Why can't I change the lock screen wallpaper on my new iPhone 3GS

I went to Settings > Wallpaper > Wallpaper, selected a pic and tapped 'Set', but the background is still black! My phone isn't jailbroken btw.
Thanks,
Zoe

Same problem here with a 3G. It used to work. Stopped working in 3.1, I updated 4.1, still not working. It's always black (no wallpaper available).
Prior to iOS 4 there was no way to change the background wallpaper, it was black.
Only the 3GS and 4 allow changing the background wallpaper. The fact that you cannot change it on a 3G is not a bug, it is simply the way it is.

Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

Why can't we change the wallpaper of the home screen?

I was just wondering, because people who jailbreak their iTouch can change the background. You can change the lock screen sure, but why not the background of the home screen? I consider that worth an update Because I am not going to jailbreak my iTouch but I reallllly want to be able to change the background. Boring seeing the same color every time I use my iTouch. Thanks, I was just really curious, I am sure others were too.

Because that is not a feature of the iphone.
Unless Apple announces, there is no way to know why they make the decisions that they do.
No one here is privy to the decision making process at Apple.

Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:
======================================================
/*********************** Database Routines *************************/
private void makeConnection() {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = ( DataSource )ic.lookup( dbName );
con = ds.getConnection();
DatabaseMetaData dmd = con.getMetaData();
show_supported_trans_levels( dmd );
int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
System.out.print( "1. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
System.out.println( "con.isReadOnly() = " + con.isReadOnly() );
con.setTransactionIsolation( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE );
System.out.print( "2. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
} catch( SQLException ex ) {
System.err.println( "SQLException: " + ex.toString() );
throw new EJBException("Unable to connect to database. " +
ex.getMessage());
} catch( NamingException ex ) {
System.err.println( "NamingException: " + ex.toString() );
throw new EJBException("Unable to connect to database. " +
ex.getMessage());
private void disp_tx_status( int status )
System.out.print( "Transaction Status: " );
switch( status )
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_NONE ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_NONE" );
break;
default:
System.out.println( "UNKNOWN" );
break;
private void show_supported_trans_levels( DatabaseMetaData dmd ) throws SQLException
System.out.println( "List of Supported Transaction Isolation Levels: " );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is unsupported!" );
=========================================================
However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:
======================================================
SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: Transaction manager errors. statement not allowed in XA Session.
======================================================
To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

You can change the setting, you may need to click the lock at the bottom of the preference pane. Be careful what you download and install, Gatekeeper is there to help you. OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support

Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions??

Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions? if a thief got my phone he can hold 3 sec the home button and with siri he can call and do what every he wants..

Thanks, you're my hero! :-)
The problem wasn't about the Restricitions because they are really irrelevant. The Problem was that i didn't had this Option to turn Siri off in the Touch ID & Passcode-Menu because i had to activate Siri first.
Here ist the way to deactivate Siri in the locked Screen:
[1] Settings > General > Siri > turn Siri on
[2] Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED > turn Siri off

HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups.
Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad. (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone. You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
Thanks for responding.

Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send? Do you have a data plan on your account? Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.
