Is iphone 3g version 3.1.2 worth updating to 4.2?

I have an iphone 3g that I didn't update, because my hp laptop's screen blacked out and wasn't fixable. Now I read that the new update slows down the iphone 3g, but I actually don't use my iphone anymore as a phone, only for my music and apps. Should I or shouldn't I update ? I appreciate all answers!
Thanks in advance!

i just got an Macbook Pro, trying to backup my stuff. I thought afterwards to update to 4.2!

  • HT4824 my iphone 4 version 4.3.5 is update to version 5.1 and i want it down grade

    hi i want to update my i phone with version 4.3.5

    downgrading is not supported.  The most recent version is 5.1 and that's what you get.

    iphone 4 version 5.0 (9A334) won't sync with itunes 10.5 (141)....
    this message keeps popping up when I try to sync my iphone
    "could not be synced because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"
    anyone have this kind of problem?
    googled it, and it's so confusing @.@

    There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly.  I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here.  Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

    You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

  • Sync problem itunes 11.1.5.5 iphone 5 Version 7.1 (11D167) Windows 7 Home premium Outlook 2010 contacts calendar

    I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes.  For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it.  Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict.  The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did.  But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours.  So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict. 
    Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes.  If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
    I have already tried:
         checking latest version of iPhone software
         in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
         using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
         resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
         trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
    The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete.  I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data).  I'm not getting any error message.
    This is what I'm using:
              iPhone 5
              iTunes version 11.1.5.5
              iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
              Windows 7 Home premium
               Outlook 2010
              Asus G74SX computer
    It is March 27, 2014.
    Suggestions welcome.  I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best
    Alex

  • I'd like to know if I can download viber on my 3.1 3GS iphone or not. I don't want to update my Iphone's version,so is it possible to have viber on 3.1? even if all my previous apps get deleted?

    The minimum version required for Viber is 3.1, though it is always important to stay up to date. Why is it that you do not want to download the latest version?

  • IPhone 4 version 5.0 has sync problems with iTunes 10.5 on Mac OsX 10.6.8

    Hi there,
    I have Mac OsX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 4 version 5.0; all up to date.
    When I try to sync my phone with iTunes, the sync goes well until the apps start to sync .... then iTunes closes and I get varying error reports.
    I have tried updating everything (Mac, iTunes, iPhone) to no avail.
    I tried restoring the iPhone, that didn't help whatsoever.
    Does anyone have a solution? I am now tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes (ie: 10.4.3) as some people suggest in different posts.
    Thank you for your time in replying!

  • I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can create my own ringtones as I had done in the past? Thank you.

    I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can make my own ringtones? I have always done so in the past (Android). I much prefer to hear my songs when someone calls. Thank you.   

    I have tried to follow all the steps correctly. I presently have on itunes 2 entries:
    1. song.m4r with this highlighted on info screen but song location.m4a on summary screen. I have enetered "OK" several times.
    2. song no suffix on info screen but song location .m4r.mp3 on summary screen
      After syncing I then go a contact and edit it. Trying to change ringtone does not give me an option for the ringtone that I created only those that were preloaded. Is there something that I need to do here? The ringtone (at least one of them) does appear in my song  list and I can play it. I don't know how to check for its properties on the iphone.
    I do not have an itunes created entry on the sidebar for ringtones (I did create a playlist myself).
