An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not be detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..
You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1. -
i have an iphone 4 with 4.3.2 version, want to upgrade but my phone is not getting detected on my comp on itunes. i want to upgrade it to the latest version of the software, please help
If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US is the article to use if you want to concentrate on trying to get a particular computer to recognize your phone -
If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11. iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can't upgrade without more RAM.

HT201274 Erase all settings and content
If I erase all settings and content on my iPhone, and it's connected to iCloud, will it erase everything on my other devices as well?
It will erase your iCloud account so any changes shouldn't be reflected in iCloud. But to be safe, just go to settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account before erasing the phone. (This deletes the account from the phone only.)

Erase all settings and content
How do I erase all settings and content if I forgot my pass code ?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPodvia iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Or
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased. -

iOS 5.0.1 has been out for a couple months, if not longer.
There was no delay in releasing it in any country.
So what is your issue? -
I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?
You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

Hi! I have erased all settings and connections of my ipad 1 generation by mistake and I tried many times to restore all settings and connections by connecting to iTunes but Itunes did not show me a column to restore my ipad, can someone teach me the step by stepto restore settings after connecting to iTunes, thank you!
If you have a backup of the iPad on your computer then you should be able to right-click (command-click on a Mac) the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and select 'restore from backup' on the pop-up - you can't just restore settings though, you will need to restore the whole iPad.

When I create an event on my mac ical then sync to my iphone, I cannot later edit the event via my iphone. I used to be able to do this before. Can someone please tell me why this option does not exist anymore? I have iphone 3Gs and can't use iCloud due to older running system on my macbook pro.

Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card. -
Erase all settings and contents
how long should it takes to erase all settings and contents on my 64 gb???it's been 1 hour HELP PLEASE i used 33 gb of 64gb
Something has gone wrong, on an iPhone 4S the erase all operation should be almost instantaneous.
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new". -
I have a 3GS and since I did the IOS6 update my phone won't send pictures via text message. Anyone know how to fix this?
Do you have the Onavo app installed? If so, try removing it.
1. Go to your Settings app -> General -> Profiles
2. Locate the profile called "Onavo"
3. Tap Remove
4. Go back to your home screen and delete the Onavo Extend icon -

I have a 3GS and updated by mistake to IOS6, now my phone keeps restarting but doesn't do a thing.
I have a 3GS and updated by mistake to IOS6, now my phone keeps restarting but doesn't do a thing. It says update completed and I only have few more steps. It connects to Itunes and restart again before I can do anything. Any solutions?
ThanksTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
