For some reason my iphone 3G (3.0) dose not give me the option to send pictures or anything else in a text. I also read that ATT hasnt released this feature so u cant. Is there something wrong with my phone or is it just ATT, if it is ATT then does anyone know when we/I are going to be able to?? Mac OS X (10.5.4)
I upgrade my 3g phone to 3.0 and I can´t send pictures or multiple mesagges via MMs? Macbook iPhone OS 3.0
When constructing a text, if it happens to be a long one, (which mine regularly are!), I used to like the fact the boxed area you were writing in only went so far up the page so you could scroll and look at the message which youd been previously sent. This no longer happens and the box youre writing in fills the screen and you cant look at the previous message you had been sent. Is this the case, or am I missing something here and there is a way in which you can still view the previous message? imac Mac OS X (10.5.7)
I updated my iPhone 3G after the app store informed me I couldnt dowload an app until I had it, but now all of my applications have gone, except about 4! I wiped all me apps off in iTunes, then tried reinstalling them all but although itunes says it worked, I only have 4 apps and the pictures dont match the names. whats going on, and how do I get my apps back?

I was just browsing through my 3 GS book, it claims to send a picture I simply have to click on the camera button in the text window after entering a message, although there is no camera button anywhere, is there an error or should i restart? DELL Windows XP

