How to update iPhone 4s when WiFi is not operable

If you don't have WiFi, you'll have to update using iTunes on your computer. Make sure iTunes is updated to 11.1 first.

  • How to Update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 (Not iOS 8)

    I have an older iPhone 4 that needs an update.
    it's running iOS 5.1 and i'd like to update it to iOS 6.3 (NOT iOS 8)
    I downloaded the iOS 6.3 .ipsw
    I held the Option button down and pressed Update in iTunes looked for the file and tring installing that, but after a minute i get an error message. Not eligible.
    I'd expect iOS to not be Eligible cause the hardware can't keep up. but iOS 6? wasn't that the best build for the 4?
    does this mean the only way to update my phone now is to Jail break it?
    BTW, i don't use this as a phone anymore, I use it as an iPod.
    Any help is appreciated.

    being that it's an iPhone 4 I don't think Apple can (or would) help me with anything at this point anyway. they don't have a 4 year warranty. And i wouldn't expect Apple to help at this point anyway.
    I would however expect Apple to let it's customers do what they want with their products outside of the warranty rather than lock them down.
    Regardless. It looks like I'll be going to 7.1.2. anyway
    I want to use this as an iPod, (90% for Music) so SPEED is not as much of an issue anymore.
    Spotify requires iOS 7 so i guess I'll give in.
    hope this doesn't bust the phone like it's done to so many others out there.
    For reference, here is a short list SPEED difference from iOS 6.1 to 7.1

  • How to update iPhone 4S to iOS 7 not 8.

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS6.1.3. I can no longer update or install apps without updating to iOS7.0. How do I do that? My phone is only giving me the option of updating to 8.1.2. I only have 3.1GB of storage

    I have iOS 7 on my 4S and it's worked for over a year without issues. The upgrade to iOS 8 may slow your phone down but you shouldn't have issues otherwise.

  • How to  update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 NOT iOS 7??

    I have the iPhone 4 running on the iOS 4 system (ancient, I know) but it runs perfectly and I've never felt the need to change it. Now, with BBM on iOS, I need iOS 6 at least to run the app....
    I really don't want to update to iOS 7 due to the terrible sluggishness that will come as a result. Is there any way I can update to iOS 6 instead of 7... ?? I'm desperate!

    iOS 7 is the only version to which you can now upgrade. iOS 6 and earlier are only available for devices that cannot run iOS 7.

    Can I Connect to 4G And LTE with my WIFI IPAD AIR when WIFI is NOT Available? If so, HOW?

    If you wish to do this you can use the WiFi hotspot from an iPhone or other phone with this capability.
    You can also get a dedicated WiFi hotspot device like MiFi. See here: http://www.novatelwireless.com/products/mobile-broadband-solutions/mifi-intellig ent-mobile-hotspots/

  • How to updating plugin.xml when it changed in 12C?

    After Importing the Plug-in Archive and Deploying it on Management Service with 12C, I need to make a change with plugin.xml in Plug-in Archive. Here it's the change,
    --- Old one:
    <PluginAttributes Type="MP" ReleaseStatus="Test"/>
    --- Change to:
    <PluginAttributes Type="MP" DisplayName="MySQL Database" Category="Databases"/>
    So I un-deployed Plug-in from Management Serbice, and used command "emcli import_update" to update the brand new OPAR file successfully, and the deployed again. But it seems the new plugin.xml didn't work at all, neither from UI nor the plugin.xml located under Management Server folder. I am sure it should work cause after I changed the Target Type and etc. in all related files to made a new plug-in, it works well.
    So how to updating plugin.xml when it changed in 12C? (It seems there is no option with MRS.)
    Thanks in advance!
    Best wishes,
    Satine

    Hey Caroy,
    Thank you for your help.
    It seems there is no entrance within page "Setup->Extensibility->Self Update" to delete a plugin. Would you please tell me more specific position?
    I will upgrade the version of plugin and try again to see if it works.
    Thanks,
    Satine
