Windows 7 64Bit - iPhone 3GS Driver needs constant reinstalling for photos
This is a fairly fresh installation of windows 7 64bit, I can sync my iphone and apps and music work without issue, but the driver that lets me access the photos has recently started showing an "!" every time I connect, I can only access my photos by telling windows 7 to troubleshoot the driver
it then determines that a driver reinstall is needed which then lets me access the images.. until I re-sync again.
Any ideas would be good, i dont want to have to reinstall itunes
Thank you.
If using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7, type C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers in the "Search for driver software in this location" field when updating the driver.

If above does not work then right click on the iTunes shortcut and select properties. Click the compatibility tab and check the "Run this program in compatibility mode" check box. From the drop down menu choose choose Vista service pack 2 and then click Apply. Now double click the iTunes setup.

Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!
I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

Hello fgjh,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If the iPhone is not in iTunes, take a look at:

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

Windows 7, Photoshop cs6 : I need to reinstall photoshop cs6 that is down on my PC. What is the procedure?
You shouldn't have to deactivate it if it's the same computer. Remove photoshop as best you can using Windows Uninstall. Then reinstall a new copy from here:

Make sure you select the same version that you had before (extended or not, same OS, etc). It shouldn't be an issue if it's the same computer. -

You can backup only your settings, messages, recent calls, apps and Camera Roll in your new iTunes.
Your photo albums and music has to be on your computer to sync them back to your iPhone.

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
i hav an iphone 3gs, the option in "general" for "software update" isnt there? can i do it through the computer instead?
What you are looking for is only available for iOS 5 and above. You will need to connect your iPhone to a computer and update through iTunes as always.

Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto
After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?
I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

My iPhone is FULL, no memory left for photos. If I move all my photos off my iPhone, will the 'ALBUMS' and their content (pics) be blown away ? Also, what is the BEST way to clear/save photos off my iPhone ? PC, ITunes, some other app ?
I use an app called FileApp to transfer photos to my PC - I can then selectively delete photos from my iPhone and still have them on my PC - just download the app to your iPhone and follow the instructions for the accompanying program for your PC - then use your iPhone cable to connect - iTunes will also start up so just close it and you will see the iPhone storage as a drive - go the DCIM folder and open the device folder and you will see your photos.

My iPhone 3GS is stocked on apple logo while restarting my iphone. Do I need to reinstall new IOS on it?Or how can I connect with my itunes again.Thanksssss..
I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the iPhone 3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to update it. It has never been hacked or jailbroken. We and a few others are having the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an update issue. I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this issue and that if there was a way to update it to the update before this last one it might be a solution. I don't know how to get the previous update. Apple probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet. The tech suggested that there might be something wrong with the phone itself, but that couldn't be since it was working perfectly before I updated it and others are having the same issue. It is highly unlikely that a lot of people are not having the same hardware issue all of a sudden at the same time.

Thanks for your help..

Backlight on iphone 3gs broken, need advice...
I have had a iphone 3gs for the past two years, I got it in the summer of 2010. It is in relatively good condition considering it's age (a few scratches on the front screen) other than that it has been protected by a case and has never been damanged. Recently my phone ran out of battery and I charged the iphone but when it turned on I noticed that the screen was dramatically duller than usual and that the backlight on the screen was not lighting up. The screen is visible and the phone is still useable but very hard to sue due to the darkness of the screen. The phone is a year out of warranty but would this be something apple would fix and if so does anyone know for how much? If I had to get this fixed independently does anyone know any companies in the UK i could send it to to be fixed and again what would be a reasonable price to expect to have this fixed/replaced for?
its 149$ usd for apple to fix it out of warranty idk how much that makes it in the uk
