My iphone 3gs wont sync!! need help as i really need to sync it asap
A few months ago i think i deleated something I shouldnt have, not my iphone wont sync (not been able to sort it for months so it seriously needs doing), im hoping someone more apple savvy than me can help me sort it.
When i press it to sync it just says 'waiting for sync to start' and then the actual syncing never starts.
someone please help, this is doing my head in.
thanks :-)
Not sure what you deleted but assuming you have windows, you might want to try uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. (You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.) Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

Completely DEAD iPhone 3GS, Data Recovery ?HELP?
I have a iPhone 3GS 16GB, The other day it just went off? tried unplugging it from the mains and plugging it back in again, but nothing happened.
I tried to get it to go into DFU mode, Nothing!
Plugged it into my Desktop PC, Nothing showed in itunes?
I had it tested by a local phone shop and they said they did all the scans/checks and whatnot that they could and the iphone is a complete dud!:(
But i really need the data that is on there?
I have been told that if i take it to an apple store they can do a data retract for me?
What are my options for a complete dead iphone but needing the data on there?Apple does not offer and will not perform any data recovery service.
A simple google search will reveal multiple data recovery services, if you really need such a service and are willing to pay an arm, a leg, and give up your first born child for that data.
If the device has been used as designed, it would have been backed up regularly to iTunes or iCloud.
Simply restore that backup to a new iOS device.
Contacts and calendars should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device should be regularly copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera. -
I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8). The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos Help please - I really need the photos!
The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. -
Iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter password
My iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter my password. the graphics on the phone seem to show the basic framework - ie boxes around the numbers etc.
Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton. How can I make my Iphone work???? I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on. It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it. IT just WONT charge? Any tips I can use to solve the issue?
-EstebanHello estebie67,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Thanks,
Matt M. -

Iphone 3gs wont accept a charge.
My iphone 3gs wont accept a charge at all, not from its original ac adapter, usb or aftermarket ones.Once the phone goes flat and turns itself off it charges back up until it powers up then nothing again. and the small amount of charge it did get only lasts about 1 hour.
I cant do a back up and/or reboot coz the usb doesnt connect either... What do I do?I forgot to mention, this phone is only 8 months old but it's out of warranty coz it was a new warranty replacement for another one that stopped working. I was told this one only got the warranty that was left from the other one??

My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working
My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit
First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware. -

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?
If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point. -
