I cant download the ios 5 upgrade

i have tried so many times to upgrade to ios 5 but i cant do it.

The iPhone 3G cannot be updated to iOS 5. The latest is 4.2.1. You need an iPhone 3GS, 4 or 4S to support iOS 5. The iPhone 3G cannot be updated because its hardware cannot support the latest OS.

  • HT1695 i downloaded the IOS software upgrade and can no longer connect to any WiFi network, what can I do to fix this?

    I have attempted to reset the network settings, nothing changed.  The wireless router is working and has nothing wrong with it.  Ever since I downloaded the software update, WiFi connection can not happen and every time I try to do anything that uses the internet it directs me to the apple support site.  How can this be resolved?    

    I've tried the following:
    * Settings | General | Reset | Reset Network Settings (Twice)
    * Settings | General | Reset | Reset All Settings (Once)
    * Plugging it in and doing a "Restore" through iTunes (that's how I downloaded iOS 5.1.1 in the first place)
    All the passcodes and restrictions are are turned off.
    When I first try to connect to the network, I'm prompted to enter my username and password (I've elected to "forget" the network a few times so I can get this screen again). If I enter it wrong, then I just get an error that I'm not connected. When I enter it right, I get a warning that the certificate is "not verified". When I click on "More Details", I can see all the information that got pulled from the network (Issuer Name, Signature Algorithm, Public Key Algorithm, Key Usage, etc.). When I choose to "Accept", I get the little icon indicating that it's trying to connect...this never goes away (I let it run for an hour).
    The encryption type on the main Wifi I'm trying to connect to says it's RSA (I'm guessing it's WEP though...I didn't set it up, our IT group did that).

  • HT1414 after downloading the ios 7 upgrade my phoe asked me for a passcode but i didnt put one and i do not know what the passcode is what do i do?

    My phone got locked even though i didnt put a passcode on it what can i do to unlock it?

    Hi I am not at the setup stage once the soft wear was updated I was never able to enter into my I pad due to the pass code needing to be entered.

  • HT5503 Every time I try to download the iOS 6 update on my iPhone 4 it tells me there us an error ????

    Every time I try to download the iOS 6 upgrade it just tells me there is an error idk why I've tried almost everything I could think of

    Try these steps:
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
    See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • HT4623 I have an iphone 4s. I tried to download the iOs 7 but it said that it had a error and couldn't download. I have a lot of space available to do the upgrade. Do you know whta it is?

    I have an iphone 4s. I tried to download the iOS 7 but it couldn't download because it said it was an error. I have plenty of space to download the upgrade. Do you know what it is?

    Keep trying or maybe try again later.  There are millions of people who are currently trying to do the same thing you're doing.  Just be patient and you will be able to update, this happens on launch day.  Just curious.....what was the error

    If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online.  If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.

  • Cant download the Recovery Upgrade.

    I cant download the Recovery Upgrade because something is wrong with my internet (im sure my internet is okay) and i need it really bad because i cant use my ipod because its in recovery mode and i cant charge it because itunes cant reconize my ipod, do i need the upgrade or is it something else?
    p.s. when i try to download it, it stops when i need the last 100kb and the error code is = -3259.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    What web browser have you been using to do the download? If it's IE, do you have any better luck if you use Firefox (or vice versa)?

  • My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    Even a four-year-old MacBook should have come with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Leopard can run the latest version of iTunes; it will download and install pretty much automatically if you run Software Update.
    You might first have to be sure that you are running the latest version of Leopard, which is 10.5.8. This, too, will download and install for you if you run Software Update. Just keep running Software Update until there is nothing left to download and install (you might have to run it more than once because some updates require previous updates to be installed first).
    If you have a version of Mac OS X earlier than 10.5, then you can't run the latest version of iTunes. You will need to buy a more recent version of Mac OS X. You must be running at least 10.4 Tiger, and you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for about $30 and you might find it slightly less at a retailer or on eBay. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, you will be able to upgrade to Lion using the Mac App Store for another $30 or so if your MacBook meets the minimum system requirements.

  • I'm trying to download the iphoto library upgrader but cant

    Hi, downloaded Yosemite 10.10.2, tried opening my iphoto, said I need to prepare library and need to download the iphoto library upgrader.  Everytime I try to down it, it starts then cancels out and comes up as an error?Not sure what to do next!!!!

    Do the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.
