Not all of my iPhone 3GS iOS 6.0 apps will sync to iTunes
Hi There,
I apologise if this is a repeat, I tried searching on google and in here before posting.
In expansion to the subject, I recently had to wipe my PC and have been rebuilding my iTunes playlists, etc. I have also tried to sync my phone. This would download my movies and apps, etc to the PC. Unfortunately, one of my favourite apps is not syncing from my phone to iTunes even when I right-click -> Transfer purchases. I tried dragging and dropping, copying and pasting and no go.
It seems like a simple problem but the funny thing is, it copied most if not all of my other apps perfectly fine when I first plugged it in. Now it wants me to apply new settings to my phone and then tells me this app will be deleted, Continue? Heck NO!
I would be ever so grateful if any of you have a good idea besides jailbreaking my phone.
Thanks
Mike
Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
Any other suggestion?
Pls help

IPhone 3GS/IOS 6.1.6/Yosemite 10.10/iTunes 12.0.1.26 will not update or install apps
I have an iPhone 3GS/IOS 6.1.6/iMac Yosemite 10.10/iTunes 12.0.1.26. I have always synced it with my 27 inch iMac with no problems.
I recently attempted to install the apps "The Economist Expresso" and "Disconnect."
I do NOT have (and have never had installed) the Wall Street Journal app.
I do have a 4 digit passcode set.
I do have Apples 2-factor authentication enabled.
When downloaded by iTunes they show up in an iPhone window and are labeled "will install".
I then click sync.
The sync process begins and they "immediately" disappear from the iPhone windows and revert back to "install" in the list of apps.
They have not installed and no error or any other message of any kind has been displayed.
I suspect that this all began happening when I enabled the two factor authentication -- the iPhone is the primary location to receive the authorization code, and it has worked. It may also have begun happening when I upgraded to Yosemite. I simply noticed that when syncing my iPhone, which I tend to do weekly by USB cable, not WiFi or iCloud; that the amount of free space simply kept growing.
Today, I finally gave in and reset the iPhone, and then restored from a backup.
Now I find that apps which I had been using daily, such as AP Mobile, were not restored, but also play this -- will install, then vanish -- game.
This is clearly something which Apple has done to attempt to force me to purchase a new iPhone 6, but until now I have had no problem with my 3GS for what I use it for. This total lack of error messages will cause me to replace my 3GS with a non-Apple product as there is clearly no reason to stick with Apple.
And yes, for me COST is a very big deal.iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support

Ok, so I downloaded OS 5 to my iPhone 3GS about a week ago and I was trying to figure out iCloud, but then I realized my computer, an older MacBook, is only running 10.6.8 so it can't work with iCloud. So I've deactivated most of the syncing options for iCloud on my phone, but now when I sync my phone with my computer the events from my iCal, 4.0.4, sync to my phone, but the events on my phone will not show up in my iCal.
I've had the same basic problem ever since I purchased the iPhone 4 and enabled iCloud. If I create an event on the phone the event does not show up in iCal, but if I create an event in iCal it shows up on the phone. I have looked at several other threads and it seems I have all the calendar options correctly selected in the settings under calendar and iCloud. What's just as strange is that if I delete the event on my phone that I created in iCal it remains in iCal. I don't use mobileme so I know that isn't part of the problem. Should I turn off calendars in the iCloud settings menu on the phone? Is there another sync menu I dont know about on the phone or within iCal?

Updated iPhone to iOS 7, now can't sync to itunes
I removed most of the music from my iPhone 4s to free up space for the iOS 7 update. Now my old PC, which doesn't have an Internet connection but contains my entire iTunes library, won't recognize my iPhone. It says I must have newer version of iTunes, but without Internet access, I CAN'T update iTunes. Any ideas how I can get my music from my old version of iTunes to my updated iPhone?

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. -
IPhone 3GS (iOS 5) will not sync, stuck on *backing up* in iTunes 10.6.3.25
I recently updated iTunes to the latest update for Windows, since then, whenever I connect my phone and try to sync it just gets stuck in *backing up* for ages.. if I leave it it will be in backing up for hours. I cannot sync my phone or add any content now. I've been told to try and click the *X* in the progress window at the top of iTunes - but doing this does nothing but freeze iTunes for a few minutes - then it continues to *back up*... frustrating. Can anyone help?
Ta very much,
Chrissi
Windows 7 Home Premium, iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1.1) and iTunes 10.6.3.25
I am also having this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076906?tstart=0 Could they be related?

Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I have iphone 3gs ios 6.1.3 .. I have a problem I can not look contact profile and save it. I already sync with outlook and windows books also can not be seen. I tried to add a contact on the contact menu, but the result like restart ... (but not restart the device, not just stored). I am confused about this issue ... please help ..
thank you in advance.Your suggestion worked perfectly. I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked. I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting. Thank you so much.

The application "Notes" on my IPhone 3GS (IOS 6.0.1) is synchronized with a homonymous application of my e-mail yahoo box. Please how to solve it ?
Nothing to solve that is normal behavior. You can also sync it with icloud (settings icloud and turn notes on, settings mail contacts calendars yahoo mail account turn notes off.) Other email providers support notes sync as well, but right now your default is yahoo.

I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7. The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?
The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date. Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return. -
Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse anything I may say that sounds a bit stupid but I am not very technically minded.
I have got an iPhone 3gs ios version 4.1. The phone was locked to Vodafone and I asked them to unlock it which they did. I connected the phone to iTunes and it said congratulations your phone is now unlocked. My new Tesco sim card was accepted and the phone works fine. I have tried to download some apps but they all seem to need a higher version of the ios. iTunes says there is an update for my phone ios version 6. I need to know if I update my phone to this version will my phone still be unlocked and also will the phone continue to work properley. Hope someone can help.
Thanks DaveBHappy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive pressed ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help! i need my phone for work not had it too long and really annoyed lol thanks,
Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:

i unplugged my iphone 3gs ios 5.1.1 and started playing..i played for about 2 hours,BUT the battery didnt change!!!...after about 4 hours,the phone suddenly shuts down...i recalebrated the battery (by hard reset)..but didnt help...so HELPPP PLZZZ!!!!!!!..+ when i charge my iphone, i dont see the lightning bolt,instead, i see a plug icon...i know this means th@ battery is full, but my battery is no where near full!!!!!
Just a quick update with a couple more details before I go to work:
I left my phone plugged into the wall charger all night long but the Apple logo is still blinking on and off. However, when unplugged from the charger, the screen goes blank and the unit does not respond to pressing/holding the buttons at all. Likewise, flipping the mute switch does not cause the phone to vibrate as it normally would, which made me wonder if power was being disrupted somewhere else in the unit before the battery. I just finished disassembling the unit down to the battery, looked for any loose connections etc., and did spot a suspicious looking spot on top of the #5 ribbon connector that I had not taken notice of before in my first disassembly. I'll take a picture of it and post a link for your consideration later on today when I have a spare moment, although I fear the worst. -
My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on 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.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
