    Can someone please just help me figure out how to update this stupid phone(iPhone 4)without losing anything? I somehow have more than one Apple ID on this,but I just want my music and my pictures to stay and I'm terrified of losing these things. I have a lot of music from old CDs on here,and for some reason I can't even transfer them manually onto my computer. I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

  • How to update my new phone number after my U-verse phone service is disconnected?

    How to update my new phone number for forwarding  after my U-verse phone service is cancelled/ disconnected?

    I did call them. They said once the phone service is disconnected, there's nothing they can do about it. The thing is that when I called them to cancel the U-verse service yesterday, they did not offer me the opportunity to update the new phone #. This is so frustrating!

  • HT4972 why my iphone 3g is very hard to update??? please give me ways on how to update... my current version is ios 4.2.1

    why my iphone 3g is very hard to update??? please give me ways on how to update... my current version is ios 4.2.1

    An iPhone 3g cannot be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.  That is the final iOS release for the 3g.  You would need to purchase a newer iPhone if you want to run any higher iOS release.
    An iPhone 3Gs can run up to iOS 6.1.3 but not beyond that.
    An iPhone 4 would be the minimum older model to be able to run the current iOS 7.0.4

    Try to restart or - if necessary - to restore the iPhone: 
    See this document:  iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    Disable your Firewall and Antivirus software - it may be blocking the access to the server. Wait a day, maybe the server is down.
    If your iPhone cannot be activated, because it has been modified, we cannot help, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • How to update my i-Phone 4?

    Hello Apple friends,
    My i-Phone 4 has never had any updates untill my apps didn't want to open anymore.
    I tried to install iOS6 with i-Tunes and I downloaded the latest version of i-Tunes 10.7.0.21.
    If I plug my i-Phone to my computer it asks me if I would like the update and I say yes and then it starts downloading.
    No matter what I try, the new update won't install on my i-Phone. I already lost all my apps because I didn't do the right back-up.
    I can't get any apps because my version is too old, it went back to the original settings.
    Can anybody please help me out?
    Thanks a lot!! - Dominique

  • After updating my i phone to the latest ios 7.0 software the apps I purchased are still accessible through the app store but not on the home screen how do i get them back

    After updating my iphone 4s to the latest ios version 7 the apps that i purchased are no longer on the home screen and can only be found on the app store.. how can i get them back on the home screen? please help

    You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

  • IOS 5.1.1 update wrecked my phone, can anybody please help?

    Hi there,
    I plugged in my iPhone 4S into iTunes, and it tells me that there is an update (iOS 5.1.1)
    I click update, it downloads the file and away it goes. I left the computer as this happened, it automatically went to install and when I came back there was an error message. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it said, but what has happened is that the USB cable and iTunes symbol shows on my screen whenever I turn it on (telling me to plug it into my PC). However, iTunes doesn't recognise my phone. Neither does my computer, although it plays the USB sound when I insert/eject my iPhone.
    I called apple support and they were of no use, I've read several articles that involved uninstalling all apple programs and starting a fresh all to still be without a phone.
    I am at my wits end and most definitely need my phone, so I hope that somebody can please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible!

    I know that Apple doesn't read these, that was just a way of trying to say that I see on this and other forums that lots of people are having trouble.  Yes, I tried the restore and also the turning off firewall/anti-virus.  Didn't work.
    I finally fixed the problem and learned a lot in the process, especially in talking to some of the guys at the Apple store near where I live.  So here are my recommendations to anyone with this problem:
    (All this assumes you have a real iPhone/iPad and not a jailbroken one.  If you don't have a legit one, forget about fixing it.  Every software update is designed to cause problems for jailbroken phones).
    First, if you haven't downloaded 5.1.1 yet, and want to avoid the problems, don't do it through iTunes on a Windows machine.  Apple pretty much knows that there are a large number of problems that can occur and they try to help you trouble shoot a lot of them.  But once your install through iTunes on a Windows machine is corrupted, you might have a lot of trouble getting things to work again.  You should download 5.1.1 because of the security upgrades.  If you can download it direclty on your iPhone/iPad that should work without a problem.  If you can connect to WiFi you should, especially if you don't have an unlimited data plan.  If you are on a metered data plan you should never download software updates through your phone connection, only though WiFI or on your iTunes. 
    By all means try the hard reset approach described above.  I did multiple times and it didn't work, but if it can work for you, do it. 
    Here is another way to do it.  If you have another computer available, download iTunes on that computer and connect the device to that computer.  Do a hard reset.  The other computer's iTunes will recognize the device as just an iphone/iPad.  Then wipe the iphone clean and do an install of the updated OS.  (This assumes that you have backed up your iPhone recently to your computer or iCloud. If you haven't or don't, you will lose a lot of your data, photos, etc.)   Wiping the device and installing the new OS will delete everything on your phone.  After this, then connect it back to your first computer, and iTunes should recognize it.  Then restore from your backup. 
    Of course, if you don't want to hassle with any of this just make an appointment at the nearest Apple store and they will fix it for free. They can wipe your phone and then you just restore from a backup. 
    What the original poster described is what happens when his phone enters "recovery mode."  This often becomes very hard to recover from on the same computer which caused the faulty install. 
    Also, if you do try to uninstall and reinstall itunes, make sure you do it exactly in the order described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923  If you don't it won't work. 
    Good luck

  • I have App Store 1.0. MacUpdate Desktop tells me there is a new version 1.0.1. How do I update App Store. MU only takes me directly to App Store. Not much help there, as I don't find how to update the App Store itself. Please write me at guki@broadpark.no

    Thank you for your advice.
    Actually, I am aware that the upgrade is implemented in 10.6.7. However, up until now I haven't been able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.7, as I have software that is not yet compatible. So I wondered how to do it within 10.6.6? May be it is not possible? Anyway, this gave me a push to track the software I use for compatibility, and I found that an update for 10.6.7 now is ready for download, so then I will probably solve two issues at the same time. Takes a little work though. Thank you again for your advice.

  • How to update iPod touch 4 Gen to current IOS? It is 3 years old and won't update past IOS 4.2.1.

    I had to restore my iPod when I bought a new computer and it won't update the IOS. iTunes tells me it is up-to-date, but all the apps say I need IOS 5. How can I update this? Thanks

    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.
    Update to IOS 5 or higher

  • Should I update my older phone and sync with ios 5 prior to doing a restore?

    Should I update my older phone and sync with the new ios 5 prior to doing a restore to my new iPhone 5?  Is that necessary?

    Well...the answer is no.  You can't downgrade the iOS, but it will update.  I just kept the backup from the older version and did a restore with the Iphone 4S and it worked fine.
