Problem with 3G, now updating to iPhone 4

I've had the 3G since it came out. I never had problems with it until a few months ago. All of a sudden, I couldn't send texts or email anymore (i would hit send and the phone would kick me out of the messages/email app). Also, same problem with most apps: I would be in them and it would just kick me out. There were no problems with making/incoming calls. Then, OS 4.0 came out, and updating the software fixed all my issues. Of course, my 3G is now very slow.
I haven't updated to OS 4.0.1, Should I?
I'm going to get the iPhone 4 soon. Do you think there will be any problems (because of the issue I had on the 3G) if I restore the iPhone 4 from my 3G backup?

A 'few months' seems like a long time to have such problems with your 3G and not try and get it fixed through the 'Genius' option or similar.
There's no way of knowing whether your backup files will continue with this problem on a new phone, as you don't know what's causing it. The best thing to do would be to go direct to Apple with this surely, and actually find out what caused the problems in the first place?
If the email and text has worked since updating the software, make a new backup - then it shouldn't install any problems.

Problems with sound after updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 7.0.6

I have updated my iPhone 4s' software to IOS 7.0.6 and it is no longer sounding when the earphones are not plugged in. Any tips?

HI guys!
I
have the same problem since updating to iOS 7.0.6 - my speaker sound is gone for any apps. It appears ringers and alarms might be working.
What I have noticed, that nobody else has mentioned, is when I use the ringer volume control buttons on the side of the phone is that it ajusts the Headphones volume, regardless of whether the headphones are plugged in or not. My phone things headphones are always plugged in, as far as I can tell, except when it comes to the ringer and alarms.
Not sure that gets us any closer to a solution, but that's what I've observed. Are others seeing this too when they adjust theur volume?

A problem with the ios7 updating to iPhone 4?

After ios7 updating my iPhone 4 the copy and paste no longer works
is it a bug?
what can i do?
evrytime i do the copy it's shutting me out of the app i'm in/

It certainly does work.
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.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Big problem with photos after update to iOS 4.3

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with the photos on my iPhone 4 after updating to 4.3
There is not enough space for them, anymore. Before the update I had about 9000 photos synced with iTunes -and I had about 10 GB free. Now, iTunes can't sync the photos anymore because there is not enough space on the iPhone??? The same amount of photos does not fit anymore. I suppose there is an error in the Itunes photo compression module. Anybody else with the problem? Any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks, Olaf
Update: The same number of photos is taking up three times as much space than before.

Me too, but I have the solution.
There seems to be 2 problems. First, for some reason your data is taking up more space post update, so if you were close to filling your device, you now overrun. This isn't well handeld by iTunes, but doesn't seem to be the biggest problem as I'm sure that would sort itself out if you could just get it to sync.
The root problem is the 2nd one - the missing file. Mine was a photo, but it took me ages to find it and you're not going to like how I did it. I started to untick things to sync one by one (music first) and attempting the re-sync. I found that it was a file in my photos that was causing the problem, so I removed those and then re-loaded everything back up and I'm now OK again. I use Aperture to sync with.
I had the same problem with the last OS update and it's a pain because it takes ages to sort with a nearly full 32G device.
Now onto my iPad for an update, but that's proving to be a non-starter as the thing wont back up due to "another session in progress". More rooting around to solve that I guess......

Problems with iTunes Latest Update?

Have you had problems with your Apple devices after installing the latest iTunes update? If so, read below.
This is long but worth your time to read if you have a music library. I have the problem with my iMac and my iPhone 5. Maybe more devices but I'm not connecting them to my computer. On Saturday the 8th of December I connected my 5 to my iMac. It deleted all of my songs on my phone. Several attempts to put the songs back on my phone got only about 700 added. I had over 12,000 songs on my phone before the update deleted them. One of the tech's was able to help me get the songs back on my 5 but I don't know what this update has done to it. Then while looking at my library on my Mac I noticed that the ratings column was blank and the plays column blank too. I have over 35,000 songs on my computer and all with ratings so this is a big deal to me. I started calling Apple at 1:00 pm and talked to seven techs by about 6:30pm. One went to a supervisors computer and he checked to see if his ratings were there and they were not. He played the song and the rating returned so they asked me to play a song. While it was playing some of my ratings and plays returns so we thought that fixed it and ended the call. About ten minutes later all of them had disappeared again. I was assigned a senior advisor and was told I would be called back by a the software department within 48 hours. No call back yet. Since then I have had two entire songs disappear. I had written down that I had 35,297 songs and now have 35,295. Album and song names have also disappeared. I tried restarting my Mac but it did not help. Today I e-mailed my Apple contact and asked for an update on any progress made but have not heard anything. So here is my question to you. Is your music and video library all there after the latest update? Very likely not.

Sorry this happened to you, too. In my case, I still had another computer, a Mini, on which I had not made the update. Since my library is on its own HD, it was a simple matter of removing iTunes 11 and then copying 10.7 back onto the iMac. iTunes 11 is, IMO, Apple's biggest blunder in the nearly 29 years I've been using Macs.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

Problem with iOS 5 update

Hi everyone!
Has someone of you have a problem with iOS 5 update? My iPhone after updating to the newest version, from time to time appears "There's no SIM card" . I don't know if there's a problem with MY iPhone or update "error"? Thanks in advance for your response.
Best regards,
glaenken

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Also try this, copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
"No SIM installed" alert (GSM models only)
Remove the SIM card (micro-SIM on iPhone 4). Insert the SIM eject tool or the end of a small paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray. Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. See this document for more information.
Verify the SIM card is not damaged or dirty.
Reinstall the SIM card.
Turn the phone off and back on.
Wait approximately two minutes, then see if iPhone detects the SIM card and if it will register on the network.
If that doesn't work, try another SIM card, if possible, to see if it is detected.

I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'.
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Any problems with compatibility of update iTunes with OSX 10.7.5

Has anyone noticed any problems with compatibility of updated iTunes with OSX 10.7.5?

Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated.

It sounds like your 5800 has the earpiece fault that was common with 5800's made before February.
You need to take it to a nokia care point for repair under warranty.
