TomTom 730 and iPhone 3GS

Hi and Happy New Year to One & All,
Does anyone know how to set up my iPhone 3GS to work with my TomTom 730 so I can use the Data input from TomTom because at the moment I can't get my live traffic updates whilst on a long run, TomTom keeps telling me "Function Not Supported", only at this present time it's costing me nearly £30.00 a year for nothing, I do hope someone has got the answer for me please.
All the Best,
Steve

Hi again,
Just tried everything with this iPhone 3GS to establish a data connection and all to no avail so I'm afraid it's back to O2 in the morning to cancel my contract, then I'll go back to my trusty old Nokia N95 8GB, I had no problem re-establishing a data connection with it, nice phone Apple just not up to the job though.
So this is the last time I'll be on these forums, Bye All.
All the Best,
Steve

New HH3 - Issues with Kodak Printer and iPhone 3GS

Hello,
Here is the background:
Previously had a D-Link DSL-G624M router and everything connected wirelessly. This included 2 laptops, Kodak ESP 5250 Printer and iPhone 3GS. Router broadcasting on channel 6 (locked).
Since upgrading to Infinity replaced the D-Link with a HH3. Laptops connect fine but have issues with other wireless devices.
iPhone: Seems to lose internet (not necessarily wireless connection though) intermittently. The phone remains connected to the HH3 and can be seen in the DHCP table and Home Network screens. The iPhone also reports that it is connected to the HH3. However, when attempting to access the internet using either Safari or apps it doesn't work. This can be fixed by forgetting the network and re-joining or turning Airplane Mode on and then off.
Kodak ESP5250 Printer: This connects fine to the HH3 and remains in the DHCP table and Home Network with the correct IP Address. Laptop A is able to connect and print successfully. However, after putting the laptop into sleep mode and re-waking it it is unable to Print. The Printer is still connected to the HH3 and laptop claims it is 'Ready' but unable to print. The only way i have found to fix this is to re-install the entire Printer software!! However, Laptop B does not have this problem and can be put into Sleep mode, Hibernate or restart and the printer remain connected. I do not think it is a firewall issue as able to connect until re-waking from sleep.
You're probably thinking the same as me that this sounds like hardware issues and not the HH3. Maybe coincidence that it started happening after changing to HH3. Maybe something wrong with the iPhone or Laptop A and/or Printer?!? Tried setting a manual channel on the HH3 as suggested by other posts but this had no effect. (Used inSSIDer to determine best channel). Also increased the IP Address lease time from 1 Day to 21 Days - but again no difference.
Current situation: Connected the D-Link router to the HH3 using Ethernet cable. Disabled DHCP and DNS on the D-Link router and kept SSID different. Now connected all devices to the D-Link router and nothing to the HH3 and everything is working as it did previously. The iPhone remains stable and the Kodak printer remains connected to both Laptops after re-waking from Sleep Mode.
I haven't yet contacted BT but i'm leaning towards it being a dodgy HH3. Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks,
Martyn...

For starters, there's nothing wrong with your Iphone or Kodak prn. The issue is the HH3
I had a very similar issue connecting iMac, iPad, Macbook Pro, iPhone, Thinkpad and Canon prn via wireless to the HH3... Lots of disconnections, devices that couldn't log in, very low wireless speeds, printer not recognized, etc,etc
I went mad, pretty much did the same things as you did: inSSIDer, changing channels, re-installing whole softw drv !, reorientating HH3 position, manually assigning IPs and channels... nothing would seem to work!
Then I connected a Netgear router to HH3 via ethernet cable -like you did- and suddenly everything seemed to go back to normal. Here's what I found out after much head knocking:
1) The issue is the HH3, not that it's faulty but simply put it can't deal with lots of wireless traffic. The minute you connect several devices it gets clogged up
2) HH3 seem not to recognize WiFI printers that have a 'static' IP (not sure why)... this was a nightmare
3) if you have many devices connected, HH3 doesn't seem to 'like' Apple devices or wifi Airport powered (not sure why). After sleep mode these device can't pick up IP over the air, and you need to manually renew DHCP leases. There are several reports about this in Apple forums.
So here's what I did:
1) I ditched the HH3
2) I connected the Openreach router to a dual-band Netgear wndr3400 **cable** router (PPPoE connection)
3) I re-installed the prn drv in USB mode and then added wifi printer in wifi mode while usb connected
4) I created two-split WIFI networks; one in the channel 6/2.4Ghz frequency and another in the channels 44-48/5Ghz freq to which I assigned most devices (It seems BT Infinity wifi works best in 5Ghz channels)
Results: all devices recognised & connected via WiFI, no disconnections, steady WIFI speed almost as fast as ethernet cable, wifi prn prints fine from all devices... No more WIFI connnectivity issues.
I hope this helps, good luck
(note: my current issue is that my profile dropped from 34/8 to 21/2 during testing phase)

