how do i update my iphone 3 with out itunes its giving me problems with updating it and i need the update in order to downlaod anything on it

An iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1, & this requires iTunes. Thus, to update your phone, you must do so through iTunes on your computer.

  • HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?

    i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.

    A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
    What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
    If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer.

  • How can I update the iPhone Without it timeing out?

    When I use iTunes to update my iPhone 4.3.2 it goes through the download process (usually 20 minutes or more), then tells me there was a timeout problem. What timedout? How can I fix it? Using a Sony VAIO w/6 GB memory, Windows 7 Ultimate, IE9, approx 5 Mbps connection via Clear.

    I have a home setup with a wireless connection to a Belkin router. Only my computer has access to this router. I have download files of 6-10 GBytes. I downloaded Win 7Ultimate and IE9. Some of these downloads ran 45 minutes or more, but there was no timeout problem.
    What can I do next? Why does Apple have update files that have such timeout issues. I couldn't download updates on 1 January and around 1 April that I had to go to Best Buy so they could download the updates for me.
    This is an update for a telephone. Why are there such technological issues?

  • How can I update my iphone without a computer or itunes?

    I was at the luandromat using my laptop to sync my Iphone 3gs and there was a large power surge. It fried my laptop and my Iphone 3gs. Now I'm using my old Iphone 3g whcih is running software 3.1.3 and I want to know how or if I can update the software with out having access to itunes or even a functioning computer.

    "Really? "
    Yes.  It has always been this way.  Itunes and a computer were listed as REQUIREMENTS on both the box the iphone came in and the website.
    "If that's the case then I think I may just switch to the Droid network."
    Enjoy your Droid.

  • HT1222 how do i update my iphone without enough available space

    I have a apple Iphone 3g that is telling me that I have software updates that require 2.1 gigabytes, I only have 745MB available and that is after deleting a number of APPS that I had previously installed. What should I do to be able to dowload suggested software.

    It appears that you are either going to have to continue delete things are not upgrade.
    Have you tried deleting your music?
    Music seems to be a heavy user of space.

  • IPhone software update errored. How can I fix my iPhone without having to do a restore?

    I plugged in my iPhone 4 to do a sync this afternoon.  I got the message that there was a software update.  Sadly, I've updated to the crappy iOS7, so I chose to install the update (which I think is 7.0.2.)  The update was downloaded, and was loading to my iPhone.  I suddenly received an error that my iPhone couldn't update.  I think it had an error code of 411. My iTunes refreshed, and is now not showing that it recognized my phone.  Now the only thing I can get to show up on my screen is a graphic of the iTunes icon, and an arrow directing me to plug in my phone.  When I do this, a message appears that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes.  I don't want to perform a restore.  I will lose all my data.  So, why did this error?  How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?

    I think it had an error code of 411....So, why did this error?
    There is no such error code.  No one can tell you why without the correct code.
    Was this phone EVER jailbroken?

    There is no way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
    You mean you actually didn't back up before updating, really?

  • HT4623 After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?

    After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?

    Go into your iTunes preferences and select devices (on a Mac it's iTunes > Preferences > Devices; on PC it's Edit > Preferences > Devices). This will show you any and all iTunes backups you have, including your phone. If you don't see any backups, then you don't have one in iTunes.
    With iCloud, if you've got a backup you can view it using an iOS device that's logged in with your iCloud (apple ID) account. You go into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and see if your phone is listed there. If it is, then you have a backup for it. You can click on it to see how large the backup is and what is backed up.
    Don't be afraid to restore it. The worst that can happen is that you lose data. If you have a backup, then you can get that data back. If not, then you will have to start over, but your phone will still work.

  • How can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

    how can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

    You can wipe the device without updating:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    I would be remiss not to mention that iOS 7.0.6 patches a security flaw.
    If you choose not to update, your device will be at risk.

  • HT2305 How do I update to iOS5 without losing all of my apps?

    How do I update my iPhone to iOS 5 without losing all of my apps?

    Yes, provided the old apps are compatible with the new OS.  BTW, double-check before in the Apps section of the iTunes library to be sure all your apps are listed there just in case. I usually sync twice just to be certain there is a backup.
    I also maintain backups of the computer just in case. You should have a current backup.

    There's no way to update to iOS 5 without a computer.  Take it to an Apple store.
