IPhone new iOS upgrade

I recd a msg saying I can upgrade my iPhone 3G to new iOS 4.2. I connected to the PC & it said the upgrade was easy. Just go to iTunes & follow the instructions. There are no instructions on how to upgrade on iTunes that I can find. This is my first time to download an upgrade. What am I doing wrong? Where do I go in iTunes to access the upgrade?

When I select iTunes on my phone it takes me to a page that lists Podcasts, Audiobooks, iTunes U, Downloads, Ping. At the bottom I can select from Music, Video, Ringtones, Search, More.... I don't see anything called Summary?
Turn on your computer.
Open itunes on your computer.
Connect iphone.
Got to the summary tab.
Click check for updates.
It may help you to look at the manual:

    After the iOS 7.0.2 update words with friends is not working for me either. When I attempt to open the app it just closes itself after a few seconds of being open. This happens every time I attempt to open it.

  • IPhone 4 iOS upgrade

    Just tried to upgrade iphone 4 with iOS 7 and stuck in endless loop.  Phone screen wants me to select a wi-fi network (no problem), then restore from either iCloud or iTunes.  I had to use iTunes for the upgrade due to the phone and previous OS version, so choose this option.   However, nothing is getting me beyond this. The phone keeps going back to the same screen.  Don't want to lose my contacts and pic's.  Sorry I ever tried to upgrade.  Any help much appreciated!

    You can update to ios 7.0.4

  • Can't import to Picasa through iphone after ios upgrade

    Since I updated my iphone 5 to iOS 7, I can't import photos through Picasa on my iMac. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem. All the latest updates as you also have. I´m wondering if it has something to do with merged events in iPhoto (9.1.5), but I´m not shure.... No solution yet...

  • Mail on iPhone after iOS upgrade

    Upgraded OS to 5.1 yesterday and sync'd iPhone.  All email (from hotmail, not MobileMe) now being received twice into inbox.  Any reason why?  How to fix?  Thanks.

    Our entire company is hit by this and our IT department put a notice on our internal website saying that they have no intention of even trying to work on this issue as they see it as Apple´s responsability to fix. I hope Apple fix this soon as it ***** to be without company email access on the phone and ipad!

  • HT4528 Is anybody having problems receiving text messages since the new iOS upgrade?

    People have told me that they have sent me a text message but yet I am not receiving anything.

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this did not work, and to rule out a software issue, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • Hotmail accounts not working on iPhone 6 - IOS 8.3?

    I've realised over the last few days that I've not been getting emails on my iPhone, they do still come through on my Mac.  I read a few threads that seem to put it down to the new IOS upgrade, but I can't remember when I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and when the emails stopped coming, but it does seem quite coincidental.
    I thought I delete the accounts on my iphone but it won't let me, it just keeps hanging with the screen showing deleting, but it doesn't delete.  I have to force a quit out of settings to get out of the screen.
    I also tried sending an email from each account to see if it would work but it also hangs on sending at the bottom of the screen.
    My iPhone 6 is only a few weeks old and I'm not sure what I'm meant to do now.  Why can I not delete the email accounts?  Why has my iPhone stopped sending and receiving them?
    Any help very much appreciated!

  • I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4.  I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones.  When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa.  How can I fix this?

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?

    Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 3gs - the new ios 6.1 (?) upgrade has inabled my phone. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?

    I have an iphone 3gs - yes, an older iphone. 
    This morning apple had a msg that asked if I wanted to upgrade to the new ios 6.1 (?).  I said yes.  Now I can't use my phone.  I've tried hitting the power and other buttons.  I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?  This *****!  I realize (now from reading internet) that my phone/system may be uncompatible.  Help!

    I have a 3GS (a true classic design!) and have upgraded it to 6.1 today.  The process did not go without a glitch - it took a few attempts to get the app's to sync but after detecting the ones causing an issue and deleting them it works - so far!  I have had issues about 50% of the numerous times a new OS is uploaded to this phone and always take the new OS with trepidation.  But at least you know there is a 3GS with 6.1 working OK.
    I suggest you do a fresh restart to the phone several times - without it being connected to the computer - to see if it gets its act together and starts.  I think it will.  Hold down the top 'power' button and front round control button until it shuts down - goes blank and dead.  Then press the top power button to re-activate - reboot - it.
    If that does not work then plug into your itunes computer, navigate in iTunes to see your iPhone and hopefully you will be able to sync it or at least 'restore iPhone' from the 'summary' tab.
    If you can not get onto the iphone perhaps you will still be able to sync if in iTunes by going - 'file' - 'devices' - 'sync iphone' or failing that try transfer purchases' and ultimately 'restore from back-up'.
    I had technical problems with my old 3GS (suffered a failed wireless antenna) so I took it to an Apple Store and they issued me with a service-replacement/reconditioned phone for a very modest charge.  So if worst come to the worst get a new phone that way!
