I have downloaded ios 6 but my iphone 3gs is doing nothing. IT WILL not activate help!

my iphone 3gs will not activate following an ios 6 update? Itunes will not recognise it either, any ideas??

Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect.

Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:

HT4623 after updating iphone 3gs to latest software phone will not activate

Since you didn't provide any details or what the error message is:
I'll assume that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier and when you updated it locked back up to the original carrier.

Hello Apple_Addict22,
Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1. First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

If you continue to get the message that iTunes is up to date, you can download the latest version of iTunes here:
Download iTunes

Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.
Best,

are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

I just downloaded OS 5 for my iPhone 3GS and now my events will sync from my iCal 4.0.4 to my phone but not from my phone calender to my iCal.

Ok, so I downloaded OS 5 to my iPhone 3GS about a week ago and I was trying to figure out iCloud, but then I realized my computer, an older MacBook, is only running 10.6.8 so it can't work with iCloud. So I've deactivated most of the syncing options for iCloud on my phone, but now when I sync my phone with my computer the events from my iCal, 4.0.4, sync to my phone, but the events on my phone will not show up in my iCal.

I've had the same basic problem ever since I purchased the iPhone 4 and enabled iCloud. If I create an event on the phone the event does not show up in iCal, but if I create an event in iCal it shows up on the phone. I have looked at several other threads and it seems I have all the calendar options correctly selected in the settings under calendar and iCloud. What's just as strange is that if I delete the event on my phone that I created in iCal it remains in iCal. I don't use mobileme so I know that isn't part of the problem. Should I turn off calendars in the iCloud settings menu on the phone? Is there another sync menu I dont know about on the phone or within iCal?

Downloaded iOS 6 onto my iPhone 3GS. Can't download new apps but I can update apps??

Since updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 yesterday I haven't been able to download new apps. I can still update apps, but when I try downloading a new app I put in my password when prompted, it says installing for a few moments and the loading bar appears. But it never starts to load (no blue in the install bar) and then just stops and the app is displaying as if I've never installed it. Anyone else had this and does anykne know how to fix it?
Thanks

If you're using an iPhone 4 as it says in your profile, you're not supposed to have Siri after updating to iOS6

Downloaded iOS 6 to my iphone 3gs it powers on and then crashes

Downloaded iOS6 on my iphone 3gs and it fully downloaded but when it rebooted it kept powering on giving the Apple logo, but then it flickers and turns off

I've used the 'self' updater (not used iTunes) and it does pretty much what you describe.

Contact the carrier to which it was locked before it was hacked, and enquire if they will unlock it. Not all carriers offer unlocking and those that do usually have requirements such as that you are a current or former customer in good standing.
