I am trying to update my
IPhone 3GS to the new update ios5 and it has downloaded and its now stuck on the Backing up Iphone bit and its been there since 3:00pm today and still wont go away, I have stopped it once due to thinking the computer had frozen and restarted it and its gone and done the same and now i am going to leave it to go though the night to see if it will be done in the morning, Please please you know how to make this ****ing thing work TELL ME ! lol

are you able to see the apps on the home screen? If so, it's most likely an issue with your carrier
This is also an issue that can appear on devices that have been modified in an unauthorized manner (not judging, just saying)

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.

I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work now.

I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work. I started the download and it said that it had 6 hours remaining, so i just left it overnight. The next morning it was working fine, but the ios 6 didn't download. I looked at it later and it had the turning on screen with the loading bar under it. It stayed like that for a while and the bar didn't move. I needed to use my phone so I tried to make it go to the home screen, but nothing happened. I held down the lock and home button for a few seconds and everything went black. I tried to turn it back on and all it has done all day is stayed on the turning on screen. I tried plugging it into the wall, and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to iTunes, and nothing happened. I don't know what I need to do to get it to work.

OMG is working OMG OMG OMG Thanks alot dude!

Have been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the past few month but is not allowing me. The update icon is not showing on the screen. Help is need pls.

To update it all you need to do is connect the phone to iTunes and you can then update it.
If you are using anything less than iOS 5, then you can't update directly on your phone as this is not available and iOS 5 is the first OS where this option was available.

The picture is suggesting you plug your iPhone into iTunes on your computer using the USB cord.

I just tried to update my iphone 3GS to the OS 5.1.1 & it has frozen on the cord going toward the itunes logo. Despite turning it off numerous times. How do I fix the problem?

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.

I have updated my iPhone 4 for the IOS 5.0.1. Many problems appear !!!

I have updated my iPhone 4, as suggest by a message that appear in my scream. After that my iPhone is consuming the battery very fast, my e-mails are not auditing the messages any more, and my agenda has duplicate the informations. What can I do to solve this problens?

I have reset the iPhone, and installed the last backup in my iTunes... the problem persist.
My feeling is that the "update" to 5.0.1. got the functions worst, because before that the iPhone was doing great.

Hi _em24,
It sounds like you are having an issue with the upgrade to your iPhone’s version of iOS, a frustrating situation to be sure. Let’s see if we can get you back up and running.
For basic troubleshooting of upgrades, and assuming you are using iTunes to do it, I would suggest using the steps in this article -
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes

If not using iTunes or the above do not produce the desired result, use the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Read this: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
... oh I think it is a 3gs or a 3
This makes a difference. What does it say in Settings > General > About?

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?
