HT4623 Can I update a iphone 3 to V.4.01?

I am trying to update my granddaughter's Iphone 3 and can not because it needs 4.1 update for her to have games. That's all she wants it for. Please help. I need to look like the hero in this case.

Be sure the phone is protected very well - case, screen protector, etc.
Although given how old it is, you've probably been doing that.
I would like to down load some simple games, tho!

    As long as it was factory unlocked and not unlocked illegally then yes you can update with no problems.

  • HT4623 Can i update my iphone 4s was already unlocked and now i am in egypt ?

    Can i update my iphone 4s to 5.1.1 was already unlocked by verizon and now i am in egypt

    Verizon would not have unlocked the GSM capabilties of an iPhone if the phone wasn't already active on their network and the customer in good standing with them. So assuming that the iPhone was indeed officially unlocked by Verizon, it should work with any carrier who provides compatible GSM cell technology and appropriate service plans.
    And in response to the original question, if the iPhone is officially unlocked, updating iOS should not be a problem, though pvonk's advice is worth considering.

    Yes.
    As long as your iPhone 5 was not running iOS 6.1.4, you can restore your iPhone 5 backup to your iPhone 4. Make sure your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6.1.3...update it first if not. If your iPhone 5 was running iOS 6.1.4, then you won't be able to restore that backup to your iPhone 4.

  • HT4623 Can I update 3 iPhones with the latest software update that are all on thr same iTunes account?

    I kept all my iPhones after I upgrading to the latest one each time my 2 year contract was up so I have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. I actually still use all 3 phones for different purposes. My iphone 3gs is not activated, but I still use it for apps among other things when connected to wifi. My iphone 4 & 4s are both activated with 2 saparete phone numbers, but I have all 3 devices on the same iTunes account. I never noticed this to be a problem until just recently when I was thinking about selling one of my iphones since I'm now due to upgrade again to the iPhone 5.  Well my problem is that when the latest iphone software update came available I noticed that all 3 iPhones had a notification letting me know that there was a new update available & I didn't want to update my iphone 4 & 4S until I had a recent back-up on my pc just incase anything went wrong like once before. Referring to the last time I updated my iphone 4s for some reason right in the middle of the update it lost connection. So I had to restore my entire phone from scratch & because I didn't check to make sure that had a recent back up right before I updated I ended up losing a lot of important information. So anyway since my iphone 3GS I knew had a recent back up & plus it doesn't have a lot of important information stored on it I chose to go ahead & update it first. Then later on when I went to update my other two iPhones I noticed the notification that was there before on all my phones to let me know the update was available was now gone & it would not give me the option to update either of my other two phones. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was later told that Apple will only let you download the free update software on only one device on each iTunes account & since I have all 3 devices on one itunes account I could only choose to update one. I didn't know this beforehand so I used the update on my 3GS which I barely use except to play with on wifi & now my other two iPhones which are the main ones I use are both activated now function very slow & constantly crash. Also if I was to choose to sale one of the iPhones without the latest software update on it does that mean that the new owner will not be able to get the latest update meaning the phone would be out of date without having that latest software installed? If anyone knows how to help me fix this or give some advice I would really appreciate!!

    That's utter non-sense.
    Just connect your 4 & 4S, iTunes running, & hit the "Check for Updates" button, or you can update directly on the phones(if running iOS 5.0 or higher): Settings>General>Software Update.
    iOS 6.1.3 is the current iOS version for both phones.

  • HT4623 Can i update my iphone 3

    I need to update my iphone 3 so that it has ios 4.3 or later. However, I cannot find this on itunes and message boards are noting that this is unavailable. Is that really true?

    I have reasonable expectations and yes, what you refer to as obsolescence is fine by me. It was actually supported longer than most smartphones out there. Ranting is also against the terms of use.

  • HT4623 can i update my iphone 4s to ios6.1 without transferred purchased items to itunes library as its aking to do but i cant?

    is there any risk of updating my iphone4s to ios6.1 without transferred purchased items to itunes library?

    If something goes wrong with the process, you will need to re-download all music and any movies or tv shows purchased from the iTunes store and the same for all apps - one by one.

    Hi Team,

  • HT4623 how come i can not update my iphone 4 to ios 6

    how come i can not update my iphone 4 to ios 6

    I may be completely wrong, but I think you may need iTunes 10 to update to 6.0 or 6.0.1. I'm also not completely sure what firmware the built-in update feature was implemented, so if all else fails, check the General tab in Settings to see if you can update from the iPhone itself.

    help can't update my iphone 4s sprint to ios 6 because it exit automatically on about 75% of the installotion over the air and itunes ...

    So what happened to the phone during the process?  It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed.  Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it.  The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.
