  • HT4623 can I update to ios 6 on iphone 3g

    Can I update to ios 6 on iphone 3g?

    Sorry but no. iOS 4.2.1 was the last version of iOS an iPhone 3G would run. If you have iOS 4.3.3 on your phone, then unless your iPhone was hacked, you actually have an iPhone 3GS which can upgrade to iOS 6. You can confirm your model here:

    Plug your phone to your PC - open itunes - itunes should automatically see that your phone needs an upgrade.
    Make sure you backup prior to updating.

    The iPhone 3G is only compatible with iOS 4.2.1 or early. Connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes will ask you to update iOS to the latest version

  • HT4623 I can't update my iOS on my iPhone 4!

    everytime I try to update, it never initializes because it always ends up with an error.
    And everytime I try to update it with iTunes on my PC, it hangs and I have to start all over again.
    BUT I NEVER GET A CHANCE TO UPDATE IT BECAUSE OF AN ERROR.

    I have heard about this issue many times from those around me etc. the issue is not of your wi-fi connection or anything like that. think of how many people have iPhones who want to update. the servers are literally crammed! i would just wait a day or so, and the update should go smoothly. best of luck !

    I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
    icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • I never updated my iphone to IOS 6.1.4 and now I can't update to IOS 7, how can I get IOS 7?

    I never got round to updating my iPhone 5 to IOS 6.1.4 (I think that's it!) and now I can't update to IOS 7!
    How do I get around this?
    Thank you!

    Why can't you update?
    There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
    What happens when you try to update?
    Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?

  • I can't backup my iPad to my computer so I can't update to iOS 5

    I have an iPad and I still can't update to iOS 5 since it came out. The original computer that my iPad would sync to is gone and I authorized my new computer but i never checked the music box and video box and app box so it doesn't sync but to back my stuff up to update, I need to sync but when I check the box to sync my music or videos exc.. it says all my music will be deleted and replaced with the music from my library but...there is no music or apps or videos or podcast in my library. and I do not want to lose my music and apps there are a ton of them. Any recommendations into fixing this problem?

    Transfer Purchase from the iPad to the computer.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Transfer Purchase. That will put all of the iPad purchased content into the iTunes library.

  • I updated my IOS on my iPhone 4S and it locked up.  I had to restore my phone and now iTunes will not go past the setup your phone screen even though the phone as been restored.  How do I get iTunes to go past this screen so I can sync my phone again?

    Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the  go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

  • Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there.  Is that possible?

    Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)
