Restored Apps from Iphone 4 to 3gs, problem.

I had a Verizon iphone 4 with ios 4.2.6. I lost it, so I went and got my old AT&T 3gs phone with ios 4.2.1 and did a "restore from backup" and used my Verizon Iphone 4 backup. Everything works great..(other than I dont have cellular service) but.... all the icons of the apps I had installed on my iphone 4 are blank. The native iphone apps icons show up fine, but every single app I downloaded from the appstore (about 100 of them) are blank white icons. The programs all run fine, but this blank icon thing is driving me nutty. Any help out there?

Errr... I wanted to keep 4.2.1 on this one. Trying out something new for once. Any other suggestions? I was thinking it was due to the retina display on the iphone 4 and the icons were the retina versions? Just not sure how to switch them back to the regular icon resolutions for the 3gs.
I'm surprised it even let you use a 4.2.6 backup on a 4.2.1 phone. If it is just a retina icon problem, try deleting an app the get it again from the app store (you won't be charged again if you are using the same iTunes account).

An iPhone backup does not contain any iTunes content. After you restore from backup, you must sync or re-download your iTunes content, to restore it to your device.

How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

Your photos are gone. When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone. In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos. Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.

Updating iphone4 apps from iphone using Wi-Fi

I could not seem to get my iphone4 to update any apps from iphone using Wi-Fi. It simply goes into the menu and no update shows up.

I fixed the problem by following instructions on http://appletoolbox.com/2012/10/app-store-not-working-blank-screen/
I have copied the instructions below for convenience:
Several users have reported an inability to access the App Store, meaning that when the buttons Purchased, Search, Categories, or Charts are tapped, users are shown blank pages and nothing loads when they want to use the App Store on an iPad or iPhone. Several people also reported that this problem started after they updated to iOS 6.
How to Fix
Please try each step until you resolve your issue:
Tap Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > Off. Set the date one year ahead. Then try to access the App Store.
It may be a connection issue. Try changing your DNS settings to Google’s open DNS by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi >, tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network, and then tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8 (Google’s Public DNS). (see this article)
Close the App Store completely by pressing the home button twice, pressing and hold the App Store icon until it starts to wiggle, then tapping the minus sign to close it. Re-launch the App Store.
Restart your device by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button until “Slide to Power off” appears.
Launch the App Store; if it is still blank with nothing shown, wait a few minutes. Sometimes apps may load slowly because of networking issues.
If still nothing appears, try changing the device’s language by tapping Settings > General > International > Language. Pick a language. Pick any other second language you already know or be familiar with. If you don’t, do not forget to navigate back in a different language. Change the language, launch the App Store, then change the language back to what it was originally.
Sign out of your Apple ID by tapping Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap your Apple ID and select “Sign Out”. Wait one minute and sign back in by reentering your Apple ID and password.

Gift app from iPhone to iPhone

My developers are developing an app for me and I want to add the function of gifting the app from iPhone to another iPhone/iPad user.
They asked me how to do that....Like I am meant to know, lol, so I have asked this question here.
Is there a resourse that these guys don't know about?

I was having this problem too. Last night, before I rented a movie, I turned iTunes on on my iMac. I rented the movie from iTunes on apple tv, then checked my acount on my iPad. My account updated once I logged into it. Maybe you need to have iTunes running when purchasing or renting.
Try it.

My weather app from iPhone is not updating

Since Saturday, my weather app from iPhone 5 hasn't been updating sometimes.
All of a sudden, it starts working again.
- Why does that happen?
- Is there any solution?
Thanks!

Hello thiagok91,
I have a few recommendations for this issue you describe. First if you havent already, restart the phone.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, then I suggest toggling the Location Services off and then back on in settings outlined here:
Turning Location Services on or off
You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which applications and system services have access to Location Services data.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
From: iOS 6: Understanding Location Services http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5467
And if needed, you may need to quit the app, and re launch it.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Take care,
Sterling

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

Hi,
I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
But the folder are not synced.
If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.
