Can I update my software version from 4.0.1 to 5.0.1?
Dear friends,
I have an iphone, gifted to me, with a software version of 4.0.1. I have just been using it for more than a year now with itunes and other Apps. Everytime I connect it to the computer, it is telling that a new version 5.0.1 is available but I am afraid to download it fearing any adverse effect on my existing content and apps. (Especially so because I am not aware of its purchase details and other particulars). Some of the Apps I have do not get installed in my phone since they all need 4.3.0 or more. Please advise whether I can go ahead with downloading the latest version or whether any risks are associated.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Plug into iTunes, select iPhone under DEVICES and right click and do a backup first before you update to 5.0.1.
It will ask you to restore, so you can choose to restore from backup.

How do I update my Ipod version from 1.3 to 2.0 or higher?
Except for iPod touch (which runs iOS), each iPod model has different software. The version number doesn't really matter between different iPod models. The latest version of software for each iPod model is installed by iTunes.
Connect your iPod. In iTunes, select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. You should see a button there that says Check for Update. Click it. If there is an update available for your iPod model, it will be installed. If not, you already have the latest version of software for your iPod model. -
Can't update my software version
Hi! I've got a BB curve 8520. Its software version is currently v4.6.1.314 and my carrier is Orange (Spain).
I'm trying to update the device software to at least v.5.0 so I can use some applications that can't run with older versions, but it's not working...
My cellphone, my Blackberry Desktop Software and BB website all say there are no updates available for my device. However, Curve 8520 is supposed to accept v.5.0.
I also called my carrier, Orange, and they said my cellphone should be updating so problem...
Any ideas on what could I do?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Marta
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

I have an iPad (probably first generation - Model A1337 ). This tablet has iOS version 5.1.1.
I would like to update for the latest version as possible.
There is no option by iPad wifi.
I also tried by iTunes and in option Checking for UpDate, only let me know the current version, but doesn't open the possiblity to update for a newer.
How can I update the software version ?
tks
ReinaldoHi,
The first generation iPad is limited to iOS 5.1.1. This is due to the original iPad not having enough power or memory to get to iOS 6, 7 or any further in the future.
All other iPads and iPad Minis can get to the current version - iOS 7.0.4 and at least until the end versions of iOS 7 or iOS 8.
Hope this helps, and Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! -
You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software.??
I have recently been having issues signing into my Apple ID and decided to go in and update my email and change my password.
Since changing my email and password I have been unable to update any of my apps. I receive this error message when trying to update, "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."
I have looked into other forums and communities for a solution to this issue but from what I have read iTunes/Apple has yet to figure out a solution.
I have also read that the cause of this issue can be linked to two things.
One, is if you have multiple accounts on one computer. I only have one iTunes account/ Apple ID on this computer. This is my personal laptop and no one else has ever loaded on another account.
The second cause is linked to the country to which the apps were downloaded in. My computer and Apple ID were both created in the US, however 9 months ago I moved to New Zealand on a one year work holiday visa. Since living in New Zealand for the past 9 months I have been buying and updating apps, it wasn't until today when I received this error message.
I would really like to find a solution to this problem, but at the very least I would like to know what exactly caused this issue so that others may hopefully steer clear.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers.I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update. -

IPhoto was already on my MacBook Pro when i bought it.
Thank you for your help
ThierryWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Open App Store > Purchases, and see if iPhoto app is listed. If not, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 Apart from that, check that iPhoto is in Applications folder. If not, put it in this folder.
If nothing works, remove iPhoto, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto free of charge -

That Error message is indicative of a Hardware issue. The Device may need Service. Take it in for evaluation. -
Installed 11.0.3 today. Tried to update apps. iTunes response was, "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." I REALLY don't understand. I paid for MANY applications and stole or borrowed NOTHING.

You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software.

Next I have to post about a new problem in iPhoto on a new thread.... it lost the "link" between some but not all photos I have in the library and what it itself posted to FaceBook a few hours ago...
Incredibly frustrating.
