  • I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

    I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.

    I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

  • IOS 4 update on 3GS: Album Artwork/author/title missing in some places

    Okay, I just updated my 3GS to iOS4 with no dramas, except for the iPod app.
    Basically, in Albums mode:
    - any album that wasn't from the iTunes Store (i.e. a CD rip) doesn't display its album artwork thumbnail, either in the list view or the new album summary info panel shown above the track listing when you click the album
    - in addition, the new album summary panel shows “Unknown Artist” and “Unknown Album” even though the page before (the full Albums list) did in fact show the artist and album title
    - however, clicking on a track will in fact show the correct album artwork while the track is playing
    In addition, in Cover Flow mode:
    - not only do the above affected albums also appear with no artwork,
    - but also clicking on them shows *no tracks* at all (whereas they do show up in Albums mode and are successfully playable).
    What the?! Anyone else found this? Seems to affect both MP3 and AAC ripped formats (and btw they are legal imports of my own CDs).

    I have a similar problem. All of my music won't show the album artwork, and some will even show artwork of a Genius Mix. I rotate to Cover Flow, and everything seems fine there; all of the artwork shows up and the songs are all there. But once I flip to portrait and the Now Playing screen, that artwork disappears and I'm left with that prosaic gray musical note or an ugly Genius Mix artwork with four of my original artworks arranged in a 2-by-2 grid. I set iTunes so that it wouldn't sync my music anymore, synced my iPod, turned music back on, and then synced my iPod again, essentially removing music and putting it back on my device, as the abovementioned suggests.

  • Updated my 3gs to 5.0.1 and my battery life has gone from 1.5 days   to less than half a day with no Apps open - how can I roll this back to 5.0 until a fix comes out?

    Since updating my 3GS to 5.0.1 my iphone battery has gone, overnight, from 1.5 days + (with multiple open Apps) to less than half a day to completely discharge from 100%.
    I desperately need to roll this install back to 5.0 but there are no resources on the internet (or this site) which indicate how I would do that.
    Please help.

    You cannot and should not go back to 5.0.
    A fix is coming soon

  • After updating my 3gs to ios 5.0.1, I can not restore my phone from my pc. It says session failed. It appears to be a backup available.

    After updating my 3gs to ios5.0.1, I can not restore my phone. It says session failed after about 20 seconds. It appears to be a restore point available. What should I do?

    Hi all,
    I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
    - Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
    - Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
    - Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
    - Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
    This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
    Thanks
    Keith

  • I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

    I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

    sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

  • Updating iphone 3gs to ios 5, is it safe or will i have issues?

    I've been weary about updating my iphone 3gs from ios 4 (4.3.5 to be exact) to the new ios 5.  I didn't have a problem sitting on an older update untill my phone started acting up and the only thing to do to fix it is to do a restore.  itunes is forcing me to update in order to restore (didn't used to do that untill the new itunes update came out a while back...makes me angry) therefore causing a bit of concern with me.  I do recall how the 3G acted when the ios 4 came out, and my worry is will the iphone 3Gs do something simmilar or worse.  What are the experiances you guys have had with it, both good and bad, I'm curious.  Also is it a good idea to update the 3gs to the ios 5 or not.

    Hi I updated my 3 gs without any problem a d it works fine my wife now has it since I got my 4S

  • How do I update my 3GS to iOS 5?

    How do I update my 3GS to iOS 5? I've tried the update on iTunes but it says my phone is up-to-date with version 4.2.1

    That suggests you have an iPhone 3G, not a 3GS, which can't run an iOS version newer than 4.2.1. If you're sure you're using an iPhone 3GS, ensure that iTunes is up to date.

  • I updated my 3GS to the ISO 5.1.1 .  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?

    Hi all,
    I updated my 3GS to the ISO 5.1.1 .  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?
    Appreciate for your guide amd help.

    All apps should be in your iTunes library along with all other iTunes content that was on the iPhone.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer.
    Notes can be synced with a supported app on your computer as well.
    Contacts and notes are included with your iPhone's backup but not any iTunes content which should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Your iPhone's backup should have been updated as the first step during the update process. If the backup was not restored, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from that backup.

    If the Edit button is missing and you have enabled iCloud, check Settings>iCloud, set Contacts to ON.
