IPHONE 3GS TO IO6
Well I updated to io6 and I have no wi-fi, no 3gs, hardly any phone reception..
Ive read loads but most people seem to have an iphone 4.
Ive tried everything, a complete erase all etc and even a backup in case it reinstalled ios5 but no joy
can anyone help me... apple are you there?
<Title Edited By Host>
Nice idea but didnt really change anything
Cant believe this has happened, so gutted after giving apple one more chance after my macbook pro broke and was just as expensive to fix
Are there any default settings I should have? Ive turned off 3g as for some reason now that effects my phone reception and where there use to be the wireless symbol, all there is now is a big "E".....?

What are the drawbacks of upgrading jailbroken iPhone 3GS to iO6?
My iphone 3gs is jailbroken and is been bought from US to india? So i really have no idea if the phone is factory unlocked. So what if i upgade to io6? what are the problems should be expecting? and also is iot worth upgrading to it?
It could error out & leave you with a brick. Apple warns that a jailbroken iPhone may never be able to have a stock iOS installed on it.

I have updated my iPhone 3GS but iCloud doesn't work
I recently updated my iPhone 3GS to iO6; but the iCloud option is greyed out, so when I tap it nothing happens and I can't seem to figure out how to make it work.
I am not too sure but even if I didnt, wouldnt it have worked if I got a freind to log on to Find my Iphone from their apple device using my app ID and password? That didnt work either...

Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software? I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!
Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external). -
Hi, i have an iphone 3gs 16 GB, am running io5 and would like to update to io6, but am affraid i can't activate the phone because am in Sudan right now, what shall i do?
Zafo
If you can't update then wait until you get back home.
IOS 5 is a fine operating system in the meantime.

i have an activation problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to io6 using itunes but now the phone will not complete activation because it keeps saydin the activation server is not available and to re try later. ive been trying for 6 hours but it still wont activate. if i try using itunes then it sayd no sim inserted when there is one inserted, what can i do?
You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
I have noticed that my iphone 3GS app store crashes when trying to view "purchased" apps. I never had that problem since i updated to IO6. Now I have updated ot IO6.1 and still have the problem. Its only in my main itunes account [email protected] that it crashes when trying to view the "purchased" apps. With my other itunes accounts I can see my purchased apps. I dont understand why this is happening, this is extremely frustrating! I have been using my main account ever since i bought my iphone 3GS over three years now. I used to see every app ive purchased with my main account. but with mmy other itunes account i really havent download much apps so it doesnt show all my apps since the day I purchased my 3GS.Please help. I know there are many other out there that have the same problem, why isnt this problem fixed yet?????
What is a fresh restore? I'm sorry but I'm not up on the lingo LoL but I'll give it a shot if I know what I have to do>

HT1923 Upgrade install fails, Iphone 3gs unavailable
When trying up upgrade my 3GS to IO6, the installation failed, my Iphone disappeared from the Itunes menu, and my screen now shows a USB plug, arrow pointing to ITunes logo. I've tried resetting the Iphone, no change.
I actually solved my own problem by unplugging all my usb devices, restarting my computer, then using a different usb port to plug in my iphone. It was then recognized by Itunes as needing a restore. It restored to the latest IOS. After the restore, it used my most rececent backup to install my personal info, settings and apps. Now all is well.

Ios6 destroyed a perfect iPhone 3GS
I had a perfectly-working iPhone 3GS which I have had for 3 years until last Saturday when I decided to update to io6.
After doing that my iPhone no longer works and Apple Genius have not been able to restart it. They say it is a firmware issue now and the phone needs to be replaced at a cost of 149.
Anyone else facign the same issues?Are you sure you have an iPhone 3G and not an iPhone 3 because the iPhone 3 are not capable of running anything beyond 4.2

