All that I have read indicates I should be able to upgrade the IOS of a Iphone 3gs from ver 4.2.1 to 4.3 or 5.0 at the least. Most apps have been upgraded to 4.3 minimum. All unavailable to me using ver 4.2.1. How can I upgrade to 4.3 or are there probs
Why cannot the Iphone 3gs be upgraded from ios 4.2.1 to 4.3 or 5.0
Perhaps yours is an iPhone 3G and not a 3Gs...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I am currently using Tiger 10.4.11 how can I upgrade to Panther?
Hi I have a iMacg5 intel, currently using Tiger 10.4.11 how can I upgrade to 10.5? Thanks in advance, Rene.
There is no iMac G5 Intel,
"G5" is a PowerPC processor and "Intel" is well a Intel processor.
10.5 is Leopard
10.6 is Snow Leopard whichh only runs on Intel processors)
10.7 is coming out soon and doens't run on 32 bit Intel Core Duo processors.
You can find out exactly what machine you have by going to the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More information.
Look for something like "iMac 1,2" and post what you see here.
You might have to have someone from a Mac friendly computer shop come take a look at your machine, set you up, backup your files and set a backup plan in place and so forth.
Problems with third party software could arise, and you might be forced to upgrade software. All that will have to be investigated before you proceed with a operating system upgrade.
Don't want to be caught later paying for upgrades you might not be able to get. -

How do I update the ios on an iphone 4 from versioon 4.2.8 to the most recent?
Plug your phone to your PC - open itunes - itunes should automatically see that your phone needs an upgrade.
Make sure you backup prior to updating.
YOu may also need to update your itunes. -
after updating my iphone 3gs from os 4 to os 5.1.1, it left with activating the phone but i've been trying since and is still not activating, the notification given is ''activition server temporarly unavilable". can somebody help me out?
First use JPanel not Panel.
Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
panels=new Panel();
panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
panels=new JPanel();
panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

After an upgrade of iOS on my iPhone 3GS the App Store doesn't find any applications. Why ??
I just upgraded my old iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.1.6 hoping it would allow me to use at least some basic apps, but seems like the searching engine the App Store doesn't work and I can't even find any of them.
Any ideas what could be the reason ?
Please help !

Halo, how do i upgrade the IOS on my iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 4.3? please help.
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

Have new Airport Extreme conneted via ethernet cable from HughesNet Gen4 modem. Using NetGear WN3500RP extender. NetGear asks for different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Most of what I have read indicates extender should have same name as main network? How is it best to configure with the Airport Extreme router 802.11ac?
Different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks are optional, but can be convenient for you to distinguish one from another. It's up to you.

Have a iPhone 3GS from australia given to me by my sister. I live in the UK and it won't accept my pay as you go sim card. I don't know which network it is locked into. What can I do to unlock it?
Your Sister will have to arrange for the iPhone to be unlocked in Australia
If it can be accomplished whilst iPhone is in UK
Fortunately all the Aussie carriers do offer unlocking -
I have apple iPhone 4S upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 and everything was working fine suddenly my Wifi was not connecting and found the wifi on/off button is greyed out and to enable it I tried all resets but still my problem have not solved, still wifi is off
Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system. I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success. I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data). How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)? If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
had to restore my ipod, most apps have gone back on with no probs but three of them saying incompatible can anyone help please
Hi Skydiver119
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible? -

I have done upgrade to 8.1.2. Now iPad a iPhone will will not connect to iTunes, iCloud or do updates on apps.Shows message "unable to connect" or "error in connecting" as well as "unable to verify". How can this be sorted? Thanks
Hi,
Thanks.
I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
Thanks -
HT4972 I no longer have a PC or Mac. How can I upgrade to iOS 5?
I no longer have a PC or Mac. How can I upgrade to iOS 5?
Your iPhone can be updated to the latest firmware in an Apple Store but you would lose all the information off your phone.
If your happy to do this, may I recommend backing up to iCloud once you are on iOS 5.1.1 and then you will be able to perform future upgrades over wifi and restore your phone from your iCloud account should you ever need to in the future.
The other option might be to back your iPhone upto a friends computer without syncing and this might be the only way you could restore everything back onto your updated phone.
Also download apps to back up your contacts online so that you can restore them also after the update.
May I suggest Contacts Backup app which enables you to back up your contacts by email, Dropbox or via USB.
Hope this helps.
