My daughter's iPhone 3GS is still showing my contacts in the messages

When my daughter goes to use my old iPhone 3GS to send a text message, my contacts show up. I have synced and re=synced the phone to her iTunes account and wiped the phone twice. Any ideas?

Here's what I'd do, go back to the Apple store, take the phone & computer. Ask the geniuses how to fix this since they replaced the phone. You never know, they may just update the computer for free...its happened before...can't gurantee it will happen for you, but worth a try.
Otherwise, you're looking at purchasing a retail copy of Leopard, however if her computer can handle Snow Leopard you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & install a full copy of SL.

  • IPhone 3GS doesn't show up in iTunes 10.3.1.55

    I just downloaded the new updated iTunes today.  After doing so, my iPhone 3GS doesn't show up on there or my computer. 
    It shows up under devices but not on hardware (on my PC).  Is there a glitch in the new update?  I haven't had any trouble until
    now.  I went through the troubleshooter and did everything it asked and still nothing.  When I first plugged in my phone after the update,
    a window popped up saying something about Windows updating the driver on the device.  I thought drivers and such only came from
    Apple.  Under the pc's tab Devices and Printers, I ran a troubleshooter on the phone and it also said it couldn't identify the problem.
    Everything seems to work ok on the phone, but I can't add any music to the phone or download pics from the phone.  If I reset my phone,
    will I lose my pics I haven't put on my pc yet?  Thanks for any help.

    Don't reset your phone.  Resetting will return the phone to factory settings and you will loose everything.  Spend some time working toward a fix.
    You might want to try a different USB cable.  It is possible that your cable conincedentally went bad.  I have had this problem before - even cables that will chrage the phone sometimes stop working for data purposes.

  • My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do?

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    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, either get a sim card from the carrier your 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.

    1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize?  To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
    2) What are your sequence settings?  Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

    I dropped my iphone 3gs, it still works, i have the applecare protection, my at&t account expires 4/2012. Will I be locked into another year with at&t if I try to get my  phone repaired?

    if you have applecare on your phone, this has nothing to do with your contract with At&t, so no you should be ok.

  • Why does a job still show as running on the server even after it's deleted from Instance Manager?

    Deleting a job in Instance Manager doesn't seem to delete the job on the actual server.  Is there another location where we need to cancel the 'connection' to the database from where it's running?

    I should also note that this only seems to be an issue with music that was purchased through itunes. Once I delete songs purchased through itunes on my iphone 5 they still show up with the cloud and down arrow and I can still play them. I do not want them visible unless I choose to download them.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Is unlocked iphone 3gs a good choice for use in the UK with PAYG?

    I've never had a smartphone. I'm thinking of buying the unlocked iphone 3gs to use when I'm in the UK 2-3 (months a year). I would be using a pay as you go sim with a little data use included. All I need is the ability to call, text, email, blog, and check facebook. Would this phone be a good choice for me. I'm hearing that there are some problems with battery life on the iphone 4. Does the 3gs have those issues? Also what does the 's' stand for?
    Any helpful info apppreciated.

    This is the deal I'm looking at. As you can see it comes with the upated OS. $375. Is already a bit more than I would normally spend on a phone.
