I am trying to update my phone 4 with my ipad3 any hints on how to solve?

I am trying to update the os on my iphone 4, i have the ipad3 but can't seem to find how to update my phone with it. Any suggestions?

You can't update the iPhone's OS on the iPad. ON THE iPHONE, check Settings > General > Software Update. If you don't see that, you need to connect to a computer with iTunes on it.

Are you sure you have a 3GS and not a 3G? The 3G cannot be updated to iOS5. What version are you on now?... Settings > General > About > Version

Try taking it to the nearest Apple Store. They should have computers there that they can use to get your iPhone out of recovery mode. Make an appointment first.

Press the Power button and hold it down until the computer turns off. Restart. Do you still get the same result? If so, then try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally. A safe mode startup takes considerably longer than a normal one, so don't panic. You will also see a progress bar at the beginning.

Hi ali hakim,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
iOS: Restore error 3194 or 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build'
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4451
This occurs when iTunes is unable to communicate with the update-and-restore server (gs.apple.com). This is most likely because it is being blocked, redirected, or interrupted by security software, hosts-file entries, or other third-party software.

HT201210 While trying to update my phone I get error that one photo is stopping whole process-this is just a short video? I've never had this problem before.

While trying to update my phone one photo is stopping the whole process and I've gone through all the online suggestions (check for updates,etc)

Verizon was having a problem on their end, perhaps a server down for some repair or updating. However you were already aware that there was an on-going problem in your own posting and you decided to continue on.I can understand you wanting this done and trying to save the $15.00 fee. However I would have waited a bit longer until the Verizon issue had been corrected. Yes it is frustrating but again you know in advance of a problem , I can understand that this is most upsetting for you but never try to perform any change when a problem is there and I also do not like to do business on a weekend with no live tech support available. I'm sure this will all work out for you if given some time. Sorry.
So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Then you will need to update to iOS 5.1.1 as outlined above. A word of caution before updating: be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing with a supported program such as Outlook, to an online service such as Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup). Failure to do so risks losing your data.
Syncing an iPhone 4 requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
You will first need to meet these system requirements in order to sync (and update) your phone.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
-If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Start with a reset
Hold home and power buttons down simultaneously for 15-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo appear.
This will not affect your data.
