I am going travelling - Can I update my I phone 4 using any computer as long as I log in to my itunes account??

Here's the deal: You can update iPhone software on any computer, as updating software does not touch any user data or settings...unless something goes wrong(rare). If something were to go wrong, and this is not the computer you normally sync with, you could lose ALL of your data. You also do not want to sync, if this is not the computer you normally sync with. So, make sure you disable auto-sync under iTunes>Preferences>Devices first. Do not sync after you update.

    You mean update your iPhone software? Yes, you can do that on any computer, but it REQUIRES an internet connection & yes the software needs to be downloaded unless already on the computer and the exact version for your model iPhone.

  • Can I update my iPhone using an iPad?

    Am just wondering if the iPad is capable of being able to update my iPhone or do I need to use a computer?

    The iPad, no. But once you've upgraded to 5.0, you can upgrade directly to the iPhone (or iPad) without a computer.

  • I can't update my iPhone on another computer

    I have iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 and i'm trying to update to IOS5
    my laptop has a low space in local disk C so i can't backup and update, so i installed itunes on another computer with larger local disk C and connected my iphone and authorized the computer as my 2nd of 5 allowed computers to authorize. but when i tried to update it said that only name, notes and calenders are going to be backup-ed and all the other data will be lost !
    is there something wrong i did ?

    Just because its authorized, doesn't mean that it has all of your media on it.  That being said, when you upgrade to iOS 5, it uses all the data saved on the computer and settings for your sync to reinstall everything.  If you have purchased stuff on your phone you can click File and then I believe Get Purchases or Transfer Purchases and it will back them up first and you will be able to reinstall those.  But any ripped media that was not purchased through iTunes your out of luck.

  • How can I update my iphone without a computer or itunes?

    I was at the luandromat using my laptop to sync my Iphone 3gs and there was a large power surge. It fried my laptop and my Iphone 3gs. Now I'm using my old Iphone 3g whcih is running software 3.1.3 and I want to know how or if I can update the software with out having access to itunes or even a functioning computer.

    "Really? "
    Yes.  It has always been this way.  Itunes and a computer were listed as REQUIREMENTS on both the box the iphone came in and the website.
    "If that's the case then I think I may just switch to the Droid network."
    Enjoy your Droid.

  • HT201317 How can i unlock my phone using this computer?

    How can i unlock my iphone using my computer?

    With the new IOS 7 therer has been what is know as an activation lock in which disables the user to restore the device to default settings without knowing the password to the apple id. Once you have restored the device back to default settings it will then ask you to plug in the apple id password. Once you have verified your identity with the apple id password you will be good to go!
    Good luck.

  • HT4623 How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    Hi Team,
    I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1.  While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected.  Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not. 
    and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

  • Help?! Can't update to iPhone 4.2.1 from PowerBook G4 running iTunes 9.2.1

    My aging PowerBook G4 is running iTunes 9.2.1, further update of iTunes not available for my version of OSX (10.4.11). When I sync my iPhone 3G (running 4.1) I am told there is a newer version of the iPhone software (4.2.1), but upon clicking the "Update" button in the sync window I get a prompt saying "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version." What's with this prompt? This update button has worked in the past to keep my iPhone software current, don't know what's going on now!
    My laptop and my iPhone used to play nicely together all the time. Not really sure where to begin with this one and would appreciate any suggestions.

    I'm experiencing this same problem and am also highly annoyed. For several reasons, I cannot upgrade to 10.5 on my Powerbook G4 and thus can never update my iPhone software again.
    However, what's even more annoying is the snotty, condescending attitude of the people who respond on these boards to anyone using an older-model computer, particularly the ones in this thread.
    Just so you know, you guys are hardly supporting Apple by providing case studies on superiority complexes in place of actual advice.
    There is absolutely no reason why a person should not be able to upgrade the software on their top-of-the-line phone because Apple decided to arbitrarily tack said software update to an iTunes version that is unattainable to many devoted Mac users. Especially when Windows users (you know, those people who are actually "hardly supporting Apple") are afforded support that we older Mac users are being distastefully excluded from.
    Only a truly sickening Apple sycophant could look at this situation and say it's anything bordering on fair.

  • How can I update my iPhone 3gs to iOS4, after iOS5 came out?

    I am still running iOS 3 (1.3) on my iPhone 3GS and I'm happy with it - but all the new apps requires iOS4 and now I'm sick of this. I want iOS4 (and not iOS5, cause it will drain my battery as far as I've understood).
    How can I update my iPhone 3GS in a normal way to iOS4, through iTunes or another easy way? I have never jailbreaked an iPhone so I don't know too much about "backdoors" into my iPhone.

    The only Firmware in the iOS 4 series that Apple is still signing for the iPhone 3GS is 4.1. So you could restore  to 4.1. You will have to download the 4.1 IPSW from Apple, and then install it with iTunes, Option Click Mac or Shift Click Windoz, on the Restore Button and then select the 4.1 IPSW on your computer. The current iTunes may give meaningless Errors, I doubt because you are Upgrading. But if Error Message is given you will have to search the Web for ways to Exit Recovery.

  • How can I update my app using my own ac?

    can I know if I can update my app from the other ac ?cause when I downloaded the app I used my friend ID  but now I can't contact him .so how can I update the app using my own ac?

    You can't, all content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps.
