I am trying to update my iPhone 3gs. Every time the download is complete, the connection "times out". Can somebody help me please?
My connection times out everytime the installation for the software update is complete. I have tried multiple times ans still the same thing happens. Can somebosy help me please?
Yes it does matter whether you're doing an update or an upgrade. To find out which, under the Apple menu, select About this Mac. It will tell you which OS you currently have installed. Since it didn't come originally with OS 10.9, if About this Mac says it's 10.7.X or 10.8.X, you'll need to go to the Apple App Store program and download Mavericks (which is Mac OS X 10.9) and run the installer. If it does say you have 10.9, see if it says 10.9.1, since you might have Software Update set to install updates automatically. Otherwise, are you running Software Update and that's when the circle is spinning constantly?
BTW, are you sure you want to upgrade to Mavericks (if that's what you're doing)? Check on the Mavericks forum to see the problems users are having with it.

I'm trying to update my iphone 3GS to the 4.3.4 version and I am getting the error message "This version of itunes (version 9.1.1) is the current version. How do I update my PHONE and why is an itunes update being confused for my iphone?
You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!
If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios. -
In trying to update my iPhone 3Gs from v. 3.13, it apparently downloaded the upgrade, but got stuck during the backup. It backed up for over an hour, and now the green bar in the Backup window is now colorless and is showing no movement. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link. This is probably a frequently asked question, so I'm sorry but I'm new to this.
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
You have iOS 4... See Here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
OR...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
