Trying to use old Iphone with IOS 3.1.3 as Ipod
My kids are trying to use an old Iphone Gen 1 as a Ipod. We have successfully loaded music, but now of course they want games. All games need a newer version of IOS. Can I upgrade somehow? Itunes says the IOS is up to date with no opportunity to upgrade.
My kids will thank you!!!
Well they are apps and games in the app store which are supported with the iPhone 3G or iOS 3.1.3. Old games of course. BTW remove the sim so your kids cannot make phone calls and send SMS.

Are you sure you have a 3GS and not a 3G? The 3G cannot be updated to iOS5. What version are you on now?... Settings > General > About > Version

I am trying to use my shuffle with a logitech meant for an ipod. It wont charge
I need an adapter to use a ipod shuffle on a logitech speaker system which was designed for an original ipod. Does anyone know where I CAN FIND ONE?. what is the model of the adapter?
We are starting from the beginning like its a new ipod starts out asking language, country,location services,choose a network,and when we get to "setup ipod touch " there are 3 options 1..setup as new ipod, 2.restore from ipod backup 3 restore from itunes backup and when we hit setup as new ipod and click next it comes up with sign in with apple id or create a free apple id we clicked create a free apple id....then comes up with bday,1st name last name, use your current email address, get a free icloud email address or change email address and THIS is where we have problems....if we hit change email address it means that sis's stuff goes under his name and moves all her stuff to this older ipod which the brother does not want. sorry this is so long but its the only way I knew to do it.

Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining. -
I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?
Because I cannot update the software until I chose if I want to begin with a new phone setting or download a backup.
But the backup is of course not compatible with the old iOS.
So will it be possible to get the new iPhone going, then do the software update to 8.3 and then download / use the data from
my 4S icloud backup?1. Settings > General > Software Update > Update the to 8.3
2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
3. Reactivate phone and follow prompts to restore iCloud (or iTunes) backup. -

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"
Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup". -
Hi, Im from Philippines,.... i am currently using my iPhone 4 (iOs.6.3)it started when i upgrade it from iOs4 to iOs 6.3 , My iPhone doesnt identify numbers even if its in my contact if its not starting with +63 ..what will i do?
I change everything into +63 and i thought everything is already fine,.. and then now , i dont know what happened why it doesnt recognize numbers with +63 anymoreHello hsielglad,
Thank you for your question. iTunes 11.1 is required to update to and sync with iOS 7. If you are still running iTunes 10.6.3, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.
iTunes: How to install the latest version
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5654
If you continue to get the message that iTunes is up to date, you can download the latest version of iTunes here:
Download iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.
Best,

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?
You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

I am trying to restore my iphone 4 ios 6 to acheive unlock. hit restore and it unloads software, confirms with apple then displays the 3194 error. I have turned off my virus scanner, unplugged all usb except for iphone, edited the hosts file and run diagnostics which showes communication with apple is fine. What do I need to do to get my ipone to restore?
There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery. -
I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes.
I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes. Apparently I cannot downgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone. Please tell me I don't have to pay anything to be able to use my products......
Which version of iTunes?
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Unless this is a new iPhone 5 I believe the older ones will work with iOS6 and iTunes 10.6.3. If it won't, you will need to upgrade operating system version. -

The Kindle reader requires iOS 7. If you have an older version of it you can still install it, but if you don't there is no way to get the older version.

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod? Or is there some ap?
Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack. -
