Since iOS8 my iphone 3GS no longer synchronises with my two ipads and my laptop.  none of the many suggested solutions work.  i rely on my phone to work as it did before for  medical reasons.  i did not ask for this to happen.  why must i pay?

as my iphone used to remind me when to take my medicine wherever i was i could trust apple and its products for use.  i can no longer do this and mourn the loss of freedom of movement i had prior to iOS8.  i have spent days and days following advice and suggested remedies without success.  i see no other solutions than buying a phone that will sync with iOS8.  but why should i pay to repair damage to the system i have relied upon done by someone else?  is it in fact legat for anyone to do this to me, or anyone else?

I cannot check any recorded version of any telephone call. You are referring to me as if I am an Apple employee. That could not be further than the truth. If you took the time to read any part of where you register for the forum, this is a user to user forum. I am a user just like yourself.
You made the statement that you use your phone to create a reminder to take medication. A 3GS phone is incapable of running iOS8, so that has nothing to do with it. I asked if you have iOS8 on your iPads, which you fail to identify, and avoid the answer. And where does the laptop fit into this, since it does not use iOS8.
If you were to identify the problem you are alleging, then someone might be interested in helping. You do not indicate your issue except to say about an inability to synchronize between devices. And I do not appreciate your assessment of my character.
Let me be precise: You are not addressing Apple, no one can determine what has happened to your devices since you do not describe the issues, and it is not up to users to determine responsibility. I suggest you contact Apple again, as you state you have done, and take up the issue with them.
I'm through.

  • Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts.  I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device.  Any ideas, anyone?

    It's good to know.  The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit.  The larger problem is that it partially works:  partially and erratically.  So clean-up is great fun.

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes &amp; Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer syncing with external hard drive

    Going to try this in a new thread as I had no answer to my reply in another discussion..... Here goes:
    Okay, I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard in which I just updated iTunes to 10.4. My iTunes library is on an external hard drive.
    I updated my iPhone to 4.3.4 and the syncing stopped working. It did not download all of my purchased items from the phone.
    I get an error that it cannot write to the iPhone then get an error regarding some of the photos or music. Here is what I have done -
    I restored my iPhone
    I removed all photos from the iPhone and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    I unplugged the external from my mini and then it did a sync just fine - course I wasn't syncing anything to it!
    I plugged back in the external via Firewire which is what it was before and I get the errors.
    I haven't done anything with the photos and it is syncing ringtones fine - it is not syncing tv shows or all music - it comes up with an error
    I uninstalled 10.4 and reinstalled the previous version of iTunes and again - same thing.. I have switched out the external hard drive cable and plugged it into different locations
    I am at my wits end - want my phone back
    Prior to the latest iTunes update everything was fine but of course I hadn't updated the iPhone yet - so I don't know which update is now causing the problem although I'm thinking it's the iTunes update..
    Any thoughts? Beyond frustrated at this point.

    I see views but no replies I have no clue what to do with this problem..
    anybody?

  • IPhone 3GS no longer syncs with Itunes

    Hi there, i have:
    MacBook: 10.4.11
    ITunes: 9.2.1
    iPhone: 3GS (4.0.1)
    Earlier today I successfully synced my iphone to itunes. All fine there. However, I noticed that there was a message saying a software update, 4.2 was available for my iPhone. Clicked on the update button in iTunes but a message saying 'this version of itunes (9.2.1) is the current version' appeared. Didn't make sense as was in the iPhone update screen on iTunes. Tried again to update and got the same message.
    Anyways, thought best to reboot my mac & iphone and try again with the software update. This time though, iTunes doesn't even register that my iPhone is connected to it. I get nothing, doesn't come up as a device and iphone battery is not being charged by the mac. Again have rebooted and still the same.
    Checked for software update of iTunes and it says i'm running the latest version, 9.2.1. FYI, have checked the USB ports / cables and they are all working.
    Have no idea what's going on! Any ideas? Cheers.

