Will not update to ios5 on 3gs - Help!!!

I have new itunes (10.5) installed on Mac.  but when I conect my Iphone. Itunes is telling me that 4.2.1 is latest version. I tried a restore - did not work - how do I get it to update my Iphone 3GS to lastest version.   Will not update.

Sorry I don't have a solution for you.  I am having the same problem, but I cannot even download itunes 5 onto my macbook pro when directed to do so as a requirement for the ios5 upgrade.  I am also running 4.3.5.  When I try to download itunes 5 I get the message that my software is up to date.
I too would be grateful for any solutions

  • 2.3 will not update to 2.4! Help!

    My 2.3 version will not update to 2.4 I downloaded the file and i open the 2.4 download file and it just sits there with the windows installation window for a long time "preparing to install" then it says "install server not responding"
    somebody help me!

    If this is a Windows installation, I assume you have all the administrative rights so that you can install.  I had something similar to this happen to me once.  I solved it by going to the next folder down and double-clicking on the appropriate installer.  But Lightroom 2.4 installed without a problem on my system.  I suppose one other thing to consider would be to make sure you have adequate disk space for the installation.

  • My iPod Touch will not update... Please help me!

    I have an iPod Touch 8gb model MC540LL and it will not update.  My iTunes program is 10.6 but every time I attempt to download and update the iPod I get the same message "The network connection could not be established." I've tried almost everything I know, even resetting the iPod's factory settings, but that won't work either, it recieves the same infernal message.  Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
    Oh!  And the iPod acts like it no longer has iTunes on it.

    If not successful also try changeint he DNS. See.

  • Adobe flash player on Mountain lion is incompatible, I can no longer watch you.tube, live direct tv..........says i have to upgrade the flashplayer and it will not update!!!!  Help, says  "blocked plug-in"

    I recently updated to Mountain Lion and now I cannot watch Youtube, Direct tv live feed because it says I need to update.  But, my computer will not let me.  Says I have a "blocked plug-in"  Help!!!!!!!!!

    You should only ever download Flash from that link. If a site pops up a message offering you a link to download Flash, don't take it. It might be the Adobe auto-update, but it might equally well be malware - there have been problems along these lines.

  • IPhone4 will not update with iOS5

    I have the iPhone 4 and have been unable to download the iOS5 update. My phone downloads the file but then sits idle and will not complete the installation. I have let it sit overnight and still no luck. Has anyone else had this issue? How do I fix it?

    Hello Rogue-Dave,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update your iPhone.  I recommend updating using iTunes.  Use the steps in the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in the following article:

  • ITunes will not update to 7.0! Help!

    I have the older version of itunes, but whenever I try to update to iTunes 7.0 nothing happens. No messages pop up, nothing happens.
    The older itunes will not allow me to buy songs or get podcasts, or basically do anything.
    I would really appreciate help with getting the application to update!

    Are you trying to download iTunes 7.0 through the iTunes program, or online?
    If you haven't attempted to download version 7.0 directly from online, see if it works now by upgrading through here:

  • My itunes will not update my ipod mini-please help me

    For the last couple of days, I have been updating my itunes with new music. However, when I connect my ipod to my PC it does not update my ipod mini with the new music. The other night it was connected and said it was charging but didn't update and right now it's plugged in and says nothing, I think the battery died. So I am wondering how in the world do i get my ipod to update. Please someone help me! I've already tried rebooting the computer, what else works?

    Sounds like you've got connection problems, Al. Also, the exclamation mark means you need to restore your iPod.
    Run the iPod Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your mini when it tells you to connect and iPod. This time, however, connect it to one of the ports on the rear of your computer (if you have a desktop).
    If it's still not recognized by the updater, reset it: hold down the Menu and Center buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    If it's recognized by the updater, choose the Restore option and follow the instructions from there.

  • Apps will not update since ios5 on 4s

    Existing apps are not updating. Verizon unsuccessful as well. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Re-sign in the phone to your iTunes Store account:
    Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out (even if it appears correct) > sign in with correct ID and billing info > restart phone.

  • My iPod touch 4gen will not update to iOS5... I NEED HELP

    Everytime I go to update my 4g iPod tough, it tells me the network connection was messed with or lost. I check my internet and everything is okay, nothing is wrong with my connection to the internet or the connection between my iTunes and the iPod itself. I have no idea what to do and this is frustrating, because I need to update/restore my iPod, I've never done it before. Also, to get certain apps I need iOS5, HELP!

    Temporarily Disable or turn off your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.

  • My ipod touch will not update to ios5

    Hi I have a Ipod touch 3rd generation 8gb.
    I want to update it to IOS5 but when i click check for updates in Itunes it sais you have 4.2.1.
    I looked at other disscusions and it said they have 2nd generation but im positive I have 3rd before buying it i looked everywhere and got this ipod touch 3rd generation 8gb.  I would pull up my order history but the history is 18 months and  I think i got this a year ago.
    and some people were talking about codes on the back mine is 579c-a1288
    What im saying is can someone clear this up because its confusing. and if i bought a 3rd did they rip me of and give me a 2nd?

    No - you are wrong!
    Do a search of these discussion and also look on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for the 3rd gen Touch. It came in 32GB and 64GB models ONLY!
    ... and no, I am not mad.

  • I changed my yahoo email password and it will not update on my macbook.  Help!

    I have an iphone, ipad, and a macbook.  I changed my yahoo email password.  The iphone and ipad updated, my macbook refuses to retain the new password.  I have to enter the new password everytime it retrieves mail.  HELP!

    Howdy, JJ!
    I'd suggest taking a look at your Keychain to resolve this.
    I have a couple resources that can help with this.
    Lion Mail: If your password is not saved
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4903
    Open Keychain Access in the Utilities folder in Launchpad. Locate and delete the mail account password item.While in Keychain Access, you can also choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid to verify and repair keychain settings.
    If that doesn't do the trick, it's probably worth resetting your keychain:
