Iphone4 not compatible with tmobile
I bought a used iphone 4 but discovered that it had no area for a sim card. I am a TMobile customer. What is the best way/easiest way for me to switch phones? Does Apple have a program for that? Who would I contact? I went to the apple store and they told me to check on line but I found nothing.
Sounds like you bought a Verizon phone. They were the first CDMA phone, an iPhone 4 and it did not have a SIM card slot. For T-Mobile, you need a GSM phone. You should have known that prior to buying the phone. However, since you have it now, you need to try and sell it to recoup your money so you can buy a GSM version phone. Apple does not have a buyback or tradein program. You need to sell it and purchase a phone that will work for you. It also will need to be an unlocked phone for it to work with T-Mobile, since they are not a supported carrier of the iPhone.

Iphone4 not compatible with Mercedes Command
I just upgraded from iphone3 to iphone4 and I've noticed:
1. I cannot connect my phone to the Mercedes cradle. It just doesnt fit.
2. I cannot find the Mercedes cradle when discovering it from my iphone Bluetooth
3. The contact names in the Command centre have disappeared and only show phone numbers instead.
When will these 3 problems be fixed?
I guess I need to wait for Mercedes for the first problem, but I guess Apple are responsible for the other two problems?All of it would be through Mercedes-Benz. It is a firmware issue of probable outdated drivers. You would have to search on Google for "firmware drivers" along with the make and model of your vehicle.
A few of the past generation models (2000-2010 hearsay) have support online for firmware drivers. Some of the cars such as "Ford Sync" systems contain USB Firmware transfers. Other vehicles require burning the drivers to CD/DVD, then putting it into your stereo to update the firmware.
The dock part would be sold by Mercedes if they have a replacement dock from 3G and 3GS modeling to iPhone 4 docking. If not, maybe in the near future. Several tech companies build updates to the hardware within six months of the release date.
But the drivers should be right off if there are any from Mercedes. The drivers would be through them or through other parties that have collected the drivers. -

When I sync my Iphone4 on Itunes I get a message saying that some apps (eg Find Friends) cannot update because its not compatible with my phone.
I also am not able to up/download mail even though my Provider is adamant the setting are correct...
IOS 7.1.2
would appreciate help with these issues :-)However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.) -
Auvio fm transmitter/charger not compatible with iPhone4 suddenly??
Ever since I updated to iOS5 my phone will not play music or charge with any of my accessories. The only way to charge my phone is with the USB cord that came with my phone... Very irritating since I've spent a bunch of money on these accessories. Is there anything I can do to make them work or is this another Apple issue I have to "wait" out??
I have just been down this route.
I had an old Belkin Tunecast II that I used with my Ipod Touch. When I got my 3GS, I thought I'd get an Iphone compatible one to compliment it and avoid the nag message telling me "this accessory is not compatible with the Iphone..blah blah..airplane mode...blah"
Anyway, with the old Tunecast, you just slotted the Ipod Touch in place and there were several interchangeable supporting cradles...easy.
The new Belkin is a pain and requires you not only to slot the Iphone into the cradle, but also insert a lead into the headset jack!! What a backwards step!
The Griffin was fine for a day..then stopped working! The Ipod was playing, but nothing was being transmitted to the stereo.
So, I've gone back to the old Tunecast! I've removed the cradle and my Iphone sits quite happily resting against the back of the unit. I get the message about a non-compatible accessory, but it transmits and charges the phone fine.
So until something better comes out..I'm sticking with "old faithful" -
Error message when attempting to backup up iPhone4S to Mac says "iTunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup? Can't find answer to that anywhere.
We had this problem after upgrading to iOS 8. The iPhone 5 would not backup either to the cloud or to the computer. Backup always ended with an error message.
Long story short, with the help of iFunBox ( which I used to make manual backups of some important iPhone data files ), I discovered two games that
would crash iFunBox. They were not important games for us, so I didn't try to isolate the offending data files. And I deleted the two games from the iPhone.
Apparently these two games conflicted with iOS 8 just as they did with iFunBox. The next backup without those games was then successful.
I backed up to both the Mac and the cloud.
Hope this helps. -
I replaced a faulty iPhone 4S with a new handset today, another iPhone 4S. I was certain to backup my previous iPhone 4S to iTunes on my PC before returning the faulty unit. The new phone was 'set up' at the Apple Store and updated to the current iOS, 7.0.4, as was the faulty unit prior to replacement. Upon connecting the new unit to iTunes to restore to the most recent restore point from earlier in the day, the following message was shown:
"iTunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored."
I've browsed other forums and have contacted the Apple Store Genius Bar, and will hear from the Lead Genius tomorrow. In the meantime, I am hoping someone may have information for me on what I may need to do in order to restore my phone as I'd anticipated doing by now. My photos, email and text messages are what is affected and have not repopulated. My music is accessable via iCloud without a problem and my contacts were kept via SIM. I regularly copy my Camera Roll from my iPhone to my computer, and most of my photos are still viewable via Apple TV/My Photo Stream however only through the photos last saved. The 348 recent photos that were on my faulty unit, and viewable in My Photo Stream were presumedly safe, but have disappeared.
I have yet to shut down or restart my computer, nor have I exited out of iTunes, for the simple reason that I'd anticipated returning home with the new handset and plug it into my computer to restore right away. I did, but that's as far as I've gotten.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
Tried again with a simulated test.
Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
Any ideas? -
Is iphone compatible with tmobile service?
i was wondering if the iphone is compatible with Tmobile phone service. Can I add it to a family plan?
Not for the next 4 1/2 years I'm afraid (AT&T is the exclusive carrier for 5 years from launch).

I am unable to backup my iPhone4 (4.3.4) after months of successful backups. Receive "iPhone could not backup the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Followed advise on user forum to delete the old backup... did not help. Need to do a backup. Is there a cure?
The only thing that resolved it for me was to COMPLETELY remove all Apple components per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925. I also downgraded to iTunes 10.3 since my issue didn't start until after the 10.4 update. May not be related but oh well....You will have to restore your old iTunes Library file (*.itl) if you downgrade.
