Problems with Iphone 3GS and IOS 6.1.3

IOS 6.1.3 downloads and installs, when the phone restarts it wants to download the upgrade again.
About shows that the phone is running IOS 6.1.2  
I have downloaded the upgrade 3 times with same result.
Restarted the phone manually to no avail.
What's wrong ?

Confirm 3GS can be upgraded to iOS 6.1.
I was sitting on the sideline and finally upgraded ATT 3GS to iOS 6.1 last night as follows:
1. Backup via iTunes to iMac
2. Completed and exited iTune.
3. Upgrade 3GS to iOS 6.1 via WiFi (not iTune)
4. Follow on-screen iOS 6.1 Setup (just a few features to turn on/off)
While I have only got a few hours on iOS 6.1 since I got up, iCloud, 3G and WiFiworking fine.
Beware YouTube is gone for good.
Good luck.

  • Problems with iPhone 5 and IOS 7

    Since yesterday my iPHone 5 has been turning off and would only turn back on when I connect it to the charger. It has been doing that since this morning which lead me to restore the phone. First I tried restoring it to my latest backup and that didn't work. Then I tried restoring it as a new phone, which some what worked, but it is not allowing the backup to restore my data & information or do anything. I started logging back in to all of my apps or use my iPhone but the phone keeps rebooting itself. Now the I am dealing with the phone turning off on its own and will only turn back on when I connect it to the charger except it is not turning back on completely. Now my phone will only turn on to the white screen with the apple logo, go black, and repeat. Should I just give it a day and allow Apple to fix the problem or had anyone found a solution that actually works. Has anyone gone to the Apple Store to receive help and was there any success in to fixing the problem? I hope this is not some April fools joke.

    Hello Alexander G92.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting both issues you're describing:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Since it seems the white screen is the most current issue, these steps will help:
    Display shows a white screen
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    If that issue is resolved and the phone continues to require you to connect it to power to function:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Problems with Iphone 4 and IOS 5

    My iphone 4 was updated to IOS 5 and Itunes updated to 10.5. Since then I have had issues with new apps authorizing with Itunes and one app (Geocaching) in particular will not work or update. Any ideas?

    I've had the same problem since 7/26 with iOS4.3.3, and it got worse when I upgraded it to 4.3.5!!  What can be worse than having a phone battery that lasts <6hrs (from 100% to 0%!!!) while travelling?!!! and it's uncomfortably hot.....
    I have turned off all the data, 3G/Wifi <as I'm travelling>; stop all the push mails / notifications/....; checked that I've closed all the apps  & web pages;...and even put it in airplane mode....but it's still not working properly.
    who can help us????
    I'm trying to reduce the # of apps by 80% and to switch off the MS exchange mail a/c.   the phone seems to be cooler now, but will see if it works.

  • ITunes 11 sync problems with iPhone 5 and ios 7

    I just installed itunes 11 and it iTunes will no longer sync with my iPhone 5.  It would say that it was syncing and then the new files would not be transferred.  I uninstalled and re-installed.  All of my files were present in iTunes.  I would try to sync again and now it tells me I need 500 MB of space to complete the sync  I am only trying to sync 9 new songs.  No way its 500 MB.  Besides the bar at the bottom of itunes says I have 3.2 GB of space.  Is anyone else having trouble with the new iTunes?

    Ok folks .. here is the solution that has finally worked for me.  After spending over 45 days on and off the phone with Apple support, this is the work around solution for the ibooks.
    Set your IPAD as new and go through that whole set up process.  Plug in your device so it can communicate with iTunes.  When you load your books from iTunes to the IPAD do not synic the first time.  You will have to drag and drop from iTunes the books/music you want loaded.  After you manually do this, the synic seems to work fine. 
    Also things I have found.  By dragging and dropping the volume of books I have.  It took less time to load on my IPAD then it did trying to synic and waiting over 24 hours to load in IPAD (at which time you can't touch your device).  It was during this huge file load that the Ibooks App/iTunes/Cloud and whatever other Apple software all talk, that the books being loaded start to go squirrely and go into limbo.
    Here is the problem.  When you get the message "waiting for files to copy", itunes and your device are having an issue.  So files that iTunes thinks it has copied over, actually go into limbo and sit there greyed out and won't work on your device.  When you try to re-synic again, iTunes says "hey!  I have already copied these over" and will sit there on "waiting for files to copy".
    A way to fix the files that are in limbo, delete your app and re-download it.  The files that moved over from iTunes to your device will still be there, however, the files that are in limbo will disappear.  This should stop the synic issue ... or it will identify that there are issues with some of your files.
    Is this a great fix ... nope!   I pushed and pushed to be allowed to talk with someone from DEV and got stonewalled.  I even brought in their Customer Support from Corp Head office and got absolutely no where.
    BOTTOM LINE:  iTunes and your devices can not handle a huge transfer of files from iTunes to the device and it creates this limbo "waiting for files to be copied".  I find this ironic, because I have never had this problem when it comes to my music (transfering from iTunes to my IPOD), however, I haven't synic that device in awhile, guess i am scared it will do the same crap.
    I also got Apple to acknowledge that when they test out their new software upgrades and devices that they ONLY test with iTunes Store only products (ie: music/books/apps).  Infact, Apple DOES NOT test any outside source materials.  I found this rather pathethically sad, since 99.9% of the users of any devices get their music/books from sources OTHER then the Apple Store.  This means that a file that USED to work for you (example: a song) and was loaded on your device fine before all these software upgrades in Nov/2013 might not work anymore because of a change they have made in their software.
    Last conversation I had with Apple (both Support and Customer Service) was them telling me that DEV was looking into the problem but did not have an ETA on when a fix would happen.
    Also keep in mind, I found that even with a 128kg AIR, it doesn't like to hang alot of books.   I found that at around 3k in books, the device starts to freeze up.  This contradicts the Apple concept, that the device can hold as many songs/books as you want, until you reach the max room available on the device.  I can clearly tell you this statement is infact false.  The device does not like to hold that many files and it starts to delay on you (quite noticeable) at 3k.
    So, that in a nutshell has been my experience with Apple Support.  45 days later, I have reset my Air 10 times, tried to load all my books (at one time) 9 times, to finally find that the only way to get them in was a drag and drop the alphabetic (one letter at a time) and let it load on the IPAD before I would drag and drop more.  The synic problem doesnt happen anymore, I had to eliminate 2 books that itunes just would not send over to the IPAD even though there was nothing wrong with the file.  Am I happy?   NOPE ... talk about bait and switch. 
    Consumers beware ... Apple doesn't necessarily deliver what it says it will.

