You update the iOS using iTunes
If you have an iPhone 3G you can only update to 4.2.1
if you have an iPhone 3GS you can update to 6.1.3

  • TS4036 I upgraded to an Iphone 5 and open  new Icloud account, I then backed up my phone on my brothers Mac Pro, I now want to restore my info to my phone and I get a message that says not enough  space. What do I do

    Delete all back ups on MacBook and create new back up. Restart his MB and attempt to restore again. Do not forget to erase your iphone 5 before restore.

  • My iphone is set to automatically download.  i just made some purchases from my ipad and now my phone has the app and songs showing up, but it says waiting to download.  what gives and how do i fix?

    i have an iphone, imac and 2 ipod touches 5th generation.  I just purchased some apps and songs on the ipad with hopes they would transfer to all the other devices.  some of them did go to all devices while others did not.  when i go to purchases on one of the ipods they show up as not purchaced (even though they may be on 2 of the other devices).  my iphone has them there, but it says waiting to download.  its been a day and they are still waiting to download.  I've checked settings on all and they are set to automatically download and all devices share the same apple id.  not sure what ive done wrong and have tried several things.  hopefully i haven't confused you too much.

    My problem was that Software Update didn't check for updates every day, and maybe never...
    Finally I found that: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120824124203635
    Basically all you have to do is open the Terminal and type:
         sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist ScheduleFrequency 1
    The number, 1 in this case, means the frequency which Software Update is going to check for updates, so 1 means every day.
    If this doesn't work you can try two things (or both, but in this order)
         - Go to /Library/Preferences/ and delete the file: com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, then open Software Update... to create a new file, and go to System Preferences to configure it again. Finally open the Terminal and try the command at the beginning of this comment.
         - If Software Update continues without checking for updates every day, open the file: com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and you will see a preference that is: ScheduleFrequency with the number 1 at its right and you will see that the type is String, copy the file to the Desktop (for example) and change the type String to Number, then drag the file in the Desktop into the Preferences folder and replace the first. It will work. (For this part you will need Xcode)

  • After o download the browser ,i get message that says can not open file what do i need to do to download the browser i have tried 5 times get same message

    its the same shit i asked before after i download the browser i get message can not open file what do i do to dwonload the browser

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I updated to Firefox 4, and there is a "notification" that says: FIREFOX IS NOT ABLE TO SHOW THE TOOLBAR. PLEASE RE-INSTALL THE TOOLBAR. Where do I go to "re-install" the toolbar, Can anybody please help me? Thx. Driekie de Beer.

    How does FIREFOX-TOOLBAR looks like,and where on my page will I see it? I have a lot of toolbars on my page, like, the ZYNGA-toolbar,facemoods, ect..... Before I downloaded the "new version of firefox 4, I had the version 3.16, and had NO trouble at all!

    I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
    There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
    Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

  • HT4623 I tried to update my phone and it is frozen now. It won't do anything.

    I connected my phone to iTunes on my computer and tried to update.  Now my phone won't work and it is stuck on a screen that shows a usb cord and says iTunes.

    Your phone is in recovery mode.  You need to restore it.

    Hi hannijin,
    What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer?  The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have.  For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

  • I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says.  This application must be closed ETC.....   I am running Parralell and I think it is there.  The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent"....

    I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says.  This application must be closed ETC.....   I am running Parralell and I think it is there.  The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent".  How do I close these programs?

    If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
    Parallels has a forum here:
    http://forum.parallels.com/forum.php
    I think you'll get a faster response there.

    I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time  I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

    Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then update your apps one at a time.  Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • HT4623 I don't have a button that says 'system update' how do I download the latest software?

    I dint have a button that says system update so I am still using the software from when iPad 2 first came out. Can anyone help?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Your iPad will be updated to iOS 6.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for it).
