where do all iphone simulator disappear to? - xcode

I used to have all the simulator from 2.0 to 3.x then when I upgrade the Xcode to get the iphone 4 sdk, all the simulators disappeared except for iphone ipad 4 versions.
so in xcode 4 with snow leopard, I had ipad 3.2 and iphone 4.0 - 4.3, ipad 4.0 - 4.3.
now I got the new macbook air with lion, had to install the xcode 4.2 for lion, loaded up the same project, and only simulator I have is iphone 4.3 and ipad 4.3.
what is going on here? How do I get all my simulator back? ipad 3.2 and iphone 4.0 - 4.3, ipad 4.0 - 4.3.
My project is same as before and set to ios 3.0 target.
thanks for any help in advance

I don't know why but the old simulators are uninstalled, but you can go to xCode > Preferences ... > Downloads (tab) and select the simulators that you want download.

I'd suggest by re-installing XCode 4.2 or running a Software Update.
Xcode 4.2 includes:
iPhone 4.0 Simulator
iPhone 4.1 Simulator
iPhone 4.1 Simulator
iPhone 4.2 Simulator
iPad 4.2 Simulator
iPhone 4.3 Simulator
iPad 4.3 Simulator
iPhone 5.0 Simulator
iPad 5.0 Simulator

Xcode 4.6 and iOS 7.0.2 connecting issue?

When I am connecting my iPAD with iOS 7.0.2 with Xcode 4.6. It is showing iOS device not my device name.Is there an issue between Xcode 4.6 and iOS 7.0.2?
Yes. If you are using devices with iOS 7, you should be using Xcode 5.
The latest iOS version will always be compatible with the recent most SDK available i.e. Xcode 5.0.2 in your case for iOS7.

What was the last (if any) Xcode shipped with iOS Simulator 3.0 and supporting iOS 4.2.1?

I currently have an iPod Touch 2G model MC, running iOS 4.2.1 which cannot be downgraded AFAIK, but I need to build an iOS 3.0 app
So, it would help to have an Xcode with both an iOS 4.2.1 compatible SDK and iOS Simulator 3.0 too
Any help is appreciated

Xcode 3.2.6 and iOS SDK 4.3 GM Seed for Snow Leopard (10.6.6) can be installed, then using the former DMG it could be installed iOS Simulator 3.0 with these packages:
"/Volumes/iPhone SDK/Packages/iPhoneSDK3_0.pkg"

Does xcode4.5 support ios4.3 simulator or prior?

I have upgrade to xcode4.5 from 4.4, but i can't find ios simulator 4 or prior within it. I open Xcode menu, preference, downloads, i can see simulator5 and 5.1 only. I am not sure whether xcode4.5 support ios simulator 4 and debugging with ios4.3 and prior.i know almost iphone and ipad people upgrade their ios to 5 already. but we have some project runs in ios 4.3.does someone know how to install simulator 4 in xcode 4.5?
thanks in advance.
Looks like it has been removed from xcode 4.5 on Mountain Lion:
xcode 4.5 runs ios 4.0 simulator (NOT)
According to Apple you can still set the deployment target for 4.3 though:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3461
The minimum supported deployment target with Xcode 4.5 or later is iOS 4.3.

xCode 4.2 only show simulators of iPhone 5.0 and iPad 5.0

My Xcode 4.2 only shows show iPhone 5.0 Simulator and iPad 5.0 Simulator as seen in the picture. I already downloaded all versions os iOS in Preference/Download and have set up in the iOS Deployment Target to 3.0. Why doesn't it show all iOS simulators from 3.0 to 5.1 as in previous version of Xcode?
Support for these simulators has been dropped. Currently the only simulators Xcode is supporting is for iOS 5+ SDKs.
