Iphone 3gs pop up warning?

My wife has a iphone 3gs and it keeps popping up a warning about this accessory not being compatible with a iphone but nothing is plugged into it. I restarted phone, reset phone, and synced it but it continues to pop up randomly. Any ideas?

Hi
 
Can you please elaborate?
 Hope it helps.

IPhone 3GS first gives warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID! Restoring failes with error 1002!

My iPhone 3GS suddendly couldn't connect to the mobile provider's network. As I was in a rural place, I though this was because of bad coverage. It was then still possible to use Wi-Fi. After a while the phone asked to connect to itunes and gave the following warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID.
I tried recovering it but procedures failes after hours with error 1002.
Is there a fix for this problem or do I need to go to a service center?

Thanks Carolyn, I've tried all the options, but still it does not finish the recovering process. It stops with still a half millimeter on the statusbar .
Will probably just have to go to a service center. I already read that more people have the same problem and no one found a solution. As I am abroad and my iPhone largely exceeded the warranty time, I wonder what they will charge.

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

Since updating my iPhone 3GS on my friends laptop, it keeps asking for her iTunes Id not mine. When I log onto a computer it comes up with my Id but from my phone it's my friends. I don't have an option to change the user Id when it pops up either.

Hello, 34sandy.
Thank you for the question. This behavior is normal if updated on another Apple ID account holders computer. To change the Apple ID on your device, follow the steps in the article below.

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

My iPhone 3GS is constantly turning off without warning. Help?

My iPhone 3GS has been constantly turning off and turning back on without warning, but my battery life is at 90%! It has been doing this for a few days, and it doesn't even stay on long enough for me to type in my password. I have tried charging it, holding in the sleep/home button, and turning it off. Nothing seems to work. Help?

Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
Although the issue described could be a battery or system board issue.

Hey looking to sync my iphone with itunes. However it fails to appear in iTunes. I have checked my USB ports and there is an 'enhanced device' present, however when i connect my iPhone 3gs, a pop-up window says that 'This device can perform faster'

Hey, just bought an iPhone 3GS off a friend an am looking to sync it to iTunes The version is 4.3.3. Is this normal ?. The device fails to appear in Itunes however. I have checked my USB ports under device manager and there is an 'Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller'. Does this mean all my ports are 2.0? When I connect my device it says ' This device Can perform faster' if connected to a USB port. Need Advice.
Thanks

Minimum requirements for the iPhone 3GS for Windows for USB is 2.0.

Since yours says, "enhanced" .. it should be 2.0
Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall then sync.
Disable antivirus software
Turn Windows Firewall on or off

3.0.1 Update crashes iPhone 3GS

Yesterday, I connected my iPhone 3GS to a Windows PC running XP Pro. ITunes loaded and displayed the phone, then offered the 3.0.1 update. I decided to accept. First, iTunes warned that it needed to be updated to support this OS version for the iPhone. But the update failed because BonJour.msi file was missing from this PC. After hours of research, I found an article, followed the instructions, installed and ran "Windows Install Clean Up" which allowed me to get rid of the missing link to Bonjour.msi. I was then able to complete the updates to Bonjour, iTunes, Quicktime, etc. I rebooted the PC and opened iTunes. I connected my iPhone 3G S using the cable supplied with the phone. iTunes again offered the update, but did not recognize the phone. I chose to set it up as a new phone on that PC. I then accepted the update. I saw the usual screens. Then it stalled on the Verifying... pop-up window on the screen on the PC. The phone showed the large up arrow, itunes, and the apple symbol. They just sat there for over 10 hours. Clicking on any other part of iTunes did not work. I finally used Window Task Manager to end iTunes to recover control of my PC. The iPhone was stuck on the same screen. I rebooted the PC, unplugged the iPhone, did a hard shut down on the iPhone, and powered it back on. Still on the same screen. Connected it back to the USB port. Still locked up. Unable to get the iPhone to be recognized by iTunes. Later, when I returned to a location where my MacBook Pro was located, I plugged in the iPhone to that. It did not know the iPhone, so this time, I selected a restore from my older iPhone 3G backup. That got the iPhone working again. But when I then reconnected it to the PC to try to restore my lost programs and data --- you know the drill. iTunes would not let me choose the backup I presume was done before the 3.0.1 update attempt. I stopped there and came here to ask for help in restoring this iPhone to the backup which I hope was done before the 3.0.1 update, cause that would be were all my data and programs would be. How do I get iTunes to allow me to restore from that backup, even though the 3GS iPhone now has a different name (same as my older 3G)?

try to re install itunes. it should keep all your songs videos and apps and just restore the program. Just in case that doesn't restore i would suggest you back up your computer first

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.

Transfering iMessages from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5

How can I transfer my iMessages from old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 5?

Have you tried to transfer it in sections. When you plug in your phone to your PC the autorun should pop up. Instead of importing the pics can you view the folders, then hightlight a certain amount of pics and then copy it to your My pictures on your PC.
Just another option to consider.

Reverse syncing from iPhone 3GS to iPhoto?

I sync my iPhone to my MacBook with iPhoto 2009. I have no problems.
Now the Mrs. wants to sync her iPhone 3GS to my MacBook.
Here's my question:
She already has a bunch of photo albums and video albums on her iPhone. They are NOT in the cameral roll, but are in various albums under "Photos" from when we synced her iPhone on her POS Windows Craptastic laptop.
When I go to sync her phone to iPhoto 2009 via the MacBook's iTunes, a message comes up warning that syncing would delete the photos on her iPhone and replace them with photos from iPhoto.
I want to keep the photos she has on her iPhone, preferably syncing them across into iPhoto on the MacBook. I'm afraid that if I sync her phone and photos to the MacBook, I will lose forever that which is already on her iPhone.
Any ideas please?

The sync process for photos from your computer to your iPhone is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported (the original resolution is reduced), which should remain on the computer used for transferring the photos from. Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
The iPhone does not support disk mode. It can't be used as an external flash drive for transferring data from one computer to another.
Your Mrs. needs to transfer the photos from her PC to your Mac importing the photos into iPhoto. This can be done with an external hard drive or with a USB Flash drive or pen.

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!

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

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..
