I Have iphone 2g, how to upgrade my phone

There is no such thing as an iPhone 2G.  There was the original iPhone, then the 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s and now the 5.
If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then the highest version of iOS it can run is 3.1.3.  If you have an iPhone 3G, the highest iOS it can run is 4.2.1.
Neither of those first and second iPhone models can be upgraded beyond those versions of iOS.
You would have to buy a new phone if you want to run any iOS version higher than those.  The iPhone 3Gs can run the most current, iOS 6.1.3 but it will not be able to run iOS 7 when that is released this autumn.

    I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
    What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier.  ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
    If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

  • My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one account for purchases and keep the email separate when using iCloud?

    My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one iTunes account to share music, photos and apps, and keep our email accounts separate since all data will use the iCloud function.

    You shouldn't be using the same account on phone iphones. Have him setup his own and make sure his iCloud is logged in with that one

    Sorry... But...  The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
    There is No Workaroud for Activation Lock.

    i have iphone 4 how do open line this?my place is philippines

    If you are asking how do you get your iPhone to work with
    a local wireless carrier in the Phillipines, you will have to contact
    the wireless carrier the iPhone is currently locked to and ask if
    they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    If that is not what you are asking, please give more details so
    someone can offer a solution.

  • I have iphone 32gb how much icloud  storage y need

    I have iphone 32gb how much icloud storage i need?

    Music on your phone is either purchased from iTunes or synced from a computer. If from iTunes, it doesn't use your iCloud allocation and can be redownloaded from the store if necessary, if from your computer then it is already elsewhere.
    I'm not suggesting your use will be identical to mine but I have the 32 GB phone I use less than 1 GB for syncing documents and data, however I back up to iTunes rather than iCloud, but if I did back up to iCloud, I'd need about 4 GB.

    For starters, you should not be using the same Apple ID. Are you?

    Make sure you have the right system requirements before you start to update the iOS, you will need:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • My wife and I both have iPhones recently when someone calls her phone mine also rings.  How do I stop this?

    Both my wife and I have IPhones (5C and 4S).  For some reason for the last several months when someone calls one of our phones it rings on both phones.  It seems to have started with the OS updates but that may be a coincidence.  Is there a way to stop this? 

    DrYes wrote:
    So if I turn off IPhone Cellular calls this will eliminate the problem?  As I read it the double ringing only occurs when we are signed in and the phones are close and connected to WIFi.
    Correct, I wouldn't lead you astray with a false response.  It happens because you and your wife are using the same Apple id for facetime - which you shouldn't do, either you or her will need a separate id for facetime.
    This subject has been brought up already, you can use the search function and look for the threads with the green checkmarks.

  • HT1349 just got a new iphone. How do you transfer phone numbers from an old iphone to a new one

    How do you transfer phone numbers from a 3gs to a 4s?

    PLug your 3gs into iTunes, in the left panel right click on your iPhone and create a backup. After the back up is complete plug your 4s into iTunes, right click on it in the left panel and select restore from backup, select the backup file from your 3gs and that should load everything from your 3gs to your new iphone
