How to upgrade iPhone 3G operating system?

sorry you don't the highest IOS for 3G is 4.2.1
You would have to buy a 3GS or higher to use the lastest IOS>

  • Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now there's 21GB of Others.  How to get rid of it?  It's taken up all the space on the phone.

    Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now in itunes I can see there's 21GB of Others.  I have no idea what is that.  I didnt have that before the upgrade. How to get rid of it?  It's taken up all the space on the phone.

    I posted a fix for this temporary issue earlier but here it is in short:
    The memory "hog" that is "others" seems to be the OS as it's installing. It seems to want more than 12GB and you may get stuck at the point where iTunes tries to load everything back on and the iPhone has run out of space. What you need to to is un-check the "sync" box at the apps, music, podcasts and other sections, then click the button to sync iTunes with iPhone. This will result in iTunes deleting all the data it restored, but you'll put it back later. Once you caused the deletion of most of the data, iOS5 will resume installing and then "magically" shrink to less than 1GB. Then you can place check marks back in the boxes and re-sync all your apps and other data. You will have plenty or memory left.
    I followed the above procedure and my iPhone works perfectly.
    Hope this helps.

    Just upgraded iphone 4 to iOS5.  Cannot add events to my calendar.  Any ideas???

    apps are not tied to a computer or to an ios device they are tied to an appleID
    you can see all apps you ever downloaded in your iphones app store app where you can redownload them for free
    same deal with itunes on your pc
    what you're talking about are just files files have little meaning

  • HT4972 How do I upgrade iPad to ios 4?

    How can I upgrade my iPad to a newer ios ?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How do I upgrade iPhone 4 with IOS 4.3.5 ?

    Just got an iPhone 4 with IOS 4.3.5 . How to I upgrade to IOS 7 ? Is it possible to upgrade to IOS 6 ? Please advise how. Thanks

    If you happen to have an older Mac then it may not support the newest iTunes (11.1), and as such will not support using that computer to do your iOS 7.02 update.  If that is your situation and you don't want to purchase a new Computer, perhaps you have regular access (Family or Close Friends) that you would have regular and assured access to their Computer.  A Windows PC or Mac will do, but it must be capable of supporting iTunes 11.1. 
    Putting the new iOS 7.02 on your iPhone 4 should not slow-down your iPhone.  You will get some new features, but not all features available to users with Newer iPhone Models.  It is always a good idea to be on the most current release for support reasons, if possible.
    The important thing is that if you upgrade, you will need to have a clear plan to keep your iPhone, iTunes and iCloud (if you use it) all synced.

  • HT4972 How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?

    How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?  I've reset it, erased it, but still won't install iOS5.

    You most likely have a 2G iPod touch which cannot go beyond iOS 4.2.1.  If it is an 8gb or 16 gb iPod without a camera, it is a 2G iPod.

  • Upgraded iPhone 4 to iOS5 - camera acting strangely?

    Hey all - since I upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS5, the camera app has been behaving strangely - in particular:
    - It freezes - need to stop the app and restart
    - Switching modes (from still to video) takes forever
    - Pressing the video record button has a huge delay between when I press it and when it starts recording.
    Anyone else having similar issues?  Any solutions out there?
    Thanks!

    I have upgraded 5 devices and one of the iPhone 4 had the similar problem. The user were unable to use the sidebar at all (not even moving to the end of the list). And when the contact has Chinese index, system seem to reandomly group them to many different "#" groups instead of a single group of contacts with chinese as the 1st characters.
    In addition to that, the Reminder app was also mistakenly set to Chinese UI after restore when the system language was actually set to English at all time (both the initial factory setting and backup image).
    I guess the plists were screwed up or something during the restore from ios4 backup.. luckily that the Reminder title can be customized (and that's probably why it won't change back to English after reset).
    I will continue to look around if someone else got this figured out too.. otherwise, I am sure I will be bugged by many other users and friends for the next couple weeks... : ()
    ...It does look like that the ios5 firmware and ios4 backup has some minor bot annoying conflicts waiting to be resolved... seriously, a bit disappointed this round.

  • Upgraded iphone 4 to IOS5 now cant send email on 3G

    I upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS5 a couple of weeks ago.  The other day I turned off wifi and realized that my phone will not send email on 3G.  It works fine on wifi but if wifi is turned off or not available I get a message telling me the server rejected the senders address.  Any suggestions?

    @lovehelmet good joke!
    Today I visit an A1 Telekom store and I ask about this problem. He say "the programmer are working to that and today or tomorrow you will be able to set any APN or other settings".
