I own an iPhone 3g and it will not let me update to iOS 5... why?
Anyone know anything about this? :s Please help!
iPhone 3G can only update to IOS 4.2.1
because the hardware is not up to task.
iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S can update to the latest 5.0.1.

Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work
Define "won't work"...
You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.

I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased in 2009 (It doesn't have a SD card slot, but is an aluminum body). Right now it's using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further, which means that I cannot install any new versions of iTunes or some other programs. How can I fix this?

You can't upgrade beyond 10.5.8, that is the final step for Leopard.
You can purchase Snow Leopard (10.6.x) from Apple (but you should have 2G of Ram installed, and sufficient hard drive space). Your Mac is fully capable of running Snow Leopard and will probably already meet the specs I mentioned. -
I have an older version of iTunes on my office computer and it will not allow me to upgrade to the newer version without an administrative password. How can I get around this???
If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing! -

Having updated my Apple ID and password I find I am unable to update the iCloud and Apple ID on the iPad. Why is this not possible ?
What happens when you try ? If you've updated the primary email address on your account then log out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud : Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and log back in with the updated version.

When I tried to update from my PC this came up:
"Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and
media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your
iPad. To preserve your content, apply this update on
the computer where you sync your apps, music, videos,
and photos."
I don't understand because this is the only computer I use iTunes for my ipad.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I own a Toshiba and it will not let me update my Apple software. What can I do?
Every time I turn my PC on it prompts me to do an Apple Software update. I go through the motions and right before it is about to finish it says error occurred. If the problem persists please go to Tools and download it manually (which I have already tried of course). Please help!
