Music on my iPhone 3gs wont play after I updated to 5.0 software today

I did the update it offered in itunes when i connected my iphone 3gs today, all went well. Now I see my music but I cant hear it, its not highlighted so that when I click a song it can play. Anyone have any idea whats up?

Check this and see if you have your music there. Or check wherever you have you rmusic stored.
I've never heard of an iOS device update that deleted the music in iTunes.

My iphone 3gs wont activate after updating to ios 5

ive updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 but now itunes wont activate my phone and comes up with a messege saying my phone has no sim inserted when it has one (original orange UK sim), what can i do to sort this out

I had the same problem with mine and found out because i bought it second hand and had it unlocked updating it causes it to go back to being locked again. If you've bought it in the same situation then maybe that's the problem, i got it unlocked really cheap too and now its back to normal and all my messges, apps and pics are back.
hope this helps

Iphone 3GS wont activate after update

I tried to update my phone and it came up with an error message, I have since restored to factory settings but now it won't activate.
It just comes up with
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care.
I've tried this several times through wi-fi and i-tunes connections.
It is an iphone 3gs on the orange network, there is a working sim in the phone.
Let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

IPhone 3GS unresponsive/bricked after iOS5 Update

First let me start off by saying that I feel Apple is a SUPERIOR company and 99% of the time have excellent things to say about their products. I will, and in this case have once again, continue to buy their products over any other company. That being said....
I updated my iPhone 3GS on 12 Oct 11. When the process was almost completed I received the message that iTunes was unable to continue with activation at this time. I have called customer support numerous times (Case ID: 252118395) and have gone to the Apple store where I live. No one can seem to figure out what happened with the update or my iPhone. I tried reinstalling the OS over 50 times now and receive the same message. I went three days without a phone before I was forced to buy the 4S model. I am a career soldier waiting to deploy and going that long without a phone was unacceptable. All my 3GS has on the screen now is the gray screen saying "iPhone" and different languages scroll across. The last 4 times I have contacted Apple reference this I sit on hold for about 20 minutes and then it just goes to a ringing sound with no answer. This is absolutely unacceptable and I know Apple is a better company than to just keep giving me answers of, "I don't know what's wrong; keep trying; Give it more time." The Apple store manager at the Colorado Springs store told me it was because iOS5 wasn't compatible with the 3GS model; though your website clearly says it is as I told her. I was also told by an "Apple Genius" at the same store my "best friend" in my case was to "Google" it to see about unlocking the phone and reinstalling iOS 4 but she, "Couldn't really tell me that." Of a side note the complete lack of professionalism and "hey bro" attitude at this store was in stark contrast to the professional atmosphere and service excellence that the late Mr. Jobs fostered. All I want is for my old iPhone 3GS to be restored so at least we can use it for an iPod Touch. I have exhausted all attempts to contact Apple. A prompt response would be greatly appreciated as I know you are a much better run company than this and you give no real e-mail link to help out with such matters. Has anyone else had this issue???

HI All,
My iPhone 3Gs is not detecting any carriers. I have just upgraded to ios 5.
I have tried my SIM in another phone and it is working OK. The phone was unlokced by O2 and I have tried an O2 SIM in it which also does not work.
When I manually search for carriers then none are found.
I'm beginning to think this is a hardware fault.
Any ideas?

Music wont play after OS4 update

Hello People,
I updated my iPod this morning and I just noticed that I no longer have use of the music function. It loads find but closes itself after a few seconds, (4 perhaps?)
Has anyone else experienced this, is there a solution?
Regards,
David.

I resolved the issue,
1. Plug your iPod into your computer / mac
2. Allow the iPod to Sync
*_I did two things here, not sure which fixed the problem_*
3. Play a song on your iPod from your computer / Mac through iTunes.
4. Add a new song.
When I ejected my iPod the problem had gone and I could play music again.
Regards,
David.

Iphone 3GS wont activate after update to 6.1?

I have had my 3gs for about a year now. Has never give me any problems in the past. I updated to the new firmware and have since been unable to activate it. I keep getting messages saying about server being down and try again later? Its locked to Orange and this is what I have always used. Has anyone had this problem? Can I go back to my old firmware?
Thanks

Hi,
Yeah its locked to Orange and thats who I am with. It has never been jailbroken from I have owned it but I am not sure about before. I have updated a few times from I have owned it and hav never had any problems.

