HT4623 Updating my 3GS?

Tried updating my 3GS last night, but instead it restored itself and now when I try to activae it, it consistently fails?

HOW as it unlocked? Only the original carrier can unlock the phone. If you used any othe r means to unlock it then it was hacked and now you are the proud owner of a very expensive paper weight. Sorry.

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.

That tends to happen if you hacked your phone to unlock it.

If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.

Do you get an error message.
Was your phone ever locked to a different phone carrier?
When you can't activate, usually means your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlocked it, then when you updated the IOS it locked back to the original carrier.

HT4623 i update my 3gs but i couldn't open

i update my 3gs in ios 6 but dose not work...now what to do?

When you say it doesn't work just exactly what is the problem? If you were trying to get a motor mechanic to fix your car you would not just tell him "my car doesn't work" and expect him to fix it for you. You would have to give him at least some sort of clue

HT4623 whenever i update my 3gs it locks and i cant unlock it because i cant download earlier version what gives.

whenever i try to update my 3gs i locks on me and i can't unlock it because i would have to download an earlier version of itunes which doesn't work can you help me?

You need a valid SIM card from the carrier to which the phone is locked. It sounds like you do not have a legitimately unlocked iPhone, and upgrading the iOS has re-locked it to the legitimate carrier
Only the carrier can unlock the phone.

Your 3GS can happily update to the latest iOS 6.1.3.
Unless it is actually an iPhone 3G, in which case it bottoms out at 4.2.1.

Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes. You'll most likely be prompted to update. For more information and full details, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.

I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

IOS 4 update on 3GS: Album Artwork/author/title missing in some places

Okay, I just updated my 3GS to iOS4 with no dramas, except for the iPod app.
Basically, in Albums mode:
- any album that wasn't from the iTunes Store (i.e. a CD rip) doesn't display its album artwork thumbnail, either in the list view or the new album summary info panel shown above the track listing when you click the album
- in addition, the new album summary panel shows “Unknown Artist” and “Unknown Album” even though the page before (the full Albums list) did in fact show the artist and album title
- however, clicking on a track will in fact show the correct album artwork while the track is playing
In addition, in Cover Flow mode:
- not only do the above affected albums also appear with no artwork,
- but also clicking on them shows *no tracks* at all (whereas they do show up in Albums mode and are successfully playable).
What the?! Anyone else found this? Seems to affect both MP3 and AAC ripped formats (and btw they are legal imports of my own CDs).

I have a similar problem. All of my music won't show the album artwork, and some will even show artwork of a Genius Mix. I rotate to Cover Flow, and everything seems fine there; all of the artwork shows up and the songs are all there. But once I flip to portrait and the Now Playing screen, that artwork disappears and I'm left with that prosaic gray musical note or an ugly Genius Mix artwork with four of my original artworks arranged in a 2-by-2 grid. I set iTunes so that it wouldn't sync my music anymore, synced my iPod, turned music back on, and then synced my iPod again, essentially removing music and putting it back on my device, as the abovementioned suggests.
