How do I update my husband's 3G iphone that has never been updated in 2.5 years?

My Husband has never updated his phone since he got it in Dec 2009.  Now his internet & any devices that require 3G or WiFi do not work.  It has never been connected to an Apple ID, and never been synced with any account.  I can't seem to be able to add it to my account to update it.  Any help?
It currently has 3.1.2
Thanks

Connect it to iTunes. If it doesn't automatically prompt you to update, click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes, and click Check for Updates.

  • How do I get a refund on Export PDF that has ALREADY been agreed

    On 1/21-1/22 I tried to 'renew' a subscription for Export PDF. By some error (maybe mine - I just dont understand the whole thing) my Bank was immediately charged for two subscriptions, each at a different price. I immediately "chat"ted with several  reps (it was difficult to get onto the chat and find out how to cancel) and was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded. They weren't!
    I waited a week. Was again frustrated by the chat hookup, and tried the 'cloud' retail product tel #, assuming it was wrong but that I could be switched to the correct one. Had a very pleasant chat, was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded, received 2 e-mails confirming the cancellations, each with a seperate "Case #". Felt pretty good! It had only taken me a week of reasonably diligent effort to get a very simple thing done! IT WASN"T DONE! (Yes, I apologize - I know I'm loud - but by now I've got steam coming out of my ears!)
    Today I got an e-mail, telling me that the refund had been processed and the case # would be closed. I looked at my bank, and only one had been refunded! I reviewed all the other e-mails and the notes from the telephone calls and chats to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something. But, no I hadn't. I went to my Adobe on-line and looked up 'my orders' history. Sure enough one had been invoiced and refunded ( the lesser charge of the two) but the other had ONLY BEEN INVOICED - NOT CANCELLED. And it seems that every piece of this transaction generates a new "order" , "case" or some other "reference #" - none of which are tied together, except by the invoice amount, when it is mentioned - which it typically IS NOT.
    My question, then, is : How can I get past this absolute frustration over every aspect of my interaction with Adobe and GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?????????

    Hi Stacy,
        What frustration? (Just kidding !)
        As I mentioned, one of the two charges has been  refunded. Credited by
    Adobe on Jan 28, I believe I received it in my bank on Jan  30.
        The other charge, $25.37 of order # AD011017507,  has not been received
    by my bank yet. But this can't be that much of a surprise,  and has nothing
    to do with "10 business days" for refunds to post.
        To this minute, "My Orders" on Adobe website shows  that the order #
    AD011017507  was invoiced on January 22, but that no  credit invoice has been
    posted against this order to this moment!
        Can you begin to understand the frustration of  being unable, through
    all attempts to untangle this mess, starting within  one hour of the original
    order, with I believe nine different "Chats",  telephone calls and, finally
    a "problem" posting,  stretching over more  than thirteen days. Of course
    it doesn't make much sense to devote this much  attention to less than $50
    worth of stuff, but I do not let things like this  dangle.
        And can you imagine how loathe I am to deal with  Adobe for fear of
    some real problem?
        At any rate, I would certainly be pleased if you  can suggest a way for
    me to extricate myself from this. Any help would be  GREATLY appreciated!
        Thanks for your time and any trouble,
        Stephen Ellis

  • How can I verify credit of an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    How can I verify credit for an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    Have you checked the account's purchase history to see if anything could have used up the balance : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ?
    If there aren't any purchases then try logging out and back into the account (e.g. on your iPad tap on your id in Settings > Stores and then log back in) and see if a balance then shows on it. My account's balance shows at the top right of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, by clicking on my name towards the top right of the iTunes screen, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iPad devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

  • Updated to iOS 5 and now photos sent with text message show as sent, but are not received to an iPhone that has not been updated.

    Updated  to iOS 5 and tried sending a message with a phot to an iPhone that has not been updated. My message shows as sent, but neither the text or photo are received. Text alone works fine.

    This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

  • How to connect my iPad to my laptop when it has never been connected to a device before

    i need to update my iPad to the new iOS and i need more space in order to do it, i have over 3,000 photos that i dont want to use not to mention game save data that i ideally dont want to loose. it has never been connected to any other device before and i want to know in confidence that i wont loose anything. my laptop is a windows 8 (and everytime i connect something to it, it normally corrupts it)
    Many thanks
    and Merry Christmas

    Just plug it in and you should see a window come up asking what you want to do. Then you can choose to import your photos. Game save data will be backed up with iTunes once you get that installed.

    You need to connect it to a computer to update it as described in that article.

  • IPhone cannot connect to server: I have one iPhone that has just been updated to 5.1.1 that now cannot receive email, other devices that have been updated continue to work!

