I am so sorry to say " some lady".
But we were hoping with this being my first phone , (but a handme down), that we could do what the AT&T salesperson said to do , and that was save all my information then wipe out the phone and download the new 5.1 software to my (it is confirmed ) 3G phone which currently has 4.1 on it and is  not permitting me to download the new itunes to my phone.
Again,  you CANNOT get ios 5 at all. Cannot do it.  No ios 5.
What information do you want to save?
Your iphone can ONLY go to 4.2.1.  NOT 5.1.  Again.  NO ios 5.1.  ONLY 4.2.1

    How do we get a software update for realplayer that comes with the phone ?  Thanks.

    You wait for a firmware update that includes it.
    S60v5 phones also have a gizmo called "Application update". Sometimes elements in the firmware receive an update that way. For example, there was recently an update to FlashLite 3.1 on the 5800 XpressMusic.

  • How can i get a software update for an original ipod

    ????????

    Because a 1st generation ipod Touch simply doesn't have the necessary hardware to be able to run the later versions of the iOS.
    In other words, since the 1st generation Touch was designed, technology has moved on, new ideas have been thought about and the design of the Touch has been improved as a result.
    You cannot however, bring an old iPod (or any other device) up to modern standards forever. At some point, the improvements will outstrip the abilities of the older devices.

    how to update iphone 4s when it says needs 2.5 gb of available storage?

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • Software update for iphone 3g?

    Could you please tell me why there isnt a new software update for the iphone 3g latest being 4.2.1?
    Surely when you invest in an iphone and at the cost of them Apple should always provide update so you can actually use/download the apps?
    Can anyone tell me if i can do anything to get better software or how i can use the apps?
    Is there a software update due?

    Could you please tell me why there isnt a new software update for the iphone 3g latest being 4.2.1?
    Because the hardware in the iPhone 3G is insufficient to run the newer features of the newer versions of iOS.
    Can anyone tell me if i can do anything to get better software
    If you mean iOS, you can't. iOS 4.2.1 is the last version your iPhone will run.
    or   how i can use the apps?
    You'll need to find apps that the developers have kept compatible with older versions of iOS and older iPhone hardware. Or buy a new, or newer, iPhone.
    Is there a software update due?
    The chances that there will be any further updates to iOS for the iPhone 3G are vanishingly small.

  • How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

    I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
    So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it.  Apple has me confused.
    Anybody have a clue?

    Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
    P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals.  I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
    I'll call Apple tomorrow.

  • Software Update for iphone 4s

    I did the software update for my iphone 4s last night and now my incoming text messages show the person's phone number instead of their name when I get a text.  Is there a fix to this so I can see their name and not try to guess who's number it is?
    Also, after the update, Siri wouldn't call the people I asked to call.  I even tried 3 different people.  Fix?

    Look at the right panel on this page, under "More Like This" - seems what you describe has been mentioned many times and could be a bug.  Just follow the links to read other threads about similar posts.

  • HT5554 how do i get an unlock code for iphone 3

    How can I get the unlock code for my iphone 3, I never had an acct with ATT and they refuse to help me, anyone have any suggestions?

    Apple would not be able to help you even if your iPhone was not jailbroken. Unlocking is completely up to the carrier, and AT&T's polices are clear; you must be a current or former customer.
    Sorry, but there is no way you can get the iPhone officially unlocked, and we cannot help with hacking the iPhone in these forums.
    Regards.

  • HT4972 I don't have the software updates in my general settings so how do I get the software updates I'll need for Facebook & instagram etc?

    I don't have the software updates in my general settings so how do I get the updates to use instagram, Facebook etc? Any help appreciated

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • HT1338 How do I get the Lion update for the HP Photosmart 3210 All in One Printer?  The auto software update says none are available, while HP says one is available.

    I just installed LION and no Power PC Apps work. 
    HP says there are updates for Lion from MAC APP store for the HP 3210 PhotoSmart All in Printer and provided instructions.
    I followed these but no updates were visible or installed.  Any idea why?
    Is there a place where I can look at Apple for an update? 
    If no update is available, can anyone recommend a good flatbed scanner for under $400 that works with Lion?

    Hi,
    The drivers do available from Apple and your Mac may fails from getting them due to any connectivity or installed software issue.
    First make sure you don't have any previous OS drivers installed:
    Open Finder, then click Go > Computer and select the active volume of your OS.
    (If have couple and not sure which one is correct, click the Apple icon > About This Mac.)
    Open Library\Printers and move the HP folder to the trash.
    Enter into PPDs\Contents\Resources, search for 3200 in that folder and move the results files.
    Reboot your Mac, ensure the printer is turned on, in Ready state and directly connected to your Mac.
    Enter Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and you shoud see your printer listed.. select it and click Install.
    If no printers appears at all there is a connectivity issue.. ensure it is directly connected and not through any USB hub or adaptor, the cable is not longer than 2m length.. otherwise try a new USB cable.
    If the printer appears but stil cannot locate drivers for yoru printer download and install the package below and then try adding the printer again:

  • Signed up for free software download of Lion, I got the code to redeem it on the App Store but lost the code, how can I retrieve it to get the software update for free?

    I bought my new Macbook on July 23, so that qualified me for the free Lion software update. I entered in all my info and then accidently clicked out of the screen before I wrote down the code to redeem it.  I tried to do it again but of course it said my system had already been issued a redeem code.  Is there a way I can get it back so I can get the update for free?

  • How do I get a iOS update for my iPod Touch 2nd gen.? Where's the love for us?

    How come no updates for iOS for 2 gen iPod touch owners like me?
    Where's the love for us?

    Did you think that your ipod would get software updates forever?
    Really?  This is noting new or unusual at all. 
    The older hardware in computers/ipods/iphones/televisions/dvd players/cars/etc does not support any and all new software that ever comes out.
    Your ipod touch operates as it always has - with several updates from the original software.  However, the newest software is not available for the 2nd gen.
