How long to upgrade iphone software to Version 4

My iphone has Version 3.1.3 and I am attempting to upgrade to Version 4 but the back up phase of the upgrade appears to be taking forever.
My iphone has a capacity of 14.28GB, with 12.02GB free so there should not be too much data to back up, yet it seems to be stuck in the back up phase.

I just left my iphone slowly working through and am pleased to say that after a considerable time (not sure how long as I gave up on it and went to watch a movie)it managed to get through the process and now appears to be up and running with the new software.

  • How can i upgrade Iphone software without having to spend £132 on Mac OS?

    I have OS 10.4.11 and want to upgrade my iphone to new sw version but cant as I can only upgrade Itunes to version 9.1.1. on this OS.
    Is there any way I can upgrade my Iphone without having the expense of upgrading my Mac OS (I would have to purchase the Mac Box set at £132)?

    If you have an Intel Mac, all you need is the $29 upgrade disk. Regardless of what you might read or be told, the $29 upgrade disk will install a full copy of SL.

  • How do I upgrade my software from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 for my iPhone 4s

    I have a new iPhone 4S but can't upload to iTunes, I've found it it's due to my software upgrade but don't know how to do this? How do I upgrade my software? I keep getting lost on Apple website. Help!

    Yes. Your Mac can be upgraded to Leopard but I would recommend that you upgrade to Snow Leopard instead. It will actually be cheaper. Just buy the install DVD for Snow Leopard for $29.
    Then you can upgrade to iTunes 10.5.3.

  • Just upgraded iphone 4s to version 6 now itunes wont detect it. Any fixes or ideas?

    Just upgraded iphone 4s to version 6, now itunes either doesnt detect it or says I need new version of itunes (which I'm up to date on). Any ideas or fixes?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.

    Around the Same
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

    When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

    Did anyone solve this?
    I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
    I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!

  • Having problems updating iphone software to version 5.0

    I currently have version 4.3.1 and finally decided to update iphone software to version 5.0.  It goes through the 6 minute process, but then I get the error message:  "There was a probem downloading the software for the IPhone -----.  The network connection ttimed out.  Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active or try again later."
    I've tried several times and keep getting the same message.  My network connection is active and I've just the firewall and made sure it allows itunes updates.
    Please help!  Any other suggestions?  When answering please be very specific - I'm really clueless with the computer. 
    Thanks in advance!

    try this,
    Plug in, click update software, and click download ONLY.
    Let the ipsw file download complete,... then click update.
    This way is much better. If you keep having error message, its either your internet connection is inconsistent or Apple's server is inconsistent... usually more likely the former.
