how can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5

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.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I upgraded My 3GS to ios 5.0.1 but it won't activate and just tells me to try again later because the activationserver is down

    I upgraded My 3GS to ios 5.0.1 but it won't activate and just tells me to try again later because the activationserver is down. I have tried both with and without a SIM and it still doesn't work. I also tried connecting it to itunes but it didn't help.
    Anyone how knows what to do?

    Activation issues are typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • How to upgrade my iPhone for iOS 4.0

    how to upgrade my iPhone for iOS 4.0

    If you have an iPhone 3g you can upgrade to iOS 4.2.1.  If you have a 3gs or later, you can upgrade to iOS 6 (only).  Connect your phone to the computer you normally sync with, and update from iTunes.
    The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

    You can't. Only the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS can ever have iOS 6.1.6, and neither of those can run iOS 7.

  • 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:

  • How can I go back to iOS 6, iOS 7 is buggy and just looks dreadful?

    After using iOS7 since Tuesday, it is becoming ever clearer just how awful this update is. Beyond the icons which seem to include a colour pallette of 16 million different shades - and use all of them - iOS 7 seems to have included some changes which defy all logic altogether e.g. the volume icon which appears when you're watching videos was always transparent and unobtrusive, now it's opaque and blocks out a good share of the screen - WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
    As I say, how can upgrade back to iOS 6?

    Apple does not support downgrading! Sorry!

    I am trying to update my iTunes to 10.5.1 so that I can upgrade my 3GS phone but am getting the following error message when trying to install the itunes: Install step failed: Run pre upgrade script for apple mobile device support. Contact software manufacturer for assistance. I am on a MacBook pro running 10.5.8 OS. Has anyone seen this before and how can I get it resolved.
    Thanks for your help in advance....

    Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
    Thanks!

    As a 20 year customer of ours, we certainly appreciate your loyalty Richey_Rich. I know the importance of ensuring you have a properly operating phone. Can you please clarify which button on the device is not working? Is there any physical or water damage to your phone? Any applications that stay running?

    That doesn't make a lot of sense but, as a guess, you're asking what to do if you want to install apps that require a higher version of the system software. And the answer is you can't install apps that require anything above 5.1.1

  • TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

    My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?
    i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

    You cannot 'roll back' your iOS.  That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
    Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
    It's not the iOS.  It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue.  But it's not the iOS.  If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
    Troubleshoot your issue.
