HT4623 What would happen if i don't update my ios to the latest software version? Will it cause my iphone to malfunction?

I have been experiencing signal related concerns like connecting to 3g network eversince a new software update becomes available in the settings notification. I didn't update to the latest software version because i find it time consuming and tedious. What will happen now if i refused to update my iphone software, will it cause my device to not work properly? Kindly enlighten me, thank you!

No, you can ignore it for as long as you like, but it sounds as though your phone is already not working properly. Though the following updates do not specifically address your concern it is possible that it could help.

    What is the latest software version update available for the iphone 3g model?

    I can see that this version doesn't have personal hotspot icon like the 4 handsets do, but would you know if there is a way to connect the handset with this version to a pc to be able to use the handset as a modem?

  • Help...!!!! After down loading the latest software version 5.0 my iPhone went completely dead. I can't switch it on... It's completely dead. What do I do..?

    Can someone help please..? After down loading to the latest software verssion 5.0. My iPhone went completely dead. Can't swith on any more. What can I do?

    Hi, thank you very much for your reply. No my phone was never been jailbreak-ed. Never been dropped in water or in any wet surface. Dropped on the floor while texting yes, but it was just a one time incident, last year august i can clearly remember, but after that no more (phone still works fine even after.) restored the phone again earlier, but problem still occured. Will try to go to Apple also to ask and have it checked.  Just worried because my phone is already out of warranty. Will keep you posted. Again, thanks. If you have any more advice just let me know. It would mean a lot.
    Cheers,

  • What is the latest software version for my iMac? I have version OS X version 10.7.5

    What is the latest software version for my iMac? I have version OS X 10.7.5

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have OS X Lion. OS X Mountain Lion is compatible with Mid 2007 (iMac7,1 or newer) iMacs, so to check that you have a compatible Mac, press , hold the Option (Alt) key and open System Information. Then, check Model Identifier. Also, the App Store will tell you if your iMac is supported when you try to purchase OS X Mountain Lion, so you can skip this step.
    While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. You will be running OS X 10.8.4

  • What is the latest software version for the Nokia ...

    So this is really just a token post to keep my service provider happy (no idea why I have to do all the asking for them when we both already know the answer) but can I please have a confirmation of the latest software versoin for the Nokia 6700 Slide.
    On a side note it would be greatly appreciated if you could PLEASE send a copy of the latest version of the software to my carrier (Vodafone Australia) so that they can finally push out the latest version of the software.
    Thanks, swinsor

    v71.004 seems to be the last released update. If the phone is Network branded your device may / may not get this update. Anyway, the update was released long ago. 
    This being a User-to-User Forum, can't do anything else than providing the info. 

  • Firefox keeps popping up wanting me to upgrade. What happens if I don't? I have tried the more current versions, however my computer continually has problems with it. So I have downgraded to 3.6.

    Basically, I just want to know what happens if I choose not to upgrade to the most current version? I keep getting pop ups to upgrade my 3.6 but it always takes me to the download for 6.0! I '''DO NOT''' want 6.0-it sucks! My computer is not even a year old but Firefox 6.0 caused many issues. Plug ins-all updated/current, but 6.0 would not allow some of my programs run properly. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.6. This version seems to be the only one that does not cause problems! If you need any further information, please eel free to contact me @: ''removed''

    I don't know why all these programmers won't get a real job, instead of "upgrading" something that worked very well up to a year ago. Every "upgrade" takes away a lot of functionality - and eliminates useful plugins. Sadly, Firefox seems now aimed at kids who like to play with the computer, neglecting people who use the Internet for BUSINESS purposes. Version 6.0 crashes constantly, sometimes every few minutes, so it became totally useless. I'm switching to Opera.

  • HT4623 the itunes is saying that there is a software update needed to download 10.7 itunes but when i go to update my mac to the latest software, none shows up ? Whats going on?

    To update my Itunes to the 10.7 or later, it says I need to update my mac. When i go to update my mac, it says that there is not one available. How do I fix this?

    What Mac OS X version do you have? You can go to  > About this Mac and find the version. If you don't have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, you'll need to update to that and then your iTunes will update. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1400 <=== that is the link to purchase the 10.6.8 update

      If there is no pressing reason to update the phone, I would wait. There are alot of people that are having problems with the phone when they did the upgrades. Missed calls/texts, dropped calls, freezing, etc.
      Gingerbread is rumored to be in the works for the Fascinate, hopefully soon...

  • HT4623 My Itunes on my PC keeps telling me I need to update my phone to the latest itunes 10.6.3 and my iphone is up to date on all of its updates. Wont let me download any music etc? Help please.

    My itunes on my PC keeps telling me I need to update my phone to the latest 10.6.3 and according to my phone I have no new updates. This is preventing me from downloading music from my itunes to my iphone. Please help!

    It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.

  • After updating my itunes to the latest software, my iphone is not recognized in itunes.  Normally, when i plug my phone in to be synced i would get two bell-like noises that confirmed my phone was being charged/synced, now i get 3 monotone "bum bum bum"s.

    my iphone 4 (3G) is no longer showing up in itunes, and is no longer even a recognzed device by my computer since i updated itunes.  i was going to try updating my iphone software, but it is suggested to back it up before i do that, but i cant back it up if its not showing up in itunes, etc. if i plug in my ipod, i have no problems whatsoever. can anyone help me out here? i feel like an idiot. thanks

    If the hard rest isn't working then it sounds like its not going to turn on. Accidently damage isn't covered in you limited hard ware warranty. The iPhone 4 and below is 149$ to replace and iPhone 4s is 199$

  • HT1296 I have an iPhone 5 and a Mac desk top with the latest software versions. I cannot sync calendar items entered on my phone to the computer. Items entered on the computer first, will sync to the phone, but not the other way. What settings do I need t

    How do I get calendar items entered on my iPhone5 to sync to my Mac desk top? The sync seems to omly work from computer to phone.

    The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.
