HT4623 updating iphone 3gs from version 4.2 to higher

Hi
I have a iphone which has not been connected to the internet for a year and is on version 4 software but i cant seem to update it to a better version as most of my apps dont work on version 4
Thanks

This is the "ordernumber" it means it is a 3G indeed, not the 3Gs, and the 3G max iOS is 4.2.1.
It can only updated via the computer iTunes.

  • HT4623 I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link

    I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link. This is probably a frequently asked question, so I'm sorry but I'm new to this.

    That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
    You have iOS 4... See Here...

    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, I upgraded my Iphone 3gs from version 4.1 to 6.0.1 but upon restarting, the sim card is no longer recognized, i cant restore with itune nothing at all!! i'm so confused and ****** off... please provide any help

    Is the SIM from the carrier the device is locked to?
    Has the device ever been hacked or jailbroken?
    Have you tried simply removing and re-installing the SIM?  What about replacing the SIM?

  • My updated iPhone 3GS from 4.2.1 to 6.0.1 is stuck in restore mode

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my iPhone 3GS, which is stuck in restore mode.
    I've done theses steps :
    Update iTunes to the last version on my Windows7
    Connect my iphone and synchronize for the first time
    Manually backup my data with iTunes (more than 4000 pictures, messages, ...)
    Accept to download and update to iOS 6.0.2 from iTunes
    iTunes backup my data once again and starts the iOS update
    When my iPhone is updated, restore process starts and craches with an "Error -10" message.
    The iPhone is fully functional but completely empty. I check this page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 but can't find my backup.
    If I check this path \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ or use iTunes to find backups, the only are made by itunes with iOS 6. Old backupswith iOS 4.2.1 have disappeared.
    How can I retsore my iphone ?

  • Problems updating iPhone 3GS from 3.0.1

    I have read numerous other posts on this topic, but they have not helped me. Whenever I connect my iPhone to my Mac, I am prompted to update the iPhone software, but this has failed repeatedly, with err=-3259. I have tried connecting the Mac to my wireless router with an ethernet cable, and have also tried turning off the firewall. I have no specific antivirus software installed to turn off. I have tried restoring my iPhone, but this also fails, as the iPhone software update is "timed out" with the same error message. Any ideas, anyone?

    That's because Apple is no longer signing v3.1.3 nor any firmware other than iOS4.  You could try following a downgrade to v3.1.3, see these:
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=Downgrade+iPhone&objID=c201 &dateRange=last30days&userID=&numResults=30&rankBy=10001
    This guide works for 3G but not 3GS, though there are some suggestions for 3GS users in there:

  • Hello, migration to iCloud is impossible because updating iPhone 3GS from v 3.1.2 to v 5.0 fails

    Hello,
    Here is my configuration
    iPhone 3 GS 16 Go, iOS v 3.1.2
    Airbook Mac OS X v10.6.8
    MobileMe account since 2009
    (all in French)
    Here is the problem
    I am trying to migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. Several trials to update the iPhone with iTunes to v5 however failed. Safeguarding iPhone content takes > 6 hours and blocks at about 10 %. Syncing iPhone and Mac is no problem. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Hello Boris,
    >> It implies that I can do an export of my app from the old env (Application Builder -> Export Application) and import it into my new env (Application Builder -> Import Application) and expect everything to work. Is my understanding correct?
    Your understanding is almost correct. APEX application is not only the “source code” of the application, which you get upon exporting the application from your original APEX engine. You also need all the supporting objects of the application, on the database level – tables, sequences, stored procedures, and every other database resources your application is using. Those will not be included in the APEX application export file.
    After you duplicate the APEX database environment (like the schema that was associated with the APEX workspace), you can import the application, and it all should work just fine.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • Updated iphone 3gs from 3.1 to 5.0.1 it wont activate :( HELP ME!

    it was jailbroken before also and i bought a sim card and i live in doha,qatar i used QTEL sim card but still doesnt work :( HELLLLLP!

    Nothing you can do.
    Discussion of jailbroken devices/jailbreaking is forbidden here.
    Updating the iOS version will revert the device back to the carrier locked status it was originally built for.
    Only an official unlock from the carrier will survive an iOS update.

  • HT4623 after updating my iphone 3gs from os 4 to os 5.1.1, it left with activating the phone but i've been trying since and is still not activating, the notification given is ''activition server temporarly unavilable". can somebody help me out?

    First use JPanel not Panel.
    Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
    JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
    panels=new Panel();
    panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
    panels=new JPanel();
    panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
    I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.
