When i sync my iphone 3gs, my itunes hangs up after itunes sync the apps, so i can't pup music on my divice

When i sync my iphone 3gs, my iTunes hangs up after iTunes sync the apps, so i can't put music or videos etc. on my divice...
Why is that so

Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

IMovie09 Hangs when importing 3 minute .MOV recorded from iPhone 3GS,

Hi All,
Ok, so I have had a quick search to solve this but had no luck, and I am a Mac newbie, so please be gentle
Here is my problem - I recorded one of my kids singing a song with my iPhone, sync'd this up with iTunes, converted it to iPod compatible within iTunes (for the iPod video to be able to chew it).
Now, we have an xmas idea for the grandparents, that we can get both kids singing songs, video them and give the grandparents a dvd for xmas
Hurdle 1: When I try to import the .MOV or the converted for iPod Video friendly version into iMovies, I get the beachball/hourglass.. The video that I'm trying to import is 3.4 mins in length - I tried several times, and this morning left it running when I left for work, so it has had 13 hours of processing and no joy, so I have had to force app to exit again... (Hey, I though macs just 'worked', what's this ctrl-alt-del stuff :P )
This is the first time I have loaded iMovie and I have tried logging in with a new account too in case something has got mashed with my main account.
The mac is 3 months old and I am still finding out what apps it has
Thanks for any help / pointers My backup plan (already working) is to continue on my windows PC, as that seems to quite happily play with the .MOV file etc, but I would rather use the mac as it should be better geared for this stuff But tbh I am struggling already to get the mac to do it's thing - I thought iphone -> mac would just 'work'
Oh..I have installed nothing else on the mac apart from snow leopard & configured email accounts and the iMac came with iLife 09 installed.
ty in advance
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I didn't have iPhoto launching when i connected my iPhone, but I've launched it manually now.
This time, in iMovie, I have 48 images appearing in 'iPhoto videos' under the event section of iMovie.
Is this the correct behaviour ? Or should I only see one image to represent the video (Asking because if I have 3-4 movies on the iphone, I will have a lot of thumbnail images in the event window I think.
Just for the sake of it, I tried importing the video again ( to see if things worked after using iPhoto), and iMovie still beachballs, but if I can use the iPhoto method that is fine, although it seems odd behaviour to be presented with 48 'images' of the same movie.
Would I need to run everything through iPhoto before it appears in iMovie ? I'm guessing that the import movie selection doesnt work..
Thanks for replying, and feel free to point out any newbie basics that I am misunderstanding

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

My iphone 4 keeps switching songs, playing and pausing by itself especially when I use my headphones

Ever since I installed the iOS 7.1 update, my iPhone 4 keeps playing, pausing, switching to the next song, fast forwarding by itself. Especially when I use my headphones. It's getting really frustrating because not only is it when I listen to the music player, but also on youtube videos and then it pause the video and then play the music from the music player or it would pause music on soundcloud by itself too. This mostly happens when I use my headphones but when I don't use my headphones I don't see it happening.
A friend called me and I was using my headphones and the conversation kept getting hanged up by itself it wasn't until I stopped using the headphones that I could have a normal converstation, but I only talked for less than a minute without the headphones so it wasn't enough to tell me that it is the headphones that is the problem. So is it my phone or my headphones? Is this a software problem because of the update because my headphones were not doing this before, HOW CAN I MAKE THIS STOP. (This has been happening for almost a week now)
BTW: I also noticed that if I am listening to music on the music player or youtube and its in my pocket or hand and Im jumping to the song or shaking (lol) the songs pause and plays then switches to the next song aaaaurrrrrruuuuuuuggggggghrrrrrghhhhhhh WHATS GOING ON

Hello alplease,
It sounds like your touch screen is acting erratically and seems to be exacerbated when you have your earphones in. I recommend the information in the following article named:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
You can also try closing all the open apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:

Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
Please help.

They are scaled down.

I am frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues, while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode

Hi,
Greetings !!!
I would like to know what is the root cause of Iphone camera hanging ?
I am very frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues like while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode with full of pink & black line.
I noticed while camera app turns ON the phone going to hand.
I went to apple services server with this problem & they said they didn't see any errors.
Kindly response with my request, and provide me the solution.
Thannks & regards,

That often happens with cameras when you take pictures of a computer screen. LCD screens "flicker" and the camera will often catch the flicker.

