Upgrade to OS4

Since upgrading my 16gb 3GS to OS4 it keeps freezing any one have any ideas, only way to sort it is to reboot??

Well you can take it one step further. Carefully pop out your Sim card on the top of your iPhone (next to the off button). You will need a small paper clip to do it (should be one that came with your phone). When you put it back in make sure the AT&T logo is up and the gold globe is facing down. The Sim card should easily fit where it sits. If not then you have it on the wrong side. Once in then turn on your phone. It will take a little longer to come up when you take out the card. Hope this resolves your issues.
Be sure to do this on a clean surface.

Upgrade to os4 - A way to get lost information - CONTACTS and TEXTS

I have been spending hours, and hours, trying to figure out what happened to this phone. I upgraded to os4, and when I did, I lost everything (contacts, texts, pics, apps, etc.), eventhough I backed up everything on a weekly basis. Not sure where Apple dropped the ball on this major issue. I have been looking for hours to find a fix. I came across a post that was helpful in finding a way to solve some of my problems, including FINDING MY LOST CONTACTS! I have to manually enter them into my phone again, but at least I have them! Like, me I am sure many of you don't memorize phone numbers anymore. I have just added to a post I found by Somebody2 on another forum (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11831613), as a starter, and added to it, to give more specific directions. I am extremely thankful; to have found this! I am still looking to find a way to get back my lost pictures, but that may be a lost cause. Hopefully this can help some of you out there, like it did me(....sigh of relief). Anyway, here is a way to find those lost contacts and texts:
Here are the main steps, assuming that you did backup your iPhone using iTunes recently:
1. Use the following tutorial to install FireFox with SQLite Manager add-in and point it to your backup folder:
http://www.skyontech.com/blog/iPhone-app-data-access
(**when following these directions, make a copy of the backup folder, and paste it on your desktop to make the overall process a little easier)
**2. Once you have opened SQLite, Click on the options (hammer/screwdriver icon) at the top. Change the "Default file extension for SQLite files" to mddata then click OK. Next, Click on the word "Directory" at the top, just under the menu bar. Then select choose "Select default directory". Choose the most recent folder inside the backup folder you copied to the desktop, then click OK.
**3. Now the more time consuming part (took me at least 30 minutes). Beside the word "Directory" you can now choose files from a drop down menu. The easiest way I found to do this is to click on the 1st one, then click go. You can continue down the list using the arrow key, and click go each time you go to a new file... As you do this, you will see the left side change. Sometime it has nothing (No directory found), and other times there is a list of menus (master table, tables, views, indexes, triggers). I found mine in the 38...range out of the hundreds of files.
**4. Continue to go through the files until you see "ABGroup" under the tables menu as an options (it does not show up under the "master table" menu, just under "tables").
5. Once you have found "ABGroup", Click on the "Execute SQL" tab in the SQLite Manager and copy/paste the following:
====================
SELECT First, Last, Organization, Note, value as Phone FROM ABPerson, ABMultiValue WHERE ABMultiValue.property=3 AND ROWID=record_id ORDER BY First
====================
Then click "Run SQL" button.
You should now see the list of all contacts backed up from your iPhone. You can also highlight all rows with the mouse and the SHIFT key, then right-click and select "Copy Rows as CSV for Excel", then paste them to Excel so that you can print your contacts spreadsheet.
NOTE: You can do the same thing for finding text messages. The only difference, is that you want to look for the word "message" under the tables menu instead of abgroup.
I have never posted here, but this was a HUGE help to me, so I thought I would try to share a more detailed way to get these back. I know it's not easy, but IT WORKS!! I am so relieved, and thanks a lot Somebody2!!!!
If anyone knows how to recover lost pictures, even if it is a process like this, please, please, please post it.

oops...ouch...hard way to learn to always back up your stuff
you "never" backed anything up?? not even an old backup someplace? you really don't have to answer...i'm just feeling your pain. difficult.

Can't sync photos, songs to iPhone 3G after upgrade to OS4

I’m using iPhone 3G. Just restored and upgraded to OS4. All my songs, contacts, calendar could be backup to my iPhone after the upgrade. Then, I downloaded some eBooks with my iPhone. But when I tried to sync the iPhone with iTunes 9.2 one day after the upgrade, no new eBook records shown on iTunes, no calendar updated on Outlook and on photos were sync to iPhone after the backup process. It seems that iTunes only performed backup but no data synchronization was done.
Can anyone help me? I can’t transfer songs, photos to iPhone. Please help. Thanks.

