What is going on with itunes match and my iphone?

My itunes had been working fine until a couple of hours ago when I opened it to see nearly everything greyed out and next to the music tab was a little cloud icon with a tilde (~) in it. I signed out of my itunes and itunes match accounts and then couldn't sign back in. At first I got the 4010 error and then I started getting the 5002 error. After a call from tech support that ended up dropping, everything went back to normal. Now on my iphone nothing plays. I select a song and it just sits on 0:00 and never moves. There's no indication that it is trying to do something. My ios is up to date and I've tried trying to update the Terms and Conditions, but I don't think they need to be. Oh and I've did the whole turn if itunes match in the iphone settings. That worked for one song. There's no difference as to whether the song was matched or uploaded to itunes match. I'm at my wits end and starting to get upset, what can I do?

What apps can LG Motion 4G run?

I can no longer afford to keep paying the monthly fee on my iPhone 3Gs on AT&T so I'm switching to Metro PCS and plan to get the LG Motion. Will Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich be a lot different from iOS? Will I still be able to run apps like Instagram, Voxer, Skype, Twitter, Pandora, Songza, Angry Birds, Temple Run, VEVO, Weather Channel, Gas Buddy, etc…

Also overall opinion of LG Motion for those of you that own it?
and is the transition from apple to android real dramatic?
and please don't just say metro sucks, I know it isn't the best service but I can no longer afford AT&T I know its gonna be slower.

Facebook for jailbroken iPhone? Cydia?

Okay so I bought my iPhone 3GS second hand: P (well technically it was bought for me). And it was jailbroken when I got it… Which means I haven't been able to update it since last Christmas. -.-" (3.1 = not cool).

Anybubbles… FB doesn't work on my phone anymore *sob* not the app or in safari… Is there anything in Cydia that could help me in these disastrous times! (basically I've used my monthly contract in 1 week… So FB is my ONLY form of communication).

Also… What's the highest I can update my phone to, cuz someone said it was 4.2.1 but all the apps now require 4.3 FML or what!

Laaaastly. If I do upgrade it… How do I do it? I know for my last iPhone I had to pay for it… But it's so expensive! Can I do it myself without killing my phone?

Thank you! Xx

Added (1). So I deleted and reinstalled and still nuthin' D":
I can't unjailbreak it or it will lock to stoopid O2 and I'm not on that! -.-"

Help (for 10 points and kissesssss) xxxxxxxxxx

Is it safe to mail an iPhone 5 domestically?

My sister got me an iphone 5 back east so that I don't have to pay the much higher sales tax here in California. My current iphone 4 is out of service because when she got the upgrade, my phone was deactivated. My sister offered to send me the iPhone via USPS and I was wondering if this is safe. I will be going to the East coast in 4 weeks to visit her anyways but the sooner I have the iphone the better. I was wondering if I should take my sisters offer and have her send it to me and should it be insured.
Responses appreciated

IMessage for iPhone not working?

This afternoon I noticed that as I tried to send messages with the iMessage, my texts wouldn't send. I restarted my phone multiple times and even restored it on iTunes but it still doesn't work. In my settings the button is turned to iMessage on, but under that it says 'waiting for activation'. I've had my phone since the beginning of October and has never had this problem before. Has this happened to anyone else? Or do you know how to possibly fix it?

Why can't I send pic messages on my iphone 4?

The mms is on too. It's really weird? I pay $30/month already for data… And i think 9.99 for texting? Is it because I only paid for the plan that only has regular texting and doesn't include pic messaging?
