How to updated ios4.2.1 to iOS 4.3

How to updated iPad iOS 4.2 to 4.3 same wit iPhone 3

You can't update an iPad 1 to iOS 4.3, it can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1 (that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for it). If it's an iPad 2 then you can only update to iOS 6.0.1
To update, connect the iPad 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

An iPhone 3G only supports up to iOS 4.2.1, and iPhone 3GS will update to iOS 6.0.1

    Could someone please give me instructions on how to update my ipad 1 to iOS 5 or above?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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 an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How to update ios4.1 to ios4.3.3 but NOT ios5 for 3GS

    Hi,
    I how can I update my iphone os from 4.1 to 4.3.3 at iphone 3GS? when i press update from I-Tune, it always force me to update to latest ios 5.0.1
    The reason I do not want IOS5 because I did update to it before, and it cause my iphone keep restart every 5 minute.
    Thank you

    this is not fair. There are a lot of ppl outside having trouble after their 3GS updated to ios5. APPLE should let us choose which version to update to, or even downgrade. I believe there must be some work around to archive this.
    I tried to download iPhone2,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw, and when update in i-tune, i press SHIFT button (Win), it allow me to choose the ipsw file, but after that i-tune prevent me to continue. Anyone tried to update using method and success before?

  • HT3939 How can update my 3G to the IOS 4.3

    How can I up date my 3G to the IOS 4.3?

    You can't.  The 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.  (If you're trying to do this to run the FaceBook app, you'll have to use Safari to access facebook.com on the web.  You can put a shortcut to this page on your screen after opening the site by tapping the share [arrow] button at the bottom of Safari, then tap Add to Home Screen.)

  • How to update my Ipodtouch 4gen from Ios 4.2.1 to 6.1?

    Will updating my Ipod Touch 4th Generation from software 4.2.1 to 6.1 (the latest software) be a wise choice?
    As my Ipod currently has version 4.2.1, this update would be jumping many software updates such as ios 5.

    - The first step of an update is iTunes making a backup of the iPod. Note that the backup does not include synced media like apps and music. The backup does included photos/videos taken by and saved to the iPod. Those are the ones in the iPod's camera roll album
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    - For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
