New iPhone 3GS cannot utilize Genius

I recently got a new 32gb iphone 3gs. I have updated my iTunes library, and made sure that genius was all set up and working correctly - I actually just now updated genius again, and it is able to generate playlists just fine in iTunes.
However, when I try to use genius on ANY song on my iPhone, it tells me there are not enough related songs to generate a playlist. I have over 5,000 songs on my iPhone. I have a hard time believing that there aren't enough related songs, especially since my 32gb ipod touch was able to do it just fine.
Are there any tricks to getting Genius to work on a new 32gb 3GS? Am I doing something wrong?

Does it say this for any song you attempt to create a genius list for...or just certain songs??

  • How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

    4/26/2011
    Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty  replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished  one that I got as a replacement.
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
    Thanks Again!

  • New iPhone 3GS with iOS 5 creating a problem with white screen

    Hi There,
    I purchased a new iPhone 3GS from iStore in India on 27th Dec 2011 and got a problem saying phone was getting restated automatically. Later got a new device replaced by Apple and now it started a new issue from the day one, with a temporary white screen of death.
    It happen, whenever   the phone is kept on stand by for a longtime, mostly in nights. Further after receiving a call/text kept the phone idle and by the next call come phone turns white and to get rid of it need to press power button once and then press the home button.In the white screen mode touch is not responsive.
    Please let me know what can i do. Tried restoring device from back up, via itune... everything is done. but not getting a solution.
    Is it the problem of iOS5.
    Any help... please suggest.
    Thanks
    Venkat

    Hi everyone, my Iphone 3gs cannot display the screen item once you lock it and and you wanna unlock it back.

    Since you are still under Warranty, make appointment with Apple Genius and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of those problems.

  • If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?

    I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?

    Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

  • IPhone 3GS cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39).

    My iPhone 3GS won't sync.  I get an error message in Step 5 of 5 when it's trying to delete photos.  The message says "The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39)."
    How do I fix this?  Is there anyone out there who can please help?

    Try restarting your phone and computer, use a different USB cord, use a different usb port on your computer.  Try these to see if any of them help.  Good luck!

    Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

  • NEW IPHONE 3GS DOES NOT START

    I just got my new iphone 3gs yesterday and have not even had the time to have a nice look at it coz it just does not start.
    When I put the phone to charge the apple logo appears and after that just the sign of USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) appears and phone stops. I had it charged for more than four hours but I don’t see the battery charging status icon anywhere.
    When I press the ON switch on the top the same thing repeats itself meaning it gets stuck in the USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) sign. Totally confused and frustrated. Kindly assist. Lastly as i am new to the apple brand could anyone guide me towards the Software for the IPHONE 3GS i require to install on my desktop in order to sync,email etc.thanks for the advises in advance

    Obviously it's telling you that you need to connect your iphone to your itunes to activate it, otherwise it won't work.
    Firstly download itunes, under Downloads. then install then plug in your iphone, and follow the instructions to activate it. Then you should be set and start using the phone.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

    This calibrates the battery indicator, not the battery. There is no battery calibration with a lithium-ion or lithium based battery.
    Copied from this link.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    I'm not sure why Apple includes charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down as one charge cycle, which is not the definition of a full charge and discharge cycle with a lithium-ion or lithium based battery. A full charge and discharge cycle can include running the battery from 100% to 50% followed by fully charging the battery and repeating this the next day.

  • What would be better a new iPhone 3gs or a used iPhone 4?

    what would be better a new iPhone 3gs or a used iPhone 4? The iphone would be 2yrs old and belonged to my sister. I am weighing my iphone options, help!

    I'm sorry I should have been more specific with the situation. I currently own an iPhone 3gs which is still under warranty, I am going to get a new one because I am having some issues with the phone. However, my sister offered me her old Iphone 4 if i want it. Now I am not sure whether I should take her 2 year old iphone 4 or just keep the 3gs I get from the apple store...???

  • Camera on new iPhone 3GS does not work

    My husband got a brand new iPhone 3GS yesterday from the iShop here in Gateway Durban, and the camera does not work at all. You can see through the lense, but non of the touchscreen controls work (ie access to camera roll, take picture, swap to video.) Am I missing something obvious? This is perculiar, in that it is his second iPhone and I have the iPhone 4 so you would think between us we would be able to figure it out, but it does seen truly STUCK. Any ideas?

    Have you tried to restore the phone?

  • 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 access to 3G network after upgrading to OS 5

    My iPhone 3GS cannot access the 3G network after upgrading to OS5. I have checked with my operator and shows that their 3G network is working fine. Only cannot access through the phone. When I enable 3G, there will be no service for my phone. Wifi is working fine.
    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks, I will try this method. After restore and syn, will it automatically upgrade back to OS5? 
    No. If you have 5.0.1, then you will get 5.0.1 back. Restoring should still fix it though. I would prefer to have you back up to iCloud, because there are many known issues/errors when trying to restore via iTunes on iOS 5 or later.
