This usually means your iPhone's dock connector port has damage - physical or moisture damage.

Iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage
My iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage. When he texts me, his name comes through as my email address. I think this could be because we both have the same itunes account. not all messages my brother sends i recieve but i would just like this sorted out. please help!
Sounds like you signed up the same account for iMessages or the same phone number was added to iMessages.
Go into SETTINGS/MESSAGES/SEND & RECEIVE
That is the list of numbers and email addresses that the phones will receive iMessages for. Remove the duplicates that you might see between the two phones. Also make sure that the Apple ID at the top is not the same.

IPhone 3GS message: "Accessory not optomized..."
On my way to Walgreens...plugged iPhone 3GS into my car charger (non-Apple product) and suddenly the message said: "Accessory not optomized for this iPhone...You may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength." Now, even without the charger plugged in, the message pops up about every 20 seconds, and the ringer won't work. I'm also getting no sound from the external speaker. I tried shutting the phone off and a hard reset...nothing works. Please help!!!
Check the dock connector on your iPhone for dirt/lint/debris etc. and clean it.

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4, and activated it this morning. My prior phone is the iPhone 3GS, running iOS 6.0.1. Whenever someone using an iPhone sends me a message, it goes straight to iMessage and doesn't go to my Galaxy. I have no service on my iPhone, just wifi. Even when an iPhone owner sends it to my phone number it goes to iMessage. I disassociated my phone number from my Apple ID, and I removed my phone number from Settings and just put 0, since you have to put in something or else you can't save it. Please help! I want all my messages to go to my new phone, but still have the option to use iMessage in my old iPhone using my email, so I can use it like an iPod.
Thanks in advance :)Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

Windows 7 (64 bit), iTunes 9 (64 bit), iPhone 3GS = CRASH!
I have just bought a brand new Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 (64bit), 500Gb of disk space, 6Gb RAM, multi-core processor etc etc. I've installed the 64bit version of iTunes and transferred over my iTunes library (about 35Gb worth).
When I connect my iPhone 3GS, iTunes sees it no problem and starts to update it (my playlists only copy about 10Gb of music over + some photos, videos and podcasts - iPhone has about 10Gb out of 32Gb free after sync). But iTunes then carries on displaying the message "Syncing iPhone..." in the top window and if I look at the performance monitor whilst this happens, the memory usage goes up, and up, and up steadily increasing until all 6Gb is used with 100% CPU usage, and the PC eventually runs out of resources and stalls/crashes, without the Sync ever completing.
If I reboot and repeat the process, cancelling the sync half way through, the CPU immediately comes down, and the memory too.
Am I doing something daft here? I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, making sure I used the 64bit link from the iTunes download pages, but this happens every time.
Has anyone else seen this issue, or know what it is?
The PC is fully patched, has MS Security Essentials installed, nothing else is running at the time, and the iPhone is using the latest OS version.
PLEASE HELP!!Hello again.
Yes, I've removed all the Sony Bloatware, including all the audio and video scanning processes.
When I look at the processes running when the problem is occuring, it is iTunes.exe taking up all the CPU and memory. Very little else appears to be affecting things.
You're probably familiar with the sequence of events when syncing - iphone is detected (pop up message from Windows about transferring photos), syncs music and photos and videos and apps, then returns to generic "Syncing Pete's iPhone 3GS" message, (usually the last thing before it says "Sync complete" and then sits there - this is when the processor goes to max and RAM steadily increases.
I've checked the Sony website and downloaded all updates and installed.
Does anyone know what iTunes is doing in this last bit of the Sync process?

I'm trying to update my iphone 3GS to the 4.3.4 version and I am getting the error message "This version of itunes (version 9.1.1) is the current version. How do I update my PHONE and why is an itunes update being confused for my iphone?
You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

I can't get my apps to sync on my new iPhone 3gs. This happened on a previous iPhone and never was resolved. Could there be a conflict with some settings on my computer? I want to use my apps!!!
Click 6 here > iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
Could be your security software preventing the sync to finish. -
I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!
Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users.. -
I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal. Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that. Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card. Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account.
Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud. Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account. To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate. -
I tried to update my old iPhone 3GS and is giving me a message that it can be activated. This is my old phone and it shouldn't have a line but I Still like to use it as an iPod. What can I do.
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?
I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message. I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are. I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.
Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On -
after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html
