TS1702 iTunes freezes on my iPhone 3GS - and I can't reinstall it!
ITunes launches ok but freezes whenever I try to view any albums, podcasts or other content.
And I can't reinstall it as that doesn't seem to be an option.
Have you tried closing the iTunes app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

i have an iphone 3gs and i can't load facebook because it says i need os 4.3 or higher but i have 4.2.1
If you're using an iPhone 3G, you can't use the current version of that application.
If you're using an iPhone 3GS, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it.

Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1. First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

If you continue to get the message that iTunes is up to date, you can download the latest version of iTunes here:

Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.

Hey Nathan,
I know it can be a bit frustrating to try to get a version of an application that will work on an older iOS version. This article explains how to do it -

I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions
An iPad and iPhone cannot connect via Bluetooth unless you are trying to use a Personal Hotspot feature on your iPhone or have one of the few third-party apps that allow limited file transfer or device-to-device gaming. Unless you're attempting one of these, then any previous "pairing" was probably illusory. If you are trying to use such a thing, tell us which one and someone may be able to provide suggestions.

I updated my iPhone 3GS and i can't activate my phone
I updated my iPhone 3GS and i can't activate my phone
You can try, but despite what they'll tell you in the jailbreaking community, restoring the device does NOT always return the phone to factory condition, especially if the modem baseband has been altered. The vast majority of users have bricked their phones and have been left high and dry by the jailbreaking community.

Itunes 7.3 does not open and i can't reinstall older versions
the software upgrade made me download the last itunes version but it does not open (apparently i have an old version of macosx) and since then i can not use itunes. the old versions do not install. how could i reinstall itunes on my computer
ayeee! I'm in exactly the same place: I am stuck with a new download of iTunes 7.3, which I cannot open.
And I'm scared: if i download the upgrade on the operating system, will i LOSE all my tunes from iTunes -- or are they hidden somewhere? (they better not be lost, or i'll cry a river!0
i'm on a powerbook 10.4.6 ...
and this whole stupid thing only happened because i couldn't get vids i'd bought to play on my iTunes... so i followed the instructions to upgrade my quicktime player ... and once i HAD upgraded my quicktime player (for $30!!!) i couldn't use it, cause my operating system was old (as in: i bought this computer 9 months ago!)... and so then i thought, "gee, maybe if i uprade my iTunes, the expensive new quicktime pro will work, and i can actually see the videos I bought!"
it's like a giant catch-22.... ayeeeee! help! -

I am pretty sure my login information is correct because i see my previous backup on the phone. Any idea's what might cause this?
If you get the message "Backup not successful", I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup. If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup. Keep doing that until the backup works. Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail. For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups. -
Can you shuffle a single playlist when using iphone 3GS and nike+?
Ok...can't seem to figure this out. Been using the nano 4g with nike plus and I can set the playback mode to shuffle on the ipod... when I start a work out with nike plus and select my "running" playlist, it retains the shuffle - meaning it shuffles the songs of that single playlist.
Started using my iphone 3gs and I can't figure out how to set the playback of a SINGLE playlist to shuffle (I see the option for shuffle across ALL playlists) but I only want my "running" playlist to shuffle.
Am I missing something?
thanks...Never mind... found the answer... thanks to Matt kennedy:
Nike+ and the iPod functionality of your 3Gs are both apps which are capable of running in the background, per se. Start your iPod app, shuffle the playlist of your choice and THEN start the Nike+ app. When you get into your workout, select "now playing." This will stick with your shuffled songs. -
I have Windows Vista and my iTunes is v10.5, I have and iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. Everytime i try to update my phone to iOS5 it stops on Backing up and freezes. What can i do? Do i need t upgrade my phones on a Mac? Please help it would be greatly appreciated.
Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.
