4s updating from ios 5 to 7 still possible?

Is it possible to update and iphone 4s 16gb from ios 5 to ios 7 instead of having to update to ios 8. I know apple stopped signing and authorizing ios 7 so you can no longer go back to ios 7 from ios 8 but is there a way to get from ios 5 to ios 7?? I'm afraid that if i update the phone to ios 8 it will have a hard time handling it.

Your service contract with your carrier is irrelevant to the warranty. It may be relevant to any coverage your carriers offers while under contract to them. But that is something you would have to discuss with them.
If you still have warranty or Apple care, (different to insurance) then your iPhone is covered for any manufacturing defect. Apple is obligated to replace the iPhone with an identical device. The fact they no longer make the 4s does not mean they don't have any in stock for replacements. It will most likely not be new, but refurbished.
In the extreme case there is no humanly possible way to get a 4s of similar characteristics to yours, they may provide you with the next closest thing. Which may be an iPhone 4s of different specs.
In the case of your Insurance you would need to talk with your insurance company about the specifics of your insurance contract. What it covers and under what circumstances.
With all that said, its unlikely iOS 8 will cause any damaging issues that would actually require replacing the phone. Its more likely it will work perfectly fine.

I have Iphone 5S and I never updated from IOS 7.1.2 to IOS 8 and now this morning I noticed that IOS 8.0.1 was available but since it had bugs it was removed, so can anyone tell me if I can update to IOS 8 not 8.0.1 but just IOS 8?

No its not out yet, when I went in to settings it still says 8.0.1 and I just searched on google, it says IOS 8.0.2 will come out in a few days. I just want to get IOS 8, I don't care about IOS 8.0.1 or 8.0.2 .

No Service on iphone 4 GSM after update from ios 7.0 to 7.0.2

Yesterday on my iPhone 4 I made the OTA update from iOS 7.0 to iOS 7.0.2
Modem FW is 04.12.09 - no jailbreak, no simlock
Everything just worked as it should but after the update I did not have Service anymore and my iphone is permanently searching a Carrier.
I already have resetted all Network settings but without any result.
I have restored once again via itunes to 7.0.2 but without result.
Any Idea what I could do?
I have to be reachable by phone so now I am going to restore back to 7.0 and I hope that it will work again.
I will update this post later.

Update, still on 7.0.2:
After having switched Carrier search from Automatic to Manual a list appears with all available Carriers.
My Carrier is on the list but when I select it following info appears:
There are restrictions for the selected Carrier, please select another one or go back to Settings.
*** ... this is my home Carrier and I am in my home country!!! I never saw something like this before.
Actually it is the same message as I got when I select another Carrier in my Country where of course access is denied.
For me this clearly seems to be a bug in 7.0.2

From the article that your statement was posted from:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Update from ios 10.6.8

Hi i own a 2009 macbook pro i want to update from iOS 10.6.8, what iOS do i need to upgrade? and how do i purchase this?
Thanks

Assuming your MacBook meets all the system requirements listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444
then you can purchase Mountain Lion for $19.99 + tax from the Mac App Store. http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/

If I update from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 will I lose my map data? When I updated to 5.0 I lost all my GPSHD Motion X data - 25 Gbytes.

If I update from IOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 will I lose all my GPSHD Motion X map data? When I updated to IOS 5.0.1 I lost about 25GBytes of map data because Itunes will not back up my GPSHD map data.

I havn't used that app, but you shouldn't lose any data by updating to 5.1.1 from 5.0.1.
You can make sure you have a backup before updating.
If you run into problem with that app only or want to ask the app developers, check out the Motion X-Support site.

How do I update from ios 10.8 to yosemite

how do I update from ios 10.8 to yosemite

Make a cloned backup of your current system should you want to go back or if the upgrade isn't successful.
Upgrading to Yosemite
Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!

After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!
I searched for some solutions on the internet and applied following fixes:
1- Disconnected iphone from PC and closed itunes.
2- Reset the iphone by holding down the On/Off button.
3- Connected iphone back to PC to sync with itunes.
Apparently this fixed the problem, and iphone synced with itunes.

same here, but now you can't downgrade to iOS 7.x, since apple has closed the verification server for that version.

Update from IOS 4.2.1 to 4.3.5

How do i update an iPhone 4 with IOS 4.2.1 to 4.3.5? Every time i connect it to iTunes (Windows 7 laptop), 2-3mins before finishing to 2 hour download, the screen will freeze and a window will pop out saying "cannot download software, timed out". I tried this on 5 occasions but always got the same response.
Can anyone help me find the solution to this? Appreciate your help. Thanks.

I got it. IOS 4.3.5 does not update on a Windows PC with a Windows 7 Starter version. I tried connecting the iPhone to a Windows PC with Vista and didn't have any problem updating from IOS 4.2.1. to 4.3.5.
Just thought you want to know.
Thanks.

In the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus.
As others have pointed out, this isn't malware. That should not be your first (or even fifty-first) thought when your Mac starts misbehaving. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
You mention "cleaning and maintenance." Have you been running utilities claiming to do those things? If so, you may be the victim of an overly-zealous cleaning job, which has removed important files and damaged your system.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're unable to open any applications at all... is that right? Do you have any backups? If you don't have backups, you're in a sticky situation, as it will be difficult to make backups in your current state, but you shouldn't try any kind of repairs without them. (Actually, you shouldn't do anything with your computer without backups, but this is especially important when something is going badly wrong.)
If you have backups, reboot from your Snow Leopard install disc. From there, first, repair the hard drive with Disk Utility. Once that is done, assuming repairs were successful, reinstall the system. You can simply reinstall it on top of your current system, and it will replace any damaged or lost system files with new copies. (You'll also need to update the system via Software Update after reinstalling.)
If you don't have backups, or if Disk Utility can't repair damage, or if the problem continues even after a reinstall, post back with those details.
