Did you already check your securit software settings? iTunes has to contact Apple during the update process.

if you sync with outlook or another contact/mail/appointment app
and your friend also use that setup your friend will get all your stuff and your new phone will
get a merge of your stuff and all his stuff
better option is to use iCloud

I have a 3gs. I tried to update the ios today. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes is not recognizing. I also tried DFU mode, still nothing. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. Help.

I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.

No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

I was trying to update the software and it led me to restore the iphone, therefore telling me I am about to erase all of the iphone's data

I was trying to update my iphone's sofware and I was led to restore my iphone and now it says I am going to lose my data

I am trying to update the new OS however, I keep getting an error messaging saying to have my connectivity checked since it is not connected. I ran a diagnostics test and everything passed. Any ideas on how I can to make sure a connection is established?

I am trying to update the new OS system on my iPhone 4, however, when I connect to iTunes and try to download, I keep getting an error message that says the connection is not established. I ran a diagnostics test and everything passed, however, I'm not sure why I keep getting an error message when the software is at the end of downloading.
Any tips?

Disable your firewall/security software.

My iphone 3g does not work after updating the software through itunes

Some days ago I made a security copy of my iPhone 3G at iTunes. Today when I conected my iPhone to iTunes I had a message saying I had to update the software of my phone. I accepted and after around 30 minutes of update I got another message saying there had been a problem restarting my phone. The screen of my mobile was showing the iTunes icone and the USB icone and I can't access to the content of it. So I disconnected the mobile from iTunes and connected it again and I got another message saying iTunes has detected a mobile phone in recovering process and it says I have to restaure the iPhone to be able to use it in iTunes. And, by the way, before all this when I connected my phone to iTunes the iTunes recognized the name of my mobile. It doesn't anymore, it just says "iPhone" on the left column.
My question is: Should I restaure the iPhone? Will I be able to recover the security copy I made some days ago? Where can I access that copy?
Thank you so much in advance!

You're welcome.

When restoring the iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased first folllowed by the current iOS version being re-installed. After iOS is reinstalled, you are prompted to restore from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other available selection is to restore as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

TS3694 i have iphone 3gs,when i recovery and update the phone i have the message, the disk is full and i can't do anything please so me how to do it

Please so me how to restore the iphone 3gs when i hit recovery and update and I have the message,iphone could not be restored the disk you are attempting to use be full.removing files and empting the recycle bin files will free up additonal space.

That's an iTunes issue. It's telling you that the computer has too much data on it and you need to free space. It's trying to download the iOS 6 update before a restore but can't because the computer's hard drive is too full.
Go through and uninstall/delete items from the computer itself and it'll work. Or, try another computer.

My iphone is not activated after i tried to update the os?why?it is showing error?1602

my iphone is not responding
i just tried to update it from os 4.1 to 4.2

Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275. It states that error 1602 is generally a USB problem. Try an alternative USB port, or use one on the back of the computer rather than a hub.

I have iphone 3gs. i'm trying to update 4.3.5.when 85% complete. it gives a error 1015. Now My iphone is DFU mode. i'm unable to restore. whenever i trying to restore it gives error 1015.

What Can i do?

Not sure there's anything you can do. Your phone is likely permanently damaged from the jailbreaking.
In any case, jailbreaking violates Apple's warranty on the phone, and eliminates your ability to get help from Apple, including from this forum. Discussion of jailbroken phones is a violation of the Terms of Use of this forum.
You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for answers to your problem.
Best of luck.

I have the iphone 3GS and when I recently updated the software to 5.0, the phone has been slower and is messing up now, how do I fix this?

I have synced it several times and nothing changes. I'm afraid to restore it because last time it deleted everything on there, even when I updated it, Everything was deleted and I always back it up. But now the internet is slow and it just loads and loads and it froze a one point, I've turned it off then back on, still nothing.

There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given?
