How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

  • How do I update my iMac 7.1 software to accept the latest version of iTunes and hence talk to my iPad3?

    I have an iMac 7.1 purchased in 2007 which currently has OS X 10.5.8. Until 6 months ago it happily synched with my iPad3. Now it doesnt because I do not have the latest version of iTunes and that will not download because it is not supported by the OS which says there are no software updates. Any ideas of what I can do.

  • Is it safe to update my iPhone 4 16gb Softbank Locked to the latest OS? I'm hesitating to update its OS because I heard it might be permanently locked and I can't use it even as an iTouch. Please confirm!

    Is it safe to update my iPhone 4 16gb Softbank Locked to the latest OS? I'm hesitating to update its OS because I heard it might be permanently locked and I can't use it even as an iTouch. I understand that Softbank locked iPhone can never be unlocked, but not using this as a phone. I'm using this as an itouch.
    Please confirm if I can update its OS? or what happens when i Update its OS.

    If you are just using the device as an iPod touch, it won't matter if you update it, so long as you still have a Softbank SIM in the device. It doesn't have to be active, but you will need it to activate the device after you update the firmware. It won't be locked to where it cannot be used as a Touch, unless you consider not activating it, but that is something you can still do.

    when I sync my iphone it says that there is newer version of the software but when I click the 'update' button I am told that 'itunes' is the latest version? There seem to be a few apps that are not compatible with my phone and I am wondering if that is because it is not up to date or beacuse it is a 3gs?

    I recommend no less than 2GB's of RAM. There is no download for SL, you must purchase from Apple, $29 at any Apple store. Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. About the only place you can find a retail disk is eBay, however the prices are getting ridiculous.

  • I have updated my firefox version but it keeps on telling me that I do not have the latest version, even though I just updated it.

    On the homepage of firefox it sayd that I do not have the latest version of firefox. So i desidet to update it, but after that it kept on telling me that I do not have the latest version. I am sure that I have the latest version because I just updated it. Is it possible that the update did not work or is just an advertisement firefox shows to everyone? Hopefully you can provide me an answer, which would be helpful.
    Computer's operating system: vista (I do not know whether this is relevant)

    The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
    There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
    Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
    The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

    Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
    A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
    Hopefully you can sort it out.
    If not, there likely are fair parts in it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have updated Firefox, downloaded and install the update but everytime I open Firefox, I am told that I do not have the latest version, why?

    I have downloaded the update and installed it a few times and I still have the same issue, (not having the latest version). I am running windows XP.

    If you see the message in here: www.google.com/firefox
    '''you are updated '''see your user agent :
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 '''Firefox/9.0.1'''
    all you have to do is to '''set another page as the home page''', as '''cor-el '''said with very detailed explanation in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/905310 here]
    '''copied from cor-el reply:'''
    "That text about not running the latest Firefox version is hardcoded on the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox used as the home page and Google doesn't seem to maintain that page anymore. Current Firefox versions no longer use that Google site as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. So Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you about that and suggests to update. You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle)."

  • Applications problem: "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."

    Hi all,
    RE: Applications problem: "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."
    Until recently, I have not encountered this problem.  And I am facing this problem for both my iPad and iPhone. 
    I only have 1 iTunes account and the most recent change was that I switched the location from Singapore to UK (I'm currently in the UK).  I also updated my applications a couple of times before since the change in location, so I doubt it's due to the location change.  I've tried signing out of the account in the iTunes accounts on the devices, then signing back in.  I've also tried restarting the devices (and for the iPad, I even updated the iOS). 
    Any idea what else I can do to try to rectify this?
    Thanks and regards,
    Tammy

    Hi there!
    Thanks for replying!
    1.  Yup, my iOS is the latest (6.0.1), and I have 7 apps on my iPhone that apparently have updates.  But it's been 6.0.1 for quite some time and I've also been able to update the apps till just this week.
    2.  I don't have a credit card associated with my account anymore.  Ever since I changed the location, I removed the credit card details.  But I didn't have problems with any of my apps (updating or downloading new ones) until this week.  Also, all the apps I've downloaded since I came to the UK are free apps. 
    I still don't know what's wrong.

    You need to delete all Apps installed via that guy's ID, else ask him for his password. Thereafter, log off out of his ID.
    Login with your ID. Install Apps via own ID. That gives you complete ownership.
