloud which does save your contacts.
You can use iTunes to sync your contacts with address book on a mac, or windows contacts on a PC, or with outlook contacts. You can make a backup in iTunes which will include your contacts. They will not be accessible but you can restore to a device if something happens to your device and recover them.
You can also sync your contacts through a mail client such as yahoo, google, hotmail, or any exchange service.
Lastly, there's many apps that can store contacts. -
I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality -
Since I'd installed the new version of iTunes, iCal and Address book do not sync with my iPhone 3GS through iTunes anymore and I get an error message stating that iTunes can not sync with this iPhone.

I plug my iphone 3gs into my laptop and it no longer syncs with my iTunes. I've tried all the trouble shooting methods and nothing works. My iPhone doesn't 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!
