Install IOS 5.1 on iphone 3GS

Hello
I would like to install IOS 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS. But itunes only proposes to install IOS 6 which I do not want.
Does anyone know how this can be done??
Thanks,
Olivia, Paris, France

The only option when upgrading an iOS device is to install the current version.

Installing iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1

I'm trying to instal iOS 4.1 on an iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1 with no luck, it seems. When I follow the instructions as per the Apple website I just get a message saying "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version". Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here. Also, I cannot update to iTunes 10 as I am running OSX 10.4.11 and I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5. I'm hoping that I am not stuck in a corner with this one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5.
Someone else can probably assist with the 4.1 installation issue, but you can indeed install Mac OS X 10.5.x on your iMac G5. It's 10.6, Snow Leopard, that requires an Intel-based Mac. Mac OS X 10.5 is getting a bit hard to find, but it's possible that the Apple Store will still have copies if you call them. 10.5 is not on their web site, but they still had copies of 10.4 long after 10.5 was released, so it's worth a try. If not, a dealer may still have copies, or you may be able to find a retail copy of 10.5 from another user who upgraded to Snow Leopard on a site like eBay (caution: make sure you get the retail, black-label, disk, not the system disk that shipped with another model of Mac).

IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

Bonjour Pierre,

How can i install google maps on an iphone 3gs with latest os

how can i install google maps on an iphone 3gs with latest os

Actually Apple has developed its own maps and no more have it in sync with google as it did before so now apple has its own mapping software.

HT4623 How can I retrieve my Contacts that I lost after updating iOs 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi?

I lost all my Contacts after updating iOS 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi. All my other apps, Notes, Photos, etc are as it is but none of my Contacts appear. I also signed up to iCloud during the update but can't find Contacts on iClouds. Pls help!

It is strange people experience this problem only with Contacts because normally contacts are backed up with Notes and Photos and that stuff. If you are willing to do a do-over, you can try to backup, restore, and put your data back on again and see if anything new appears. You never know if some file clould have had some kind of conflict because iOS 6 was being installed while data was being restored at the same time.

After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen.) will no longer sync with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck.

After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen) stopped syncing with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck. Has anybody experienced this problem?

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.
iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!

In iOS 5 on the iphone 3gs, how does one disable voice control, not voice dailing. I have never wanted or used voice control please help me disable it.

are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there
