Restoring iPhone to something less than iOS 4.2

Hello.
I have an iPhone 3G and a PowerBook with a PPC processor running iTunes 9.  I just had to restore my iPhone.  Bummer.  Since iOS 4.2 requires iTunes 10 and my Mac won't run iTunes 10, how can I update back to iOS 4.1?  I am pretty sure once the restore process is finished, I'll have 3.x on here and iTunes will only want to try to download 4.2 even though it can't.

Oh, nevermind.  If you restore from a backup, it preserves the OS version.

  • I have had my iphone 4 for less than 3 months and i always have it in a protective case, recently my bluetooth that i use daily will not stay connected, my alarm clock will not ring, any suggestions on whats going on??

    i have had my iphone 4s for less than 3 months and i always have it in a protective case, recently my bluetooth that i use daily will not stay connected, my alarm clock will not ring, any suggestions on whats going on??

    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.

  • I got my iPhone 6 plus less than a week ago. Now it randomly goes from getting a good cell signal to telling me there is No SIM installed. Did I get a defective phone? I ordered straight from Verizon.

    I got my iphone 6 plus less than a week ago. I ordered from Verizon. My phone is now randomly going from having a good cell signal to giving me a message No SIM. I was able to make calls, now when I get this message, I can't connect to cell service, which defeats the point of having a cell phone! The phone is brand new and has not been dropped, damaged, or otherwise mishandled. Did I get a defective phone or what?

    Hi! I got in touch with AppleCare last evening finally. They helped me clear the data blockage or whatever. It sounds like this is an issue they are aware of, because they said the phone was not defective. However, it happened again today and it took several times of me doing the resetting of the network and hard staring the phone before the problem cleared. It is just frustrating because it is hard to go without cell service for long periods of time. And no, I have not done anything with the SIM card. I don't know what it is or how it would be accessed on an iPhone! This might be something Verizon wants to take a closer look at with Apple.
    Thank you for the follow up. I will let you know if the problem continues.

  • Bad iPhone 4 battery (less than 90 days new!!!)

    My iPhone 4 is less than 90 days old and does not hold a charge overnight!  Obviously the battery is bad...who offers the warranty replacement, Verizon (who sent the phone) or Apple (the phone manufacturer)???  Thanks!

    Thanks for taking the time to reply 'Ann154'!  I appreciate the fact that you took the time to provide feedback...
    FYI...I contacted Verizon (before receiving your comment) and they were EXTREMELY helpful in evaluating my situation.  They apologized for the "faulty" phone and have shipped a replacement free of costs!!
    Cheers!

  • I've had my iPhone 4s for less than 6months and my camera has quit working. How can I fix it or get a new phone?

    I've had my Apple iPhone 4s for less than 6 months and the camera has stopped working. How do I go about fixing it or getting a new phone?

    There is a manufacturers warranty of one year. If you call 800-922-0204 they will send you a second hand iPhone. You then send the broken camera one back per their instructions.
    Or just walk into an Apple retail location and they can fix or replace on the spot. Personally I would go to the Apple store.
    Good Luck
    PS if the camera shows signs of breakage Verizon will charge you for the cost of the device. Apple will also unless you opt for a repair which could also run some money.

  • Battery discharges on iPhone 5 in less than 24 hours.  Is this normal?

    Battery on iPhone 5 running iOS7.0.4 discharges in less than 24 hours.  Older phones held charge for a few days.  Is this an iOS problem or a phone problem?  How can I get longer battery life?

    This is being caused by Software, I hate to tell you this but  it could be caused by World of WarCraft.

  • Time machine restore is stuck at less than a minute.

    I'm trying to restore my Mac from a back up HD and it's been stuck at less than a minute for about an hour. How do I fix it? I just got it back from the depot so it's completely fixed, but it won't restore. Help. :(

    You can power down the mac by holding the power button down for 10 seconds or until the mac powers off.

  • Restore iphone 4 to install the ios 5 but something went wrong while doing back up and whenever i connect the phone to itunes theres an error and the phone turn off after 1min

    hi guys i just downloaded the ios 5 and while it was doing back up something went wrong and everything were stopped and shows me a message as an error msg and now whenever i connect my iphone 4(32g) to itunes after 1min it goes off and the battery full and the same thing happend again and again can u help me guys plz i only see connect to itunes on the screen no options even

    by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
    if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

  • I have had my Iphone 4 for less than a week and daily it freezes and makes me restore

    any one know why my iphone 4 constantly freezes. it wont let me go on certain aps or text then gets stuck with apple logo
    restore works but then it happens again every day

    Sounds like you have a corrupt app or software.  Restore AS NEW.  Then try without any 3rd party apps.  If the phone works, begin adding your apps back one by one and trying your phone between each new app to see which might be at fault.

