Iphone 4s still has version 4.2.8 how do I update it?

My phone is the iphone 4s.  It still has version 4.2.8 and when I go to Settings, General, it doesn't list the current version or give me an update option for the iphone.

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1 for an iPhone 4S.

  • How do I update my iPhone with the latest version of iTunes?, How do I update my iPhone with the latest version of iTunes?

    I'm trying to synch my iPhone with my laptop but I need to get the latest version of iTunes on my phone. How can I update iTunes on my iPhone ?

    No, your computer doesn't have the latest version of iTunes, and your iPhone is running an iOS that needs the newer version of iTunes to be on the computer.

    First, have the recipient check any anti-spam filters that may be present on her email account or in any email application to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked. If she is sure that is not the case, go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

    my 4s always power off but it still has 60% battery，why and how can i do？

    That means you really did not restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and try setting the iPod up again.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

  • I am currently running OS X version 10.5.8 how did I update to Mountain Lion

    I am currently running OS X version 10.5.8 how did I update to the current version of Mountain Lion?

    Lion and Mountain Lion are largely sold by download through the Mac App Store.
    In order to download, you need 10.6.6 or better. You can arrange to purchase a 10.6 DVD, which can then be updated to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8, by CALLing the Apple Online Store. It cannot be ordered over the Internet.
    If you prefer, they were selling a 10.7 thumb drive, which may also be available over the phone ONLY.
    You must have a Mac Pro 65lb tower from 2008 or later to run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • HT1338 i have mac version 10.5.8 how do i update to newer version

    i have mac version 10.5.8 how do i update to newer version

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

  • Textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

    textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

    What OS are you on?
    Are you certain it is not compatible with this OS?
    Is there an error message presented?
    What type of file are you trying to open?
    TextEdit is a built in app, shipped with the OS, it can't be downloaded from the store, have you copied TextEdit from a backup or is it trying to run from a backup disk or other copy of the OS - Spotlight can sometimes find & try to run other versions. Eject any backup disks & retry.
    Try opening directly from /Applications (the Finders 'Go menu > Applications' will take you there).
    If you need to restore the App you will need to have it in a backup or use the OS installer.

  • I have downloaded the latest pages  update on my iPad, but my iMac still has version 4.3 and I cannot find out how to update it only desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages to via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open P

    I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • IPhone 3G still has my name.

    I have an iPhone 3G.  I have restored it to factory settings using iTunes and removed the SIM.  However, in Settings - General - About, it still has my name as the name of the iPhone.  How do I delete this please?

    Okay I've done that.  iPhone is now instructing me to connect to my computer so it can access iTunes and it has this message: 'No SIM card installed.  Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone.'
    I can't progress past this stage without doing one of the above, but I don't want to in case it then picks up any information from either of those two sources.  What do I do now?
    What are you trying to do?
    Why not put the SIM in and activate the iPhone?
