HT4972 I am unable to upgrade my Iphone 4 3G about 2 years old to IOS 5.0? Please help
I am unable to upgrade my Iphone 4 3G software to IOS 5.0. My phone is 2 years old.
That's correct. You are unable to upgrade an iPhone 3G to iOS 5. You are unable to upgrade the iOS past 4.2.1.
This is normal.
Edit: Wait, do you have an iPhone 4 or an iPhone 3G? Your post is a little confusing.

See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and read about the 1015 error. Usually refers to jailbreaking, or attempts to install different firmware. Does this apply to you?

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!
My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!
I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

I`m unable to use my Iphone 4S after updating it to the latest software,PLEASE HELP
It was supposed to update my phone to the latest software but has since stopped working all together and only showing the USB connection and Itunes logo on the black screen when I connect the phone to my computer and it`s been like that for the past 4 hours.I can`t access the phone content,it goes off completely once I disconnect it from my computer;I`m seriously sick and tired of all this software update issues,please help me sort it out.
I talked with Apple support they tried having me restart my comp and reinstall intunes. Which did not work and he basically said that I would need to go the apple store and probably have to get a new phone. Thank god I backed everything up first.

Problem with my iphone 4s. screen and icons shaking. ios 5.1. please help thanks apple.
good day apple. can you help me with my iphone 4s 5.1. SCREEN AND ICONS ARE SHAKING. what am going to do. thanks
okay. I tried the airplane mode and do not disturb on and off thing, resetting the network settings and all settings, restoring the iPhone using iTunes, draining phone using flashlight, reheating the phone using hair dryer and freezing the phone.. the freezing makes my wifi work again but it only last a couple of hours and I didn't want to try it anymore because I'm afraid it may cause another problem to my phone if I keep doing that.

Unable to upgrade to iPhone 2.0
When I try to upgrade to iPhone 2.0 I get error message (-5000) saying that I am unable to upgrade. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with iPhone tech support and they had no clue... any ideas?

I bought my iPad off a friend and it is hacked. I can't upgrade the software to iOS 5.1 it says unable to update. And something about me not being eligible. I need help please
If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get the facebook app on my phone to even open. Any ideas? I already tried shutting the phone off and restarting, but it didn't change anything. Thanks for any suggestions that will help.
Do you have the latest FaceBook app version installed?
If so, try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. -
HT4623 iPhone 3GS, 3 years old. Unlock?
Hello. I have an iPhone 3GS, 3 years old. I have purchased it in USA, but have used it in Europe, and with a Danish carrier. Is it locked to any carrier after 3 years or can I update it to IOS 6. Or can you provide an official EMEI unlock?
Regards from Denmark.
Peter WillkanIn order to use it outside the US without having it legitimately unlocked by AT&T, it had to be hacked.
Hacked/jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the terms of use.
ONLY AT&T can legally authorize unlocking it. Contact them. Be warned that the 'hack' used to unlock it for use outside the US originally may render it unable to process a legitimate unlock even if AT&T agrees to unlock it for you. You may be left with a brick. -
i have itunee 11 and iphone 4 and i can't sync my apps to the iphone. it just stops on "determining apps to sync".please help
it is an itouch, i buy apps from the app store, they are purchased, they show up in my app section but when i try to sync them to my itouch they do not show up in on the itouch. i have tried to atuthorize and deauthorize the computer also few times, rebooted computer and still nothing. when i restore the firmware and have everything reinstall all over again the apps music and such, all show up. however if i buy a new app and try to sync it with the itouch it does not show up despite the fact that the computer states 'installing "......" whatever app. it happens with numerous apps, there is no rhyme and reason to why certain apps just do not show up on the itouch. the authorize/deauthorize deal does nothing to rectify the situtaion. any other ideas ?

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