    OK, solved - I think. A friend lent me an OS X 10.5 disk which sorted everything on the G5 Power PC iMac. BUT:-
    1. Still no solution for G4 iBook which will simply choke running Leopard
    2. Thank you (ironic here) Apple for removing syncing with 10.4.11 without saying anything. How are you supposed to load new iPhone firmware without syncing???
    3. OS X 10.5 isn't available on the Apple site - it needs to be, and probably free
    I'm also really disappointed how little attention has been paid by Apple Support to this discussion. I thought they kept looking at these.

  • Both of our iPhone 4s no longer connects to home wifi, iPad and iMac still do.

    Our home wifi appears to be working fine.  Our iPad and our computer are connected and have no trouble.  However, both my husband's and my iPhone 4s that have always been connected no longer connect.  It can see the signal, allows me to click on it an enter the network key, but then says unable to connect.  We reset our wireless hub but that did not help.  I restarted my phone and reentered the network key twice.  I'm fairly sure that it stopped working right after the most recent update.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I don't want to drain all my data down while I'm @ home.

    Update, the iPad worked all morning and the second that my settings button showed that there was a new software update, it disconnected from the wifi and is now behaving exactly like the iphones.  This has got to be an issue with the new software. 

  • My iphone 3GS no longer syncs with iTunes. The phone is recognised, backs up but then I get an error message: "Waiting for changes to be applied". BUT unlike other people, it doesn't stay stuck on it, instead the process closes down immediately

    Hi all,
    Apologies: I've just joined the community and didn't quite figure how to write a msg! Hope it works...
    Anyway,
    I read many posts on this annoying error message (Waiting for changes to be applied) in the last 2/3 days, but they all refer to the sync staying stuck on it.
    Mine doesn't.
    I read the message, then it quickly shuts down the sync and the iTunes progress bar only shows the apple...
    As suggested by many, I removed voice msgs, turned off/on, tried to sync in individual stages (calendar only...) but nothing works.
    I am up to date on iTunes (11.1.1.11) and have IOS 6.1.3 on my phone, to sync on a Win8 pc (all worked fine until recently).
    I have had this phone for several years and it has never done this.
    It worked absolutely fine, until I loaded the latest version of iTunes it seems...
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
    (I use iTunes 11.1.5.5)

  • For added security you could not ask for the password also the shutdown?

    Hi to all,
    I wanted to ask if you think it was logical to put the password at the shutdown,
    in case of theft the thief would not be able to turn off the device, so that would be easier to track it down
    at least until the battery is discharged.
    Thank
    Giuseppe

    Regardless of apple updating something or another. I have no need for the additional questions and really don't want to allow them to bully me into compliance.
    You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

    So how can I continue in the good old fashioned way?
    Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
    You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

  • Im trying to make a purchase on a gaming app. It's a 50 dollar purchase of diamonds(tokens) for a game called warrior's 3, and for some reason it's not going through this is the fourth time this has happened to me and every time you say just wait thirty

    I've already gone into my settings and checked billing info and it's correct. Can you please help I don't want to wait till morning when Apple is open again finally.

    Who says 'wait thirty' ? We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple
    What do you mean by 'not going through' ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you will need to do so : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • Since updating my iPhone 3GS on my friends laptop, it keeps asking for her iTunes Id not mine. When I log onto a computer it comes up with my Id but from my phone it's my friends. I don't have an option to change the user Id when it pops up either.

    Hello, 34sandy. 
    Thank you for the question.  This behavior is normal if updated on another Apple ID account holders computer.  To change the Apple ID on your device, follow the steps in the article below.

  • Why is Apple putting music on my iPhone that I did not ask for and do not want ?

    I have a Mac Pro and an iPod Classic that I use for my music.
    I noticed today that some of my purchased music was on my iPhone iTunes app. I did not ask for these to be installed.
    Also, I noticed that when I tap on a song, sometimes it plays, sometimes nothing happens.

    Do you mean this
    No.
    These are thousands of songs that I purchased using my Mac Pro.  I sync my iPod Classic with a USB cable to move the songs to the iPod.
    Now, my purchased songs (not the ones imported into my Mac Pro using a CD), are in my iPhone.   I do not use the cloud.  I have been very careful not to sign up for anything related to the cloud.
    I'm trying to figure out why Apple is forcing this on me.

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.
