New iPhone OS renders 3GS inoperable and unusable
Beware of upgrading your 3GS to a newer version of OS. I purchased a newer 3GS phone in April 2010 and now it has been rendered simply worthless and unusable. I spoke with Apple support who simply moved me to the very latest OS several weeks ago. The problem of unbelievable slowness and delay in keyboard response and recognition has rendered my 9 month old iPhone unusable. The representatives at the local AT&T store confirmed my worst fears and cringed at my demo of slowness during simple calling and waiting between most menu changes of 3 to 5 seconds and more. My coverage with AT&T in my marketplace is marginal and this phone issues has simply broken my loyalty with AT&T. I placed my order for a new plan and number change to Verizon with a Droid Phone. I really think this problem has been brushed under the rug by Apple and it will cost them many converts to phones that look and operate as simply as their iPhone products. Buyer Beware.

Not on my iPhone. My 3gs is better in every way on 4.2.1 than on any previous version.

Hi
I have a new powerbook and want to give my girlfriend my old G4 power book, she has a new iphone 5s, and wants to create a new itunes/apple id. When i try to de authorize the G4 and sign in with her new apple ID it says bad password, how can i release the G4 from my cluster of authorized apples and make her the owner so she can download music and more importantly sync her music with her phone, she only has 3 songs on her iphone, and loaded all her CD's into the g4 but cant sync, im no dummy and this shouldnt be hard, but its driving me crazy!!!!!!
thx u so much for your time heeeellppppp.Perhaps, as we have the same music tastes, for now i should just authorize her phone to my power book just to sync music, not pics, contacts etc? I'd hate to overright her contacts etc lol????

Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you
Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones. -

MMy new iPhone 5 just blacked out and won't come on. Does anyone know if I will have an issue getting a new phone from Verizon.? I can't even call because I don't have a phone!
Ebony,
Let's see if we can't get this phone working for you! What exactly is happening with the device? Is the screen just out and you can hear that it will still ring, or is the phone completely dead? Please elaborate more on what you are experiencing.

New iPhone restore from old backup and lost new photos
Hi there
I recently got a iphone 5 and from the excitement of seeing Obama in cape town, took pictures of his speech and even recorded my friends shaking his hand and have brief converstaions. Now when i connected the new phone into my mac, itunes requested a restore from old backup. So agreed, not knowing that all the new photos / movies of the US president would be deleted!!!
Can i reftieve them or not. and why doenst Apple provide such informaition to users for new restorations?
Please help!eh2756 wrote:
Same problem. My wife lost her iPhone 3Gs while on vacation. Purchased iPhone 5 on the trip and took pictures with it. When we got back home I clicked restore from a previous backup and all the pictures disappeared.
I wonder if Apple is reading this thread. ?????????
NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera.. -
I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I just bought 2 new iPhone 4 one for and my husband. I want to sync them on the same computer without it runing my sisters already syned 3s. When tried syning my old and i mean very old iPhone's contacts it said i could only merge them with my sister contacts and now i have her contacts on my phone and it sent my all her un needed apps as well. I want to be able to sync but not have her things placed in my phone or have anything erased from hers either. Can anyone help me?
By far the simplest way to do this is create separate accounts on the computer for each person. That way, you each log into your own separate account, sync your own device(s) to your own contacts/calendars/apps/music and so forth.
