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!
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).

1015 ? I'm trying to update my iPhone 3 and get this error message. The phone belonged to my wife, and I'm trying to restore it to factory settings as new owner. Any ideas?
Before beginning the download, try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the secure OS your computer is running.

Hi I updated my iPhone 4 and my Mum's iPhone 4 to software version 5.0. They both use the same apple id and they are both backed up to iCloud. Once I updated my mum's phone i noticed that her contacts are now on my phone i deleted some of them but then she noticed that they had been deleted off her phone to. Has anyone got any ideas please.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your password for logging into iCloud cant be different than your password for your Apple ID if you use that Apple ID to log into iCloud, it sounds as though you are using 2 accounts. -
After updating my iphone 3G and my ipotouch 3G with ios5, the apple remote controls (the white and the aluminium one) doesn´t react when iphone or ipod are docked at the universal dock. The remote controls both still work with my Macbook, therefore it must be a problem with the dock. I have tried to connect both with the dock (Menu + left for 6 seconds) but it doesn´t help. Further the volume control doesn´t react on the iphone and the ipod when they are docked. Neither the one on the touchscreen nor the buttons. The day before the update everything was fine. Anyone any idea?
Thanks!Look at the previous posts on the right under the heading: "More Like This". I appears that others are having the same problem.

I am trying to update my Iphone 3 and when i get to the activation step after a few minutes it shows a message that says " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try conenecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If the problem persist, contact apple support at apple.com/support
I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance. -
I'm trying to update my iphone 4 and in order to compelte the restore backup from itunes i need to turn off the 'find my iphone' but i cant get passed the restore backup stage - what should i do?
Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
iCloud - iPhone User Guide

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

IOS 5.0.1 update on iphone 4s and error 1645
Dear all
I have just tried to update my iphone 4s and am getting a error 1645 which has meant I have wasted hours of my life restoring my phone.
What is 1645 error? i cant find anything about this in the Apple error list.
I have read on a few places that its a hardware issue and some users have had problem on iphone 3g.
Any ideas.
Thanks
DanYep, having the same problem. I use iPad first generation with iOS 5.0.1, it freezes and I have to re-start my iPad quite often. It's different apps that freeze, not the same app every time.
I bought a new iPad 2 for my daughter as a christmas gift, it run well – until I upgraded it to iOS 5.0.1. Now that one freezes too! It's frustrating, especially for my daughter who's so happy about her new iPad 2 and can't use it without the apps keep freezing. This morning she asked me why on earth I bought her this iPad 2 when it's not working, she have to restart it quite often.
Same thing with my iPhone 3GS, use iOS 5.0.1 in that one too. It all started as soon as I got the iOS 5.0.1 inside. Sometimes I can't make a simple phone call since my phonebook freezes. I tap and I tap but nothing happen. So I have to restart my iPhone and then I'm able to make my phone call. And everyone knows that iPhone is not starting up fast either. What if my house is on fire? Well, before I can call the fire department I have to restart my iPhone!! I don't trust my iPhone because the phonebook freeze.
I'm a Macaholic, I use Apple products everywhere and anytime on a daily basis since years. But Apple products is not what they once were – without so many problems as I experiencing them today.
I really do hope Apple solve this problem with iOS 5.1!! -
I updated my iphone tonight and now my texting is crazy. When I text my daughter, the text comes to my iphone.
Hi sigrun from mo,
If you are having a button issue on your iPhone that prevents you from doing further troubleshooting, you may need to have the phone serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

I updated my iphone 4 and my daughter's iphone 4s. It's a family share plan - same bill, different phone numbers. My texts are showing up on her phone, and vise versa. Only to contacts that we both have - ex. my mother I'm sure I've done something wrong in the icloud share ........help.
ON either device go to settings - message - send&receive - either uncheck or remove the apple id.

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.
Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

i just tried updating my iphone 4 and now my phone is in recovery mode and i dont want to loose anything on my fone someone help please!!!!!
If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup. -
I updated my iphone 5 and now it is telling me to be able to work i had to connect it to itunes and itunes it telling me that i have to restore my iphone. what can i do? i dont want to lose all my pictures and stuff like that.
Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed. -
