No apps on my iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 5.0

I can't get my apps from my computer to my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to 5.0.
Do I have to DL all my apps again from the app store?

I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work. The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

I can,t activate iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2

I can,t activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2.Now what i can do

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
It says,

Thanks for your help in advance!

There are several common causes for this problem:
Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier. The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

Problems on iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2., Problems on iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2.

Hello all,
Some urgent help needed on the 3 problems listed on priority basis, as follows.
P1 -> I upgraded to IOS6.1.2 on my iPhone 3GS last week and all worked fine for 2 days. Then, last Thursday (21st February) evening, the mail app started crashing and is currntly unusable. All efforts to Restart/Reset, have failed.
P2 -> With the SMS app, there is no sound/vibrate available, whenever a message comes in. Pretty annoying!
P3 -> There is extremely heavy battery drain, resulting in the phone having to be charged atleast 4-5 times a day.
On the upside, after the upgrade, the phone works really fast.
Could any of the gurus over her, offer any help or insights please?
Thanks & Regards,
sworld

No service in Iphone 3GS after upgrading to 6.0.1

Hi,
I have an Iphone 3GS with IOS version 4.1. Last saturday I upgraded it to IOS 6.0.1 and since then I get No service and Searching messages.
I tried my SIM card in a different Iphone and it worked fine. I tried another working SIM card in my Iphone, and it also got No Service or Searching.
I tried restoring, but still no luck.
My phone worked fine till this upgrade, for both calls and internet connection.
Any suggestion on how to proceed?
Please techies, these devices should have a way to go back to a previosu version of the software which ws working fine.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

It is obvious that I did not make myself clear in my first message.
The problem is with the phone after doing an upgrade, It is an Apple issue, that is why I am posting it in this forum.
Once more, "I tried my SIM card in a different Iphone and it worked fine. I tried another working SIM card in my Iphone, and it also got No Service or Searching." There is nothing wrong with the SIM card, it works fine, in fact I have it running in another phone till I sort out this issue.
The upgrade does not depend on Movistar or any other carrier, and this problem is happening worldwide.
I am afraid that you are misleading the problem.

Reception problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

AFter upgrading to 4.2.1, my 3GS iPhone is experiencing bad signal, bad quality and frequent disconnections.
This was repeated even after my provider replaced my device to a different 3GS device, running 4.2.1.
inserting my SIM card to a NOKIA phone, showed strong signal and good reception.
Did anyone experience reception problems on 3GS running 4.2.1??
Thanks,

How I fixed my crashing iPhone 3Gs after upgrading to iOS 4x

My experience...iPhone 3Gs, working fine until I upgraded to the iOS 4. I have two wi-fi zones that I use, 1 at home, 1 at work. Home is DHCP pushing out an IP address, at work manually IP address. All this changed after upgrade and crashed durning calls at home and work. Then it got worse and started crashing/rebooting once a day. I rang Apple support and, as advised, in iTunes restored my iPhone and set it up as a New Phone. Ok for a day but it got worse than ever, so I tried the following: worked for 3 days with 3Gs only, wi-fi off...no crashing, worked for three days wi-fi only, 3Gs off...no crashing. Then put both back on again, back to square one, crashing. I tried one more thing. I entered Settings, General, Reset and Reset all Settings. That was 10 days ago, no more crashing at all. Now I had to setup all my seting again, but it was worth it...I love my iPhone again! Try it...

Did you check your security software settings? eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

I cann't open App Store in iPhone 4 after upgrade to iOS 6, could you please help me !

Hi, could you please help me to solve my problem ?
After upgrading to iOS 6 , sometimes I cann't access to App Store on my iPhone 4 ?

I had this too when I updated to iOS 6 today. Solved it by doing a restore to factory conditions followed by a restore to my last backup. Now its idling around 45% CPU and is back to its snappy performance.

Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.
