HT4623 How do I upgrade the software on a 1st generation iphone?

Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the IOS on an old 3G phone?  Currently IOS 3.1.3 is on the phone and I would like to upgrade it.

Sorry, but you can't. iOS 3.1.3 is the final version a first-gen iPhone can run.
Regards.

  • How do I update the software on my 1st generation ipod touch?

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation. I am unable to upgrade the software so that I may use newer apps like Instagram. What can I do? I also have a new imac, and a first generation ipad. None of the calendars will synch! I must be missing something! So frustrated as I would like to be able to use all to full capacity and easiness among devices.

    A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:

    Note that currently ther are not that many apps that will work with the 1G iiPod.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • HT4623 Where do I find the software application here in my iPhone be because I can't find it to my setting

    Where do I find software update with my iphone4 because I can't find it to my general setting

    If you are using iOS 4 you will have to connect your iPhone to a computer and apply the latest update via iTunes, I highly recommend backing up your iPhone. This will update your iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 and then you will be able to see the software update feature on your iPhone. Go Here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    You will have to check the current version of your iOS. If you are using iOS 5 or later you will see how to update here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    To check your current iOS version from your iPhone - Go to Settings > General > About... and scroll down to version.

    You can not install anything but the current version of iOS. If you have a 3Gs, then you can install 6.0.1 by plugging it into your computer running iTunes (10.7 or higher).  If you have a 3G, 4.2.1 is the end of the line.

  • I upgraded the software on my first generation iPad and now I can't find my photos on the iPad

    I lost all my photos after I upgraded the sotware on 1st generation iPad

    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • HT4623 how do i update the app store app on my iphone?

    Unfortunately for the last couple of days; when I've stepped into my App Store app and type in an app to download, the screen stays blank. Actually literally EVERY screen within the app store is unresponsive. I do have an iPhone 4S with an underlined company, I'm curious to know if maybe that could be a reason why my app store is not working. Someone please help me.

    Are restrictions set on your iPhone?
    Then disable the restrictions in the settings.
    If no restrictions are set, the appStore may have accidentally be dragged to a folder: try to reset the Home Screen layout:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout
    This will restore the original layout. Don't do it, if you want to keep the folders, you have created.

  • How can I acquire adobe software for my 1st generation iPad?

    I was told that if I contact Adobe, they would help me obtain older software for my iPad that isn't allowed to update past 5.1.1.
    How can I get them?

    I sincerely doubt that's possible. The iOS operating system doesn't allow downloading older versions of software from the App Store, and software creators for the iOS are not allowed to distribute software outside of the App Store (except for testing purposes).
