Texting on new 3GS stuck on widescreen?!

Just put the sim card from my old iphone 3G 8 gig (AT&T) into my new iphone 3GS 16 gig, and when I go to send a text the keyboard is stuck on widescreen instead of changing to the regular upright keyboard when I turn the phone. Is there a way to change this?

Ok so apparently it's something wrong with the sensor in the phone. I went to the zippo app and the flame is sideways even when I hold the phone upright. Guess I have to go exchange it tomorrow. Faulty iphone.

How do I connect my new 3gs iphone to itunes when i have a corrupted backup file

My iphone 3gs died (got stuck on the itunes screen) when I tried to upgrade it. i never had a good backup for my phone but i tried to back up anyway. Didn't work.
Today I got a new 3gs at the apple store and now I'm trying to put everything back on it manually. My contacts and calendar are in outlook. My pictures are in a file on my computer. My music is on my computer. I don't know where my apps are (they were shown in itunes the last time I had my old phone plugged in).
So, the apple guy told me that he wouldn't restore the phone from back up, but i'm not exactly sure if that means I should reinstall itunes or just leave it as it is and set up my phone as a new device. Any thoughts?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you don't have a backup that is reliable, but all the components are there on your computer, I would start from scratch and set it up as a new iOS device.

IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.

Giving my wife my 3G and activating/syncing my new 3GS - sequence questions

I would like help understanding the proper sequence of actions i need to do to successfully pull this off. Here's what my goals are:
I want to give my current 3G, which is synced to my iTunes, to my wife with a blank slate. She has a seperate iTunes account and would like to take the empty 3G and sync it with her account.
Of course, i also need to transfer all the contents of the 3G to my new 3GS before i do this. Then i want to sync up my new 3GS to my iTunes and....well, you get the picture.
I am confused and anxious about getting all this right...authorizing, de-authorizing, restoring, syncing, etc. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, here you go...
First, ensure you have a good backup of your 3G on your iTunes account. Next, sync your new 3GS and when it connects you'll be asked to add a new phone or restore to a previous backup... choose your 3G backup and wait for the restore to complete. Once completed you'll then need to re-sync all your content (music, videos, audiobooks, apps, etc) to the new phone. Once all that is done your 3GS should look just like to 3G did and all your settings, texts, etc. should be intact.
Then wipe the 3G by going to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. Once this is complete the phone will be ready for syncing with your wife's iTunes account on her PC.
BTW, this is exactly what I did since I gave my former 3G to my wife who has her own PC and iTunes account. It all worked flawlessly.

3gs stuck at Apple Logo, only on car charger

I bought a used iphone 3gs
Girl said it was dropped in water, she dried it for a few days in rice, and it will turn on.. but as soon as you remove the cable it turns off. Battery right? So I buy it from her, plug it into my iphone 4 rapid carger and nothing.... I get out my standard iphone charger that I have, and as soon as I plug it in it the logo shows up. So I called the girl.. does it actually turn on, I ask her.... she says yes.. after 20 min it wont turn on.
I pugged it in 3 different chargers, and docking stations---- Nothing
I connect it to cable to computer, it doesn't turn on, Itunes does not open and the comptuer doesn't regonize there is a device.
I brought it back out to the car and plugged it in and the apple logo comes on again
The wall and docking station are 1.0 amp chargers
The car charger is a dual usb charger, if I recall its 1.0 each slot.... it charges ipods, touches 3 and 4 and my iphone 4
When I plug it into the dockign station, its almost like I hear a faint clicking noise
Thats all the details I can think about for this problem
It seems like quite the task to take out the battery, and put in a new one... I wanted it as a touch ipod for my bedroom that would simply stay on the charger.
Thanks!

If none of those work, use all of these:

1 new 3GS, 1 older 2GS, 2 different iTunes account. How to combine" it all?

Greetings,
I just purchased a new 3Gs and still have my old 2G. My primary phone is the 3Gs. I have my son tryout the older 2Gs in the meantime. He want to check out apps especially. I still have all my original apps on the 2G (have NOT cleared the phone). Of course at this time without ATT activation (the 2G still has its original simcard though)
Here is what we want to do for now; I will label the options for clarity:
1. I use my 3Gs with my own iTunes account on my own Mac - I want to have son use the 2G/w-o activation on his own PC +with my iTunes account+ (he already has iTunes installed on his Win machine, and has his own account). Possible?
2. I use my 3Gs with my own Tunes account on my Mac - I want to have son use the 2G/w-o activation on his own PC *with his own already installed iTunes account.* possible?
It seems that I had read that iTunes EITHER allows for several devices (phones for example) on ONE account, OR that a iPhone can "tap" into more than one iTunes account besides the one it has been primarily used (registered) for.
Thank you for any advice!
- Roger T

Yes, you can do this. You can share your iTunes songs and apps with up to 4 additional computers. You must go into iTunes on the additional computer and authorize that computer by putting in your iTunes Apple ID and password. Be sure to log out and have him log back in when you are finished.
You can transfer apps by going into your iTunes, right-click on the App and select Reveal in Finder. Then drag the app to a thumb drive.
Plug the thumb drive into a USB port on your Son's computer and drag the app to the same folder in his iTunes.
Hint: the app will not show up in his iTunes until you double click it.

Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode. Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times. Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo. I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either. Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

Update: I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account. None of these did anything for me. I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.

Setting Up New 3GS - Dilemma! Help Please!

I got my new 3GS from Orange today.
My previous iPhone was a factory unlocked 3G from Italy running on Orange.
I inserted my new SIM card, plugged the phone into my iMac and completed registration via iTunes.
I have not actually activated my SIM card with Orange because they're closed until 08:00 tomorrow but the 'phone is "operational" because the on-slider is there, all the icons are there and my 'phone number is shown correctly in iTunes.
Here's the bit that worries me:
In iTunes the page states: "An iPhone has previously been synced with this computer". It then gives me 2 options: (1) Set up as a new iPhone. (2) Restore from the back up of Joe Bloggs iPhone.
I want all the features that come with a "legal" iPhone contract, I want to keep my original 'phone no. which I've had since 1996 and I would prefer not to lose all of my calendars, contacts, purchased applications etc.
Which of steps 1 and 2 above do I select and do I need to still activate my SIM card with Orange?

Restore from your backup & you should be fine.

Format bold text in field and putting some text on new line - Help!

I am lost. I found the rich text formating item to click. But after that, I don't know what to do next. I want to bold some characters and I want some reponses on separate lines as I asked previously. As to spans and the commands - I have no programming experience. I have just been using what George has given me. It has worked well, but I just need the bold text in some of the field text to be printed and I need some items to be on separate lines. But I have no idea where to put the information you are saying about spans and I do not know the script to use to bold text or to start text on new line. Am I to insert it in the calculation box of the text box? Sorry to be so lame, but I am void in programming skills. Help!
For example, here is the script. In aISOreq{0], if I want to bold "Patter#1 Check:", where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to bold it.   Could you give me an example, please. Also, if I want to put "a. Medications on weekend?" on one line and "b. Activities on weekends? Types of activities? Supervision? With who?" on the next line, where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to put on separate lines? Could you give me an example for this also, please. I have literally just used the scripts George has given me and they work great - but that is all I know how to do. Thanks.

Look at the reference of the richValue property of the Field object. It contains a couple of examples of how it should be done. Also read the reference of the Span object.

Which iOS version on a new 3Gs?

I'm looking at buying a new 3Gs in one week and was wondering which version of iOS it will come with. I've been reading about the Wifi troubles with version 4, so I'm hoping it comes with 3.x and I can just avoid upgrading until the issues are resolved. Thanks!

Hello Deepak,
thank you for your helpful answer.
I´ve downloaded the latest MaxDB (7.8.02.27) from SAP SWDC.
As i wrote a detailed and good installation manual would be nice, since there are some new options in 7.8.
(e.g. private data path(?) and i would understand a little bit what i´m doing.
Thank and Best Regards

Backing up 3G so I can put apps and content on my new 3Gs

Hi, I will be getting a new 3GS soon and I was told by the at&t salesperson I can back up my current 3G on my itunes so when I get my new 3GS I can add all the content:music, apps, contacts and so on. Can someone please tell me how to back up my current 3G so I can do this when I get the 3GS???
Thanks,
BILL

You are already doing this when your sync your existing iPhone with iTunes.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone, which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process - if any of the data on your iPhone that is included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
Your iPhone's backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in your iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.
All your iTunes content - music, video, podcasts, and 3rd party apps should be available/remain in your iTunes library on your computer.
Photos in your iPhone's camera roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contact info and calendar events are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 for contact info and calendar events, or with the address book used by Windows Mail (Windows Contacts) for contact info only.
When you connect your iPhone 3GS to your computer and iTunes the first time, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for your iPhone 3G to your iPhone 3GS. After the backup is transferred, you must sync your iPhone 3GS with iTunes to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps from your iTunes library, and the same for any photos you have selected to be transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

Has Anyone Across this Nation Received their new 3GS Yet???

Has anyone received their new 3Gs Iphone yet. I presume everyone will get them at random times throughout the day, with the East Coast possible being first because of the working hours for the deliverers. Found out mine is actually coming by FEDEX and some have told me theirs will be coming by USPS. So can someone who first receives a phone please let the rest of us know? Thanks!

Hi,
It's approx. 9:45 AM here in Virginia and I have a black 32G 3Gs in hand. I'm so hapy with it! It's my first iphone. I went to my local Apple store and waited approx. an hour in line and paying the $300 was worth everything! I just love it!!!
All the basic features seem to be working OK. I can surf the web and I was able to jump on my local home network; it found it and automatically asked if I wanted to join it. Loaded some apps.: Sirus/XM - incidentally, Howard Stern doesn't seem to be on the available. I'll have to investigate more on this. It'll be a bummer if he's not accessible on iphone sirius. The camera and video works great. The Apple staff at the retail store here in Fairfax, VA's Fair Oaks Mall were great! It was painless and they were very accomdating. They even served coffee and bottled water and some fruit bars while were waiting in line. Go Apple Go! What a beautiful puiece of machinery. Everyone good luck. Goodbye Verizon.
