Just because the iphone 3g is no longer sold, doesnt mean people still dont own it.

i am not happy with apple, i bought the iphone 3g when it came out and now since they have a newer iphone they can just cut off there services to the iphone 3g??!!! like just cause its older doesnt mean people dont own them anymore. my phone is always glitching out, or a lot of apps i cant get cause its not compatible with this iphone. in my opinion thats dumb. i cant afford to just go out and buy a brand new iphone for 800$!! like really? just cause apple stops making it they can just not have updates for the 3g phone that lots of ppl still own??....

Think yourself lucky you've still got a phone that works and has been supported by Apple for as long as it has.
Many Android phones receive no updates whatsoever past the version that comes on the device, or are made obsolete within months of purchase.
Apple has given you many free OS updates and a good couple of years of support. Before you start complaining, you should check what other manufacturers would have given you, if you'd bought their phones.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

HT1338 I just got the iPhone 5. I connect it to my MacBook and iTunes doesn't recognize it. It said to download iTunes 10.7. I downloaded it and it won't download because it says I need iOS 10.6.8. I downloaded that but it says I need 10.6 to download

I just got the iPhone 5. When I connect it to itunes it says I need itunes 10.7. I downloaded that but it won't update because I need iOS 10.6.8. I downloaded iOS 10.6.8 but it says it won't download it becuase I need iOS 10.6. However, when I do software update it says all my systems are up to date and that 10.6 on itunes is the current version and iOS 10.5 is the current version. Please help.

Phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

i just got the iphone 4 and my husband already had on. we share an itunes account and i signed up for i cloud and now ALL of my husbands contacts are on my phone ... so I started to delete them (because i thought it would just be off my phone) and he called screaming ..." please stop deleting ... they are coming off my phone!" so two things ... how can i get the contacts back ( i got up to j) AND is there a way to get them off just my phone

Unfortunately there's no way to get back the contacts you deleted unless he backed them up somewhere else. He'll just have to recreate them. This happened because you are both syncing contacts with a shared iCloud account. When you do this, the synced data is merged and any actions you take on one phone (such as deleting contacts) is also reflected on the other. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). To do this, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on your phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to your new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

I just got the iPhone 5s about a month ago, i decided to turn it off because some of the apps weren't working right, and now it will not turn back on. It says i need to plug it in to iTunes, but my iTunes will not recognize my phone. What do i do?

I just got the iPhone 5s the Friday it came out. So today i decided to turn it off because some of the apps are not working. Now that i turned it off, it will not let me turn my phone back on until i plug it into iTunes. But i have and now its saying that until my iPhone is restored i can not plug it into iTunes. I already have . alot of stuff such as picture and contacts that i do not want to lose. What is going on and what can i do? This is honestly the most frusterating thing about IPHONEs. PLEASE HELP, I CAN'T HANDLE MUCH MORE. This should not be happening. I did NOT pay 300$ for this to happen in a less than a month of coming out.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

When is the iphone 5s coming out? Is it this year 2013 or next year 2014 because I was thinking should I just get the iphone 5 or wait.

When is the iphone 5s coming out? This year or next year because I was thinking should I just get the iphone 5 or wait.

Since iOS 7 is due to be released in the fall I would say you would see a new iPhone at the same time.

I have just got an iPhone 5s and want to restore it to my iPhone 4 settings. Because the iPhone 4 had the new iOS 8.1 and the iPhone 5 doesn't, it won't restore. What do I do?

I Want to restore my iPhone 5s to my old iPhone 4 settings but because the iPhone 4 had ios8.1 and the iPhone 5 only has iOS7, I can't. What do I do?

AAre you sure it's an iPhone 4, the highest iOS is 7, but a 4s can be on ios 8. Update the iOS on the 5, then restore it using your 4 backup

ITunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected windows 7

I have been backing up and syncing my iPhone 4s through Windows 7 for the past 2 years. I am running iOS 8.1 on the iPhone and recently downloaded iTunes version 12.0.1.26. I can no longer sync my contacts or backup the phone and get the following error:
iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have tried plugging directly into the laptop, not the Sony laptop hub
I have deleted all previous backups on the laptop
I have restored the the iPhone
I previously spent hours with Apple Support because the iPhone would not sync with the previous version of iTunes.
HELP!

