HT4972 i have a iphone 3gs and i want to update my IOS but havent got software update on my settings?
can anyone please help me to update the OIS on my iphone?
The ability to update from the iphone itself is only available with iod 5 and above.
As you have ios 4, you will hae to update as always.
Turn on computer.
Open itunes
Connect iphone
From teh article you linked from:
If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync
You may see the following iTunes message:
Follow these recommended steps before updating your iOS device:
Transfer purchases3 to your computer.
Back up your device by syncing it with your Mac or PC first."

I have an iPhone 3GS. I want to update to iOS 4.2.1. In settings, general, I do not have a software update option. What to do?
You won't see this until you update to iOS 5. You'll have to update using iTunes by going to the Summary tab of your sync settings and clicking on Check for Update (you will probably be prompted that there is an update available when you connect your phone and open iTunes).

I have a iphone 3gs and i want to update to 5.0
I want to update to the new 5.0 and when I check for updates when I connect to iTunes it says that I have the most recent update which is 4.2.1. How can I update my phone. I have a iPhone 3G.
Sorry, iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone. You cannot update your iOS any further.

hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?
Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.

I have ipad 1 . And i want to update it from ios 4.3.5 to ios 7 but i can't why ?? Please help me becouse i can't download apps from app store !!!!!
I would suggust:
1 to create a big camera for i pads and ipods and iphones so we can put it in another ipad or ipod or iphone and it has a zoom lens
2 when i downloaded photos and music from a computer to my ipad , i cant delete them now plese do the itunes like samsung becuz samsung have an easier way to download thing from computer
I hope to help me with my poblome and fix it please !!??
And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
Apple the best
H.MThe iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality. -
Hi there,
My partner owns an iphone 3gs, and was working fine yesterday, but now it doesnt want to work, as it is stuck on the new software update. How do i get passed this? I have tried plugging it into my computer as it was saying, connect to itunes. Did not seem to work.
Sincerly,
FaithYour headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is. -

I have synced it several times and nothing changes. I'm afraid to restore it because last time it deleted everything on there, even when I updated it, Everything was deleted and I always back it up. But now the internet is slow and it just loads and loads and it froze a one point, I've turned it off then back on, still nothing.
There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given? -
I also heard it may have to do with my ios version being newer than itunes? I don't know how to find what version I am using either? Thanks for any help!!!
In case this helps, the error message I get when trying to uninstall itunes says " the feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable" then is tells me to click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing install package 'itunes.msi', then there is a drop down box and it gives me to places to search beginning with C:....and neither of them work.
