Re: Can an iPhone 3G operate using ios 5?

Pretty simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to reading Apple webpages. I have tried updating in iTunes but it tells me that my software version is up to date, version 4.2.1 Maybe the question should be can an iPhone 3G be used with iCloud?
I have migrated my Mobile Me to iCloud and now I don't get new mail on my phone.
I know that it is time to update my phone hardware and will but for now....

Thanks Kilted Tim,
I was guessing that this was the case.
Would you happen to know how if it is possible to get new mail on my iPhone 3G using iCloud?
Since I have gone ahead and migrated Mobile Me to iCloud probably a mistake without updating my phone hardware

  • How can I connect my iPhone 4 while using IOS 7 that requires a USB 3.0?

    I've been trying to connect my iPhone 4 (IOS 7) using a USB 2.0 Cable. I've jumped to the conclusion that I need a USB 3.0 cable to connect to my computer, in order to sync my files and music. I thought about splicing a USB 2.0 cable;31 pin connector that connect's to my iPhone 4, and using the other end of the USB 3.0 cable to connect to my computer.
    The only problem is, is that I'm curious if that is a solution that will/would work?
    I would love to have someone help me with this problem!
    Thanks,
    Steven Rupe
    P.S.: My iPhone 4 (IOS 7) does not work with a USB 2.0 cable.

    Download the latest itunes into your computer and install it.Do not connect the iphone before intallation.After intalling, connect your iphone with usb 2.0 and wait for the drivers to install in your pc.Open and Click on the iphone bar on the upper right of itunes software and synchronise with your pc and you are ready.

  • Can an iphone 4 be used as a dongle with an ipad2?

    I have an iPhone 4 3G with a tethering buble and 10Mg download package from Orange. I also want to buy an iPad2 32/64Gb. Orage tell me that although my microsim is compatible with both devices and can be changed from one to the other, they will not supply me with a duplicate sim  in order that I can run both devices from the same contract (Shame that Orange).
    So iof I buy an iPad 2 32 or 64 Gb with Wi-Fi only is it possible to connect it to my iPhone 4 and use the iPhone 4 as a dongle?

    If your Orange support it then you can use your iPhone as a mobile hotspot (enabled via the phone's Setting I assume) for the iPad (assuming that you've got iOS 4.3+ on the phone) - the iPad should then see it a wifi network

  • Is it possible to restore an iPhone 4s with iOS 7 from a backup of an iPhone 3GS that uses iOS 6?

    So for Christmas I am upgrading to a new iPhone and so therefore I am giving my iPhone 4s to my younger brother. He currently uses an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6 installed. I currently have iOS 7 installed on the iPhone 4s but am considering upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I was wondering if it is possible to when restoring my iPhone 4s to then set it up from the back up of the iPhone 3GS that runs iOS 6, when they run on different operating system updates. Will it work when the iPhone 4s is running iOS 7 or iOS 8, or both, or neither?
    Thank you.

    Yes, but the reverse won’t work.

  • How can my iphone back to use!!!

    i don know what i can do?y can not yund it on?wend is on mush want u canet to itunds.but is not work.wend u disconet the iphone say good night to u.f==k me.

    You cannot 'roll back' your iOS.  That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
    Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
    It's not the iOS.  It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue.  But it's not the iOS.  If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
    Troubleshoot your issue.

  • Can iPad/iPhone apps be used on an iMac?

    There is an excellent app called Solar Walk but it is designed to be used on iPads and iPhones.
    Is there any way of using this and similar apps on a normal iMac or must I go out and buy an iPad?

    No.  You cannot run IOS apps on an iMac or any other computer.
    Added later...
    Did you realise there is a "Solar Walk for Mac" available in the Mac App Store.  Is that the same thing as your IOS App?

  • Can the iPhone 6 be used in China now?

    My friend asked me to get an iPhone 6 from America, which is unlocked and without contract, I am not sure if he can use it in China. The salesperson told me I can not buy it from online and I should get it from an Apple Store. However, in an Apple Store, the iPhone 6 has a T-mobile contract or something and I can not understand. Now I just hope to get an answer from you as soon as possible. Thank you!

    You'll have to check with the Chinese telephone company if they have nano sims and are configures with the same frequency of your iPhone.

  • Can US iphone 3G be used in France "pay as you go"

    I'm traveling to France for 6 months. Can I take my US iphone 3G and buy "pay as you go" sims there?If so, where can I find pricing? Thanks.

    No. US iPhones are locked to AT&T SIMs only. If you get an iPhone if France, though, the carrier will unlock it (for a fee), so you could use it back in the US, or in other countries when you next travel.

  • IPhone 3GS/4 using iOS 5, experience so far?

    Hey fellow community members,
    It has been a couple of months since iOS 5's release. I currently own a iPhone 3GS which is running on iOS 5.0.1. It used to be running smoothly, and still is, although I notice a few crashes here and there due to low memory. I have deleted iCloud, and regularly clear out my apps from the multitasking tray, and perform at least one hard reboot daily. Doing these things make my experience with the phone a little better.
    So, I was wondering, how are you guys doing with your iPhone 3GS's? I am inviting all 3GS owners, and iPhone 4 owners to share their experiences concerning performance/bugs/positives with the new firmware, and overall experience, whether positive or negative compared to iOS 4.
    Thanks,
    tpulak

    I also have the 3GS with IOS 5.  When I first installed it, i noticed a very slight slowdown.  It wasn't enough to be a problem but now it has become so sluggish that it is an issue. 
    Like you, I clear the system tray regularly and reset often but the performance is awful.  I also have apps such as comcast mobile (for personal email) that I have had to delete and reinstall multiple times because it simply stops working.
    Very frustrating.

  • Can the iphone 6 be used for winter activities?

    Will it handle low temperatures and humidity (perspiration when in a pocket inside the outer wind/water proof shell jacket)? My iPhone 4s has often turned off during my cross country skiing (1-2 hours). Putting it in a sealed plastic bag seems to help, but that is so old fashioned when it comes to mobile phones (and fingerprint scanners will not work). Will the iPhone 6 be any more suited for winter sports use, or is it still made for warm and dry weather / indoor only?

    Yes u can turn off touch ID in the settings  and use a passcode if u want to

  • How can I get iPhoto only using ios 5?

    For the moment i do not want to update to ios 6 (I love Google Maps in ios 5, which have been removed from ios 6!), but I very much want to get iPhoto onto my iPad 2, but Apple says that it demands ios 6...? Is there no way to obtain "the old" version?

    Sorry, once an app is updated in the App Store there's no way to get the old version.

  • TS3376 what is going on with the find my iphone app,i use IOS 6.1.1 and i have updated the find my iphone app and now i cant locate my device

    some help or some explanation would be nice because i rly need this app and now after the update im not able to locate my device

    Not sure if it would help or not, but if you haven't already done so, some things you could try are:
    Tap Sign Out on the top right of the app, then sign back in
    Force close the app by going to the home screen, double-tapping the home button, locating the app in the list at the bottom, tapping and holding the app until it wiggles, tapping to close it, then tapping the home button again.
    Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Find My iPhone off, the after a minute or so, turn it back on.
