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.

    Sorry, you can't. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for an iPhone 3G, there are no further updates available. You'll have to purchase a new phone in order to run a higher iOS.

    This is a concern amoung many corporate users.  It's going to take somekind of policy change with apple.

  • HT4623 i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?

    i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?

    If you never upgraded to iOS5 then you won't have the option to upgrade your phone "over the air".  To do an upgrade, connect your phone to iTunes and select the phone on the left menu bar.  You will see an option on the main page to Check for Update.  Select that and your phone will update to iOS6.
    It is recommended that you do a full backup of your phone before you begin the upgrade process.
    Hope this helps.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How do I update from iOS 6.0.1 to iOS 7.1? As I've never updated my phone since buying from a friend and my phone won't allow me to update to iOS 8??

    How do i update my iOS 6.0.1 to iOS 7.1? As I've never updated my phone since buying from a friend and my phone won't allow me to update to iOS 8??

    An iPhone 4S can only be updated directly to iOS 8.1.2. You need to resolve the issue which prevents you from updating to it instead of attempting to install an intermediate version.