I have a similar, but slightly different issue. Also on an iPhone 3G. Some of my stuff synced, but not all of it. I've got my apps, my contacts, calendar, eBooks, and my pictures, but not my TV shows, movies, music, etc. And when I try to add them back into iTunes (File: Add file to Library), then select them to sync by selecting my iPhone under Devices in iTunes and clicking the Sync Movies box, then selecting the movies I want to sync, and clicking Apply... it says, "The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes Libary. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes Library?"
I don't! And my iPhone is not synced with another iTunes Libary. What can I do?

I've just upgraded my OS4 to OS 5 for ipad2

I've just upgraded my OS4 to OS 5 program and the game is lost.
I downloaded, it is not available. The program I ever bought was a new purchase. This is why your system again. It is a way to come back to do the same.

Play some games back then. I can not access it. There is a way to giveback to the original.

NO USB Only Internet Tethering after upgrade to OS4?

I have discovered that I can no longer do internet tethering using the USB only tethering connection since I upgraded to OS4. This used to work perfectly well up until then as I used it quite extensively while travelling. When using the USB Internet Tethering only the message I get in the Network Preferences is that the iPhone USB is not connected or the device is not responding!
Very annoying and surprising that such a defect got through the QA cycle!

1) any recommended solutions?
If you have AppleCare, you have free support. It might be a good idea to check with the factory to get the latest information.
2) how can i get the previous firmware back?
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click on the word "Version" about 3 lines down
A window will open to display available firmware
Click OK, then click Continue
Some users are reporting that this option is not available, so I cannot tell you in advance whether this will work for you.

3gs upgrade to os4 won't sync music or photos anymore

since upgrading to os4 my 3gs won't sync music and photos. a sync completes successfully and other things like contacts, calender etc all sync fine. but my folders of photos i want synced to the phone don't appear in the photos app anymore... and also any new music (songs or playlists) i add to be synced just don't appear on my phone. also another i've noticed, when i add a song (or more than one), the space that is attributed to music doesn't increase and free space doesn't decrease. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I also get alot of errors liek 13014 or 9..
In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you tried the following document?

3GS: After upgrade to OS4 my BMW can not sync contacts and other informatio

Hello,
after the upgrade to OS4, my BMW can not sync the contacts, call information and other things via bluetooth. With OS 3.x, everything was fine.
How can I fix the problem? Reinstall OS3.x? Reboot my BMW
Thanks
Tom

Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

All my GPS Apps are not working anymore after upgrading to OS4

Hi folks,
all my GPS APPS are not working anymore since I upgraded to OS4.
I am living in Germany and using Iphone 3GS 32GB.
Are there any plans from apple to resolve this issue shortly ß Or shuld we
chance to google or Microsoft produkts....?

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the entire iOS device range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

Back up error -19, can't backup iPhone 3gs or upgrade to OS4.

When my iPhone is connected and begins to sync it pops up saying "MobileBackup has stopped working." iTunes then displays a window saying "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the back up session failed."
When attempting to upgrade to OS4 it extracts the software, then has the same error again when trying to back up. It's a back up error -19.
When right clicking on the iPhone name on the left panel, it displays "MobileDeviceHelper has stopped working".
I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling everything with no success, and have the latest version of iTunes. I discovered though that by ignoring the errors I am still able to transfer data onto the iPhone and also applications from the phone into iTunes.
Please help?

Is it now safe to upgrade to OS4?

I have a 3g and due to the many reports that the new os turned them into useless chunks of junk I have not upgraded to OS4
I am now reading that the updated version of os 4 is actualy good on a 3g but before upgrading I wanted some reassurance.
I need my phone and really can't afford to have it turned into a brick.
Please can you give me some advice. (Please nobody answer unless you actually know what you are talking about don't just guess.)
Thanks

Personally, I don't see enough benefit in upgrading a 3G to iOS4, even if it is stable and fast. About the only things you get on a 3G with iOS4 are a Unified Inbox, folders and digital zoom... not enough for me to chance it on my 3G that works nearly flawlessly now.

IPhone 3GS upgraded to OS4

Hello, please can you help me fix a problem. I recently upgraded to os4 which was a problem free exercise. However in photos I cannot get rid of the toolbars top and bottom which effectively spoils one of the great features; ie viewing uncluttered pics. Normally these should vanish with one tap. Any ideas?