I may have a work around/solution.
I had this problem when on iOS 8 beta 5. Now again on 8.1. I have found a repeatable fix, however it does require part of a working backup of your device. Not sure if it works with any device of the same type, but it does with the part from your own. Anyway:
Locate your current backup within Finder/windows explorer.
Go into the device backup folder (will be titled the UDID of your device) and cut the info.plist, manifest.mbdb, manifest.plist and status.plist files, and paste them somewhere else for storage just in case.
Now you need those same 4 files from a working backup of your device. Paste them into the backup folder where you just removed the others from.
Restart your computer and device.
Plug in and try backup. You'll notice the date of last backup on the summary page will say the date of the backup in which you took the 4 files, as this info must be in one of the files.
Often this allows a backup to complete successfully for me.
Unsure if all steps are required (such as restarts, and if all 4 files are needed or just one is the key), but it seems to work reasonably frequently like this when having this problem.
I have kept a working copy of those files for use whenever this happens.
I also keep a backup on another computer/hard drive in case this ever fails.
Sometimes this isn't necessary, and you can just change the name of the current failing backup folder so that it creates a whole new one, but often this fails for me still. Also you may need lots of extra space available if you have large backups.
Hope this helps someone

Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone 4S" cannot be viewed because the iPhone is locked with a passcode

Having just updated to the latest system 6.0 (10A403) Everytime when I connect my Iphone to my Mac and open iphoto with the phone connected, a warning window keeps popping up. Showing "Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone 4S" cannot be viewed or imported because the iPhone is locked with a passcode."
But it is not locked. The rest of the synch in iTunes seems to work fine but iPhoto says that there are no photos for importing, when thjere are many. Any assistance most appreciated. thanks

Reenable the password and then disable it. The message should no longer appear.

Itunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

Just went to sync my iphone today and got this message:
iTunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the iphone disconnected.
Any ideas what the problem might be. Had not had this happen to me before.
Can't be iCloud because the only thing I use that for is Find My Mac.
Restarted iTunes as well - still get the warning notice.
Any ideas?

I have the same issue - it just started happening. Any suggestions out there??

ITunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

Started getting an error message during iPhone synch about two weeks ago: "iTunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected"
- Am synching to my Outlook calendar on a system running Windows 7
- Everything else (contacts, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) synchs just fine
- Tried totally resetting the iPhone and restoring the firmware
- Tried deleting the backups, preferences and resetting synch history
- Tried forcing a rewrite/replacement of the calendar database using iTunes
Nothing sems to work...still get the same message about not synching the calendar due to the iPhone disconnecting, but of course, it really hasn't disconnected since I can get it to immediately synch anything else.
Any ideas out there? Thanks...

Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

ITunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

error message
iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have spoken to Apple a couple of times in the last week (approx 2hr) apple support said it could be a Microsoft issue I have spoken to Microsoft and read endless information from the net and it seems that Microsoft is not the issue.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, reset all settings in Settings\General on the phone, reset sync history on the iPhone, upgraded microsoft office 2003 to 2007 and I am still getting the error message.
I have a iPhone 3G, pc is running windows 7 and just upgraded to microsoft office Home and Student 2007 and Office Outlook 2007.
iTunes version 11.0.2.26
iPhone iOS 6.1.3
I have the same error on my wife's iPhone as well.
Any help would be great.

I have a G4 and just bought the iPhone 4 and cant get my music on my phone

I have a G4 with OSX 10.4.11 and just bought the iPhone 4 and cant get my music on my phone because apparently I need to upgrade to itunes 10 but cant because it only works with OSX 10.5. So basically im forced into another upgrade is that what i have to do?

this isn't something thats hidden its listed right in the minimum specifications on the box and on the apple website if this is a problem for you you should have read it

Just because the iphone 3g is no longer sold, doesnt mean people still dont own it.
