HT4623 if i have ios 4 do i have to update to 5 before i can update to 6?

my mom has an iphone with ios 4.1, and i was wondering if she has to update her phone to ios 5 before she can get ios 6 or can she update directly to ios 6?

It's only possible to update directly to the latest released version compatible with a given device.

    I recently purchased a tv show on my apple tv.  Do I have to download each episode before I can play it? Each episode download is approx 28 min to download

    There is no storage in the Apple TV so you need to load content each time you view. However it only needs to load a small portion before it starts. If you do want to store it you can access your purchase in iTunes and stream via home-sharing.

  • Hi. I am trying to buy Apperture as my trial version has expired. I cannot buy the full version as I get a message saying it is already installed. Do I have to remove the trial before I can buy it? When I launch Apperture, I follow the link "buy"

    If you are purchasing from the Mac App store, then you would drag the trial version to the trash first and empty trash (since the trial version has expired).
    Launch the Mac App store > sign in with your Apple ID > purchase Aperture (this is cheaper than the previous retail version many of us purchased anyway).
    Note - you can rename your Aperture Trial library as needed if you want to work with that one once the full version is installed.

  • Is it true that I have to wait 12 months before I can unlock my iphone 5 from it's original carrier ?

    Is it true that I have to wait 12 months before I can unlock my iphone 5 from it's original carrier ?

    As stated earlier, the carriers have full control over unlocking. They are the only ones that can authorize it and it is by their rules. Apple does nothing but facilitate. Any issues you have with unlocking will have to be taken up with the carrier.

  • HT4623 Do you have any update which resolve the "No Service" issues on the iPhone 4 and 4S?

    Hello!
    I am from Sweden. Using iOS 6.0.1 on iPhone 4S. I ordered this iPhone hopping that you have resolved this issue " No Service". I had this problem on my iPhone 4 and that is the reason why I ordered this one. The sim card is now totally blocked for the 5th time. Even on iPhone 4S am having the same issue. Do you have any update which resolve this problem? If not what do you want me to do? All our employees are using iPhone and if this issue is not resolved, we are planning to stop all orders from Apple. Please let me know as soon as possible. My E-mail is [email protected] Thanks!

    You are not talking to Apple here; we are users like yourself.Apple does not monitor this forum and will not respond as this is a user-to-user forum.
    Did you contact your carrier? It sounds as if it is a carrier problem.

  • HT4623 Don't have software update in my general settings why?

    Don't have software update in my general settings, why? And whatever I try my iPhone won't let me update software. Suggestions

    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 or iPhone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the device to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the device 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 device by right-clicking the iPad/iPhone 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the device on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    3GS doesnt have the update software option under general settings..I want to update my version of itunes to be able to download the Times Mobile App..cant seem to do it..

    The feature you are looking for is available with iOS 5 or later. You will need to update your iPhone with iTunes on a Mac or PC.

    An iPad 2 will update to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

    I have my mail set to retrieve data manually. When I retrieve mail, I get a popup box for each and every e-mail message asking if I want to view or cancel and must either view or cancel each one before I can use other apps on the ipad. How can I turn these popups off?

    Try reset iPad (not Restore)
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • For some reason, just recently i am unable to send e mails from my aol account from my i phone. I cannot send pics etc. as e mail either, when i have always been able to before. Can anyone help ?

    just recently i am unable to send any sort of e mails from my i phone using my aol e mail account. I am unable to forward pics to others via e mail. It simply will not allow, when i have always been able to before.

    We took our MacBook Pro to the  apple store, after a long trial and error, they FIXED the  problem!
    It turns out that one of the files was corrupt, it was either Java or Silverlight.
    My suggestion to you is to remove Java than restart and then reinstall Java. See if hotmail works. If not, than, remove Silverlight reboot than reinstall Silverlight.
    For us, it was one of those two files that were corrupt and that was causing hotmail to not be able to send email.
    I'm not sure what the procedure is to remove and reinstall files, all I know is that my wives MacBook can now send email using hotmail.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5661 I have my moms old ipod and I have been trying to put my itunes purchases on the ipod and it keeps telling my I have to wait 90 days before I can do this.  Is there are way to get my purchases onto the ipod??

    My mother gave me her old ipod since she has an iphone.  I reset the ipod and signed in under my apple id but the ipod tells me I can't download my previous purchase music because I have to wait 90 days.  What can I do instead of waiting 90 days to use the ipod?  This is the 3rd generation I think without the camera.

    You have to sync them from a computer that has those songs. You can't redownload for 90 days
    This describes the 90 day period

  • Had a trial now paid for cloud do I have to uninstall trial version before I can use these products?

    I had a trial version and now am signed up to use the cloud as a student. Do I have to uninstall the trial version before I can start to download all the items I want to use?  When I was reading and watching tutorial it said to uninstall the beta.  I am just learning to use software and don't exactly know how to start using the suite of products I am purchasing for 19.99 a month.  Need to get this done asap for school projects.

    No, you can leave your installed versions in place. When you install the application manager, it will recognize them and serialize the apps for you to use them. Only reinstall if thast doesn't work properly.

  • Do I have to purchase Snow Leopard before I can purchase OS Lion?

    Do I have to purchase OS Snow Leopard before I can purchase OS Lion?

    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Or you can wait until August when Apple will release Lion on a USB Flash Drive for $69
    Since you're still running 10.5 unless you've got the model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody your MacBook probably doen't have the buttonless Multi-Touch trackpad. Which means you can't use the gestures feature in Lion.

  • HT4623 don't have software update in general settings on my ipod touch

    Can you tell me if i can upgrade to ios5 have ipod touch version 4.3.2 (8h7)

    That option comes with iOS 5.
    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 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    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
