  • HT4972 Can I update my iPad to iOS5

    Can I update my iPad to IOS5?

    Any iPad can be updated to iOS 5. You need to use a computer and iTunes - the latest version of iTunes is advised.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

    Hi David,
    any luck later?
    I'm experiencing the same issue and I see that you're also posting from China. Not sure is location-related but if you managed to activate you iPhone: how did you do it? Just keep on trying?

    Thanks, ciao.

    If your phone is an iPhone 3G, you can't update higher than 4.2.1
    Only the 3GS can do.

  • HT4623 can i update iphone 3g to ios6

    can i update iphone 3g to ios6

    Stop yelling.
    It is not physically possible to update an iPhone 3G to iOS 6. The highest version of iOS it will run is 4.2.1.
    If, on the other hand, it is actually a 3GS, it can run iOS 6.1.6
    Have you considered doing what it's telling you to do and connecting it to your computer running iTunes?

  • Updated iphone 3gs to ios5 now I can't open contacts or make phone calls

    This afternoon I decided to update my iphone 3GS to ios5 and now I find that I can not open the contacts app or the phone app which told me I had missed calls and a voicemail they just both immediately close. I tried opening the settings > mail, contacts page and that closes immediately and after creating an icloud account thing I tried to turn contacts on and it just automaticaly closes. I tried creating a contact from an existing message and it automaticaly close. I've sync'd the phone numerous times and it's the same deal. It's only these two apps that don't work
    If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't update iPhone 3G from 4.2.1 to iOS5

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 3G from 4.2.1 to iOS5. When I plug in the iPhone it says your software is up to date. I've tried restoring it and no joy. Any ideas?

    Well... If you paid any atention to anything that has been circulating for the past few months, you would know that the iPhone 3G is no longer supported by Apple. You can't update past iOS 4.2.1. Sorry.

  • Just Updated iPhone 3GS to iOS5, Can't receive any incoming calls at all

    Hi, I just updated my phone to iOS5 and now, I'm having these troubles.
    - Can't receive any incoming calls at all
    - The incoming calls directly goes to voice mail greeting
    - No incoming rings & no missed calls alerts
    - Also noticed the incoming text with 4 to 5 hours delays
    - Sometimes 3G network get lost
    The reception (status bar) is good level, can make outgoing calls okay and can send text okay.
    I did try reset the network setting and it seems working a few hours then went back to troubles (mentioned above).
    I've done 3 or 4 times reset but none have been resolved yet.
    Anyone having a same issues?
    I have
    iPhone 3GS with iOS5
    Network with O2 UK
    Thanks,

    After reset "All network settings" a several times, it seems working but few hours later it 's been gone back to troubles again.
    Is this related to iOS5 or O2?
    I've contacted the network carrier several times but no-one yet get back to me.
    Any ideas, please helps.

    Well, you're timing is perfect then   Are you eligible for any upgrade pricing from your service provider?
    I skipped over the iPhone 4s, and I am eligible for full upgrade pricing in almost exactly one month from yesterday, so I will be moving to an iPhone 5 next month.