  • Unable to restore iphone 3GS after updating with iOS$

    I have a 32GB iphone 3GS purchased online in hong kong and therefore fully unlocked. I updated the software with iOS4 and now it will not fully restore and the error message is "error 29". The phone serial number, phone name etc have all been deleted.

    OK, so nothing else was working so I took my phone into the Genius bar and explained what had happened. The Genius said He was unsure what error 1013 was so he looked it up and explained "It's an error related to the baseband and that more than likely the phone was unable to communicate with Apple servers as Apple had the phone marked as non existent"
    He continued to explain that there was a fix he could do but would be quicker and easier to replace my phone. He did so and I left happy.
    I recomend you just take your phones in if you are having this same issue!

  • Lost internet connection while restoring iphone 4S from backup after iOS 6

    Hi everyone..
    I have just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 yesterday. It was iOS5.1.1 and was in jailbreak mode before the update.
    I did sync my iphone and did the 'Backup' as well before the update by using my latest iTunes via my laptop.
    The iOS6 update was successful.
    However, the 'Restore from backup' failed.. many times!! Everytime I tried to Restore from backup, i lost internet connection towards the end of the 'restore in progress'  process so it was never complete. I had to pull out the iphone cable or restart my pc every single time that happened. Because i cannot get an internet connection after that happened. I cannot connect to any wireless network, so I had to restart the pc!
    (the iPhone says 'Restore complete' as soon as I pulled out the cable. But phone stays as NEW phone, none of my backup data was restored).
    During the 'restore from backup' attempts (via iTunes 10.7 on laptop), I have tried:
    - Restoring to factory settings first and then restore from backup = tried many times and still failed.
    - Uninstalled Apple mobile device and iTunes and re-installed them = still failed.
    - Switched OFF the phone and hold the Home button while connecting to the laptop. Restored to factory settings, then tried to restore from backup = still failed!!
    - switching to different USB ports on my laptop including USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 = no luck, still failed.
    NOTES:
    -Laptop is on Windows 7 and have had NO such problems so far. I have been using iPhone since 3GS.
    -Internet connection is via wireless router, steady connection.
    -My 3GS was on jailbreak mode before. I bought iPhone 4S and successfully restored from my '3GS backup' without any problem.
    -iTunes 10.7 installed/updated.

    Nevermind.. I just found the solution to my problem.
    I copied the Backup folder into my mate's laptop and did the 'Restore from backup'.
    All is good now.. Only need to re-install my apps, soon after all will be back as per normal!

  • How can I make the "Music" button on the iPhone say something other than "Music" for it's label?

    Hi,
    The question is in the post title. I would like to change the icon which says "MUSIC" on the iPhone (formerly used to say "iPod" in the older O.S.'s) to something else. Let's say I want it to say "Audio" instead. Basically, in yet other words, I want to remane this icon to something else.
    Is this possible to do? If so, how can I go about it?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    You can't.

  • My Apple iphone 5 is less than a year old, meaning it's still under the 12 month warranty. The touchscreen has stopped working and there are lines across my screen. Can I get it replaced for free by booking an appointment in store?

    The rest of my phone is still perfectly operational. I can sync it to my Mac, I can still see my phone screen, meaning I can still see texts and calls coming through, the power button works, I can see my apps and my background, and the circle button at the bottom still works. It's just the touchscreen that isn't working. I can't slide across to answer calls or slide across to turn the phone off. As my phone is still under the 12 month warranty, will they replace my phone in store by booking an appointment at the Genius bar?

    I was taken through some diagnostics over the telephone with an Apple advisor, who asked me to restore the software, back my phone up, etc, which I have done. He couldn't rectify the problem so advised me to take it in. I am booked in this evening to see an Apple advisor in store. I don't know of anything that I have done for this to happen! It was in my pocket on holiday in Portugal and was ok one minute, I took it out of my pocket and the vertical lines were on my phone and the touchscreen had stopped working! I hope I can get it replaced.

  • How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano?  It comes up with the message "This device not supported".  Strangely my Iphone IS recognised.  The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

    How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system?  I keep getting the message "This device not supported".  My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however.  The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old.  Any suggestions welcome!

    Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.
