HT4623 can i update iphone 3g to ios6

can i update iphone 3g to ios6

Stop yelling.
It is not physically possible to update an iPhone 3G to iOS 6. The highest version of iOS it will run is 4.2.1.
If, on the other hand, it is actually a 3GS, it can run iOS 6.1.6
Have you considered doing what it's telling you to do and connecting it to your computer running iTunes?

  • HT4623 Can't update iPhone and get restore error -1. Help?

    I tried to do the latest update on a 3GS iPhone I gave my daughter (minus the phone usage) and it started the restore then got stuck with error message -1.  I tried everything it said to do under the error to correct it and it still won't restore.  This happened with the last update that I tried to do on another iPhone we gave our daughter to use and I just ended up upgrading my phone to replace the iPhone that couldn't be restored to anything.  I can't do that again and shouldn't have too.   Any ideas on how to fix this?  Thank you for any suggestions!

    Well, millions of people are trying to do the exact same thing. Yes, the servers are busy, busy, busy. Please be patient.

  • How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

    how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

    You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to.  With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password.  That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

    If your phone is an iPhone 3G, you can't update higher than 4.2.1
    Only the 3GS can do.

    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.

  • 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:

  • 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.
