I am having a problem downloading, I receive a message saying I need to upgrade to ios 4 or later, however when I tap the update it says all apps are up to date. there is no software update tab in general settings.......please help.

you need to connect it to a computer and update via iTunes.  http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mac/how-to-upgrade-to-ios-4/573. Also, iOS 4.2.1 is the max for an iPhone 3.

  • HT4623 i have an iphone 4 but when i go to general n settings  there is no option as software update . pls help

    i have an iphone 4 ios 3.1.3 which is outdated . i went to settings , general but there was no software update feature . its on all other phones same models which myfriends have . can anyone 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.

  • HT4623 My Ipad say that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date.  How do I update to iOS 7

    How do I update my software to iOS 7 when my Ipad says that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date?

    If you have the original iPad 1, then iOS 5.1.1, is as high as you can go and that is the most up to date software that you can run.

  • TS4006 It will not update. Just sits in my App Store and freezes . I have a iPhone 4S with the latest software.

    It will not update. Just sits in my App Store and freezes . I have a iPhone 4S with the latest software.

    If it's freezing when you try to update apps, try force-closing the App Store app.  From your home screen, double-tap the home button, locate App Store in the list on the bottom, tap an hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again.  Try updating again...any difference?

  • HT4623 Do not have the software update area in my settings! How do I update iPod without that? Btw I have a 3G iPod! Does this make a difference? How do io do the update?

    Do not have software updates section in settings! How do I update my iPod without that?

    A 3G can go to iOS 5.1.1 and requires iTunes version 10.5 or later. If you have a Mac that requires OSX 110,5,8 or later
    Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1

  • I have an iphone 4s, and i can not connect to any wirless router through wifi??

    i have an iphone 4s and i can not connect to any wirless router using wifi, the only way it to put it in the freezer for a few minutes and the i only get like 5 minutes of wifi time and the the connection drops again and the phone can not even recognize the network??
    any help??!!

    Seriously...and where did you get this tech tip? You do realize that all iPhone 4S's are still under warranty, although there's a very good chance your freezer trick has tripped a moisture sensor, thus voiding your warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store, but be prepared for bad news. Good luck.

    Hi, I have a iPhone 4S and I reset the phone to factory settings bcos the iTunes and AppStore didn't work. Now I can't get my phone to turn on

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • HT4623 I don't have "software update" under my general settings. How do I update my iPhone4 iOS?

    Hi. I have an iphone4 and can't update my iOS. I don't have "software update" as a option under general settings. How do I update my phone?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPhone to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • HT4623 I have an ipad2 16GB but i don't have the software update option in it so how do I update it to iOS.5

    I want to update my ipad216GB to iOS.5 but i don't have the software update option in it so how do I update it to iOS.5

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

    I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

    If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.
