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).
Regards.

Hello,
You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

How to download and install ios 8.3 on iphone by using cellular data

HI

Hi If you don't have WiFi at home go to a cafe or shopping center where they have free Wifi or an Apple shop. Cheers Brian

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.

HT1766 I backed up my iphone 3GS using itunes 10. on 27/12 and today 29/12 and would like to restore using 27/12 backup but cannot see option to choose that backup nor can I now see that backup.

I backed my iphone 3GS on 27/12 and did a synchronization today with itunes 10.. which automatically did a backup prior to carrying out the synch. I have just realised that I have lost my music as my music setting is defaulting to "selected playlist, artists, albums, and genres" and I am trying to restore using the backup I carried out on 27/12 but cannot see the option to choose that backup. When I right-click the device and choose restore from backup, there are two iphone names - admin iphone and admin iphone 29th Dec 11:14 and statement underneath - Last backed up today 11:34.
To restore I selected admin iphone and restore - should I have selected admin iphone 29th Dec?
Where can I find the backup I carried out on 27th and how can I use it to restore to it?

Thanks for the info. No problem as I can sync my music to my iphone anyway - it is still available on my music library on itunes - did not want to sync entire library as it is massive now and for my ipod classic.
Other question - is it safe to update my iphone software to version 6.0.1 which keeps being prompted each time I connect my jailbroken 3GS iphone on itunes. I cannot install nor update a number of apps such as whats app, some games which I used to have on my iphone as each time I try to update or re-install, I am informed that I need IOS 4.3 or above.
thanks

IPhone 4 from iPhone 3gs Using iTunes

have purchased the iphone 4 and about to register it with my itunes account that had my 3GS on, Will this erase my current music etc?

Are you certain you have an iPhone 3GS? You might try Settings > General > About > Model and post the result.
Has the iPhone ever been jailbroken or hacked?

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

I bought iPhone 3GS(Used) recently and updated ios 6.1.3 my iPhone is taking blurry Pictures through basic default Cam app.Can anybody please let me know any solution for this?

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

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

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!