This happens for emails tooAnyone else have this issue? Its pretty annoying. iPhone 3G iPhone OS 3.0
Hi, I had the very original iphone and just upgraded to the 3gS. I synced it with iTunes and it loaded up all my old settings just fine--contacts, past text messages, pictures etc. My problem is this:When i receive a new text messages, it would often open a 2nd entry for a text conversation with the same person. I thought maybe since the update it got confused, so i deleted ALL my texts and started from scratch. Now when i get a new text, i can see it on my main screen when it beeps and says New text from ____ and shows the message but when i go to SMS, there is still absolutely no messages there. I can send messages just fine, and it will keep the sent message in my SMS tab temporarily, but when i receive i response (which i can read on the initial beep you have new message...) it disappears completely. I am running the 3.0 OS on a brand new 3gS. Any ideas on how to fix this? It is quit inconvenient. Thanks a lot,Julian PC Windows XP Pro 3gS 3.0 OS
Ive seen several cases that tout a lens cover feature, but all they seem to be are a clear plastic shielding to protect the surface. This doesnt change the fact that if you touch it or if dirt gets on it, it will make your pictures look bad.Has anyone found an iPhone 3G cover that actually has a sliding lens cover? Seems like a no-brainer, but I cant find a single one after a Google search. Mac Pro (2x3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon), MacBook Pro (2.8 GHz/Late 2008) Mac OS X (10.5.7)
Shouldnt there be a notifications option now on the root of the settings screen since 3.0? Ive noticed it on pictures on the web and Ive only seen one of my friends phone since the release (strange I know =) but I do not seem to have this option. .... please help. Sony Vaio VGN Windows Vista
Hi!Why does MMS messages come with the pictures and the sound seperately.I get a picturefile and a soundfile and have to view them, one at the time.Regards MacBook Air Mac OS X (10.5.7) Iphone 3G, OS 3.0
Looking at the screenshots from the Apple site that show off the ability to send pictures via MMS theres a small icon in the bottom left corner but Im not seeing that on my phone. I rebooted also but still no icon. Everything else seems to be there. Got Spotlight. Got Voice Recorder. But no icon to send a picture via MMS. Dont have it when viewing pictures either. Have the ability to send a picture via email but nothing for MMS.Am I missing something? iPhone 3G iPhone OS 3.0
None of my text messages are saving to my phone. I can send and receive but after going back to my home page, when I return to my Messages I get a clear screen with no messages. HELP!!! iPhone iPhone OS 3.0
Is there an easier way to add people to your text message than pressing the plus sign each time and scrolling through the contacts then adding, only to go back to the text message screen and having to add another person through the same process each time. Is there a way you can just be on the contact screen once and add as many people to your text message before going back to the text screen?? MacBook Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Im using yahoo mail on my iphone and Im just wondering why none of the pictures or graphics show up in my emails. Is it something that I need to do or is it just how safari is? Dell Windows Vista
Hey Everyone,I recently updated to 3.0 on my iPhone 3G and tried texting some of my contacts, only to find that I could only text some of them.I found the post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2045721&tstart=120and my problem is similar. Im able to send messages to certain contacts, but some will constantly give me an Error sending message. For instance, Im in Canada, and a friend of mine is on Fido, and I cant seem to be able to text her anymore. She can still receive messages from other people, including my brother, who is shared on the same plan, but has not taken the 3.0 upgrade yet. Also, most of my other contacts seem to be textable... just a select few that dont seem to work...Ive tried putting the iPhone into Airplane mode for 15 seconds (as recommended by the Apple website) and have also tried restoring the firmware.Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,MrWelfareMessage was edited by: MrWelfare iPhone 3G iPhone OS 3.0
Hey, must say that I love my iPhone and the new messaging facilities such as MMS and copying and pasting. But you should be able to disable the feature that flips the keyboard on the side! I wish it was included in the settings. I love texting in bed but you cant if the keyboard keeps flipping on the side!!! Any way of disabling it anyway? iPhone OS 3.0
It seems like since I have updated my iPhone, every time I try to text, I get this automatic return test telling me to use a 10 digit mobile number..... and I AM using 10-digit numbers!!! Why am I getting this error message every time I text???? Apple iMac
Yes I know theres like 100 topic on this already so why no ad another one. I work up today to find 3.0 had installed on iPhone. I browsed the web for about 1 hour and my full 100% battery went down to about 80% percent. I went back to sleep and work up 3 hours later to find my battery had gone down another 20%I went to the gym and listened to music while there for 1.5 hours. On my way back home I set google maps on to guide me home just to see if anything was different there, the ride was about 20 minutes. Now, 20 minutes later as of this texting, I have less than 20% of juice. I never have to worry about charging my phone every day with moderate usage, however Im gonna need a charge soon and I did not even surf the web or play games for hours like I normally do. Apple, this is NOT good. Its funny how apple did not want to add background processing to maintain battery, yet the new update is doing away with battery faster than the PRE. cypher red pill
Although the guidelines for iPhone 3.0 say that pictures will be compressed if necessary, I cant currently seem to send an MMS, despite my having received an MMS upon upgrade to tell me that I could. Do I need to adjust something in prefs to reduce the size of sent photos? iPhone 3G iPhone OS 3.0

hope someone can help...i have had my 3g iphone for nearlya year and is great but in the past 2weeks i have had problems with it. It keeps freezing..if i am for example viewing a facebook page it will freeze and will not do anything for ages. Sometimes it will take half hour to unfreeze or i have to wait until the battery runs out. When it freezes i cant turn it off!!!it just doesnt respond. I have also noticed that when using the phone for texting/reading emails/using apps it will take ages for it to open. I have the latest update software ect and has always been ok with it (until now sniff) i love my phone but this is making its usage frustrating and sometimes impossible...please can someone help?Thanks for reading Lou advent Windows XP laptop
Several times now i have backed up my Iphone and then later will find the backups GONE. Sometimes it labels them with dates, sometimes it doesnt.I had to take my phone in for a new lcd yesterday and i backed it up and went to the store. Found out i didnt even need to back it up in the first place cause he just swapped the screen on the spot, no exchange, and when i got home... Guess what!? no effing backup files since...NOVEMBER OF 08! so i have none of my contacts or pictures since then.this has happened multiple times on several computers.i am becoming angry.

Hi,I had my iphone synced and backed up with my macbook air. i have recently sold my mba (but i still have a time machine back up from it) and now im unable to sync my iphone with any computer without loosing all the data.