  • 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.

  • I have very strange problem with Iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Please help!

    I have very strange problem with iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree or above temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Whenever I am using Skype or playing game for a while it losses carrier signals and wifi. When it is cooled down afer shutting down the carrier signals and wifi are back. It is for sure problem is with heating, but 30 degree tempeature in Oman is normal and some time it goes upto 50 degrees. I have noticed this has started after I started using substandard charger as I lost my original charger of the phone. Please help!! Thanx.

    The specifications define an operating range up to 35 degrees.

  • Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

    I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
    All worked OK with ISO 6.

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

  • 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,

  • Update problem with iphone 3GS to last night update IOS 4.2

    Hi
    last night i update my iphone 3GS to new IOS 4.2, and from this time i cannot use the iphone anymore, there is a message on the iphone asking to connect to itunes, but when i connect the iphone there is another message informing that they do not find the apple mobile device driver
    please help
    many thanks in advance

    What worked for me was not on the Apple troubleshooting list. I tried the whole list.
    First, I reset the phone. (Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time. Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.)
    Second, I restored the phone.
    I could not restore the phone until I reset it.
    Good luck.

  • 3 problems with iPhone 3GS, iOS 5

    1. I deleted the movies and tv shows from my iPhone via iTunes, but when i look in Videos, they are still there. When i check the remaining space on my phone with iTunes, it shows that the videos are taking up 4.4 GB.
    2. This is more of a problem with iTunes, but every time i try to sync movies or photos, it attempts to sync all my apps from the computer to the iPhone as well.
    3. I cannot delete podcasts through iTunes.
    An answer would be very much appreciated.
    EDIT: When i go to the Movies and Tv Shows tab in iTunes, the movies aren't there. But they are still on my phone an watchable.

  • Problems with iPhone 4 and 3G

    Hi,
    since iOS 5 I am faced with severe software problems, software freezes and system crashes. Lately I am facing problems to call without openining a specific setting before calling. Ditto the iPhone has problems to connect to the internet, but it can not be the SIM card as the card is working without problems in other devices. I have reset the device and installed a backup - no changes. Maybe a pure rest will do, but I am not really happy about starting to set up everything from scratch.
    Does anyone have similar problems and/or a solution?
    Thanks.

    One of the issues that we have had since the latest upgrade (4.2.1) is with the radio function in general (both wifi and bluetooth). We have identified that the wifi security protocol stack has serious issues with key length and this can stop connections to the wifi systems such as TC and APE, but it also affects anyone using security string longer than 8 characters.
    With bluetooth we noticed that the older pairing sequence was no longer working. The only way that we could clear this down was by deleting all pairing done earlier in both devices, resetting the network settings and then restarting the 'phone. Place the vehicle/headset/device into pairing mode AFTER the iPhone has completely restarted. Go into the GENERAL-BLUETOOTH settings and pair the device again, this should be all you need to do.
    One thing to note is that some of the older bluetooth devices only support v1 of the bluetooth protocol stack and this causes trouble with the new update (don't know why yet but it looks like a handshake problem).
    Finally - for BMW owners, the bluetooth stack in 4.2.1 can cause intermittent drop-outs if the car software has not been updated recently (prior to Jan 2010). If you need to pair your iPhone 4 or upgraded 3GS, you may need to take your car to a dealer to update the comms package to he latest version. The snap-in for the iPhone 4 is due from Jan 2011.
    Hope this helps.
