How i can install software update for iphone 3g

il try open it> itunes comes up and do nothing...

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The normal method of upgrading the iPhone is to connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable, open iTunes app on the computer, highlight the phone in the devices list and click the button to Update the phone. iTunes then downloads and installs the new iOS. Is this what you are doing?

    These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

  • Software update for iphone 3g?

    Could you please tell me why there isnt a new software update for the iphone 3g latest being 4.2.1?
    Surely when you invest in an iphone and at the cost of them Apple should always provide update so you can actually use/download the apps?
    Can anyone tell me if i can do anything to get better software or how i can use the apps?
    Is there a software update due?

    Could you please tell me why there isnt a new software update for the iphone 3g latest being 4.2.1?
    Because the hardware in the iPhone 3G is insufficient to run the newer features of the newer versions of iOS.
    Can anyone tell me if i can do anything to get better software
    If you mean iOS, you can't. iOS 4.2.1 is the last version your iPhone will run.
    or   how i can use the apps?
    You'll need to find apps that the developers have kept compatible with older versions of iOS and older iPhone hardware. Or buy a new, or newer, iPhone.
    Is there a software update due?
    The chances that there will be any further updates to iOS for the iPhone 3G are vanishingly small.
    Regards.

  • Software Update for iphone 4s

    I did the software update for my iphone 4s last night and now my incoming text messages show the person's phone number instead of their name when I get a text.  Is there a fix to this so I can see their name and not try to guess who's number it is?
    Also, after the update, Siri wouldn't call the people I asked to call.  I even tried 3 different people.  Fix?

    Look at the right panel on this page, under "More Like This" - seems what you describe has been mentioned many times and could be a bug.  Just follow the links to read other threads about similar posts.

  • Installing Software Updates for Leopard 10.5.5

    Hello, I am having difficulty installing software updates on my Macbook.
    I get updates each week regarding my software. I click to install the updates, the computer restarts and begins to install the update, and then the screen that shows the installation progress seems to stop at a certain point on the installation status bar and remains like that for hours. When I try to refresh the screen or move around my cursor, the status bar remains the same and it never seems like the installation was completed. I end up forcing a shutdown and then restart the computer.
    As a result, I am not sure if the software update is ever completed because everytime I try to update my software, the same things happens. Anyone know why this is happening?

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2383 which implies you should download and install the 10.5.6 update; however, I recommend that you copy the Upgrade folder's contents to another folder, rather than putting it into the trash, restart, and then try Software Update again. Note that the Update folder contains installers for previously downloaded updates, which you might want to retain. Once you update everything, you can move everything except the index.plist back into the folder.

  • Why do i always get a message saying that the when trying to dowload the software update for iphone 4? it is a brand new handset and a clean install of itunes.

    i am trying to update my iphone 4 to the latest software version as promted on itunes and it gives me a timed out message. and an error code (err = 3259) it was downloading fine and then once it reached the end of the download it just stopped and gave me the error message. does anyone know why it would be doing this? i have only just recieved my iphone 4 today and i only installed itunes on my laptop which has never had itunes installed on previously.
    also just a random one, the usb lead i have got for my new phone doesnt seem very durable...and i know my last usb lead went funny, and ive seen friends who have had to resort in wire tape....does anyone know if the usb lead is covered by the warrenty?

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • How do i get a software update for iphone 3g from 4.1 to 5.1

    How do I update my iphone 3g from the version 4.1 to 5.1 from my phone?

    I am so sorry to say " some lady".
    But we were hoping with this being my first phone , (but a handme down), that we could do what the AT&T salesperson said to do , and that was save all my information then wipe out the phone and download the new 5.1 software to my (it is confirmed ) 3G phone which currently has 4.1 on it and is  not permitting me to download the new itunes to my phone.
    Again,  you CANNOT get ios 5 at all. Cannot do it.  No ios 5.
    What information do you want to save?
    Your iphone can ONLY go to 4.2.1.  NOT 5.1.  Again.  NO ios 5.1.  ONLY 4.2.1

  • Software update for iphone does not work

    although I have a well functioning connection with the internet after loading the actual update 4.3.1.for my iPhone 4 it says sth. like time out fault, check your internet connection or try later
    I am using windows vista
    anyone having the same problem or can help ?
    thanks

    Do you mean you're having a problem trying to download the update, install the update, after the update is installed trying to re-activate the phone? I assume you're getting this message on your PC, not the phone...? Or are you having problems with Internet connectivity on the phone itself? WiFi or 3G?
    If it's problems on the PC, try disabling all antivirus/firewall software and see if that takes care of it.