ICloud with os lion 10.5.8 and IPhone 3Gs

What a pain in the A**. Is there anyone out there that can assist me? I would soooooo appreciate the feedback. Not sure if its fully functional with this combination. (ICloud, Lion 10.5.8, IPhone 3Gs) I dont want MobileMe. I have an Mac email. I have the Iphone 3Gs with all of the updates. I just downloaded ICloud to my MAC itunes to get some of my music off the hard drive and free up space. When I synced my IPhone through ITunes, I am not able to look at my photos, emails etc (gmail etc). Its says I need to sign in with correct password? Ive put in the correct passwords? I used the password that I use on my mac (which works fine) but doesn't work on IPhone? Crazy. I authorized my Itunes, with no luck of finding the area to adding the IPhone either? Does anyone know if its compatible? I do have an upgrade to Snow Lepoard, (that I have not upgraded to yet) but was reading in the forum, thats its not compatible with ICloud and IPhone 3Gs?
Any one that can help would be so greatly appreciated!

Mac OSX 10.5 is Tiger, not Lion. iCloud is not supported on Tiger AFAIK unless you login to iCloud.com. I still run Snow Leopard (which you should probably upgrade to), and iCloud is basically useless for me. The whole reason we have iPhones is so we DON'T have to stay connected to Wi-fi 99% of the time to enjoy iOS services right? lol
If your passwords don't work, you may just want to reset them, so then both your iPhone and Mac will recognize them.

After updating iTunes and iPhone 3gs AppleMobileDeviceService.exe initializes and takes up 50% of CPU

After updating iTunes and iPhone 3gs AppleMobileDeviceService.exe has been taking over 50% of my CPU. When i attempt to sync my iPhone iTunes hanges on backing up. I have uninstalled all the apple software and reintalled it. This fixed the problem until QuickTime updated. Immediately following the update Apple...Services.exe went haywire agian. Any help?

Thanks wjosten. I've now been through all this, and there was a lot of old 3d party phone stuff to remove.
However, I have not progressed really. Any other thoughts on this please?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up. You can't use the FIndMyiPhone app on the iPod since the app requires iOS 7
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

IPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS won't connect wirelessly at home when PCs are off.

Dear Apple.com,
I have been using iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS wirelessly at home no problems.
I use a MAC filter on an unsecured wireless network. Only entered MAC addresses can connect wirelessly.
However, when I turn off all the PCs at home the iPhone find the wireless network and show connected, but cannot browse websites.
The router Linksys WRT610N is always on, so the wireless connection and permission for the iPhone MAC addresses to access the wireless connection should work?
Any ideas?

Is your router a model that supports a/b/g/n? If you turn off N will it work? If your N is setup at 40MHz slots it may not work as well. Can you take your wireless router somewhere else for testing? I assume you might have some issue where you are at with your Mac and that router. When you open Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info../Network/Airport does it show your network there? From a working machine can you see your Mac from your router web interface? FYI if your router was an Apple product(Airport Express or Airport Extreme/Time Capsule) you could see all your wireless clients via the Airport Utility, even signal strength and connection speed...

Strange problem with how my iPhone (4S) sees a friend who recently moved his number from his old network and device to a new network and iPhone 3GS

This is a weird one, so bear with me.
My friend recently got an iPhone 3GS with a new SIM in it (3 network in the UK). I helped him set up the iPhone and got iMessage working between my mobile and his temporary number (07429...)
In my Contacts I had two separate phone numbers for him: 07903... (his old number, on an old Sony Ericsson mobile with T-Mobile UK) and 07429... (the number that came with the 12-month contract I purchased for him; we called this his "temporary" number).
His old number (07903...) was transfered over to his iPhone with no problems. His iPhone has worked flawlessly.
But since that day I've had some really strange behaviour on my iPhone (a 4S, also on 3 UK): I removed his temporary number (07429...) from my contacts. But now when I try to text him at the old number (07903...) it bounces back at me as if the number doesn't exist. But if I try to text him at the temporary number (07429...) it works just fine and in my contacts and within Messages it appears as an iMessage-connect number.
So I tried deleting everything and starting from scratch. Still the same behaviour.
No one else is having this problem with him. I can call his old number (07903) just fine, I just can't text it.
I'm guessing that there's something with the way Contacts works with iMessage that's caused the problem. It's as if my contacts have updated properly under-the-hood (iMessage *does* work just not with the right number).
And yes, when I (or anyone) tries calling the temporary number (07429...) it's out of service. Which is correct. So it's not simply a case of *both* numbers being active.
So this is very peculiar.
In typing up this message it occured to me that I ought to try creating an all-new contact with some slight change in the name fields (e.g. include the middle initial) and see if I can get it to work properly. Then I ought to be able to change the name field (or just leave it alone, touch wood!).
Thanks in advance for reading this far. It's difficult to explain this problem succintly!
Cheers,
Carey

