Should I install 5.0.1 on iPhone 3?
I have an old iPhone 3, currently running 4.3.5. When I sync it to my computer iTunes suggests I upgrade to 5.0.1. Is this a good or bad idea? In other news, my phone is becoming increasingly slow and feeble, really not sure why. But apps take forever to load/open, or simply don't. Getting a new phone is the obvious solution, but ATT tells me I can't get a 4S until February on my current plan. Yeesh.
To prevent confusion, I suggest you clarify your iPhone model in the title and post. There is no such model as iPhone 3. iPhone 3G max iOS version is 4.2.1 so you probably have an iPhone 3GS.
I can't advise whether installing iOS 5 on an iPhone 3GS is good for. Some 3GS owners like it, others don't. Since you are already running 4.3.5, I would be inclined to update. But upgrading to iOS 5 will not make the "increasingly slow and feeble" go away, that sounds like a problem that should be solved first, so you don't blame it on iOS 5. One option is to restore as a new phone using your current iOS version.

Should I install an anitvirus software on my iphone 4? if so whats recommended
Should I install an antivirus software on my iphone4? If so what is recommended?
None is required. There are no viruses/malware that can affect an iPhone that has not been jailbroken. All apps are vetted by Apple and the app store is the only legitimate source for apps.

I installed the App" find my Iphone on my Ipad.. its working well.
But I also need to be able to track my Iphone if lost... I also have the app on my Iphone but when I click on it to find my phone it is showing me where my Ipad is... how can I get it to show my Iphone also? the chances of me losing my Ipad are less then my Iphone.But I need to be able to trac both.How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
Best of luck. -
After i installed ios 7 in my iPhone 4s and I got problem to login into my icloud account.
There is a message appear and said "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"
can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ?
iPhone 4, iOS 7
iPhone 4S, iOS 7, (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
It took less time to do that for me to type this lol. -

How should I download iOS 8 for my iPhone 5s?
How should I download iOS 8 for my iPhone 5s?
If you typically sync your iPhone to a Computer with iTunes than that would be a good first place to start. As you would know, once your iPhone is connected via the lightning / USB cable to the Computer and iTunes is open you can click on the box that says "iPhone" and you will go to the Summary page on the computer screen and it will say that iOS 8 is available. Just click to Update. After a few seconds it should give you an estimated time to complete the Download (but not the time of the complete install process). Alternately you could just go on your iPhone 5s to Settings>General>Software Update and see if it says iOS 8 is Available to Install. Click to Update and just set the iPhone down in front of you and watch as it goes through the process. Either way should work fine.

I will travel to France and let me know if I should buy any adapter to charge my iphone?, because the plugs are different than here in chile
Hi Shawn,
It sounds like the person who installed the hardware didn't install the software properly for you. You should reinstall this to get full functionality and control yourself.
The process is easy:
) With the computer on, close all programs that are running and put the Creative CD-ROM into your computer's CD or DVD dri've. There are probably several disks; the one that you want should say 'Intallation and Applications CD' on the label.
2) The Setup program should start automatically in a few moments, but if nothing happens, click your Start menu and choose Run..., then click the Browse button. From the 'Look In' drop-down menu, choose your CD/DVD dri've. In the list of files that appears, choose the one called Setup or Setup.exe.
3) The Setup program will let you choose what to install. Choose to install everything. There might be two separate Setup processes that start after this: one for the soundcard's drivers, and one for the Creative MediaSource software. Within each process, when you are given the choice of Full, Custom, or Basic, select Full in each case. Follow the instructions in the programs and they will guide you through the setup process.
IMPORTANT: you will likely be given the option to use digital output only to your speakers. Only select this if you have digital speakers, attached to the sondcard through only one digital cable. If your speakers are attached using several cables, you should use analog output.
4) Once all of the Setup programs are completed, they will probably have you restart your computer.
All of the above should have been done when the card was first installed, but it seems that whoever you paid to do the installation didn't bother with the software install.
After this is all done, you should be able to use all of your speakers. If you are still having trouble, you will be able to follow the instructions that you were given before on how to enable CMSS.
Good luck!

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes? Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also? I haven't done this before with just an app. Thanks.
Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store. -
I have iphone5. should i install ios8 before starting to use iphone6
Should I install ios8 on iphone5 before syncing my new iphone6 which has ios8
There's no need to do so, but you should make an iTunes or iCloud backup first.
You can restore a backup from an older iOS device to a newer iOS device (i.e., I can restore an iPhone 3GS backup that was using iOS 6.1.6 to an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2).
If this wasn't possible, then people would never be able to upgrade from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6, for example, and still have all their data. -
How do I install apps on a new iPhone 6 that uses a different Apple ID than the one used to purchase the apps?
Sign in to the iPhone or connect the phone to the computer and sign into the store using the original ID and download the apps to the phone?

I deleted the pre-installed iPhoto app from my iPhone 5s by mistake. And I can't find the same app in the App Store. How do I recover it?
iPhoto for iOS is no longer being offered by Apple and has been replaced by the Photos app. It is not compatible with iOS 8. This Apple document may help: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.
