HT1620 Should I download the iOS 6.1 or will my iPhone 4 crash?

Should I download iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4? Or will it crash and I loose data like when I down loaded iOS 6?

Update only if you are still in applecare. Immediately after updating my 4S is now a brick. 50 days out of applecare,.. and frankly apple doesn't care. Even apple support said my best bet was the "search the web to downgrade the OS"... little did I know that would require jailbreaking it. So surprised with how low Apple's quality has gone.

  • HT1222 Where do I find an actual download page, so I can physically download the ios 5.1.1 for my iPhone 3gs. It will not take the new ios 6

    When I pluged my iPhone into my lap top pc. My i tunes recognized that it needed updating, and when it started to up date, about half way through, an error poped up, causing my iPhone to stop functioning.
    The reason is, because it is notcompatible with the new ios 6, the phone can not be up dated any more. Now this is what I need. Because I can not find it, I need to find the actual ios 5.1.1 download, so I can get my iPhone 3gs to opperate again? Please help, I need to find the ios 5.1.1 EXE file, so I can download it back onto my phone, is this possible?

    It is not possible.  Further, the iPhone 3GS is capable of running iOS 6.

  • Just downloaded the iOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone 4S, and now my 3G isn't working?

    Hi all,
    I just connected my iPhone to iTunes on the computer, and it prompted me to update my iOS.  I did so, and it is now updated - however, I cannot connect to my 3G.
    (I can't connect to WiFi networks, either, but this has been a problem for a long time and I am not asking a question about this )
    Anyway - the "3G" icon is at the top of the screen, but whenever I try to connect to the internet/use whatsapp/agree to terms and conditions for iCloud, it says there is no working internet available.
    I have reset network settings, toggled airplane mode on/off, rebooted the phone, manually restarted the phone...all to no avail.
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I think I may have fixed this problem - I am on the giffgaff network, and updating my iOS meant that my network settings were reset to O2.
    To fix this, I went to Settings > Mobile > Mobile Data Network, and then re-entered giffgaff's mobile data settings.
    Hope this helps someone!

  • HT1222 I CAN'T install the iOS 7.0.2 in my iphone 4. There's an error occured in downloading iOS 7.0.2. What should I do?

    I can't install iOS 7.0.2 in my iphone 4. There's an error occured in downloading iOS 7.0.2. What should I do? but my software already iOS 7.tnx

    Are you using iTunes to do the update OTA on your iPhone? If its on iTunes and its giving you the error 
    I reccomend creating a iCloud backup and then downloading the iOS 7.0.2 .ipsw file and installing it manually from your PC. So follow these steps below to do this. (these instructions are for Windows i dont have a Mac so i don't know what you do haha but if you need it i could help and try.
    Connect your iPhone to your PC and open iTunes.
    If your iPhone uses AT&T or i think T-Moblie download the file here http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9871.20130924.7imYu/iPhone3,1_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw (its large! about 1.2 GB)
    If its a 8 GB AT&T iPhone use this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9821.20130924.jJ61o/iPhone3,2_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
    If its Sprint or Verizon use this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9794.20130924.umlNu/iPhone3,3_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
    Now once it's downloaded go to iTunes while your iPhone 4 is connected and hold SHIFT AND CLICK "Check for update" and then find where you downloaded the .ipsw file and select it.
    It should work if there is a problem please reply and tell me the issue. Oh and btw MAKE SURE YOY DO A BACKUP TO iCloud

  • Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

    My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car.  Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player.  I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have.  Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would love to see an update on issues like this.
    I have the pioneer avh-3400bh.  Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should.  Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information.  Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control.  the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything.  Same for the pandora app

  • I downloaded the iOs 6.1.3 and now my pictures and most apps I payed for are gone. Is there anyway to retrieve them?

    I went to download the Yahoo! app on my iPod and it said I had to download the iOs 6.1.3 to get the app. I did so and I also dowloaded the newest iTunes on my computer. I had all my pictures and apps backed up on iCloud. After the update I checked my pictures and they were all gone. I also looked at my apps and most of them are gone and for a couple of free apps that I made purchases within, the information was erased. For example, I had the free version of the Harry Potter Spells app. Inside the app I bought the spell packages and when I got the game back on my iPod after the update, the information was erased. That's not fair especially because I paid for those and iFeel as though Apple has ripped me off. (Please pardon my pun.) But what I really want to know is if there is someway to retrieve them?

    Restore from iCloud Backup step by step
    1. Erase all contents and settings (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
    2. You'll be asked twice to confirm
    3. You'll see Apple logo and progress bar
    4. You'll see a big iPad logo on screen
    5. Configuration start
    6. Set language
    7. Set country
    8. Enable Location Service
    9. Select network, enter password and join network
    10. You'll be given 3 options (a) Setup as New iPad (b) Restore from iCloud Backup (c) Restore from iTune Backup
    11. Selected Restore from iCloud Backup
    12. You'll be required to enter Apple ID and Password
    13. Agree to Terms and Conditions
    14. Select Backup file
    15. You'll see progress bar
    16. Red slider will appear; slide to unlock; step #1 to #16 is fast
    17. Pre-installed apps will be restored first
    18. Message: Purchased apps and media will now be automatically downloaded
    19. You'll see a pageful of apps with Waiting/Loading/Installing
    20. When the restore process is complete, your device will restart. You should connect the device to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on).

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • HT4623 I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

    I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

    Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything?  I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
    If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

  • I have dead blue screen after downloading the ios 7.1.1

    I have dead blue screen after downloading the ios 7.1.1.
    What should I do to fix it?

    Hello hagarar,
    If your iPhone started displaying a blue screen after running a software update, I suggest the steps in the following article.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out,
    -Joe

  • I cannot download the IOS 5 with Itunes to update my iphone 4. I dont want to restore the iphone because I am afraid that the itunes cannot download the ios 5 and then I will be with no iphone.

    I cannot download the IOS 5 with Itunes. Always appear this message ( err= -3259) what can I do to solve this problem?

    It's a connection timeout error. Google for a copy of iOS 5.0.1 and download it to your computer. Prepare to restore your iPhone but hold down Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) when clicking Restore to bring up an explorer where you can manually install iOS 5.0.1 on your device, since you do not require a full download from the Apple Servers other than to verify your iOS build being installed.

  • I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.
