I am on a new PC, want to update Iphone 3.1.3 to new OS

I am on a new PC, want to update Iphone 3.1.3 to new OS. Can I update the phone via this new PC without losing all the data on the phone.
The old PC is backed up and I need to reinstall os (major issues). I have not done this yet, but want to just update the phone to the new OS via a different PC.
When I connect the phone to the new pc it shows in the Itune window. Just wondering if I should click update to new os.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.<br />

No you don't need computer for Updating from current iOS 7.0.6 to iOS 7.1. You can do it OTA in Settings > General > Software Updates > Download and Install
You will need wi-fi connection to Apple servers.

Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod from backup as the article says your iPod will also be updated.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?

If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher.

Wanted to update the software now available, but it is asking for a pass code. As far as I remember in didn't put in any pass code , how do I settle this issue . Earlier updates were asking Apple ID but pass code for updating the new soft ware not known.

Hello Kewal,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update. I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4 or my iPad 1 because it keeps asking me over and over to agree to new terms, so I do that and it still does not work. Just around and around in a circle. I do not want to update software. I like what I have.

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

And, what about the "Content Protection" instruction? Do you have that enabled, and if so have you disabled it?
Otherwise, I can't find any relevant KBs...you can try searching to see if you have better luck. I have seen the error before, though it's been a while. As I recall, I had to use IE over any other PC browser or this error would present.

So, your BB is not connected to your WiFi. That's fine, as long as it has a good data connection via your carrier data network (e.g., email is coming in, you can otherwise browse with the BB Browser, BBM work, etc.). Oh, and you of course do have a full BB-level data plan? If not, AW will never work...like everything else, it's a service, requiring the user to subscribe to an adequate data plan to gain access to the service.
Good luck!

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch. My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5. But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost. Is there any solution for this?

try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
take a look at this from apple
