HT4623 I have an Iphone 3 that does not have the software updates how can I update it?

I have an IPhone 3 that does not have the software updates in my settings how can I update it cause I can not download any apps or games?

The 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1, but if the phone isn't there yet, see below.
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.

When i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

when i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

no, and i have spent my entire spring break with a dead iphone 4s, no access to my iphone mail accounts, can't get into my text service app, and can't get into notes. oh yeah, all of my music is gone. thanks a bunch for this wonderful upgrade.
i am never upgrading again until i am sure all the bugs are out. this is a waste of my time and what's the use of having a cellphone if it only stays charged for two hours?
one of the apple forums said that iox is "expanvie" and gave us tips on how to lengthen battery life. i was already doing all that stuff. so it seemed to me that apple was just taking the stand that ios is just more "expansive." this is lipservice hogwash. if that is the case, then we need to get new phones with batteries strong enough to accommodate running these power apps and updates.
my iphone makes a **** good coaster though. right now i am just ready to start sending smoke signals!

Does anyone have an iPhone that does not work outside one country, a valid roaming sim will not work in a second country, neither will a new sim from that country

I first thought this was a network lock snag,
Could only resolve when travelling,
Now I have been told apple don't know why their phone doesn't work

When go with a service that service provider locks the phone until the contract agreement is fullfilled. Even if you don't have a contract you still need to contact the first service provider and request to have the phone unlocked.

I have an iPhone 4S and I'm trying to paire it with my iPad Mini but my iPhone 4S does not support the iPad mini, what can I do to connect them?

I need help to connect my iPhone 4S with my IPad Mini. I try to pair it with Bluetooth but my iPhone says its not supported. What can I do?

Take it, the original purchase receipt, and the friend's death certificate to a physical Apple Store and see what they say.

After I have finished at a site and want to go back to the start page the "go back arrow" does not show the start page how can I fix this

I am using Fire fox 3.6.15 which was updated on the March 6th.
The Start Page will open and allow me to go to any site but when I want to return to the Start Page via the 'go back arrow' the Start Page is not listed.
I am wondering if it is part of the new upgrade.

It's actually not hard to fix. I had the same problem on my Bold 9700. You need to go to the main desktop on your Blackberry, and find the Messages icon (it looks like an envelope - same-looking icon as your email icon). Click on it, then scroll thru the messages. You'll find a message with same annoying little yellow circle icon, and the URL of the web site you tried to access when your Blackberry powered down. Click on the URL, and let your Blackberry load that web site. Voila! After that, the Browser Notification Icon will have disappeared.
I wish that future versions of the Blackberry OS will alow you to click directly on the notification icon and get taken to the relevant app (as happens in Windows). As is stands, the notification icons are more annoying than useful.

Internal error 500 keeps coming up when I open Firefox. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but that did not solve the problem. How can I fix this error

a message of 500 internal error comes up when I open up Firefox and I cannot do anything. How can this problem be solved? I cannot use Firefox, so I have uninstalled it because it does in work on my computer, but it does work on my desktop and other laptop. This is a new computer, so I am not understanding why this problem is occurring. When I first installed Firefox on my new laptop it worked just fine, but for about a week now it will not work.

Which security software (firewall) do you have?
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Due to my account being hacked, I changed my Apple ID, I did not create a new account. Now my software updates want the old ID but will not accept the password. How can I update built in software.

My orginal Apple ID was hacked, so I changed my Apple ID. I did not create a new ID. I have changed my ID on my profile on my MacBook Pro. However now I have an update for factory installed software iPhoto and iMovie that is asking for the old ID. How can I get the updates or force them to use the new ID that I am using for every other Apple product I own.

You'll have to talk to Apple about AppleID and account issues, we are just other users here.

Is it possible to purchase an ipod 4 that does not have a camera installed?

Is it possible to purchase an iphone that does not have a camera installed? Not allowed to have a camera at work.

Alternatively you can disable the camera app through the restrictions. This will remove the camera app and facetime app from the home screen, and will also prevent the camera from being used in third party apps.

I need to get some video files onto my iphone from a computer that does not have my itunes library on it

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do.

Apple told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the possibility to store sent e-mails. I can not believe that, but my iPhone has a box for sent mails that is always empty. How can my iPhone store sent e-mails?

The Apple helpdesk told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the function to keep sent mails stored. I cannot believe that. My iPhone 4 has a Sent box, I have checked the Sent box in Configuratieo--> E-mail, ...Calender..,but the Sent box is always empty after I have sent an E-mail. I know that the E-mails arrive at their destinations. How can I activate the Sent box?

lol the person you talked to at Apple was not very bright.
Of course you can have sent items in your mail on the iPhone 4. I have mine there all the time.
Sounds like you might have issues with the software.
I recommend trying a reset, send email and see if that goes to the sent items directory
If not do a restore.

HT4623 My iPhone 3G does not have update function in it What do I Do?

My iPhone 3G does not have an update function in it. I want to update my software, What do I do?

An iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1...that's the end of the line for that model, and an iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 using iTunes. Software update, directly on the phone, is not available for the iPhone 3G.

HT4623 my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings General Software Update

my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE

No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone.
