Can't upgrade iPhone 3GS to ios4

My wife and I purchased 3GS iPhones shortly before the 4G was released. We both have identical Panasonic Toughbooks, mine is running Vista, and hers is running WinXP. Neither one of us can update from 3.1 to the latest 4.2 os.
We both have the latest version of iTunes. We both get the same error message, which is:
"The network connection time out
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later".
I am a moderately advanced computer user, not a newbie, but don't have a lot of experience with Apple products.
There is nothing wrong with our network connections that I can tell.
When I attempt to download the update iTunes indicates that it is downloading for five minutes--I have a download meter on my PC that indicates during this time that for those five minutes I am downloading at a rate of more than 5MB. Itunes indicates the download is complete and then shows the message "Processing file". After a couple of minutes we get the message above.
I've read through the support documents on the Apple website and made sure that the appropriate ports are open.
We are past the 90 period and thus ineligible for free support from Apple.
The apple store tells us we can make an appointment with a tech who will upgrade the phones for us, but the phones will be wiped clean of all contacts, address books, apps etc.
They assure us that once we sync up again to iTunes, all these things will be restored.
I have also read on some online forums that this upgrade may cause adverse reactions to my 3GS phone, such as slowing it down considerably.
Am I being unduly concerned about upgrading? Perhaps I would be better off leaving the phone as is with the older OS?
Any help is appreciated----AARGH!

Well I spoke too soon.
The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
+"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
+"Cannot Get Mail+
+THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now there's 21GB of Others. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now in itunes I can see there's 21GB of Others. I have no idea what is that. I didnt have that before the upgrade. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

I posted a fix for this temporary issue earlier but here it is in short:
The memory "hog" that is "others" seems to be the OS as it's installing. It seems to want more than 12GB and you may get stuck at the point where iTunes tries to load everything back on and the iPhone has run out of space. What you need to to is un-check the "sync" box at the apps, music, podcasts and other sections, then click the button to sync iTunes with iPhone. This will result in iTunes deleting all the data it restored, but you'll put it back later. Once you caused the deletion of most of the data, iOS5 will resume installing and then "magically" shrink to less than 1GB. Then you can place check marks back in the boxes and re-sync all your apps and other data. You will have plenty or memory left.
I followed the above procedure and my iPhone works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?

Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?
I'm all mac-based and followed the instructions for the upgrade to iOS6 software for iPhone but now my calendars won't synq. When I connect to iTunes and run the synq process, it gets stuck on the Calendar step and will not finish the synq process. I have to either wait for it to quit or force it to quit. Additionally, when I try to log a new event or meeting onto the Calendar on the iPhone, it will lock up and quit the app. I then have to shut down the iPhone to get it to open again but it just locks up again when I try to log a new event. Any suggestions? I'm tempted to do a back up and reinstall but don't want to risk any data loss.

Hi there,
I am using Rogers, which does support tethering.
The iPhone does not show up in the list of devices in the Bluetooth preference panel. It fails at the Pairing step of the Bluetooth setup assistant.
Cheers!

How to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3

how to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3
I dont want to upgrade it to 4.0 yet.
Just up to 3.1.3 from 3.0.1
how can i do it.

That's because Apple is no longer signing v3.1.3 nor any firmware other than iOS4. You could try following a downgrade to v3.1.3, see these:

This guide works for 3G but not 3GS, though there are some suggestions for 3GS users in there:

Disable your antivirus and firewall.
If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

HT3574 is there any application that can help my iphone 3GS with personal hotspot or tethering internet?

You don't need anything, as such is built directly into the iOS. Your carrier, however, needs to support such.
