Why the iPhone 3G do no update up to 4.2.1

Why the iPhone 3G is stil to 4.2.1 and not update to other iOS?

4.2.1 is the iOS Firmware Apple decided to stop at. No further support from Apple is expected for iPhone 3G.

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

    How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • The iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible, can i get back to ios 7 as iphone 5s or itsnot possible!!!

    My iphone 5s and model A1457 and even after i downloaded the IOS 7.1,2 itunes get me error "the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"
    some people saying that u cant get back and other saying yes u can
    i wonder if i still can and how to avoid that error
    IOS 8 Drain battery like **** -.-" & wireless not working well -.-", that's so annoying ...
    (if someone got a solution, i would appreciate it, Thx in advance)

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...

    I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...
    iPhones are duty free and even with a $50 shipping fee it would only come to £185.75 including VAT at the current exchange rate.

    How much a month is the standard 24month contract with AT&T or one of the other American providers that makes the handset cost $199?
    Here's the cheapest plans available from the big three:
    The plans start there and can run up to $230/mo (for AT&T).

    You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.

  • Why the iPhone vibrates 2 times when the iPhone OS is starting?

    Someone know why the iPhone vibrates two times when the iPhone OS is starting (and the apple logo appears)
    In my case, this rare event occurs when a problem with an application (3rd party) force to iPhone to restart or when occurs a problem during the sync with iTunes. After this event, my iPhone never load (your OS) and the only way is the restore.
    null

    Amazing how much trouble when can get into by taking shortcuts before we understand something... isn't it....
    Read the API and find out for yourself what events are triggered by a JButton......
    Remember thsi advices:
    1) Before using shorthand event handling, make absolutely sure that you understand the process back to front...
    2) Write your own event, listener and implementer in order to get a clearer picture...
    3) Until this is clear to you, always implement the appropriate listener and override the necessary methods....

  • Can someone tell me why the Iphone 5s 64gb is in the US $399 which is equivalent of £250 yet to buy it in the UK costs £709!!!!!

    can someone tell me why the Iphone 5s 64gb is in the US $399 which is equivalent of £250 yet to buy it in the UK costs £709!!!!!

    You're looking at the SUBSIDIZED price of the iPhone in the US that carriers offer by having the purchaser enter into a 2 year contract. 

  • The iphone could not be updated. An unknown error (occured 4005)

    I have a problem with updating my iPhone 5 to IOS7. Everytime I go to update the iPhone to IOS7, I get this "The iphone could not be updated. An unknown error (occured 4005)" error. It stays stuck at "waiting for iphone" then the 4005 error pops up after like 10-15 minutes of "waiting for iphone".
    Also it leaves my iPhone in the "connect to itunes" screen after the error pops up. And when I try turning the iphone on and off and restarting it, the iphone still stays stuck at the "connect to itunes" screen and I have to use software to unlock the phone so I can actually use my phone.
    The screenshot of this problem is below. Someone help, my itunes is updated to the latest version as well.

    I've got a similar problem only mine says unknown error (2001). During the initial installation of this months update a USB cord plugging in the iTunes icon showed up on the screen. It stayed there for about 2 minutes and then the iPhone rebooted. It repeated this cycle more times then I can count. I'm happy to say that it is now working. But non the less I've been pretty frustrated with the iPhone and Leopard sometimes.
    In response to a comment that it seems that every iTunes related software update seems buggy I would have to say that I agree. I've been using Macs since 1987 and I have to say that in past 3-4 years Apple has changed a lot. It's more popular then ever before. It's products are even more stylish and innovative then ever before. But the rising demand for Macs has forced Apple to cut corners it seems. In some ways Apple products aren't what they used to be.
