HT4972 i got iphone4 with 4.3.5 version n there is no software update optoin showing up.i m really upset n confused what to do?pls help

hello ,i bought an iphone4 from uk .the version is 4.3.5 (8L1).i want to update my phone to ios5 or ios6 but in my phone there is no option coming up in settings like they do in ios5 for software update.i got itunes 10.7 on ma computer.plz help n guide me to do what is right.

The over the air option was not added until iOS 5. Since you are not running that version you will have to update the old fashioned way by connecting to your computer and in iTunes clicking on Update.

  • HT4972 I have an iphone 4s and it's telling me that there is a software update available to iOS 6.  When I got to "settings" on my phone, the "download and install" tab is not highlited and I can't click on it to get the update.

    I have an iphone 4s.  I have an alert that there is a software update available to iOS 6.  When I got to the settings tab, the "download and install" button is not highlited and I can't click on it.  Below that, it says that this update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download.  So I connected my phone to my computer and tried to update throug itunes.  When I clicked the update tab on itunes on my laptop, an alert pops up that says I need to be connected to the internet for th update to take place.  I am confused because I am connected to the internet, but for some reason the connection is not being recognized when I try to update.
    I am using a Gateway laptop and my internet connection is a verizon 4g device that I plug into a USB port.  I feel like this should be so simple but have not been able to figure it out even when I called Apple and spoke to a rep...help!

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

    You have to hook it up to a computer and update it to ios 5 and then there will be a "software update" button.

  • Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous compture and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

    This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new windows installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • When i open itunes the warning itunes Library.itl appears with the following message. ..."it cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. after checking software updates we have the lastest version.  What to do?

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

    Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

  • I have an iPhone4 there's an software update ios6.1.3.  How do I update this software.

    I have an iPhone4, there's an software update ios6.1.3 which is requesting me to update on my phone.  It seems there are not enough space on my phone.  How do I update this software on my phone.

    You will need to delete some apps/pics/message, to have enough room to update.
    Then you can update over the air or thru itunes.

  • Hi there can anyone help as i am unable to contact Apple for support with my printer which will not print after recent software update? this is the email i tried to send to apple with no success, can anyone help please.......Dear Apple, I'm pulling my hai

    Hi there,
    Can anyone out there help, after a recent Apple software update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will no longer print, every other aspect of the printer works fine including the scanner but it just will not print, I sent an email to apple but all i got was an automated reply directing me to their support page, the email i sent is below this explains in full what the problem is & what i have done to try & fix this problem.
    Dear Apple,
    I'm pulling my hair out after a recent software update from apple, since this update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will not print, every other function of the printer including the scanner works fine,
    Please see attached file of the error message coming up in the print queue.
    I have spent days trying to fix this, i have been onto Epsons website & followed their resolution for this error message to no avail, after contacting them again with the results i got an email back saying : In response to your email, the RX640 will use an inbox or gutenprint driver on Mac OS X 10.6.8, it is not compatible with an Epson driver.
    I have also tried re-installing drivers from original Discs for the printer but it still will not print, obviously this error has been caused by Apple's latest software update, when are Apple going to fix this problem? i need my printer working ASAP.
    Regards
    Brian
    PS i obviously can't attach the error message so here it is:    Error:/Library/Printer/Epson/inkjetprinter 2/filter/rastertoescpll.app/contents/mac os/rastertoescpll/failed
    Thank You all in advance
    Regards
    Brian

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • I reinstalled my computer because it was too slow, and Safary icon has a ? question mark on it in the dock, i  pulled it out with the hope that  i can bring it back from the application, but the icon could not be found in the application. Pls help me.

    Could you pls help me? i reinstalled my computer and the Safari Icon has a ? mark on it in the dock, I pulled it out and it disappeared, I checked for this icon in the application folder but couldnt find it there.  So for me to go on Internet i have to open Firefox first. 2. The message Java Plug in has been disable appeared immediatle after the reinstallation. I need help from the community pls.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
