HT201269 How I can upgrade an iPhone 3 from my computer?

I would like to know how I can upgrade my iPhone3 from my computer? When I go to Settings, it doesn't appears "Software update", so I can do?  Since I have it I can't download some applications I will like to have in my cellphone.  Can you help me with this?

Again:
" it can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1."

    Jus tconnect your iPhone to your computer and update it in iTunes.
    Update your device using iTunes
    Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.
    If an update is available, iTunes prompts you to download and install the update. Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.

  • Halo, how i do upgrade my iphone 3gs from IOS 4.1 to 4.3? please help

    Halo, how do i upgrade the IOS on my iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 4.3? please help.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

  • How do I unsync my iphone 5c from a computer I no longer have access to?

    Recently, I had to replace my laptop as the original (sony vaio, windows 7) I had finally bit the bullet and the hard drive died.  I was able to recover all my files on an external drive, but had to get a new laptop.  I'm now using an HP (windows 8) and I have an iphone 5c.  Since I can't really access the old iTunes I had on my last laptop, I don't know how to unsync my phone from it.  Does anyone know how I can do this?

  • Does anyone know how I can sync my iphone with a new computer?

    I have a new computer (PC), itunes is downloaded. I have spent most of the day using both an external hard drive and my iphone to transfer the apps, music, videos etc onto my new computer, which worked without an issue.
    I have deauthorised the old computer and authorised the new one with my apple ID.
    However, when I try to sync my phone to the new computer it wont update anything on my iphone (i.e. photos that are on the computer wont transfer over etc, even though I have selected that file to sync). It is starting the sync but then comes up on the progress bar saying "cancelling sync".
    Any ideas, I'm slowly going mad!

    This will define syncing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296. The advantage is it allows you to backup the phone, you can sync music onto the phone, as well as contacts and calendars.

  • How do i upgrade my iphone 3gs from 3.1.3 to latest firmmware?

    Here is what i've done so far.
    Downloaded the latest Itunes
    restarted computer
    Backed up my iphone
    downloaded the latest firmware(4.3.5) from ios 3.1.3
    pressed update
    it gets as far as the beginning of the installation and displays an error:
    "The Iphone could not be updated. An unkown error occured (3194)
    Thanks in advance

    You need to reset your iPhone in DFU mode, check this out: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    Then you should be able to upgrade.

  • HT4623 How do you switch an iPhone 4S from old computer to new computer?

    I switched from a laptop to a new desktop, and no matter how many times I plug 4S in it will now sync with new computer. Do I need to change name of computewr in 4S? And how do you do that?

    You first need to copy the iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer. Or a backup of the iTunes library from the old computer that you made. The reason is that an iPhone can only sync to one computer. If you change computers the new computer will erase the iPhone contents when you sync and replace the contents with whatever is on the new computer. If nothing is on the new computer then nothing will end up on the iPhone after sync.
    When you say it will not sync, please be more specific. Does it not appear in iTunes? If it appears, does it ignore the Sync button, or does it display an error? What is the error?

  • Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
    Thanks

  • HT201272 how can I transfer an app from my computer to iphone. The download button on the app is "gray" - won't download again.

    How can I transfer an app from my computer to my iphone? I think I downloaded incorrectly and now the app won't let me download again. I find the app on my computer but I don't know how to transfer it - or if I even can.

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

  • HT1766 Hi! I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1. When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted. What can I do then to restore my iPhone?

    Backups are only used for restoring iPhones via iTunes.
    If you desire to go about another method for extracting data from a backup, use google to find out how (if possible) to make that happen.
