Order your iPhone 3Gs - Server Error FIX!
If you are trying to order a iPhone 3Gs (or 3G) and are getting an error:
"We experienced an error in processing your request. Please try again later."
it is probably due to a shared texting feature on your AT&T plan. Go to wireless.att.com, remove it, order your iPhone, select no texting, and then replace the texting plan from AT&T's website.
I just did it and was able to order a 32GB White iPhone. Before, I tried 20 times with no luck.
Thanks to GeorgeS77 earlier post for the info:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2031027&tstart=2
I got this error, and then tried my preorder through the AT&T website:
http://www.wireless.att.com/iphone/
This worked for me and I didn't have to drop my shared text plan and add it back. For whatever reason the AT&T site handles the issue while the Apple one does not.
From what I could tell there is no difference between preordering here vs on the Apple site: both show delivery for June 19.

What do you do if your iphone 3gs displays a thether picture to itunes? It won't change and after going to the manual and following directions, I find it is an error 1002. What does this mean?
Error 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

Hello,
this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: i
tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635)
any ideas? thxI get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes... -

I cant' restore my iPhone 3GS. Error 37. Anyone has any suggestions?
I had a similar issue with my Daughter's 3GS - I tried restoring it with "Restore Mode" and it would not do it. A quick search led me to MacRumors.com where I found an article on restoring your device via DFU Mode. It takes awhile to do it, but it definitely fixed my issue.
Good luck! -
hi there
just update ios to try beta 6 to our test iphone 3gs but we got the message
Impossible to activate your iPhone, activation server temporarily unavailable..
we try several times to activate it but nothing. we have the dev account and also the provis auth. any idea why this could happen ?
thanksAs you are running a beta you must be a developer. You will have to go to the Developer forums for help.
I suspect there is nothing wrong with the activation server; more likely you hacked the phone to get the beta. Now you are stuck. -
How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??
How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??
The only advice we can give is to try and put it into DFU mode and restore. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new phone.
There is a reason that Jailbreaking isn't supported. You have just been kicked in the donkey by it. -

When restoring and updating my iPhone I am getting the following message " iTunes could not update to the carrier settings for your iPhone.an unknown error occurred (1630).can anyone please with a knowledge tell me what I should do please. Thank you
The search bar can be very valuable...........
In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........ -
if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?
What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time. -

HT1414 If you did a back up on your iphone 3gs will the contacts and apps still be on the back up?
If you did a back up on your iphone 3gs will the contacts an apps still be on the back up?
Backup do not contain apps (or any media). As far as your contacts go, Apple isn't crystal clear on this ... they seem to indicate that only your Favorites and recent call history is backed up, not your entire set of contacts. To play it safe, backup or transfer your contacts to your computer in case they do not come back after re-loading your backup. There are apps available that can export/import contacts for you.

List Videos in Alphabetical Order on iPhone 3GS?
I am having trouble with my recently synced videos to my iPhone 3GS - I have synced across a bunch of audio and video files and when I browse the songs they are all listed in alphabetical order yet the videos appear to be in a random order. I have copied across 5 seasons of a show and the seasons aren't grouped together nor in alphabetical order. Is there anyway to group the seasons together or list them in alphabetical order?
This seems to be a common problem after the upgrade to iOS 8 upgrade., for example: Re: Problems with events in Photo app on upgrading to iOS8
There is nothing that can be done about it. Sorting of synced events is not supported in the Photos.app.
To speed up a bug fix send feedback to the Developers using this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
iTunes Photo sync will be discontinued soon. The iCloud Photo Library will replace it early next year in Photos for MacOS X. Already, with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled, you can no longer sync your iPhoto library to your iOS devices using iTunes at all. -

ITunes 10.5/iPhone 3Gs Connection Errors after upgrade
I had quite a bit of trouble upgrading iTunes from 10.1x to 10.5. I had to remove ALL Apple products/files/registry entries. After I did this, I ran the installer file (64bit one) directly from the iTunes site. It looked as of everything installed EXCEPT one program installed partially then rolled back the installation of that particular program. The rest of iTunes 10.5 installed with no problems. When I tried to connect my iPhone 3Gs, I received the following error:
I looked in my control panel and noticed Apple Mobile Device Support is missing now. I assume this the the application that was 'rolled back'. I followed the instructions in the error listed above and the exact same thing happens again. Here is a bit of background on what I have:

This is what I did so far:
Backup up my iPhone before all this started (2 days ago)
Imaged my drive just in case -ALWAYS have backups
Uninstalled ALL Apple products from my PC via the Windows Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs
Cleaned the Registry of all Apple products that I could regognize
Deleted ALL Apple folders from drive
Checked to see if any Apple service was running (none were left)
Rebooted my PC
Scanned my entire HDD and Registry for all traces of Apple products (none found)
Went to the official iTunes 10.5 site and 'ran' the installed directly from there.
All went well till the one program 'rolled back' once again.
Connected my iPhone and the error listed above remains.
Ran Apple Updater and found that Safari and QuickTime
Installed Safari and QuickTime on a chance that it may help fix or repair something that I may have missed
Cursed/Yelled/Screamed/Cried/Took a chill pill and wrote this plea for help
This may be a bit more info than most want to see, but on the chance the Apple Support personnel actually look at this post, I want them to see the full details. I work in the IT field, so complex answers are ok to post. I am willing to try just about anything at this point. I appreciate any replies and will give more details as requested that involve this issue.
- GTThis is an update to my original post...
I was able to install iTune 10.5 finally, but Apple Mobile Device Support will still not install (update actually). I restored my PC to an earlier state (before I first tried to install 10.5 the first time) and now my older version will not start since my iTunes library has been upgraded to the 10.5 format. I am really stuck here. I really want to get me music back since I have nearly 30 Gbs of music and movies I have burned from CDs. That does not even include my iTunes online purchases that I can easily revover/re-download.
