How do I update iphone 4 with ios 4.2?

Do you mean that you want to update your iphone that currently has 4.2 to the newest software 4.3.2?
If so, then update it as you always do, via itunes.  Click Check for updates.
If you want to upgrade to version 4.2, then you cannot as 4.3.2 is the latest.

    If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.

  • HT4623 How do you update iphone 4 ios version 4.0.1

    My Facebook app was crashing so I deleted it and tried to reinstall it but it says that I have to have IOS 4.3 to install.  I tried getting on FB through Safari and it still crashes there.  How do I update IOS on my iPhone 4? It doesn't have a place to update in the General section.

    You cannot update your operating system to anything other than the current one, which is iOS 6.0.  The safest way to do that is to download it in iTunes on your computer.  After the download is complete, you can connect your phone and update it.  Allow a number of hours for each procedure.

  • Updating iPhone with iOS 5 on another computer, will i lose my data?

    My iPhone was setup through a PC, I want to update to iOS 5 using a mac computer. If I sync my phone, will it lose all my iPhone data?

    You will lose everything if you sync to a new computer.   What you need to do is copy your itunes media library from your old computer to your new computer and then sync without losing info.

  • HT4623 update ipad with ios 4.3

    how do I update ipad with ios 4.3

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad 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).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    Hi Apple_Mom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

    I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
    I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
    All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
    PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
    PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

  • I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone becaus the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
    Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

  • HT4759 how do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by verizon

    How do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by Verizon?  The only contacts that show up in icloud are the ones I entered myself to the phone.

    You'll need to copy them to iCloud in order to see them on your PC.  To do this, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from Verizon) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the Verizon contacts back to your phone.  They should now be in iCloud, and appear on your PC.  You may see duplicate contacts on your phone because you are still viewing both the contacts from Verizon as well as the copies now in iCloud.
    Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups, tap the Groups that were imported from Verizon so they are unchecked and tap Done.  This will hide them from view and illiminate the duplicates.

    Are you sure you have a 3GS and not a 3G?  The 3G cannot be updated to iOS5.  What version are you on now?... Settings > General > About > Version
