how to upgrade iphone4 to iOS5.1 already downloaded to my G drive?

You can select and install the file it by Shift-clicking the Update button in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file. I presume you download directly from Apple's servers, yes? If you downloaded from any other location, do not install that file; it cannot be trusted. 
Note that you cannot install a version earlier than the one already on your iPhone, though. If your iPhone has iOS 5.1.1 as your profile indicated, you cannot put iOS 5.1 on that iPhone.  
Regards.

    you can't update to iOS 5.  You can only update to the latest version available for your device, which for the 3GS is iOS 6.
    Connect to computer
    Launch iTunes
    Click Update button

  • How to upgrade iPad2 to iOS5 without deleting my photos & apps etc

    I have an iPad 2 and it's been a long time since I did a sync and i don't have the computer any more.
    I want to upgrade to iOS5, I downloaded iTunes onto a PC and plugged in the ipad but it said it was going to erase everything.
    I don't care about music and videos (I don't have any), but I MUST PRESERVE my photos and contacts and notes and bookmarks and applications.
    What must I do please? I serached on goole and it suggested third party programs, but I would prefer not to buy some dogy progams just to upgrade my ipad.
    Thank you very much, William

    Have a look at this article How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Basically you'll have to make sure to back up manually by right clicking on your device in the device list and choosing "backup", then do the same again to transfer your purchases. Make sure you have at least one contact and event listed on your computer, to be able to merge data when you sync for the first time.
    Contacts and photos taken with the ipad are part of the backup, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    Photos can also be copied to your computer, as explained here: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer

  • Upgraded iphone4 to ios5, lost contacts, help!

    Just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and now all of my contacts on my phone are gone, not good.
    "Just plug in your phone and let oTunes do the rest" they said. Can I please get my contacts back?

    You need to turn off synching through the iCloud and synch through iTunes to your Outlook of Address Book however this will still leave you with linked/duplicate contact cards in your phone and your favorites contacts in the phone as well as all caller id photos etc. will be linked to the old contacts.  In order to get rid of those contacts what I did was added the simple change to the contacts I synched from the computer (I added an exclamation point to the notes sections).  Then synch to your iPhone through iTunes not through the iCloud, then search your iPhone for the first contact name you have in your list.  You will see this will bring up 2 contacts for the same person.  Select either contact then hit the back button.  You will then be in the contact list but you will see in this work around there will be 2 contacts listed for everyone.  Select the contact card and then delete it that does not have the added change so you can tell what is new and old.  This will leave you with the new contact cards and remove the corrupted/lost contacts.  You will lastly need to turn on the iCloud synch and either leave or remove those changes you made (like my exclamation points) from your new contacts.  This is a pain in the tail but the only way I was able to completely fix the issue.
    Good luck!

  • How to upgrade ipad1 with iOS5?

    Where in iTunes can I download iOS5 into my ipad?

    Updating to iOS 5 : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5+ on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5+ installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
    If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

  • After I upgraded iPhone4 to iOS5.0.1, the iPhone screen was shown a picture which request me to connect it to iTunes.  I can do nothing on my phone includes dialing emergency call.

    After I upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone screen was locked and it has shown a picture which requested me to connect my iPhone to iTunes.  My iPhone can do nothing now. 
    I've tried to deleted my iTunes and downloaded the latest version.  However, when I plugged in my iPhone4, the plug-in sound is different from before and it cannot be detected by iTunes. 
    Please kindly help.

    So whenever you plug the iPhone into the USB port your computer doesn't recognize it???? At all?? Can you check on the hardware of your pc if by any chance is the USB being detected; like it will appear and then diss connect  from the pc, just to check and make sure that something is changing, of nothing occurs I will doubt on the cable, you can get one and then return it if it's not the case.
    If it is detected then did you backup the iPhone? If so you may need to rollback the change.
    Please try!
    Good luck

  • Upgraded iPhone4 to ios5 and no longer have a Safari.

    How do I get my Safari Icon Back?  I've done a revert, then allowed iTunes to reinstall my backed up image, I still don't have Safari.  I DON'T want to revert and then spend the endless hours reinstalling applications, music..etc over what I though would be part of the Core iOS.

    WOW...thanks.  I completely misread Dave Sawyers note.  I've never used restrictions so I never new this type of feature existed.  And I knew Safari was part of Core iOS, which is why it was frustrating to me.
    Thanks AGAIN!