My iPhone 4S hangs (gets stuck or unresponsive) when deleting photos from the camera roll or use Messages app

I am now on my third replacement phone from Apple because of this issue. My iPhone 4S frequently hangs (gets stuck), without response, when I click on the trash icon to delete a photo, for about 20-30 seconds before becoming responsive again. I notice that this problem of freezing happens also when I use my Messages app for texts. There is no crash that occurs because the app responds after hanging for some time, therefore does not create a crash report to be sent to Apple. I never had this problem on my iPhone 4, and truly regret upgrading to the new device. I bought this phone for the faster processor, however I ended up with a device that is much slower and unresponsive. At the instruction of the multiple geniuses at the Apple store, I've restored the phone numerous times and set it up as a new device to no avail, and have lost app data every time. I've had three different phones now, and the genius cannot resolve my issue. they've even done what's called a DFU mode restore to restore the device firmware, yet no fix. Is anyone having similar issues? I'm starting to think its a software issue, although the apple store kept replacing my phone with a "remanufactured phone" even though I was within the 30 day return period. When I asked to get a new phone from the box, they told me it couldn't be done since I had my device replaced with a repair model already.

I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function.

My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour

My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour, I took it in to an apple retail store at the end of 2010 and they told me it was fine but advised I restore and set up as a new iPhone which I did, it got better for about a month then went back to normal losing battery. I have no hardware coverage left and my specs are: iPhone 3GS 16gb IOS 4.3.3 white. I have had it since December 2009.

I'm afraid I don't. I don't know if the phone is still within warranty. I don't know which country you are in. I don't know what third party repair companies charge where you are.
Hang on - I do know one thing: if your phone is still covered by warranty - it's free!

Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet

Hello,
Can anyone please help me my Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet, especially when i go on to google. When i am on the internet browsing my phone screen just goes blank then i need to turn my phone back on.
This happens all the time and it gets so bad that the internet doesn't turn on and turns its self straight off.
Thanks

You need to go through the basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide:
Restart phone
Reset phone (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
BTW, are you really still using long obsolete iOS 3.0 as your profile states?
Is your phone jb or hacked? In that case, SOL.

Iphone 3GS 16GB hang/freez very often

Dear all,
I bought an Iphone 3GS 16GB around 2 months ago and I've used it everyday. The Iphone is hang/freeze very often, when it happens I follow the advice which I searched on apple.com: turn off and turn on the Iphone, after that, it's fine but it still happens very often so I tried to restore the firmware from Apple (use Itunes for restoring), I hope it's fine but now it still exists but the time is not very often.
Please advise whether my issue come from Iphone hardware or not.
Thank you very much!

I've had the same issue since day 1 of getting the 3GS. I had the original iPhone and it worked flawlessly but the 3GS is a PoS. It won't sync with Windows 7, it hangs or freezes constantly. I am very disappointed. My next phone will be an Android OS

My iPhone 4 gets hang frequently.....

my iPhone 4 gets hang frequently. for example i am using an application and after couple of secs, i would not be able to exit from this application by pressing home button even after multiple times. some times in lock mode when i press home button to unlock it doesn't show anything where as pressing lock key i am able to unlock. now after unlocking them moment i would open any of the application, it would not allow me to close this app and open any other app although i can operate exisitng opened app but can not close this.
I have already resetted my iPhone with iCloud back but proble still persist.

Hardware error. Remain calm. Take it back.
I had the same thing with my iPod Touch or my iPad (I don't remember which). One day I fired it up and it randomly opened apps and typed stuff. I tried a restart with no success. So turned it off, sat down, logged on to apple.com, set up a genius appointment for that night or the next, took in, showed it to the guy, he said, "hmm, let me get you aother one. Do you have anything saved on this that you need?", got my new one, went home, had some green tea, went to bed.

Iphone hangs when incoming call

each time my phone has an incoming call, the phone hangs. I cannot slide to answer the phone. What happens?

Hello Recently, I started experiencing problems with my iPhone 4. Sometimes, but more and more often, I can not move the slide to pick up the phone. and this is not a problem the screen, as in any other application, the screen is perfectly responsive to clicks.
and it became yet worse now - slide is moved but raising of tube does not take place. such problem I sometimes notice for the users of not dear android telephones, but I did not buy a telephone after 600$ in order that to test the same problems. when this situation happens - I look as a blockhead nervously trying to heave up a tube. more frequent than all it does not turn out and I have to ring up a subscriber.
