My Iphone 4 does not come with a SOFTWARE UPDATE option.

My partner bought my iphone 4 version 4.2 about two years ago from a well known store. He got himself one at the same time but i cannot update mine because it does not come with an option in settings, general that allows me to update it. All of my apps are useless as they need at least iSO5 to run. I cannot check my bank accounts or anything. I have rung and spoke to apple many of times and followed all the steps to try and update. As this is not my fault and the iphone had not been loaded with the correct software there should be something APPLE could do free of charge!!!! I really need help as i cannot afford a replacement or want one. I just dont know what to do anymore!!

  • A new Iphone does not come with SIM? If no... Can I by a SIM in Apple Store?

    I've bought a new 5s but I did not receive it yet.  I'd like to know if it comes with SIM card or I need to buy it. In case I need to buy, can I buy it in the Apple Store?

    That depends on how you bought the phone.  A carrier linked phone will come with a sim card.    An unlocked phone usually does not have a sim card.
    Sim cards can be bought from your Cell carrier's stores. Apple does not sell sim cards.

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Iphone does not sync with Yahoo Address Book

    Hi My iPhone does not sync with Yahoo Address book. iTunes comes back with an error
    "iTunes could not sync with Yahoo Address Book.Because an Internet connection not available"
    This make no sense as I am conected to the internet. iTunes can acess the iTunes Store without a problem. I can also access the Web.
    Any ideas?

    I ran into this problem just within the past couple of weeks.  I found someting on another discussion group on the net about someone with the same problem.  They said that it was because one of their notes was too long.
    I looked at my notes and wouldn't you know it, I created a couple of extra long notes a couple of weeks ago!  I deleted them and I am able to sync without errors again.  I didn't know there was a size limit for a note on the iphone.
    PS.  I have an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3.25

  • When i put in it the sim card and then turn the iphone the home page of iphone does not come and message come told me invalid sim or iphone is lock but my sim card is not invalid

    When i put in it the sim card and then turn the iphone the home page of iphone does not come and message come told me invalid sim or iphone is lock but my sim card is not invalid and my iphone is work with all network in sweden

    That usually means your phone is locked to a different phone carrier than the one you're trying to use.
    YOu would need to conact the carrier the phone is locked to and see if they can unlock it for you.  ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.

  • ICal on my iPhone does not sync with my Mac or iPad.  I am using the cloud.

    My iCal calendar on my iPhone does not sync with my Mac or iPad.  I am on the cloud and every
    thing else is syncing.  I've looked at preferences and everything looks right...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • PSE 9 does not come with Camera Raw 6.2?

    Photosho Elements 9 does not come with camera raw 6.2
    , I downloaded the trial version which came with an outdated 6.1... the only version of 6.2 is for PSE8 and does not work with PSE9 how is this possible? How can they release a product with an outdated ACR????Now we have to wait for an update to a new product???Come on people!!!

    Cheap shot, Phil. Up to now, Mac users got no Organizer but a special bonus: full Bridge, full access to full featured ACR. With this version, both platforms get the same stuff -- it's less than full Photoshop/Bridge CS5, at a small fraction of the price.
    I admit, as a Mac user who shoots RAW, I liked the old trade-off...but I can understand the desire to make the two products consistent. If that makes PSE "inferior" for you than you should stick with Bridge CS4/Raw 5.7, or move up to the full-featured siblings, or switch to Lightroom.

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • HT201328 My Iphone did not come with a sim card

    My Apple S4 Iphone did not come with a Sim Card,,Can i get it Activated to Straight Talk from Verizon ?

    Verizon is a CDMA carrier. StraightTalk resells service from a number of carriers.
    Do you have a Verizon phone, or an unlocked GSM phone? If you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can not activate it on Verizon or on the StraightTalk CDMA network. You can buy a SIM from StraightTalk and use their GSM service, but there are known compatibility issues and they are not a supported GSM carrier. They Are a supported CDMA carrier, but you must purchase a phone specifically for StraightTalk.
