Upgrade to iOS5 makes my 3Gs unresponsive.

After upgrading to iOS 5 on my 3GS the iPhone often does not wake up from sleep (trying both the on-off switch and the home button). Sometimes the screen is just while and if I get it to respond, I can see I have received an SMS. Any ideas what's wrong?
I have reset it a number of times and the last time I only used iCloud data as setup and very limited extra APPs. Same result.

I solved the problem by deleting my music library and re-syncing. Go to owner's iphone in itunes and click the summary tab. Under options click manually manage music to remove your library from the iphone. Then click sync only checked songs and re-sync. That worked for me. Very disappointing that Apple could not provide this information.

    That typically indicates a problem with your VBScript. See the following troubleshooting article:
    iTunes and QuickTime for Windows cannot be installed without Visual Basic Script (VBScript)

  • Upgrade to iOS4 makes my 3GS think there are no songs.

    hi,
    I upgraded my 3GS last night and noticed when I go to the iPod -> Songs it is empty.
    However if I go to Artists or select a playlist all my songs are there. I can actually play them but cannot view all or shuffle all songs etc.
    And if I go to Settings and Usage, it tells me there are 0 songs as well.
    Any way I can fix this?

  • Stanza and my videos no longer work after upgrade to iOS5?

    I upgraded to iOS5 on my 3GS.
    Problem 1:Now Stanza just hangs and I get a null error. The books are also gone from iBooks (They both had the same titles - I use Stanza to read at night because of the night view option.) I imagine this has something to do with Newstand. Can anyone offer any advice.
    Problem 2 : I have a large collection of old 1950's TV shows that are in MP4 format. I keep a few on my iPhone for times when I travel and there is nothing on TV. Now when I go to the Videos icon they are listed but are "greyed out" and I can not click on them. The old radio shows work fine in Music (formerly Ipod) but the videos will not work. I am sure this is not a DRM issue because they are in the public domain and free to download at the Library of Congress. I have not yet tried a purchased video, though so this could be it. Can anyone offer any help for me. I am just an old retired guy struggling with new technology!
    Thanks,
    Jim in WV

    There is a new Stanza update in the App store.  Version 3.2 dated 11/10/11
    The App Store update says "iOS5 compatibility updates"

  • Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

    After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

  • Can't unbrick 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1

    i cannot unbrick my 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1 it is not giving me an option to factory reset. When i hook up with iTunes to unbrick it after 3-4 mion it says there is no SIM card please insert SIM and SIM card is inside phone which i was using before upgrading iOS. please help
    thanks

    Assuming you're still using Telus, I'd say take it into their shop and get a fresh replacement SIM. If it wasn't hacked or jailbroken, that's the most likely explanation. I realize you've tried different ones, but it's worth a shot.
    You might want to try putting it in DFU mode and restoring again as well. If those things don't work, it's probably time for a trip to the Apple Store to have it looked at.

    Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
    If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
    My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
    When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
    If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

  • Since I upgraded to IOS5, my Smart Playlists are in a random order. Since I use it for listening to Talking Books this makes it useless. How can I control the order of a Smart Playlist?

    Since I upgraded to IOS5, my Smart Playlists are in a random order. Since I use it for listening to Talking Books this makes it useless. How can I control the order of a Smart Playlist?

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

  • Help : After upgrade to IOS5, I only can use my iphone 3gs in Spore instead of Msia. Any1 know what is the problem & how to solve it?!

    I bought iphone 3gs in singapore last year,I had no problem to use it in Singapore & Malaysia but after i upgrade to ios5,i can't use it in malaysia.It will automatic restart my phone itself. Is it because of IOS5 problem?!Because when I register my itune a/c, I selected the country is Singapore. Anyone know what is the problem & how can I solve it?!

    If it automatically restarts the phone firmware is corrupt. Restore the phone with iTunes and set up as a new phone, do not restore your backup, which is likely where the corruption is. If it then works you can try restoring just the backup. If that breaks it again you know where the problem is; you will have to start over and manually reinstall your content.
    To restore just the backup, right click on the phone's name in iTunes and select "restore from backup"

    When Im trying to Upgrade from IOS 4.3 to IOS 5 .......after completing the total download of the file (668 MB) it is showing the  Err-3259
    Can any one suggest me the way to Upgrade to IOS5

    I was able to download the file manually, but I had to resume the download 3 times.
    I am using ATT Uverse's DNS. I have also tried Google DNS and OpenDNS in the past.
    None of them have helped with Apple's file download issues.
    Again, this is an Apple issue. I can download large files (> 500mb) from all over the net without issue...except for files from Apple.

  • HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

    Can someone help?  I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

    I have iphone 3 GS.  I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed.  All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone.  It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc.  when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again".  Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up.  Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed.  I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing.  don't know what's wrong with it.
