Iphone 4.0.2 UPGRADE ON IPHONE 3GS

I have downloaded iphone 4.0.2 firmware on Itunes on my Imac.
Considering all the problems this release seems to create,
I decided not to upgrade the Iphone.
I there a way to get rid of the release download on Itunes,
to prevent any accidental unvoluntary uprade ?
Jean.

i had an ipod touch 3rd gen until a few weeks ago (i sold it), i got an iphone 3G (bcos i can't afford 3GS. in my country it's quite expensive). after i updated my ex-ipod to iOS4, i totally loved it, although at times i noticed it got slow with apps, but nothing big there. just lagged for like 1-2 seconds (which never happened before with OS 3.1.3.
i love the iOS4 so much in my ex-ipod that i soooo..want to upgrade my iphone 3G too, but looking at all these complaints makes me so disappointed. after reading all this complaints, it seems like Apple doesn't really understand its own machines. they should've created at least 2 different updates of iOS4. 1 for the 3GS and above, while another 1 for 3G and below or whatsoever. it really shows that there are so much of a difference between 3G and 3GS.
What Apple is doing to it's users is a sign of "ungrateful". especially to the iphone 3G users. i fell so sad for them. i'm really sorry, u guys.. i really hope Apple will find a COMPLETE solution for us 3G users ASAP, which also includes a REAL upgrade, not a downgrade. helllloooo!!!!
lastly, i feel really GRATEFUL for not upgrading my iphone 3G to the iOS4 (ANY VERSION)!!
p/s: those who have not done the upgrade, PLEASE DO NOT DO IT!!! you'll regret it.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

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.

I upgraded my iphone 3GS and now it won't play sounds from apps or music. I also cannot sync my music onto my phone.. PLEASE HELP! :(

Hi Guys
I recently upgraded my iphone 3GS to the new ioS 5.1. After I did this and synced my phone, it won't let me play any audio from apps, itunes or music. It will allow the phone to ring but that is all. When I use viber I have to press this button and change it from docking to iphone. I take it that the phone thinks I'm permanently on a docking system.
It also will not sync my music back to my phone. My music is on itunes but it won't let it sync.
I have restored my phone twice and it still won't work - HELP!! Please???

Your device is broken. If you want a device that works better than the one you have now, then you'll either need to bring your phone into Apple for out of warranty exchange ($149), or find a 3rd party repair shop in your area and see what they can do, if anything at all.

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

Iphone 3gs Upgrade to 4.2.1 deletes visual voicemail

I unfortunately have just upgraded my iphone 3GS to 4.2.1 and found that my visual voice mail is no longer a feature. When I go to the phone menu screen, the favorites, recents, contacts and keypad still work. When I touch the voicemail icon, it immediately calls my voicemail each time. It does not go to the visual voicemail screen, but instead shows the keypad and is calling my voicemail number. It won't even let me see my saved visual voicemails. This is a pretty big weekend to be out of touch. Is anyone else having this problem? Thank you for any feedback.

I upgraded my 3G to 4.2.1 last night and tried to set individual alert tones for SMS. Well, as everyone here probably knows, that was false advertising by Apple.
I saw the thread here, though, about visual voicemail and checked mine. Sure enough, no go. When I clicked the bottom-right icon for voicemail, it just dialed. I didn't need a PIN, though, it hooked me straight up. I hung up and called voicemail a couple of more times, switched to the contact list and back to voicemail and eventually I got the on-screen prompt for the PIN. I filled that in (and it was maybe a bit lucky I remembered it) and all was well again ... with the voicemail. Saved messages were present.

I upgraded from iphone 3gs to 4; all i want to do is have my saved information added to the newer model phone....but itunes don't "see" it

i upgraded from iphone 3gs to 4; in itunes, it doesn't "see" the 4 is attached, so i'm not able to sync. it does see the old 3gs, under the new number. i need help with syncing my new phone with all the data stored in itunes.HELP!

What computer OS are you using? Need to know that before recommending a support document.

Upgrading from iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4 problems! Help!!

My uncle sent me his old iPhone 4 since he got the 4S. I currently have an iPhone 3Gs. However, when I restore the iPhone 4 from the backup of my 3Gs, my number won't transfer from the 3Gs to the iPhone 4! What do I do?

No I didn't. I figured since my uncle upgraded to his iPhone 4S, his number would be gone from this sim card he sent with the phone. His phone service is gone, but the sim card still identifies with his number, and when I try to restore the phone from my backup, EVERYTHING transfers over, except the number. Is there a way to wipe the sim card clean, maybe?

Transferring apps from Iphone 3Gs to PC so i can upgrade

I have tried everything i can find to transfer my apps from my iphone 3GS to itunes on my PC so i can upgrade the phone but nothing works..Right click on phone on left side of screen, click transfer purchases and it only transfers 1 app which was a free app....I have synced the phone/ back up a couple times in the past couple weeks but it takes 4-6 hours to complete and still only shows 1 app in my itunes library...I dont have that much on the phone..150 apps....50-60 pictures and address book...does it always take this long ? Help.....Jay

Just FYI, when I did this, I had to manually select all the Apps to reinstall after restoring the iPhone4 with my iPhone 3GS backup. Most of the data for those apps transferred over with possibly one exception - a game (Nanosaur 2) in which my save games all disappeared.
I guess what I'm curious to know is, when you restore from a backup, shouldn't the Apps automatically restore and be in their previous positions? I had to go back and manually rearrange all my Apps which took quite a bit of time.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

I have an old imac that won't upgrade to itunes ios5. Now i can't log my iphone 4s into it or access/ transfer anything from my previous iphone 3gs. Please advise

I have been told that my iMac jjust can not be upgraded to the software that supports ios5. Normally this is not a problem since its working just as well as the day I got it. However since it holds my itunes, now i have a problem of 1) can not access it with my ipad or my iphone 4s 2) i can not retrieve any of the pictures, songs etc that i had on my previous iphone 3gs and consequently 3) i can not use icloud. I have considered transferring my itunes to a pc but i hate the pc experience and if i would plug in my 3gs into that itunes it would format the phone and erase all content on it. So far i have been told that the only option is to buy a new mac. This is very frustrating because i don't really need one and i should not be excluded from apple services for my new products simply because macs become somehow "un-upgradeable" after a while. Not to mention, that i do not have the funds atm. I really hope the is another way out there for people like me and that i don't have to worry about my mac simply being inoperable (causing all my other apple devices to be crippled as well) after a few years.
Thank you,
Tina

Glenn,
I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

I upgrade my iPhone 3gs from 4.1 to 6.1 but i am unable to activate my phone now

I upgrade my apple iPhone 3GS IOS from 4.1 to 6.1.4 but now i m unable to activate this phone, and there is no sim card is accepting by this phone.
please help me to solve this issue as soon as possible

Sounds like your iPhone was unofficially unlocked by hacking it. You need to call AppleCare, tell them you only want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is locked to and give them the model and serial number. Then contact that cell carrier and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

Have you tried doing turning the battery level display off and then General -> "Reset all settings"? You won't loose any data and that should do the trick.

After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!!

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.