IPhone 3Gs: Error (-1) after attemped update to iOS 5

After attempting to update to iOS 5 on my 3Gs, my iphone becomes bricked and enters recovery mode. The update proceeded as normal without issue untill it asked me to for a restore. Now, after every attempt to restore I receive the message: unknown error (-1).
theiphonewiki.com lists error (-1) as:
"Error occurs when one uses the "last ditch" method for preventing baseband updates on the iPhone 4. The baseband does not get updated using this method. Use TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery mode."
My 3Gs is not jailbroken and I am unsure of thrid party software when it comes to my apple devices. Also error (-1) shows to be an error message for the iPhone 4, which is not the case in my situation.
I have attempted these procedures:
Removed the sim card, attempted recovery without sim card (x1): No change.
Reinstalled the sim card, attempted recovery (x1): No change.
Rebooted computer, attempted recovery (x5): No change.
Switched USB ports, attempted recovery (x4): No change.
Attempted recovery on multipule computers (x6): No change.
Reinstalled iTunes, rebooted, attempted recovery (x1): No change
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, has any procedure that I haven't tried worked for you? Any insight or recommendations would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Here's what fixed it for me. Pretty simple mistake I overlooked.
I turned off the firewall that was running in the back ground through my virus protection control panel. I then proceeded to make another attempt and it finished as it should have. I did loose all my settings, pictures and videos although, I still have the 2 notes I made in the Notes app. I would have gladly sacrificed the measurements I took for the gutters on my house for the pictures I took of my nephew the day he was born. This is a wake up call to import my photos more offten and/or before another update. Win some, loose some I guess. At least I can make phone calls now. >.<
I hope this will work for anyone else having the same issues.
Good luck!

HT4527 songs on iPhone will not play after iTunes update

I updated my Itunes software and sync my phone to Itunes and now I am not able to play about 200 songs on my Music app. I tried to resync but still run into the same problem and now those songs are greyed out in my library in Itunes. How can I get my songs back? They still show on my iphone.

I think I figured this out last night..
It looks like iTunes changes the way that tracks are grouped together. I noticed that I would always get the first track on an album, but the rest would be greyed out.
I went into iTunes, selected the entire album, and checked all the boxes around sort grouping rules, but left the contents blank. I could then sync everything for that album.
I've even gone so far as to select my entire library, check all the boxes for sort grouping rules, and now I don't have the problem at all.

HT201407 Iphone 4 wont activate after i0s7 update, please help!!?

Iphone starts up but with 'no service' and it says it cant be activated because the server cannot be reached. What do i do!?

I have the same problem. I have just erased my iPhone 4S after requesting it be unlocked by my carrier. Now I want to restore from backup and the iPhone has a message
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached..."
Maybe its a genuine problem with the activation server???

Typically activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

MY IPHONE 3GS IS SLOW AFTER UPDATE TO 4.3.1 ANY SUGGESTIONS

This HAS to be a software problem because the fine folks at the local apple store (Vancouver) replaced the phone even though it was 35 days out of warranty (they're awesome -- didn't expect that).
No, it doesn't have to be a software issue. If it were, I would expect the millions of other iPhone users, specifically 3GS users running iOS 4 to be experiencing the same problem. They simply are not experiencing the same issue.

4) Just for giggles, I've tried turning 3G off. If I do, I lose ALL service (cellular included)
That would tend to indicate a hardware or network issue, most likely hardware. Have you ruled out the SIM card by replacing it?
Valis Rhode wrote:
As I say, this behavior is identical across both my old phone and its replacement. In fact, for both issues (batttery & call-failed), it's as though the replacement was never made.
Did you restore from your backup? or set up as a new device?
Valis Rhode wrote:
BTW, when I got the new phone, it was loaded with a slightly older version of iOS. At the Apple Store expert's suggestion, I upgrade to iOS 4.3.1 BEFORE i loaded my backup.
Did you try using the device for a day or say as "new" before restoring your backup? It's very likely that the issue is simply a corrupted setting in your backup.

I have been trying to upload more music to my iphone 3gs but whenever i try to even click on the artist or name buttons in itune they dont get highlighted or anything all i can do is play music from my phone through itunes ...

Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!
