    Please Help Me,
    How to update iOS 6 in IPod 2nd generation , i cant any app download

    You do not. The hardware in the 2G does not support higher than 4.2.1
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    <Edited by Host>

    With the IMEI number I was able to check your iPhone's simlock status, it is locked. If it's jailbroken and you are updating the phone to a higher iOS you will lose your unlock and jailbreak status. As for updating the iPhone, you can plug your iPhone into a computer via USB and run iTunes, it should then automatically scan for a newer version of iOS.

  • How to update ios 6 to ios 7 without updating straight to ios 8

    how to update ios 6 to ios 7 without updating straight to ios 8? I am still running on ios 6

    You can't. If your device qualifies for the most recent iOS version (your iPhone 4S does), that is the version that will be installed. If, on the other hand, your device was an iPhone 4 (not the S), the device does *not* qualify for iOS 8 so iOS 7 would instead be installed.

  • HT1338 How to update ios 7?

    Can help me how to update iOS 7?

    Hi, how are you going about it at present? Are you trying via Wi-Fi or by linking your phone to a computer and using iTunes?
    There is a massive, massive demand for this at present so if you've started to download the software and then get an error message, close 'Settings' and retry again. The same is true if you're seeing a massive time for download displayed, 20+ hrs.
    Keep trying at different times, I had about 5-6 attempts before it worked for me last night on both my iPhone and iPad.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • HT1349 How to update iOS 5

    I don't know how to update iOS 5?

    Short (easiest) answer:
    (1) Plug into computer
    (2) Launch iTunes and select your iPod in the sidebar (in "DEVICES")
    (3) If iTunes reports an available iPod update, click the "Update" button
    (4) WAIT for the process to finish.  Do NOT interrupt.

  • HT4824 How to update ios 4.1 t0 4.3

    I am using i Phone 3GS with 4.1 i OS i want to updte it to 4.3 . how do update?

    I Don't think this is possible, as it would mean having to downgrade from IOS 5.1.1, on a 3GS you will see a slight performance decrease but I do not think that you can update to anything but the most recent software update.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How to update ios on first generation iPad

    how can I create a icloud to hold my backup info before attempting to update ios?

    iCloud backups are only available on a deivce when you have iOS 5+ installed on it, as it's on iOS 4 then you can only backup to a computer's iTunes, which you can do by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Back Up on your compter's iTunes.
    As well as forcing a backup, before starting the update you should copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (iTunes downloads aren't included in the actual backup, just the apps content/settings). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • How to update iOS 6 without a laptop or a computer ?

    Hello!
    I am Boussayna , I want to update my iPhone to the new version 6.0.1 and I didn't want to update it in my laptop how to update it directly in my iPhone ?
    Thanks very well!!

    If you iPhone is already on iOS 5+ (Settongs > General > About > Version) then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option on it which should allow you to update directly on the phone. If you are on iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes.
    To update via a computer connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
