IOS 4.2 for iPhone 4 the iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone 3GS

Ok so i updated my 3GS first and it says 4.2.1...which didnt realy bother me since this is the new version with the fix that caused the 4.2 delay...
But then i updated the 4 after wards and its saying 4.2...
Wierd...So the 3GS has the fix but never realy an issue with the 4?

Ok just verified that they are both 4.2.1...whats wierd is when i updated the 3GS it said it will update to 4.2.1...when i updated the 4 it said it will update to 4.2...but when you go look at settings>about they show 4.2.1

My iPhone 3GS (working on iOS 6.1.3) has not backed up to iCloud for the past 10 weeks.

My iPhone 3GS (working on iOS 6.1.3) has not backed up to iCloud for the past 10 weeks. And whenever I try Backing up to iTunes or to iCloud via either a pc or a Mac, I get the message: "Itunes could not backup the iPhone because an error occured". I tried turning off all apps for backup, but that did not help. I tried deleting all the photos and that did not help either. I tried the backup trobelshooting and I have tried using different computers. I'm completely stomped.

Hi ShakedG,
I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to, but I just wanted to make sure that you had seen the following article:

What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update

What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update or is it iOS 6.1.3 and no more

The 3GS is not listed in the supported list for iOS7. Unless Apple comes out with a major bug fix, 6.1.3 will likely be the last update for it.

Just a quick update with a couple more details before I go to work:
I left my phone plugged into the wall charger all night long but the Apple logo is still blinking on and off. However, when unplugged from the charger, the screen goes blank and the unit does not respond to pressing/holding the buttons at all. Likewise, flipping the mute switch does not cause the phone to vibrate as it normally would, which made me wonder if power was being disrupted somewhere else in the unit before the battery. I just finished disassembling the unit down to the battery, looked for any loose connections etc., and did spot a suspicious looking spot on top of the #5 ribbon connector that I had not taken notice of before in my first disassembly. I'll take a picture of it and post a link for your consideration later on today when I have a spare moment, although I fear the worst.

Ask the person who owns the iPhone.
Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
with the black and white icon or a different one?
If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
Google may provide some direction.

HT5457 iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

quite surprised it suggests that iPhone 3gs s more powerful than the iPad1? iphone 3gs is supported. something is fishy. i don't want to fall out of love with apple products. looks like it's a business decision to cut support for iPad 1 - not technical shortcoming. if apple cut support for 3gs they will upset customers who just bought 3gs before iphone 5 was launched.... tsk tsk tsk.. i'm not from US. hope to see a class action suit by US peeps to resolve this...

When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS. Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

Where did you buy this iPhone and how did you unlock it?

With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. iPad Synchronization is fine. Any ideas to solve it?

This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

YOu'll have to restore, nothing else you can do.
If you have an older backup you can restore to that.

Your headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is.

Wrongly updated the newest iOS for my iphone 3GS

As I pluged my iPhone 3GS into a new laptop, I wrongly updated the newest iOS version into my phone. This causes a few content loses and the phone runs very slowly. How can I restore/recover the right iOS at my 3GS? Thanks a lot.

Downgrading is not supported, so that is out of question.
About the lost contents. Plug your iPhone in to iTunes of your previous laptop (if you still have it); right click on your phone's name and hit "Restore from backup". Later you can move your iTunes library from your old laptop to your new laptop by following this.

HT1222 Where do I find an actual download page, so I can physically download the ios 5.1.1 for my iPhone 3gs. It will not take the new ios 6

When I pluged my iPhone into my lap top pc. My i tunes recognized that it needed updating, and when it started to up date, about half way through, an error poped up, causing my iPhone to stop functioning.
The reason is, because it is notcompatible with the new ios 6, the phone can not be up dated any more. Now this is what I need. Because I can not find it, I need to find the actual ios 5.1.1 download, so I can get my iPhone 3gs to opperate again? Please help, I need to find the ios 5.1.1 EXE file, so I can download it back onto my phone, is this possible?

It is not possible. Further, the iPhone 3GS is capable of running iOS 6.

Will the iPhone 3GS be eligible for the next IOS?

I was wondering anyones opinions whether the iPhone 3gs would be able to handle the next ios after ios 6 ?
Any opinions welcome thanks!

No one said you were speculating, but to answer your question would require speculation.
The only idiot here is the one that asks others to violate the terms of use by answering a question that none of us are privy to the answers to.
