    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • IPhone 3GS after updating Ios 6.1.3 cannot be activated

    iPhone 3GS after updating Ios 6.1.3 cannot be activated. When I connected my iPhone to iTunes on PC, iTunes said that there was no SIM card on iPhone. I also took out the SIM Card and took in the SIM Card, but it wasn't working. I activated iPhone through WIFI but it said that the server was temporarily not available. I tried again more and more times but nothing's changed. Please help me.

  • On my iphone 3gs, i cannot update my apps; i get the message that my apple id has been disabled

    i cannot update my apps nor get new apps on my iphone 3gs. i get the message that my apple id has been disabled.

    You could always try getting in contact with iTunes Support via expresslane.apple.com to see if they can look into your account and see why it is disabled.

    That's because it was jailbroken, either now or in the past.  We cannot provide support for jailbroken phones here.

  • Cannot update applications via iphone

    I have had my iPhone 3gs 16gb for about two weeks. The day I got it I updated to 3.1.2 software. Since then some apps will update and some won't. Currently I am trying to update Recorder. I get the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I have tried to update the application with wifi at home and at work. I have turned off the wifi and tried updating the app with 3g network and I have tried it with the 3g network and wifi turned off using only the Edge network. All attempts have resulted in the same message. I also tried restarting the phone. Then I tried resetting the network settings.
    I can connect to the iTunes store and download music without any problems. I can delete the application and re download it from the app store, but when I did this it did not recognize that I already own the app and I was charged for the application that I already owned. I am able to update the applications through iTunes on my laptop, then sync to get the application updated that way. This does not address the issue that I cannot update applications through my phone though.
    If anyone has any thoughts please let me know. Thank you for the help.

    We have had that issue on my wife's phone, but like you said its not really a big deal. Just enter the correct password for the login. This is not the case with my phone though. It does not prompt for any other account. It just gives the error message. I've had iPhones for a couple of years now and 99% of the apps we share were bought through my account since my wife has only had hers for a couple of weeks. The apps I've had the problem with so far were bought through my account. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck so far. The first time I noticed this I updated about 6 apps at once and only one of them gave me this issue. That was Gym Buddy. I deleted it from my phone and re-downloaded it, but instead of notifying me that I already owned the app and it was free to download, it charged me for it as if it were a new purchase. The next app I experienced this with was the Recorder app. I downloaded the update via iTunes and synced my phone to install the update. I haven't had any other updates yet but I'll let you know if I have any other problems and what app it is. Again, if anyone else has had this issue and found a solution, please let me know. Thanks.

  • Ou cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software?

    I have apple 3gs 16 gb ios 6.01, when i tried to update software i get error saying, you cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software.
    My software were downloaded by other apple ID from where i had given for repair. Now same software am unable to update due to error.
    how to get rid of this error, tried googling it but seems nobody is able to resolve the same

    You need to delete all Apps installed via that guy's ID, else ask him for his password. Thereafter, log off out of his ID.
    Login with your ID. Install Apps via own ID. That gives you complete ownership.

  • 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

  • Iphone 3GS cannot detect SIM card

    Hi My iphone 3GS cannot detect the SIM card.
    The phone shows full bar for service provider but 3G unable. It cannot receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • I still cannot update my 4S to iOS7 from 6.1.6. The phone says the software is up to date. Any solutions out there?

    Most likely, you have an iPhone 3GS not a 4s.  See this to identify your model:

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.
    PC   Windows XP  

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?
    love, b
