Then you will need to update to iOS 5.1.1 as outlined above. A word of caution before updating: be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing with a supported program such as Outlook, to an online service such as Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup). Failure to do so risks losing your data.
Syncing an iPhone 4 requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
You will first need to meet these system requirements in order to sync (and update) your phone.

I bought an IPhone 3gs and tried to reset the APN through Strait Talk Wireless but when I click on settings then "General" tab they tell me to click on the "Network" tab but there is not a "Network" tab? After Network, I was supposed to go to Cellular Data Settings but I can't find the Network tab under the General tab. I watched videos and every IPhone I saw had the Network tab but mine don't, can anyone please help this old man fix this new technology, so I can use the Internes and MSM?Thanks, jerry b <><
Hey electrikn,
Thanks for the question. If your iPhone 3GS has been updated to iOS 6, this setting had moved:
Set network options: Go to Settings > General > Cellular

when i go to settings then general there is no software update? i am trying to up date my phone...
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.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

Hi I'm not unable to update my iPad software as when I go to settings then general I don't have the tab bar that offers me the opportunity to update software. Any ideas why as I am unable to download some apps etc as it says I need a different iOS-
Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

Hi, vernon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature. Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.
iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large

I have an I phone 3gs. When I go to Settings, then General, then Cellular, only Cellular Data and Enable 3G appear. There is no Roaming"" option to turn on or off. When I first started using the phone it was there, and I turned it off. Why is it no longer there? What can I do to get it back? I am being charged roaming charges!!
My iphone 4s has the Cellular Data and Data Roaming but does NOT have the option of ROAMING Voice&Data. Do you know how to enable it?
