HT5457 i want to download ios 5 to my iphone 3

how do you download ios 5 to a iphone 3? whent i go to settings, software update does not show up ?

Alas, I think you will find that iPhone 3 hardware is incompatible with any IOS software graeter than about 4.2 or 4.3.
It still makes a great phone but nearly have apps have migrated to IOS 5 or 6.
Cheers

    OK, but if you do want to try iTunes, you just hook up your iPhone to your PC or Mac like you were going to sync it, and it will tell you that there is an update for your phone when you initiate the sync.
    Otherwise, best of luck! Hope it all gets sorted out quickly!!!

  • ITunes 10.5 keep downloading IOS 5 onto my iPhone 4GS

    Why does iTunes 10.5 keep downloading IOS 5 onto my iPhone 4GS, when it already has IOS 5 as a default on the phone?
    I clicked "Check for Update" and it says that my iPhone IOS is update to date. However, when I try to do a restore, iTunes will contact the iPhone server and download IOS 5.
    What gives? Is there a way to do a restore on my iPhone without having to download IOS 5?
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Restore has always worked that way, even in versions before iOS 5. It never keeps the OS file (it's a pretty big file because it's an operating system, so why would you want that to stay on your computer and take up space?) so it always has to download it again, whenever you want to restore your iPod.
    Nothing to worry about.

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.

  • Downloaded iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and cant connect to airport utility.  speakers still work wirelessly from computer so i know it isnt the wiifii connection.  shows everything is connected but when i play a song on itunes the icon doesnt show up for airpor

    I downloaded ios 7 on my iphone 4s and cant play itunes from my iphone to my speakers through airport utility.  it shows im connected thro wifii.  i can play the speakers wirelessly from itunes on my computer so i know its my phone since ios 7 downloaded.  even the icons on the song that turn on the speakers are missing.  what do i have to do to get it back?  Ive deleted airport utility and reinstalled it.  i shutdown my phone and the airport base and wifii and restarted everything.  nothing seems to b helping.

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. Now were can i go to paste all 400 of them and get them back ?

    I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. The only place I can seem to be able to paste and see them is while making a new message in gmail and then when i tried to send them the message comes back blank and looks like below. what can i do to retrieve them?

    As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

  • I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me.  Anyone else having the same problem?

    I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me.  Anyone else having the same problem or know how to fix this? 

    The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
    Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
    Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
    What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

    FYI downgrading is not supported by Apple which is why you don't readily see information on how to do so.
    If you have indeed done everything in the article mentioned.
    Disconnect device, take screen shot on device, and attempt again
    - also make sure if you have parallels are disabled while testing.

    Hello Apple_Addict22,
    Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1.  First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.
