ITunes version 9.1 and Iphone 3GS version 4 syncing problem

I updated my Iphone to the newest (4.0) software but when I plugged it in, it came up saying that the Iphone "Iphone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 9.2 or later but when I check for updates and the pop up comes up saying A new version of iTunes (9.2) is available. Would you like to download it now? and I press Download iTunes, it says my software is up to date. How can I fix this problem? It doesn't even recognize my phone any more. I tried downloading the new iTunes from the Apple website but to no avail. Help!

try deleting itunes completely off ur computer and then re install the latest version and see if that works

Iphone 4S won't back up on itunes, but ipad, ipod and iphone 3GS will.

I took delivery of my new iphone 4S on Friday and am running the latest iOS and latest version of itunes and the phone restored from the back up copy of my 3GS with no problems and is working great.
I have just tried to back up the 4S on itunes (as I usually do weekly), its syncs ok but then I get the error message:
"itunes could not backup iphone because an error occurred"
I have tried deleting previous back ups, deleting the lockdown folder, backing up on another PC and pretty much everything suggested here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529 apart from reinstalling itunes but it still won't back up and throws up the error message. If I plug in my ipad, ipod touch or old 3GS they all back up immediately which is leaning towards me thinking there may be a problem with the phone rather than itunes.
I have been able to back up via iCloud so I'm not too worried in the immediate future however I do like to keep an iTunes back up as well (for e.g. creating a .csv file of messges etc
Am a bit stuck now and am not sure which direction to go - do you think a restore would change anything (I assume a restore from iCloud would put the phone back to how it is tonight after the iCloud back up so not sure if this will change anything, (I have always backed up to the PC in the past so have no experience of iCloud back up processes) or should I make an appointment at the genius bar? Googling just seems to come up with what I've already done.
Thanks in advance.

Open iTunes and go to Edit>Check for Updates. You'll need to be running at least XP SP2 or later to update to version 10.7.

IPhone 3GS Music Syncing Problems

When I try to sync music to my IPhone 3GS the playlists show up but only like one song from each will show up. help?

Sync without check "Sync Music" checkbox to clear your library in your iPhone.
Reset your iPhone (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.)
Sync again.

Re: "no service" on iPhone 3Gs (version 4.3.2), my 3 kids all have iPhone 4 (version 4.1) with no issues! We are all with the same carrier (vodafone) and live in the same location. Please help me fix this!

My iPhone 3Gs (version 4.3.2) has decided to no longer connect to my service provider/carrier (vodafone AU). There are 3 iPhone 4's (version 4.1) using the same carrier living in the same location, having no related issues. I have thought about updating firmware or restoring the iPhone, but not sure if thats the way to go?? My iPhone starts out recognising my carrier....searches & searches... but then.... connection "FAILS" and states "my network provider is no longer available"!! Any suggestions?...please!!

Anyone at all can advise- still not sorted :-(

i have an iphone 3gs version 4.1 ! i got it from ebay usa and i use it in cyprus.if i update it will it lock?

All US sold iPhones are carrier locked to AT&T.
Neither AT&T or Apple will unlock them under any conditions.
If the device is unlocked, it has been un-officially unlocked.
Updated the device will almost certainly relock it to AT&T.
Save yourself some hassle, either return it to the seller or re-sell it online. Then purchase an iPhone intended for use in your country.

Updates of Apps from iTunes 11 for iPad and iPhone 5

Since updating to version 11 of iTunes both my iPad and iPhone 5 cannot get updates for apps. My iPad is showing that there are 3 updates available but when I try to connect I get the error message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". Other links such as top charts, genius and purchased are all available. Synching the iPad has had no effect. Has anyone any ideas? Many thanks for any help.

If you are attempting to update directly on the iOS device, there have been a number of issues reported around this. Appears to be a server issue and is effecting some, but not all user. Some things to try:
Wait it out a little bit while Apple addresses the server issues
Try downloading any available free app. Once the download is complete, try the updates again.
Try connecting from another WiFi network
Sign out of your apple ID (Setting app, iTunes & App store) and sign back in
Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
You might want to start with the reset. May not help, but won't hurt.

ICloud with os lion 10.5.8 and IPhone 3Gs

What a pain in the A**. Is there anyone out there that can assist me? I would soooooo appreciate the feedback. Not sure if its fully functional with this combination. (ICloud, Lion 10.5.8, IPhone 3Gs) I dont want MobileMe. I have an Mac email. I have the Iphone 3Gs with all of the updates. I just downloaded ICloud to my MAC itunes to get some of my music off the hard drive and free up space. When I synced my IPhone through ITunes, I am not able to look at my photos, emails etc (gmail etc). Its says I need to sign in with correct password? Ive put in the correct passwords? I used the password that I use on my mac (which works fine) but doesn't work on IPhone? Crazy. I authorized my Itunes, with no luck of finding the area to adding the IPhone either? Does anyone know if its compatible? I do have an upgrade to Snow Lepoard, (that I have not upgraded to yet) but was reading in the forum, thats its not compatible with ICloud and IPhone 3Gs?
Any one that can help would be so greatly appreciated!

Mac OSX 10.5 is Tiger, not Lion. iCloud is not supported on Tiger AFAIK unless you login to iCloud.com. I still run Snow Leopard (which you should probably upgrade to), and iCloud is basically useless for me. The whole reason we have iPhones is so we DON'T have to stay connected to Wi-fi 99% of the time to enjoy iOS services right? lol
If your passwords don't work, you may just want to reset them, so then both your iPhone and Mac will recognize them.

Itunes is not recognizing my iphone 3gs

Iphone 3gs cannot sync to itunes

why my iPhone 3gs cannot sync to itunes? after i click synced, the phone seemed to sync to itunes but when it's about to complete, itunes cancelled the sync. WHYYYY? I've been having this problem since i've updated my iPhone to iO5.

Two things to try:
If you have a Windows computer open a Command window and type:
netsh winsock reset
If this doesn't fix it, or if you have a Mac, your current backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, highlight the backup and delete it.
And if this still doesn't fix it, you may have a badly corrupted backup. Delete it manually by going the the Backup folder and deleting everything in it. You can find it as follows:
Mac OS: ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
