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.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4 does not have the iOS 8 update

    My iPhone 4 does not have the iOS 8 update. I keep restarting the phone it is just not showing it. I have always updated it.I do not know how to fix it?????

    There’s nothing to fix. iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor, which the iPhone 4 doesn’t have and can’t be upgraded to include.

  • HT4972 my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update the software

    my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update it?

    It isn't in the device pane. If you have selected your iPhone, then on the right side you should see information on what is contained on your iPhone. There should be a number of tabs towards the top, Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Not necessarily in that order. On the Info tab is where you should find the tab. It should look like this.

    Hello ymprice91277, let's solve this mystery! To unlink the Facebook contacts go to Settings, Facebook, turn off contacts.

  • HT1976 why is my iphone 4 does not have cellular data network only cellular data

    why is my iphone 4 does not have a cellular data network and apn only cellular data without apn settings,thanks

    # Settings > Refresh apps on background. I would suggest to completely turn that off
    # Settings > Privacy > Location tracking > Only Maps, Google Maps are allowed to use location tracking in my case, you could also turn that off completely or be very selective which apps can use your GPS.
    # Settings > E-mail, calendar .. >deselect 'Push' and set it to either Fetch e.g. once an hour for all separate e-mail accounts you have. In your case you could set it to Manual so you won't use any data as long as you won't open your E-mail app and manually download e-mails.
    It could also be that there is still an app running in the background as i had. See also this post.
    In that case you need to dive into the Settings > General > Info > Diagnostics and Use >
    Diagnostics and Use >logs per app to determine which app isn't closed although you turned off your phone (or even in my case reset to factory settings  without backup). It's unfortunately pretty hard to find the app that is causing this. Therefore i wish Apple would come up with a better solution for this to see which processes/app(s) should be killed (now the best solution is removing the app completely).

    Why is my iphone 4 does not have a cellular data network only cellular data

    Hi beingkejo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Toggling Airplane mode and cellular data are good troubleshooting steps. If your iPhone still does not connect to cellular data automatically when Wi-Fi disconnects, I recommend the additional steps in this article:

    All the best,

  • My iPhone 3 does not have the x on apps for me to delete , so how can I delete my apps

    My iPhone 3 does not have a x at the corner of my apps when I press and hold, so how can I delete apps?

    Hey Sharifa04,
    It sounds like you may have Restrictions enabled, specifically the restriction of deleting applications. You can disable this behavior in Settings > General > Restrictions > "Deleting Apps" (Note: You'll need to enter your restrictions passcode to disable restrictions). For more information, see the following article:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    Also, keep in mind that you will not be able to delete the pre-installed applications on the iPhone, as they are required by the software.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
