HT204291 cannot see software update on my iphone 3gs

i cannot see ''software update'' on my iphone 3gs

Over the air software update did not become available until iOS 5.x. If you are running iOS 3.0 as your equipment profile says you will have to connect to your computer to update it. Keep in mind that if your 3Gs is not officially unlocked from its original carrier, or not factory unlocked, it will relock to the carrier when you update it.

  • HT201210 why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s

    why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s??

    You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • HT4972 Why cant I see software updates in my setting?

    why cant I see software updates in my settings?

    Because your iPhone 3G cannot run any version of iOS higher than 4.2.1, which came out before the "Software Updates" was added (in iOS 5).

  • After I did a software update on my iPhone 5,once i emanble LTE,it loses Service/Network.What might be wrong?

    Hi,I ran a Software Update on my iPhone 5,but now if I "Enable LTE" it will display No Service and no network at all.What might be wrong here?

    It's completely situational. Without being able to directly compare the "scratch" on the original poster's iPhone with your iPhone, what gaamcc had happen could not be extrapolated to guess what Apple may do in your situation. It will depend entirely on what the Apple technician diagnoses after examining your iPhone. He/she may decide that any damage is strictly cosmetic and didn't have any connection with the problem you're taking your iPhone in for, or he/she may diagnose the problem as stemming from user damage. You'll just have to see when you go to the Apple Store.
    Regards.

  • HT4623 I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete the udate because it said an error occurred. Then it said I needed to restore my phone and when I try to it wont let me restore my back up because it says there's not enough storag

    I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete because it said there was an error. It then gave me a message that I needed to restore my phone. When I tried to restore my backup it says it cannot be completed because there is not enough storage. I cant delete anything to make more storage because my phone is not usable because it wont restore. What do I do?

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • HT1620 I have a software update in my iPhone r for iOS 7.1.1 but it asks me for a 4 digit pass code I don't have one does anyone knows what that is?

    I have a software update on my iPhone but it asks me for a 4 number pass code does anyone know what this code is as never been asked before and don't have one

    Hopefully, you use a passcode to unlock your lock screen. It is that passcode that is required to update IOS. See Settings > Passcode.

  • Can't see software updates; can't print; browser images garbbled

    Recently my boss' G4 Powerbook 17" running OS X 10.4.11 started displaying garbled images in Safari and Firefox. We reinstalled the OS, ran disk utility and now he has problems printing multiple page docs over the network or take credit card payments over the internet as well as still having the images show up distorted in the before mentioned browsers. Funny thing is he can work fine from home using his wireless internet. Thinking it was the ethernet card we took the puter to the local apple store where they connect it to their network via an ethernet cable. Wouldn't you know it, it worked perfectly on the automatic setting. We brought it back to the office, sprayed it out with canned air and we are back to square one. We have 3 tried different ethernet cables, different router ports, different IP addresses and still no improvement. It seems like there is some kind of blockage not allowing all the information in or our of the computer. Worst problem is that we cannot see the updates on the popup window after hitting software update.
    Any ideas?

    Well, that wasn't the problem. It has started up again. The computer was working fine this morning then it seemed as employees were coming in and turning on computers it went back to normal. Could it be a networking issue?

  • HT4623 I am trying to update my 3GS but cannot find "software update" in general settings. Am I missing something?

    I am new to the iphone world and have an older model (iphone 3GS).  I need to download ios5 and have checked out how to's but they all tell me to go to settings-general-software update.  I cannot find "software update" anywhere. Please help!!!!

    Yes. You missed the part of that article which explains how to update it from iTunes on a computer; since it's running an iOS version prior to 5, it must be done from there.

  • I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
    My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

  • My MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.3 cannot perform software update

    My MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.3 cannot perform software update. Installation freezes at "configuring installation" stage. I have tried installing OS X 10.5.4, 10.5.6, and 10.5.8 combos. Disk utility says my HD is OK. ???????

    Greetings,
    If you haven't done so already, backup all your important data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Unplug any peripherals (printers, hard drives, cameras etc.) from the computer leaving only the power cord.
    Try repairing disk permissions if you haven't already: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
    Put your computer into Safe Boot: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 -- STOP -- Check your available hard drive space while in  Safe Boot.  If you do not have at least 10 GB free (and really more is better) then you need to free up some space (copy movies off to an external drive, delete the 30 GB of music you never listen to, etc.)  If you have 10 or more GB available on disk proceed.
    Install the Mac OS X 10.5.8 combo update while still in Safe Boot.
    If you still can't install try reseting the PRAM (very occasionally disk cacheing issues can prevent large installations for succeeding): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    If the issue persists at this point and you have plenty of free hard drive space then your next step would be an Archive and Install: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 -- You want a backup for safekeeping before you do this (see step 1)
    Hope that helps.