I've fixed my own problem.
In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks for reading, if you did.

No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
My last Problem is:
There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
Is this a known Bug?
Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
Thank you very much for your Help!

Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing. I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer. Apple, fix this now!!!

Woke up this morning and iPhone 3GS had reset itself and powered off!!

So I got up this morning and picked up my iPhone 3GS and discovered that it had powered off. Strange.
I turned it on and it asked me to plug it into iTunes to reset and restore it!!! What in the &#$#!??!
The real ****** is that I lost some very important notes that did not get synced before the phone died. Thanks a lot Apple. You have made me look like an _ss.
There is nothing to indicate why this happened. I did nothing different and had not installed anything.
I am on iPhone OS 3.1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1
Argh!!

I seem to have somehow solved this
So this is what I did
turn off / re-power up
Reset all settings
check emails - no change
went to one of my email accounts (as I have multiple emails) and turned off the main one of the SMTP server
it then worked
No doubt I will be back here again when it fails again
(as obviously there is something in IOS5 triggering this)

ICloud; iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS...

Anyone who knows tips/ suggestions for iCloud, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS and applications for when I start school in February; it would really help. I'll be studying psychology and sociology, I need some good applications for school. I also need some help using iCloud properly, thanks!

A LOT of open ended stuff there. If you are close to an AppleStore (I thought there was one there) I would set up an appiintment with a Genius at the store and have them help you thru it all. Those workshops are actually quite incredible. If that is not an option the "use" videos on the support site rock as well.
Good Luck in school!

IPad Camera Connection Kit and iPhone 3GS

I just got home with a Camera Connection kit and while it works with an iPhone 4 and even with an old iPhone 3G I had lying around, it doesn't work with my iPhone 3GS, giving me a "The attached accessory uses too much power" error. Both the iPad and the iPhone work normally (and the iPhone's warranty expired 5 months ago). I have already tried to reset settings, reboot both the iPad and the iPhone and still couldn't getit to work. Is there anything I need to know to make it work with the 3GS running 4.2.1?

Here are some picturres of what is happening. If it works with the iPhone 3G and the 4, it should work with the 3GS as well...
3GS connected:

Why iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS doesn't have Panorama mode?

I just wanted to use it on my iPhone 3GS, now I'll have to buy an iPhone 5 to use all the features... It's sad

I believe it's because the processing power of those devices isn't sufficient enough to power that feature and provide a pleasurable experience for user.
The 3GS is almost 4 yrs old now... that's an ancient artifact in techonology terms.

IMovie HD, iPhoto and iPhone 3GS

I transferred a video clip I took with my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto 5.0.2 and then dropped it into iMovie HD 5.0.2 to delete the audio.
Now what is the best way to get the clip back into iPhoto and on to my iPhone? iMove HD Help Menu tells how to transfer a movie clip into an iPod; would using that procedure work?

Closing question.

Wireless keyboard and iPhone 3GS

I am looking to buy an Apple wireless keyboard to hook up to my iPhone 3GS, but will it link via Bluetooth?

YES IT WILL WORK.
I know because I do it.
I don't know where Barry Hemphill got his info. I originally bought the Apple Bluetooth keyboard so I could run a home theater Mac from across the room. When I got my iPhone 3GS, it was already known that the iPhone officially supported the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. When I tried to pair them, it worked, and it's worked ever since. And it works with my iPad as well. I understand that non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards also work.
I took the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with me on a trip once where I knew I didn't need my laptop, but I wanted to type out some longer emails. It worked great, and was much less painful than long-form text entry on the iPhone keyboard.
The key to using the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with an iPhone or iPad is knowing about holding down the power switch on the side, so you can turn it off. This prevents unintended keystrokes from waking up an iPhone or iPad during transport.
Here is the official Apple tech note. The iPhone 3GS is listed.
