I have an iphone 4 and am trying to update to ios 5 but takes forever!
I am trying for the nth time now. After 2 hours and a bit it has only completed less than 10% of back. I have updated itunes and don't have much on my phone. Is this normal?
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP!
10% of backup.
This sounds like you may have alot of data or photos in your camera roll.
You could manually copy these out using windows explorer on a PC, or import and remove them from the iphone with iPhoto on a mac.
Once you have done that it should decrease the amount of time for a backup to be made.
Also check your using a usb 2 usb port otherwise it will be much slower than usual.

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

I have an iphone 4S and stupidly let it update to iOs 7 and now I cant get wifi or bluetooth. Anyone know how I can get back the previous update when my iphone was working perfectly?
Your WiFi/Bluetooth chip has failed. Bring the phone (and $199 if outside the warranty period) to Apple for replaceement.

I have an iPhone 3GS. I want to update to iOS 4.2.1. In settings, general, I do not have a software update option. What to do?
You won't see this until you update to iOS 5. You'll have to update using iTunes by going to the Summary tab of your sync settings and clicking on Check for Update (you will probably be prompted that there is an update available when you connect your phone and open iTunes).

can anyone please help me to update the OIS on my iphone?
The ability to update from the iphone itself is only available with iod 5 and above.
As you have ios 4, you will hae to update as always.
Turn on computer.
Open itunes

You may see the following iTunes message:

I have a macbook pro, and am trying to update my software. I recently bought an iphone 5, and my software is to out of date to sync my phone with itunes. I currently am running 10.5.8 and I need to update to atleast 10.6.8. Just wondering if I need to purchase it from apple or if there is an easy/free way to update it.
you need to purchase it: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It is only on a disk, not in download form.

i have an iphone 3 and im trying to download apps but it wont let me says i need 4.4 or later but my itunes is on 11
It's not referencing your iTunes version. It's referencing your device's iOS version. An iPhone 3G has a maximum iOS of 4.2.1. If an app requires an iOS higher than that, it will not work on your iPhone 3G.

I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing. -

I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?
I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.
If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.
