I lost my iphone so I purchased one from Craiglist, it isold. It is a 4.2.1 (8C148) and when I want to down load apps, it says I need iOS4.3 Can my old phone even be upgraded?

I don't even know if this can be upgraded to higher level software. When I try to download an app, it
states that I need iOS 4.3 but when I plug it into to my itunes it says that it is the right update. So do you
think that I have such an old phone it can't be upgraded to handle the newer apps like Shazam

Iphone 3g can only go to 4.2.1

My grandad has a 1st edition iPad and when he tries to download certain apps it says he needs at least iOS 5? Shouldn't this be updated automatically? Or can this be updated another way? I haven't been to see his iPad so he may not be looking properly???

The iOS version is not updated automatically, though if he connects it to his computer's iTunes (if it's a recent enough version) he should be prompted as to whether he wants to update.
He should connect the iPad to his computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to his computer via File > Transfer Purchases. He may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. He can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
He can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
His iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for the iPad 1, it doesn't support iOS 6).

I changed my id. When I want, now, update my apps I'm asked my pwd corresponding to my old id. I forgot this old pwd and can(t get it from apple. It seems the old id doesn(t exist anymore. What should I do?

J'ai changé mon id. Je veux mettre à jour mes appli mais on me demande le pwd de mon ancien id que j'ai oublié. Je ne peux pas le récupérer. Il semblerait que mon ancien id n'existe plus. que dois je faire?

Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

HT5622 I changed my apple id and password and when I go to update my apps it says my old apple id and it says my passwords wrong.....HELP?!

II changed my apple id and password and when I go to update my apps it says my old apple id and it says my passwords wrong.....HELP?!

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
Thus, it appears you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account.

You should do this to make this your iPhone and remove her info...
If desired, move photos/videos off the Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If desired, backup the device to iTunes or iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then, on the device...
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > (scroll down) Delete Accout (this only unregisters and deletes it off the device)
Settings > iTunes & App stores. Tap the AppleID and sign out.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Unregister the device at https://supportprofile.apple.com

I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion. The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot. Had the constant spinner on a grey screen.. did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck. Crashed my system one too many times. I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac. I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive. I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control. Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh? I use the hot corners anyhow. As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow. I don't like the new Mail either..
As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

Hi MrJavonte15,
If you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to take a look at the following article:
Apple Support: Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
If you have previously installed iTunes and continue to have issues, you may want to remove and reinstall iTunes:

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -

Upgraded 3g to ios 4.2 and lost 75% of my apps. when I down load solitary it says I need 4.3. how do I get an older version of solitary for ios .2 or later?

when I upgraded my 3G to ios 4.1 I lost most 75% of my apps. When I try to down load solitary from the app store I get a message that I need ios 4.2. I do not think I can upgrade to 4.2 on this old phone. How do I get my older apps back?

The iPhone 3G can be upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 but not iOS 4.3. If a given application is listed as requiring iOS 4.3 or newer, you'll need to load an older version of it from a computer with it if any.

Apple store switched my account from the French to the American location, where I am now. Whenever I want to download an app, it says that I must switch to the French store before purchasing. Does any one know how to do that? Thank you for your help

Hey everyone,
I moved from France to the US, and when ever I want to download new apps, it says: you must switch to your French account before purchasing. Does anyone know how to do that?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given that it's only 3 months old and was brand new, you are covered by warranty. You need to take it to whoever you bought it from as they are the servicer of your warranty.
Good luck!
