    If you have iPhone 3G, the latest and greatest is IOS 4.2.1.
    If you have iPhone 3GS or later, you can only update to IOS 6.0.1.
    For iPhone 5 and iPad mini, you can update to IOS 6.0.2.

    hi frnds, i am using iphone 3gs, i want to know how can i update my iphone to ios 4.3.3 or any other ios.

    Please note the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • How do I update my iPhone to IOS 5.01 w/o losing my content

    When I hook my iPhone 4s up to iTunes on my laptop (PC), if I update my IOS to 5.01, it says I will lose the3 purchased items on my iPhone since I'm not synched with the iTunes on my laptop but, rather with iCloud. Should I go ahead with the IOS 5.01 update and then am I able to retrieve all my "stuff" from iCloud?

  • HT4623 How do I update my iphone 5 to the new ios7 software using itunes on my computer?

    How do I update my iphone 5 to the new ios7 software using itunes on my computer?

    Just for clarity, do you have iTunes 11.1 now on your computer?  If yes, when you connect your iPhone via your USB / Lightning cable is your iTunes opening with a small box near the top right of screen that shows your iPhone connected?  If yes then you can click through the various views of your iPhones content areas, such as Music, Photos, etc.  You will eventually get to a screen that is Status.  On that screen you should see the iOS Update option. 

  • How can I update my iPhone 3gs to iOS4, after iOS5 came out?

    I am still running iOS 3 (1.3) on my iPhone 3GS and I'm happy with it - but all the new apps requires iOS4 and now I'm sick of this. I want iOS4 (and not iOS5, cause it will drain my battery as far as I've understood).
    How can I update my iPhone 3GS in a normal way to iOS4, through iTunes or another easy way? I have never jailbreaked an iPhone so I don't know too much about "backdoors" into my iPhone.

    The only Firmware in the iOS 4 series that Apple is still signing for the iPhone 3GS is 4.1. So you could restore  to 4.1. You will have to download the 4.1 IPSW from Apple, and then install it with iTunes, Option Click Mac or Shift Click Windoz, on the Restore Button and then select the 4.1 IPSW on your computer. The current iTunes may give meaningless Errors, I doubt because you are Upgrading. But if Error Message is given you will have to search the Web for ways to Exit Recovery.

  • HT4623 How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    Hi Team,
    I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1.  While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected.  Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not. 
    and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

  • How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

    How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
    I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

    There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.
