If you plug you iPhone to your computer, iTunes should warn you about a available update.

How can I update my iPhone 3gs to ios 4.3?
I really do hope that someone out there can offer me some guidance on this matter.
I am unable to download Facebook and most other apps. I have already done a Google search for this question and keep ending up at the same guide, telling me that it should be on my phone (the option to update software) however it isn't due to an early operating system. I have tried to do it via iTunes and am running the latest version, but no joy. It says no updates available.
I really hope that someone can assist me with this.
Thank you in advance!Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If iTunes told you that you are running the most recent version, you have an iPhone 3G, that is only compatible with iOS 4.2.1. You can't upgrade to a later version -

How can I update my iPhone 3gs to iOS4, after iOS5 came out?
I am still running iOS 3 (1.3) on my iPhone 3GS and I'm happy with it - but all the new apps requires iOS4 and now I'm sick of this. I want iOS4 (and not iOS5, cause it will drain my battery as far as I've understood).
How can I update my iPhone 3GS in a normal way to iOS4, through iTunes or another easy way? I have never jailbreaked an iPhone so I don't know too much about "backdoors" into my iPhone.The only Firmware in the iOS 4 series that Apple is still signing for the iPhone 3GS is 4.1. So you could restore to 4.1. You will have to download the 4.1 IPSW from Apple, and then install it with iTunes, Option Click Mac or Shift Click Windoz, on the Restore Button and then select the 4.1 IPSW on your computer. The current iTunes may give meaningless Errors, I doubt because you are Upgrading. But if Error Message is given you will have to search the Web for ways to Exit Recovery.

I tried to update my iphone 3gs from ios 5 to 6 but because of software crash and while restoring with ios 6 it is not activated. Now I degrade it in ios 4 and can not use any app. How can I update this iphone?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
You'll need to go elsewhere for support. -

To expand on the 1/2-answer that Diesel gave;
The first thing you should look into is which version of iTunes you have. If you're not running iTunes 10, then you're not going to be able to update your phone past iOS 4.2.
Depending on what kind of system you're using, there are several reasons why your iTunes may be out of date:
In the Mac world, if you're not running a version of OS/X newer than 10.5.x (Leopard) then iTunes won't upgrade to the latest version (10). If you have a pre-2006 G-series processor Mac, you're pretty-much stuck at 10.4.x (Tiger) or lower and, sadly, Apple/iTunes doesn't support those machines any more. If your Mac is newer than 2006 but older than 2008, you'll likely be stuck at finding a copy of Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and you need to see your local Apple service provider to see if they can get you updated.
If you're running a Windows workstation, I believe that any Windows machine that's still running XP patched to Service Pack 2 or later should still be able to install and use iTunes 10. The system requirements can be found on the iTunes download page. If for some reason your iTunes has stopped doing its updates (or won't do them) you'll probably need to re-install iTunes. Installing over-top of the old iTunes should work and you won't loose any of your data - however, just in case, you should back-up your computer prior to making any significant changes to the software.
Now, Diesel also made the assumption that you may only have a 3G phone and not a 3Gs. To verify this not the case, plus for anyone who may be reading this and has any doubt, this link will help you identify your phone. iOS 5 and later does not support phones older than the 3Gs, and its unlikely that your cellular service provider will for very long either.
Good luck. -

Hi Team,
I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1. While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected. Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not.
and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only. I am not looking for iOS 7 right now. Please suggest the update process?You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

I have updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the orginal sim card in america but as i live in ireland an american simcard wont work here is there any way i can unlock ios 5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 so i can use my iphone ?
It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone. When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this. -
i updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5.0.1 from ios 4 , now its saying that sim is not activated but the sim is still inside
PLSS HELP ME OUT !!!!Sounds like your phone was hacked to work with any network. Doing the update re-locked it to the original carrier. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to to see if they have an unlocking policy. Note that if it's AT&T they do not offer unlocking. otherwise find an un-activated sim for the original carrier and you can use it as an iPod.