So I am sure someone asked this before but there are just so many messages...My iPhone got lost/stolen (not 100% sure) last night... I am wondering if my phonebook and my camera photos (taken by the iPhone camera) are backed up somewhere? I always charged my phone via the computer and I often did syncs via iTunes... Do these syncs also backup the data like phonebook and pictures? If so, how do I get it back? IBM T62 Windows XP Pro
Hello, I am buying an iPhone soon but Im waiting (will explain later).Was wondering a couple questions about the iPhone.with the lowest plan, and texting, the bill comes to $75.However,... -does the GPS turn by turn cost extra?-I also heard that the internet costs extra as well. Even if you picked up a free wifi hotspot.So if those dont cost extra, do they use minutes? Wondering if I should keep my iPod touch (for internet) + GPS or if I should sell them.A couple other questions would be..-Would it be smarter to buy an iPhone now to use as an MP3 player and get service on it later or would I miss out on a deal or something?-Why is there 16gb 3g iPhones on ebay (sucessfully selling) for 600-800 dollars when they are only 300 here at apple.com?And the question Im most concerned about...ATT said they are buying the cellular company centennial. This is when I will get service in my area. Does anyone know when this is going to happen? A date perchance?Also, Currently my location is in the partner coverage zone. The ATT website says if I use my iPhone too much there they would end my contract early. Im guessing I should wait until they buy centennial because of this. I would be using it there 40%-60% of the time.Any answers are greatly appreciated! none Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Is there a way we can make a signature on the iPhone 3G for texting?
I apologize if this is a repeat question. I was not coming up with any useful information while searching.I had a Windows build on my laptop for a year plus. I reformatted and installed a new Windows build. I have tons of pictures, contacts and the like within my iPhone. After I installed a fresh copy of iTunes and imported my iTunes music I went ahead and tried to sync my iPhone.When I try and sync the iPhone I am told that it will need to erase itself because it is associated with another computer. I don’t want to lose my contacts or pics, etc. How can I backup all that important information pre-sync? I don’t care about the Music as I already have that backed up.Thank you so much!!

Alright well I found an iphone in the parking lot at school Friday. I first went to the local AT&T store to try and find the owner. It is now Sunday and no one has texted the phone or even called it.So I was wondering if I could restore the iphone to factory settings via itunes and use my own AT&T sim card with the iphone. I already have a plan with AT&T, although I dont have texting or any internet plans. So can I use my sim card with the iphone without getting charged extra fees, provided that I only use the wi-fi to access my home internet network. Windows Vista
Is there a way to copy pictures from my computer to the camera roll? They were taken by the iphone, but were accidentally deleted.

Okay, so my friend was messing around with my iPhone and she was on a webpage looking at pictures and I look at my phone and there is a new icon that looks like an app. and I click it and it opens the webpage. How can I make this happen again? I really like this feature Mac Mac Mini
I purchased an iPhone 3G in March. At least once a day, my phone freezes when I start to receive an incoming call. In order to get the phone to stop ringing, I have to hold the wake button and the home button at the same time, till the screen turns black and turns off. Once it is off, it takes almost an hour to get the phone to turn back on. The phone has never been dropped, I have very few applications downloaded, and I have not used up much space for music or pictures. I cant find any solutions!! Does anyone have any advice? All of my friends with iPhones do not have this problem. I am the only one with 3G. Windows Vista
My students in my school are very shy when it comes to taking there pictures to put on my wall! I have none! So I want to use my iPhone to take hidden pictures of them when it seems I am just doing something else on it...I know there is a application where it looks like a dialer but its actually a picture taker, but it takes too long for the picture to take, and the dialer looks fake!Maybe what I want is a application where you just tap the application and it automatically takes the picture, no opening another window or anything.Or what other techniques you recommend to take hidden pictures of them so I can surprise them and put them on the wall!(I have iPhone 3G Black FYI)-Nick MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.6)
