I'm currently running ios 4.2.8, and i want to upgrade to ios 5

iTunes is only giving me an option to upgrade to 4.2.10. Do i have to upgrade to 4.2.10 before i'm allowed to upgrade to ios5?

You need to have iTunes 10.5 installed to be able to put iOS5 onto your device.

    succes.
    I advise you to wait a little (except for the SL install) till after the first update of Lion, which is expected very soon. Also make sure that all apps that you want to run are Lion compatible.

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • I have an imac running on 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to 10.6

    I have an iMac running OS X leopard 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to OS X Lion. I know I have to upgrade to 10.6 Leopard first but I cant find it.
    Can someone pls send me the links for the upgrades I need to do in order to upgrade to OS X 10.7.2 Lion

    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Both Snow Leopard and Lion...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Lion Specs:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Snow Leopard
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    And then Purchase and Install Lion...

    For Lion, Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications Here:

    I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
    Many thanks

    Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
    Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta.

  • HT201301 How do I back-up my iPad if it is currently running iOS 4.3.3?

    How do I back-up my iPad if it is currently running iOS 4.3.3?  I have a back-up of my photos, but want to back-up apps, etc before updating to the latest iOS.
    When I connect my iPad to my computer with the latest version of ITunes, it doesn't give me the option to back-up my iPad. Also, since my iPad has an older iOS, iCloud is not installed.
    Thank you

    After you backup.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?

    My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?  Do I have to go to Settings>General>reset>Erase all content and settings before I can get the newer ios?  If this is the case, how can I ensure all my content is backed up prior to erasing it all. Is there anyway to check to ensure the backup is complete and comprehensive?  THanks!

    A second generation iPod touch can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version.

    I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME

    Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable.  Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup.  This happens every time a public release occurs.  Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

  • I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

    Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Yosemite from the Mac App Store.

  • HT4972 I've got an old IPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I want to upgrade to IOS 5 not 6 or 7. Is this possible?

    I've got an old IPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I want to upgrade to IOS 5 not 6 or 7. Is this possible?

    Apple only allows updating to the current version of iOS for the device.  For the iPhone4 and later that is currently iOS7.0.4.
    There is no reason to not upgrade to the current version.

  • HT4623 i already downloaded ios 7 beta 2 and i want to upgrade to ios 7

    i already downloaded ios 7 beta 2 and i want to upgrade to ios 7 original edition
    i upgrade itunes software to 11.1 but when i press check for updates it tell me that ios 7 is the current version
    please advice

    Okay... try this...
    Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try downloading again.
    If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • I am currently using iphone 5 and i want to upgrade my phone to ios7 i want to know is it necessary to keep backup of contacts?

    i am currently using iphone 5 and i want to upgrade my phone to ios7 i want to know if it is necessary to keep backup of contacts?

    As with every computing device, a backup is your ONLY insurance should anything ever go wrong with your device.
    Without a backup, if something does happen to go awry, you will loose whatever you have not backed up.
    So my response is, of course you need a backup.  You always need a backup, no matter what.
