ITunes 9.2.1 & iPhone 3GS iOS 4.0.1 - Apps Icons Missing After Sync

As stated on the title.
It was syncing fine with all the icons and everything when I was running 3.1.3, but after i updated to the new iOS and the new iTunes, the apps have been getting funky. Sometimes they'll go missing or moved around quite a bit. Anyone else have this problem? I have two other co-workers with the same problem. I am running Windows 7 64-Bit
First co-worker: 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 & iTunes 9.2.1 - Using Windows XP
Second co-worker: 3G on iOS 3.1.2 & iTunes 9.2.1 - Using Windows 7 32-bit
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Is this a common problem with the new iTunes?

I had the problem where I got an unknown error when upgading from 3.1.3 to 4.0.1 last night. It put my phone into recovery & said that I had to restore it. Tried to twice but I still kept getting the unknown error message. Wasn't until I restarted my computer that it let me restore.
All of my music, videos, contacts, etc are fine. But I found that none of my apps were restored to the phone. So I had to go back through & manually drag each one back onto the iPhone in iTunes and then re-sync it. But now none of the apps will load or open. I have tried switching the phone off & back on a number of times but it hasn't helped.
Next I am going to try to restore again & see if that helps. From what I understand, the apps should have also been restored from the previous backup. Am not sure what happened in my case though

App Icons Mismatched after syncing up new 3Gs

Has anyone else had this problem. My apps are on my new 3Gs but some, not all, have the wrong icon. For example, my Remote app show the icon for a jigsaw puzzle app but says "Remote" under the icon. The app appears to work just fine. Same thing for my Kindle app -- wrong icon but the app works fine. Thoughts?

It may work for some. I tried this on the other thread as seen with other iPhones on 3.0...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2044341&tstart=0
Doesn't seem to fix it for me. Any fix that I've seen is only temporary and for some reason or another the icons revert back. The only trend I've seen is that generally the first 3-4 pages of icons are correct, with most after that being screwed up. Moving a screwed up icon, even after re-installation does not fix the problem however. Removing the App via iTunes or the phone and then reinstalling it via sync does not seem to work.
Any ideas anyone? This is truly frustrating.

Need help with itune 10.7 and iphone 3gs, ios 6.

Hi,
My husband dropped my old computer that my itunes was on. My iphone is 3GS that was using IOS 4.3.2 that it was synced with.
Got a new computer and downloaded itunes 10.7.
Was told to backup my iphone on itunes, update my iphone to the latest IOS (6) then to restore from backup.
My husband did that but he feels something happen with the restore from backup.
First we can't add any of the app's or songs to the phone or to get it to sync to itunes.
It will not let us apply only revert.
Any thoughts?

Got it to work by following a "More Like This".
Held down both the home and power buttons until the apple icon showed up.
Waited until the apple icon went away the pushed the home button and slid to unlock.
Hooked up the phone to itunes and surprise, iphone and itunes synced up!

I cannot install apps on iphone 3gs. It shows that app is installing after entering password and then it quits. I can still update apps

After I enter my password, it shows that it is installing app then it goes back to the install app screen. I can still update apps though. I updated my software to iOS 6.1.3 and that did not help. I do not receive any error messages.

Did you find a solution for this? I have a user at work with this exact issue but on their iPhone 4S.
Thanks

IPhone 3GS (iOS 5) will not sync, stuck on *backing up* in iTunes 10.6.3.25

I recently updated iTunes to the latest update for Windows, since then, whenever I connect my phone and try to sync it just gets stuck in *backing up* for ages.. if I leave it it will be in backing up for hours. I cannot sync my phone or add any content now. I've been told to try and click the *X* in the progress window at the top of iTunes - but doing this does nothing but freeze iTunes for a few minutes - then it continues to *back up*... frustrating. Can anyone help?
Ta very much,

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

IPhone 3GS/IOS 6.1.6/Yosemite 10.10/iTunes 12.0.1.26 will not update or install apps

I have an iPhone 3GS/IOS 6.1.6/iMac Yosemite 10.10/iTunes 12.0.1.26. I have always synced it with my 27 inch iMac with no problems.
I recently attempted to install the apps "The Economist Expresso" and "Disconnect."
I do NOT have (and have never had installed) the Wall Street Journal app.
I do have a 4 digit passcode set.
I do have Apples 2-factor authentication enabled.
When downloaded by iTunes they show up in an iPhone window and are labeled "will install".
I then click sync.
The sync process begins and they "immediately" disappear from the iPhone windows and revert back to "install" in the list of apps.
They have not installed and no error or any other message of any kind has been displayed.
I suspect that this all began happening when I enabled the two factor authentication -- the iPhone is the primary location to receive the authorization code, and it has worked. It may also have begun happening when I upgraded to Yosemite. I simply noticed that when syncing my iPhone, which I tend to do weekly by USB cable, not WiFi or iCloud; that the amount of free space simply kept growing.
Today, I finally gave in and reset the iPhone, and then restored from a backup.
Now I find that apps which I had been using daily, such as AP Mobile, were not restored, but also play this -- will install, then vanish -- game.
This is clearly something which Apple has done to attempt to force me to purchase a new iPhone 6, but until now I have had no problem with my 3GS for what I use it for. This total lack of error messages will cause me to replace my 3GS with a non-Apple product as there is clearly no reason to stick with Apple.
And yes, for me COST is a very big deal.

No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
My last Problem is:
There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
Is this a known Bug?
Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
Thank you very much for your Help!

Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing. I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer. Apple, fix this now!!!

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

Hi. I have an iphone 3gs ios vers 4.1 it was locked to Vodafone but I had them unlock it. Can I update to ios vers 6 and will it still be unlocked. Most apps need vers 4.3 or higher to download. Thanks

Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse anything I may say that sounds a bit stupid but I am not very technically minded.
I have got an iPhone 3gs ios version 4.1. The phone was locked to Vodafone and I asked them to unlock it which they did. I connected the phone to iTunes and it said congratulations your phone is now unlocked. My new Tesco sim card was accepted and the phone works fine. I have tried to download some apps but they all seem to need a higher version of the ios. iTunes says there is an update for my phone ios version 6. I need to know if I update my phone to this version will my phone still be unlocked and also will the phone continue to work properley. Hope someone can help.
Thanks DaveB

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:
