If you have an iPhone 3G, then you cannot have upgraded it to iOS 6 unless you hacked the iPhone. Did you do so, or do you really have an iPhone 3GS?

Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
(The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

I cannot get my IPhone 3gs to restore to my last backup?

I had an issue with IPhone 3gs earlier so I synced and backed-up the phone and then attempted to restore the phone to see if I could eliminate the problem. After the restore and software update, it brought me to the "Set up your IPhone" page and I selected "restore from the last backup on my iphone" then clicked "continue." It started to restore from backup and everything appeared to be running like normal, but when it was finished and my phone restarted, my apps and songs were deleted but my pictures/wallpapers/contacts were still on the phone. In addition, instead of my itunes returning to my Iphone's library, it returned to the "Set up your IPhone" page like the restore never happened. I have tried to restore from backup multiples times after that but I end up with the same result so I cannot access my iphone's library on my itunes to add any of my songs back since the restore didn't bring any of it back. Does anyone know of a way to solve this issue? I've been able to restore my iphone successfully in the past and have never experienced this problem before so I have no idea as to how I can fix it. I hope I have explained it in a way that is easy to understand and I hope someone possibly knows how to help me.
Thank you.

Problem syncing iCal from iPhone (3GS) to Macbook, any ideas?

Hi,
I've always synced my iPhone & Mac via a cable and never had a problem until a few months ago when my calender entries on my iPhone stopped syncing to my Macbook. But if I create an event on my Macbook then later sync my iPhone the event appears on my phone's calender, so it only appears to be a one-way problem from phone to Mac. Phone is iPhone 3GS & Mac system is 10.6.8 Any ideas?

Like it or not, you need third-party software and I don't know of anything free that works. Get this:

Time Machine backup fails if you are synching your iPhone?

Time Machine has been running fine on my 10.5.4 system, but today a backup failed
with the message "...error occurred while copying files..." Looking through the
forums, I saw a mention that one should not use iTunes during a backup. In fact,
I was synching my iPhone during the failed backup. Looking at the log using
"sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log", I saw that it failed to back up
/Users/levoy/Pictures/.DS_Store. My iPhone has lots of photos on it, which are
stored in Pictures/. This comes close to a smoking gun. Lesson: don't synch your
iPhone during a Time Machine backup. Apple should track down and fix this bug.
By the way, my iPhone software is version 2.0.2, and my backup drive is a 1TB WD
drive from Apple. I have disabled sleeping the drive, as suggested elsewhere in
these forums, to avoid hangs.

Iphone 3gs shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines

I have an iPhone 3GS. It It shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines.

I have the 3GS and it recently started the RSD. At first I thought it was just the batter not holding a charge and being lower than what the display showed. However, even when fully charged the RSD's occur mostly when loading either Apps or web pages in Safari.
I have not experienced the white screen and colored line, yet apparently. Is this the logic board like in the MacBook's?

TM Backup Failed! Sometimes

I just upgraded to Leopard, primarily for the Time Machine function, and usually it works just fine. I am backing up to a 500 gigabyte Maxtor Firewire drive, which is connected to the iMac through an 80 gigabyte Maxtor external drive. About once or twice a day I get the 'Backup Failed' message in the TM preference pane. Has anyone found a fix for this recurring problem? Is this really a problem?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Backup failed with Error: (-50) Creating Directory

Repeats ad nauseum.
This is backing up to a second internal drive that is an exact duplicate (in terms of HD model and size).
Does anyone know what Error -50 means? Lack of permissions? Invalid name (doesn't seem like it)?

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the suggestion. Nope, it's not listed. The only thing listed is my Time Machine volume.
After a reboot, Time Machine seems to be working. It's making backups on schedule and the logs look good, not reporting any strangeness.
A bit bummed about these phantom errors that go away on reboot. I'll keep on eye on the error/reboot frequency.

Since I installed Yosemite, Time Machine is not doing any backup. It just keep coming with the following message in a window: "Backup Failed. Time Machine could´t back up to "....... Time Capsule". What can I do start backing up again?

Time Machine not working since Yosemite was installed.

I had this issue too and went through all the great suggestion found on this site, but finally was able to resolve it after looking at the system.log to see the reason it was failing. By using terminal and entering:
sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log
I saw "Backup failed with error:11". Then looking above, I saw many "Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES /Applications/" messages. After "Applications" I saw the culprit files that were causing Time Machine to fail. I deleted some Apps that I didn't need and found Time Machine would get farther than before. I then looked at the system.log again and saw it failing on the remaining Apps. I was able to use Time Machine to restore these App directories from a couple months ago before the Time Machine was failing. Now the problem is resolved. Whew! It seemed to be choking on corrupt files and these can be corrected by restoring earlier ones that were not corrupted.
Well, I thought I should share this with others that may have run into the same issue so they can save time. Hope it helps!

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck!

I got My iPhone 4s and restored using an Old Backup of my 3Gs

Out of the box the iPhone 4s started fine. I synced it without a problem refering to a previous backup of my iPhone 3Gs.
Network issues meant I did not use it as my primary phone for 4 days and phone still had my apps and old contacts.
When I finally got my new account active I backed up my 3Gs and 4s and proceeded to restore on my 4s overnight using my 3Gs data.
When I woke in the morning my 4s was stuck with an Apple Logo and a progress bar down the bottom with no movement and at 0.
iTunes recognises the 4s and shows me the breakup of data on my mobile but does not recognise any settings for Apps, Music, Photos.....etc.
In PC terms it is like it has loaded the operating System but has frozen trying to load settings.
In trying to restore to a 4s Backup it tells me that it fails because the mobile is Pass Code Locked.
I would like to go back to the state it was in when I got it. Out of the box!

@jmt8603
I want to ensure you're able to restore the service to your iPhone 4s! First, let's try reprogramming the device by dialing *228 Option 1. Once the device completes the "over-the-air" programming, you should be able to successfully make and receive calls and data. Please let me know how this works out for you.

Why won't my iPhone 3gs create a backup when sync with my new Mac?

When I attempt to backup my iphone 3gs with my new iMac, it syncs fine but won't create a backup. The apps aren't saving on iTunes so I can't upgrade the phone without losing some apps. I never had a problem with my old PC. Is there something I need to do to authorize a backup on the new computer? I already authorized the computer with iTunes so I could play my music, but I must be missing something with the phone. Please help.