    We run a SBS 2003 Exhange box, however since an over-the-air update this particular handset has refused to recieve mail from Exchange (apparently Yahoo had issues too).
    Authentication is fine, it will happily recognise the account if it is deleted and set up - once the user tries to recieve mail however it will annonce that the connection to the server failed.
    We have several other devices on the same iOS version and others below which are working fine!
    Mobile access is enabled along with all expected services with no errors being flagged in the event manager for this user - I'm not wondering what might be the cause! Something in his mail box that iOS 5.1.1 doesn't like?!
    Short of a backup/restore of the device I'm can't see anything to help...

    It would worth your asking in the Final Cut Pro X forum - someone else may have experienced the same problem.
    I assume you have already trashed Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dotmac... (several files beginning with this) and (same path) com.apple.idisk - though I suspect the problem lies rather with the individual programs which are trying to access something on the non-existent iDisk.

  • How do I make a correction to a document that has already been sent out for e-signature?

    I thought I posted this question this morning but I don't see it in the forum so I'm posting again.  I apologize if it shows up twice.
    For example, let's say I have a 40-page document that I need someone to sign. I spend 15 minutes to add all of the "initial here" and "sign here" fields to the Echosign document.
    Then I send the document out for signature.
    The recipient says, "It looks like you missed a spot where I was supposed to initial on the document."
    It seems the only way I know how to fix this now is to:
    1. Void the current document
    2. Re-import the PDF from my computer into Echosign
    3. Spend another 15 minutes inserting all the "initial here" and "sign here" fields.
    4. Re-send out the document for him to sign
    There must be a better way, right?  Docusign says they have the ability for the document sender to make a correction to an existing document and re-send it out, and there is also a capability for the signer to make corrections to the document (which would be initialed by any other signers later)
    Mike

    Esign services don't allow for red-lining. The assumption is that final approved documents are used.
    So indeed if you spot a mistake which means it voids the contract you indeed cancel the outstanding one and start over.
    To avoid re-doing field do one of 2 things:
    Upload the document as library template and enable form field layers.
    Should you need to start over, upload the document again, but apply the previously created form field layer:
    first under the dashboard use the add template to library
    check the option for Create as reusable form field layer
    upload a document and add fields as needed.
    When you upoad the same or similar document, youcan apply the form field layer:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/reusable-form-field-layer.html
    or markup the source document with text tags:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/adding-esign-services-agreement-fields.html
    this means the form fields will already be part of the document prior to uploading to eSign services.

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • I could not see how to continue after upgrade to firefox 4. This has never been a problem with ast upgrades. I am finding Firefox to be very user unfriendly for non-tech people.

    I am being told that my current version of firefox is no longer protected. When I tried to upgrade to firefox 4 some time ago, the menu bar(?) was gone--no bookmarks. I set my computer back to an earlier date to get my book marks back and have been afraid to attempt this upgrade again. Firefox also appears to have tried to do the upgrade automatically and says I have incompatible add-ons. I have never had problems with previous updates. I have read negative reviews of firefox 4 and am frankly afraid of it. I hate to leave firefox and am afraid of losing my book marks as well. I find the "Help" forums etc. here extremely difficult to navigate and they seem to be aimed at people who are more tech savy than many of us are.

    #Firefox 3.5.19 which you are using is no longer supported and is not being updated for any issues, including security problems.
    #The Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) was replaced in Firefox 4 by the "Firefox button" in the upper left corner
    #*You can turn the Menu Bar back on by doing one of the following in Firefox 4:
    #**click Firefox button, click Options, click Menu Bar to select it
    #**HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM
    #**right-click on an empty space in the Navigation Toolbar, then click Menu Bar to select it.
    #Some information about Firefox 4 changes:
    #*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
    #*there is a link "watch the video" under '''''Improved Interface''''' on the above page
    #You can make Firefox 4 look more like prior versions: http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
    Your bookmarks should be safe during the upgrade; they are in a separate place on your hard drive. You should keep them backed-up in case of any problems with your system. See:

    Can anyone help direct me to the correct site to get the most current iso update for my phone? It still has the original iso and when I went to AT&T store they said it would have to be done thru a computer which I do not have access to one at home. (NO INTERNET)

    If you don't want to delete everything then disconnect it and use the computer that you previously synced with.

  • How do I save a location to a folder that has already been established

    I want to save a new location to a folder that contains like subjects. How do I accomplish this? In IE you get a drop down list of all current folders from which to choose. I do not see this feature in Firefox

    See:
    *Add Bookmark Here 2: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/
    * Clicking the star in the location bar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.
    * The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder shows in the sidebar and the Library, but not in the Bookmarks menu drop down list.
    * Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that).
    * "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page or by using the keyboard (Alt+B) to open the bookmarks menu.
    * If the URL in the location bar is bookmarked (star at the right end is yellow/blue) then click the highlighted star or use "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) to edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark.
    * Click the star at the right end of the location bar once to bookmark the current site and click the highlighted star a second time to open the "Edit This Bookmark" window and move the bookmark to another folder or edit the name.
