How do I update my iphone 3gs with v4.3.3? Ihave tried 3 times but it keeps timing out.

Whenever I connect my 3gs to the desktop, I receive a message saying that there is a new version of software (v 4.3.3) available for downloading. On 3 separate occasions I have downloaded the software, which has taken in excess of 3 hours, only to find that there has been an error - 'download failed as session timed out'.
Any idea how to overcome the problem?
Thanks.

Most common cause of this is security software on your computer: Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, Firewalls. So, disable all of that stuff & try again.

  • HT4623 update my iphone 3GS with iOS

    Tried to update my iphone 3Gs with ios6.  Went to settings, tapped General but don't see Software or anything else that will help me download the new software.  Want to do this to set up iCloud for my iphone, ipad and macbook.

    open itunes - plug your phone to your computer - itunes should automatically read that your phone needs an update.
    You should do a backup of your phone before you update.

  • 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.

  • Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
    1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
    2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
    3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
    4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
    5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
    Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external).

    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.

  • I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data. Can I go back to IOS 5.1?

    I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data!
    Can I restore back to IOS 5.1?

    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.

    Contacts are NOT part of the iTunes backup.  If you had read the User Guide when you got your phone, you would have learned that Apple recommends you synch your contacts for safekeeping to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud service.  Using the phone as your only source of your contacts is foolish as the phone can easily be lost, damaged, stolen, or the data become corrupt.
    If you've been using your phone as strongly recommended, your contacts are safe and sound on your computer or cloud service ready to be synched back to your phone.  Of course, you should be backing up your computer regularly as well.
    If you haven't been doing this, your contacts are likely gone.

  • HT4972 i tried to update my iphone 3GS with IOS 6 and lost EVERYTHING! Help!

    I tried to update my iphone 3GS with IOS6 and the update was incomplete.  It then said retry so I did and it synced with my daughters ipod touch causing me to lose ALL of my information.  Is there any way to retrieve my previous information or reset my phone to what it was?  Unfortunately I dont thing I backed up my contacts, pictures, etc.

    If KiltedTim is correct I agree with him. If the phone is not hacked try temporarily disabling your antivirus and firewall that may be blocking access to gs.apple.com. See also this article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
