HT4623 My iphone 3gs is connected to wifi however software update is not available. I only have the iOS 4.1 :(
hi. Can someone please help me how to update the iOS version of my iphone 3gs. Thankyou. Software update is not available in settings.
Over the air updating of iOS needs iOS 5 or later so unless you have iOS 5 or later you will not see updating in setting

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes. You have to restore your iPad now.

My iPhone 4S has downloaded the new update for the Is07 update but when it comes to installing it I click the agree thing and then it says verifying update and an error pops up some time later saying update software is unavailable at this time try again later is anyone else having this issue???
I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

Whenever I try to update my iPhone 4 for ios7, it say Software update is not available at this time. Try again later.
The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might need to wait and try again later.

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.
I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?
Hi troy157,
I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

MY iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi after updating to ios 8.1.1
after updating to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi at all.

IPhone can't connect to wifi at home
periodically my wife's and my iphone can't connect to wifi at our house. We do have many devices connected - about 7-9 - but it seems like the iphone is at the bottom of the pecking order. No other devices have this problem. Sometimes when I unplug and replug the router it will connect to the phones. Do I have a bad router?
From personal experience, I have learned that all Apple devices are good for detecting netowrking/wifi issues. My home wifi works great most of the time. When I start having problems with my iPhones, it will progress to the iPads, then the MacBooks, then eventually to the ThinkPads. If I resstart my router when I start having problems with my iPhones, everything else is always happy. I have even gotten tot hte point that I restart my router once a month (usually at 8:00pm on the 1st) and then I don't have any problems with any of my devices cconnecting, even the iPhones.

Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?
So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct! I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
I hope you can helpWell are you absolutely certain you know your password. This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up.
If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password. Theres other errrors for that. Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password -

so sorry if i offended you, also as you my see in my last post i have already restarted my router and disconnected it a number of times and it still does not work - so for civilities sake i dont appreciate being accused of not knowing something that i have not admitted too
