sounds like your phone was jailbroken. If this is the case, you're hosed.

trying to restore the ipad to original settings and getting "the device isn't eligible for the requested build"
I've updates OS on Mac, updated itunes, no security issues
Any ideas?

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Using an iPhone wall charger for the iPod is fine. You can also use an iPhone cable for the iPod.
The term " iphone's charge battery" is not really clear.

Do the life proof cases for the iPhone 5 also work for the 5s?

Do the life proof cases for the iPhone 5 also work for the 5s or are the cases different for the 5s?
Thanks!

Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

Ensuring the iPhone isn't connected to the internet

Hello,
I have recently bought an iPhone.
I have managed to connect it to my home Wi-Fi network and it accesses the internet without any problems.
This is fine for home use, but I don't want to access the internet while out-and-about. I notice the user guide mentions that the iPhone will try Wi-Fi first, search for other Wi-Fi's second, and then try my Phone carrier last.
My questions are as follows:
1) Will the iPhone confirm that I want a connection with the internet via my phone carrier Before it actually connects?
2) When I do connect via the phone carrier, how can I ensure that the connection has been properly disconnected when I have finished? The phone always displays 3G whether it is actually using the internet or not or just connected to the phone carrier.
3) Is there a way to disable the iPhone connecting to the internet via the phone carrier without disabling normal phone functions or the Wi-Fi home network option?
I have a simple data package, and don't plan to connect that often unless I'm using a wireless network. As my data package is only small I want to limit accidental use, hence why I want to ba e=able to ensure I know when I am and am not connected ot the internet.
For thos of you in Australia, I'm using Telstra and the 3G network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Leon.

If you don't select the iPhone's Mail application or any other application that requires internet access while connected via the cellular network, you won't have internet access or data transfer but you will have an internet connection if wanted or needed, which cannot be turned off.
Hi Allan,
Thanks. Your answer above seems to already put my fears at ease.
No problem with having internet connection always available so that I can have it when I need it. I don't want to turn that off. Just wanted to make sure that as long as I don't use any applications that require internet connection, I don't get connected to the cellular network internet/data transfer and thus unknowingly eat up my free data hours. And, when I do use apps that do require internet connection, the connection/data transfer will automatically cease once I simply exit the apps.
Sometimes with such high tech products, I still have the need for something basic and outright such as -- 'disconnect from internet?' to ensure that I am really disconnected and not loosing my free hours... and worse of all, getting charged for use over the free hours!

We used the same id for her phone an sisters iPod now everything goes to her phone is there anyway to change it on the iPhone and keep it for the iPod

We set up the iPhone with the same Apple ID an password is there anyway to change if on the iPhone am still keep it for the ipod

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

HT201328 i already unlucked my iphone 3GS with at&t but when i restore the iphone keep asking me for the activation plz help

hello m i just unlucked my iphone 3GS with AT&T , but when i restored my iphone it keep asking me for the activation what i can do ?
note : i dont have the at&t sim

You need to put a sim card into the phone to be able to activate it - you can't activate a phone without a sim card.
If the phone has just been unlocked, then you don't need an AT&T sim card. Just put any sim card of your choice into the phone and if it is now unlocked, then it should work.

Will the iPhone 3GS be eligible for the next IOS?

I was wondering anyones opinions whether the iPhone 3gs would be able to handle the next ios after ios 6 ?
Any opinions welcome thanks!

No one said you were speculating, but to answer your question would require speculation.
The only idiot here is the one that asks others to violate the terms of use by answering a question that none of us are privy to the answers to.