Video out from iPhone 3GS to TV.
Can I use the standard (3 phono plugs on the end) video out lead I already have to view keynote presentations from my iPhone 3GS on my TV/Projector?
Same problem here.
I can't get any video out of my faithful iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.xx.
I have been browsing Apple discussions for solutions and most of them seem to point out to a faulty Video Composite cable. This is not my case.
I can rule that out 100%.
Old iPhone 3G running ios 3.1.2 works just fine as well as does iPhone 4, with the same cable.
I have tried with a friend's TV and cable and iPhone 3GS and we have identical issues.
(different cables and phones, same issue).
Please note all testing has been done with genuine Apple Video composite cables.
So this points out clearly to a iphone iOS issue combined with hardware.
It appears that starting from iOS > 5.0 video output has been disabled on earlier iPhone models prior to 4.
It would be nice if Apple could issue a Knowledge Base document on the issue as that would save many people further testing and waste of time.
This document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108? isn't really complete enough as it stops at iphone 4.
Has anybody the ultimate answer on this issue?
Are there any known work-arounds?
Thanks and regards

TS1538 I cannot sync my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to a new computer and installing iTunes
i am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS to a new computer. I downloaded and installed iTunes and copied over the iTunes folder into My Music. Unfortunately iTunes on the new computer does not recognize my iPhone.
- The old computer was running windows XP OS 32bit. My new computer is running Windows 7, 64 bit.
- I have installed iTunes on the new computer. Windows OS recognizes the iPhone but iTunes does not. I have uninstalled and reinstall iTunes a few times now. On one reinstall, i recieved the following messages: "an iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again". Upon trying again, i recieved this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device".
every other time, nothing happens other that Windows prompting that the iPhone is detected. Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks, Singletrack200Made a new folder and that solved my problem

My 5+ yr. old iPhone 3GS is on it's last legs. I desperatly need to "back it up" ASAP, so I can buy a new iPhone, and I really need to be able to transfer my 5 years worth of info to a new iPhone, (a 4S). The computer I used to back my iPhone on when I first got it no longer works, so I was wondering about being able to back my iPhone up to my daughters laptop, but she also has an iPhone 3GS, that's already backed up to her laptop. I know you couldnt back up two iPhones up to one computer, (at least that's what I was told, years ago), but I was recently told by an "Apple" rep that I could "probably" back my iPhone up to her computer without losing anyone's info, if I created a "Secondary User Name Account" on her computer. I'm not comfortble doing this unless I'm reassured more than being told that it's "probably" safe.
Does anyone know what options I have, and if this idea would result in one or both of us losing our info, if we tried to store two iPhones "back up info" on one laptop?
My phone's barely working at all, but I can still access my info, (for now, at least). I really need to do something now.
Could anyone who knows how this works please give me some info?
Thanks in advance.First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 -
IPhone 3gs will no longer sync to iTunes on Windows 7 x64
My iPhone 3gs worked fine up until the last 2 updates. Ever since then, the iphone is not even recognized by iTunes. When I go under "devices" in the advanced settings I can see the backup for my phone. Why can't it recognize a phone that it's already recognized? I installed the latest 10.4 and still it's not recognized. I know the computer sees it as it's listed as "started" and "automatic" under services in the admin tools. I've pretty much tried every work around I can think of or seen online and nothing has worked at all. Really have no idea what to do next.
If anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue, I would greatly appreciate it! My setup is below:
Windows 7 pro x64
iTunes 10.4
iphone 3gs
Thanks in advance for any assistance!Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10644045#10644045
Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?
Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

When I create & tile patterns in AI CS6, I see unwanted seams, both onscreen & when I print
Depending on the percentage of zoom I use to view the patterns, the swatch bound seams show up in various locations. The more I zoom in, the less I see the seams, so I figured it was a screen glitch. But, when I save the file and open it in photoshop

Profiling a webcam using ColorSync
It seems that the ColorSync utility in OSX 10.5.8 will not recognize my Microsoft Lifecam VX-5000, even though it shows up in my system profiler and iChat will display a preview taken through the webcam. So it seems that I cannot profile this webcam.