Same thing happened to me and my 3GS. I tried syncing and unsyncing, didn't work. The strange part is that I'm pretty sure the ringtone is actually on the phone-- I hooked my phone up to a different computer and transfered purchases, and it moved my Imma Be ringtone off the phone into the different computer's iTunes library. But I still can't set it as a ringtone...

After upgrade to OS4.0 cannot buy applications in App Store

After the upgrade to OS4.0 (Iphone 3GS) I cannot buy anymore applications in App Store. I have accesso to the appstore and applications but the icon with the buy/download in the right corner does not appear for any application. The only thing I can buy is audiobooks (strange .....)
I have already tried with other itunes account and the behaviour is the same. With OS3.0 I haven't any problems.
Anyone can help ?

Thanks for the reply.
I also found when checking the carrier settings it would get this wrong on automatic
I was checking it & lost service found out was set to vodafone.
So going to not use the automatc setting, set to optus.
Still have the 3G iratatic download bar behaviour but use wifi
I think the enhances to app store downloads must be a little buggy

3GS Upgrade to OS4.0 - Lost Pause Functionality when dialing

A number of my contacts have extensions or dial a calling card string after the PAUSE key. This worked very well on my 3GS before I upgraded to OS4.0. Now the numbers after the pause are no longer recognized.
Is there any way to fix that or is it a known issue?
Thanks

Thanks Tommy, but I had already tried the "Notes" setting on and off and neither seemed to make any difference.
I just tried to email a Voice Memo, another feature I use regularly, and it had the same problems as before however this time it wouldn't even send a message to the Outbox.
I decided to try a few differnent mail accounts I have, POP3, IMAP and HOTMAIL to see if any of them would work. Interestingly, when I created a new POP3 account and clicked "Save", during the verification process for this new POP3 account it produced an error with the IMAP account!
I thought I should just delete the newly created POP3 account as well as my normal IMAP account (this one noted in the first post above) and then I'd recreate the IMAP account. As I deleted the POP3 account, I heard the sound that is played when an email is sent, the phone then automatically switched to the Mail application and showed the Outbox with all of my previous attempts to send Notes and Voice Memos from the last couple of days. Which all sent successfully.
So even though I was able to send and receive emails during this time, it would seem the OS4.0 upgrade butchered something in the IMAP account settings, which caused both the Notes and Voice Memos to have issues.
It all seems to be working OK now, I just thought I would share this solution/work-around in case anyone else is having the same problems as I did.

Upgrade to OS4 created a double-size display

After upgrading to OS4, the display on my iPhone 3GS blew up to 2+ times its normal size. Have tried reloading the software and 'restoring' the settings but nothing has helped. I now have an iPad-size display on a much smaller, iPhone screen.
Any suggestions?

Double tap the screen with 3 fingers and then turn Accessibility off in Settings.

Sound problems after upgrade to OS4

Good morning,
Anyone else who has sound problems while phoning after the upgrade to OS4? I have a 3Gs. Sound while phoning has been reduced to absolute minimum.

Same here as well - I have an iPhone 3GS and noticed this morning, when connected to my in-car bluetooth phone system, if I am running a iOS4 application like TomTom which is multi-tasking in the background, the sound quality is crackly, however if I kill the TomTom apps from the task manager, after a few seconds, sound quality is fine.
Starting up TomTom again, immediately reduces the sound qulaity back to crackling.
Not sure if the iOS4 or TomTom to blame.
If I used a the Speaker option, sound is fine. It appears that only bluetooth is affected.

I'm having problems with Notes after upgrade to OS4. Anyone else?

After upgrading mu iphone 3GS to the new OS4, I'm having serious problems with my Notes. If I edit old notes and klick Done, it now takes longer then ever to save. And when the save is finished, my latest edits are gone! The note is back to the text before I opened it up for editing...
Has enyone experienced this after upgrading?
Also, why does it take such a long time so save the notes now? I can see in the "progress bar" the phone is connecting to the Internet after klicking Done. Why is that? It never did that before. Does the new OS4 save all notes on some sort of server instead of just saving on my phone? Can I shut this function off somehow?
Thanx for all answeres!

I am having the same issue but havent been able to find a solution yet.

Upgrade to OS4
