Since we 3GS and 3G owners...

are having some issues with the new 4.0 update...basically what they are saying is go spend more money and get the Iphone 4....our phones are problems of the past smh...another great marketing plan by APPLE!!!

the reason this topic does not make sense. if the 3gs is encrypted, why would it matter if the 3g is not considering a new roll out would supply 3gs ?
also, I'm pretty sure that all the businesses that use iPhones need encrypted phones.

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail. That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine. Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook. I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

IPhone 3Gs and Mobile Me not updating Issues

I have an iPhone 3Gs and a mobile me account, everything was working well and if I entered info in my Calender or contacts either on the iPhone or my G5 Tower at home then they would sync up and merge so that the same dates or addresses were in both places.
Since updating the iphone to 4.0.1 I have had issues with date and contact merging.
If I add an entry in the calender it appear in my mobile me web calender when sync'ed, but does not transfer to the iPhone. I have checked that on the G5 the calender date book is the iPhones date book. I have checked that Calenders and Contacts are on the mobile me web. but they are not filtering down to the iPhone.
If I add a date to the calender on the iPhone they are not hitting the G5 tower.
This was never a problem prior to the phone software update. I have shut the phone down fully and restarted it incase that was an issue. I have also checked the phones Settings
Settings> Mail, Contact, Calenders and Fetch is set to Push every 30 Mins
Push > Set to On
Advanced schedule> Push (Have also tried Fetch as well)
and
Settings>for my .Mac email> Mobile Me >
Mail> On
Contacts> On
Calenders On
BookMarks> On
Notes>On
and
Settings>Calender
New Invitations Alers > On
Sync> All Events
Time Zone Support> On
Is anyone able to to suggest how I can cure this issue

I am having the same issue (actually only noticing on phone Mail, haven't checked calendar yet). And this is an iPhone 3GS without the 4.01 update. Been noticing this for a couple of weeks at least. I'll even hit refresh in Mail and it acts like it's trying, but old emails remain (that I trashed at work) and new ones I saw at work iMac are not shown. They eventually update, but not like they should, especially after I have told the phone to refresh. Not the behavior I've known and loved for years.

I have an iPhone 3GS and in the past 2 days I've gotten 5 emails saying that someone has logged in to my apple ID from an iphone 3gs using iMessage...

So, yes I do have an iPhone 3gs and yes it might be me who logs in bla bla bla, point is... I have not used iMessage as I don't know how to. Also, I have not logged into my Apple ID account through it as I have not been asked to log in, nor have I downloaded any Apps lately that would require me to put my login info into my phone.
I tried fixing this yesterday by changing my password, which I did, but I keep getting said emails... how can I stop those emails or how can I make it so that I don't log into iMessage (whatever that is).
I've texted a couple of friends since yesterday, but all of them have standard non-smart-phones...
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Thanks a lot!
Ok so... iMessages sole purpose is to be a sort of "messenger" between iOS products right? There's nothing more to it? By that I mean... now that I turned it off, will it have any repercussions on any other apps or functions in my iPhone?

I have a 3GS and I did the IOS 6 update now when I send a picture in a text IT WON'T SEND THE PICTURE! everything was working fine before the update and now no pictures will send in text, anyone know how to fix this?

I have a 3GS and since I did the IOS6 update my phone won't send pictures via text message. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have the Onavo app installed? If so, try removing it.
1. Go to your Settings app -> General -> Profiles
2. Locate the profile called "Onavo"
3. Tap Remove
4. Go back to your home screen and delete the Onavo Extend icon

I hope you guys can giv me some support here since I am Apple genuine buyer. I could be wrong last time and now I turn over a new leaf and learn a lesson.
Please noted that I can always create new account to ask for the same questions without mention about "jailbreak" if I want to but obviously I won't do that. Please provide me your support! Thank you!

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

Music on iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 unusable in iOS5

ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
YOU LOST MY POST! I can't retype all that, I am SO angry
About 20% of my music no longer works, or plays the wrong song on ios5. Always worked before since original iPod and iPhone 3GS on iOS 3. Problem with same songs on both iPhone and iPad. Mostly MP3s but also on some PURCHASES.
FIX IT QUICKLY
If anyone else has lost this IMPORTANT and very BASIC functionality on their device too, please post. If anyone can suggest anything beyond syncing again (taken music off and back on 3 times now, some songs persistently don't work, other songs randomly start failing and then work after either a device restart or syncing again) or converting all these songs to AAC (again, it's not just MP3s that aren't working) - which would mean losing my import dates, play counts, rebuilding playlists and still not being able to guarantee any improvement in the functionality of the devices - please help!
APPLE, PLEASE PUT BACK THE AUDIO CODECS FROM IOS4. Sadly, while Apple products usually stick to the line "it just works", this is the total opposite in iOS5 where "it continues to surprise me just how little works"

If the Apple ID is waiting for verification and you haven't received the email with the verification link, you could try going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click on Manage My Account to the right, sign in, under your primary email address click on "verify now", which should resend the verification email. This is from Apple:
I didn't receive a verification email (within 48 hours).
Sign in with your Apple ID account and resend the notification. Search all of your mail folders for any emails coming from 'apple.com'.
I didn't receive a verification email (more than 48 hours).
You'll need to restart the registration process. You can reuse the same account information.

How to closed open app in 3G (don't have multitasking display like in 3GS and 4G)?

Since 3G has slower CPU and smaller RAM compare to 3GS and 4G, then I think it should be useful if we could completely shut down app when we stop using it.

When the RAM gets used up, the iPhone will shut down apps all by itself, you needn't do anything. Of course, that doesn't always mean it works perfectly. The only way to close apps is to turn the phone off and back on again, which may be overkill most of the time, but I found necessary when I had a satnav app running, slowing everything else to a crawl.

Swap Sim between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

I am going to purchase an iPhone 4, but must do so under my wife's line due to contract dates. I currently have a 3GS, she has a "standard" phone. She will inherit the 3GS and go with the iPhone data plan. How would this work in regards to the SIM's since the 4 has the mini SIM.

I was told by an Apple Store Genius they would only do the transfer of IMEI and phone #s at the AT&T store. Apple store will not do it.
The preorder receipt is quite clear:
+"If you are swapping this device for use with a different wireless number, you must bring both this device and device assigned to the other wireless number to an AT&T Retail store to facilitate this change."+

Since we 3GS and 3G owners...
