Thanks for your information stedman1 and also for diesel vdub, it's answered why i cannot update ios 5 or higher, first i'm really sure that my iphone is 3GS, because itunes detected as a 3Gs, but when i use another computer. itunes detected as a 3G.. i don't know why, i use same itunes version on both computer.. i was bought my iphone at 2009, and the seller said that it's 3Gs..

I am trying to update the iPhone 3GS to IOS5. At download i get an error - network timed out. Repeated tried several times. Is there an issue with the Apple Update Server or too much rush ? How do i update my phone using iTunes?

I am using iPhone 3GS. It is currently updated to IOS4.3. I am trying to update the OS to IOS5 on iTunes. It downloads the software, but it gives an error - network timed out. I have tried this multiple times. But, the end result is same.
Please help & advise as how I can upgrade the iPhone to IOS5.

Temporarily turn off or disable your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.

HT4972 I'm trying to update my iphone 3G to ios5 - however in Itunes when I 'check for updates' it is advising me that I have the latest version (4.2.1). Hence I can't update and now I can't run a few of the apps I previously used. Help!

Following a backup and restore of my iphone 3g I have lost the use of a number of apps - this seems to be as they need ios5 or later to support them and I only have 4.2.1
When I check for updates via itunes I am advised that I have the latest version - but clearly I don't.
Any help gratefully received on how I can upgrade to ios5

Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

HT4972 After updating my iPhone 3Gs to iOS5, it seems like it needs to be activated? When I connected it to iTunes, this message appears: "There is no SIM card inserted in the iPhone you are attempting to activate." It cannot read my sim card?! What shall

After updating my phone, it needs to be activated! I don't know what to do because it can't read my sim and other sims and it cannot be activated without a sim! What should I do?! HELP! Anyone? PLEASE?

Try a new SIM card.
If your phone was hacked to unlock it, it will require a SIM card from the carrier to which it was originally locked.

I updated my iPhone 3GS to ios5, all apps and photos are restored but lost all contacts? I've restored it and it doesn't work, I've changed the iCloud settings to off on contacts then back on, I've tried loads but I can't get them back. Please help!

It's weird as I did back it all up and whatever I try it doesn't work! I spoke to apple and they wanted to charge me!!!!

Your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - when you log in with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer, your contacts are available there?
Your contacts are not available with an address book app on your computer?

Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

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.

As suggested previously in this thread, search the forums or google for the exact error that is occuring, since the one you mention is NOT the same as the OP.
