My iphone 3gs stopped appearing in the sidebar
A week or so ago my iphone 3gs stopped appearing in the itunes (10.7) sidebar when plugged in to my computer. It shows in the itunes fuile menu and when I right click the itunes icon in my task bar. It would still sync from the file menu. Now, itunes has stopped syncing voice memos and because I cannot select sync options without iphone in the sidebar I cannot fix this.
Any help is appreciated.
You could try restoring and staying away from that backup. I've had that happen to me before on my iPhone 4 from a corrupt backup. You could be coincidently mixing the two issues, sounds to me like you got lucky and your phone is A-OK but you may be using a corrupt backup.

I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed? I did select manual manage, and i included voice memos.
But, the memos on the iPhone simply don't appear in iTunes. How can I get the memos from the phone to iTunes?Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID. -

Why is my Iphone 3Gs screen appear to be disintegrating?
Iphone 3Gs screen appears to have burn holes in it and looks like it is disintegrating in a pixelated format. There appears to be a dark rainbowlike hole in the areas affected. There are also small pixelated lines that run though areas of the top and bottom of the screen. We tried turning off the phone for an extended period of time and it seemed to get better but now it the problem has persisted and gotten worse.
Whether this is due to a defect in the display or damage, there's no way to fix it without replacing the display or entire phone.
If the phone is still under warranty or AppleCare, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your area. If out of warranty, Apple can give you an out-of-warranty replacement (refurb) for $199 (in USA).
Another choice is to take it to a 3rd party iPhone repair center which may be able to fix it for a lot less. If you know what you're doing, you can buy a new LCD screen and install it yourself. -
My iPhone 3gs stopped working 2 days before warranty period,But i was unable to contact apple immediately as no apple store is available near my place,Now i need to replace my iphone..How can i get it?
Pay for an out of Warranty replacement.
It was your decision to not contact Apple before the warranty period expired. -
my iphone 3gs is charging on the wall charger but wont charge on the pc, have cleaned it, yet it can sync and update with itunes easily, but it still wont charge, have tried several cables as well same effect.
1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it. -

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #
In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.

I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right???? -
after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks

My iphone 3gs wont connect to the internet unless on wifi, can you help?
i bought an iphone 3gs yesterday and on the whole everything is going well so far, however i can only use the internet on my phone if im connected to wifi, which limits me to only being able to use it at home or free wifi in resturants etc and i would like to be able to use it anywhere, surely i can? any suggestions?
Settings>General>Resets>Reset Network Settings.
If that doesn't fix it, contact your carrier and find out if there is a problem in your area.
If not, then try a hard re-set (hold power and home together until you see the Apple logo).
If that doesn't work, restore.
If that doesn't work, restore as new.
If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the genius bar. -
How do I get my iphones playlist to reappear on the sidebar of itunes? When I plug my iphone into the computer my iphoto pops up but not my itunes???
As you didn't say what kind of computer, what operating system, or what version of iTunes it is very hard to give any meaningful advice. You might start with these:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
