HT4623 Can you update a 3GS without being connected to a carrier?
I have an Iphone 3GS that was purchased to operate an ARdrone and needs to be updated to IOS5 to operate, can it be updated without being connected to a carrier? it is unlocked and when I go to settings then general there is no update tab to sellect?
You can't update over the air unless you're already running iOS 5 or higher. You can update using iTunes. You WILL need a SIM, but it does not have to be tied to active service.

I can't access my playlist without being connected to my external hard drive
I can't access my playlist without being hooked up to the external hard drive. With the external hard drive connected I can sync it on my iPhone and iPad but won't do it for the computer
If you mean photo albums that were synced from your computer then no, then can only be deleted by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab and re-syncing.
If you mean music albums then yes, you can press and hold an album on the album selection screen in the Music app, and after a second or two you should get an 'x' on it - tap that and it should be deleted. -

HT4623 can i update my ipod without itunes via online?
if anyone can help
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. 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.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

Can you block a 3GS from being restored?
I am going to loan out my extra 3GS to a coworker but I want to ensure they cannot (whether intentionally or accidentally) RESTORE the phone through iTunes. Is there a way to block this? (was recently updated with latest operating system - don't recall the name)
I was referring to the passcode needed to unlock the phone, which any user would have to know to use the phone. When attempting to restore on a computer other that the one it's previously been synced to, the passcode has to be entered.
However, even if the user didn't know the passcode, he could restore by putting the phone in recovery mode, which isn't difficult. Effectively there is no way to absolutely block restoring other than to NOT lend the phone to anyone you don't completely trust. -

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Can You Update Modern Apps without using the Windows Store?
Our corporate image for Windows 8.1 has the Windows Store app disabled. We have started to see some users are getting prompted to update the built-in apps, like the weather app or the video app. When these users attempt to update, they are taken to the Windows
store where they receive a message that states the store has been disabled by the administrator.
We're using SCCM 2012 R2 CU3. Is it possible to patch these apps through SCCM software updates rather than through the store? Is it possible to leave the store open for updates, but not for new app downloads? What can we do?Hi,
The answer is no, When store app need to be updated, it would download a full new version package of the APP, install and replace the old ap. This process do need to login Windows Store to finish the job.

I can no longer buy, download, or update apps/iTunes without being asked for apple ID and billing information. Even if apps are free or updating I'm asked for billing information. It's been like this for a couple of weeks after the purchase of a movie off iTunes and the purchase was successful but afterwards my App Store and iTunes stopped working properly. Help me please, thanks.

If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router. -
