ITunes Reports Different iOS version than iPhone

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS v5.1.1, and the upgrade completed successfully. When I check the version on the iPhone, it reports version 5.1.1 (9B206). If I check the software update option on the iPhone, it reports that "Your software is up to date". However, everytime I connect the iPhone to iTunes, iTunes reports that only version 5.1 is installed and there is an update available for the phone.
iTunes version = 10.6.1, running on Mac OS X 10.7.3.
How do I fix iTunes to detect the correct version installed on the iPhone?

Do they both have the same iOS?

You can do the following:
1) Download the IOS 5 update file from http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/97320
2) Copy the downloaded IOS 5 to the firmware locations stated in the link above.
3) Start itunes and update. It will take 2-5 hours to update your iPhone to IOS5.

HT4623 What is the most current iOS version for iPhone 3G?

I have an iPhone 3G, what is the most current iOS version? I have 4.2.1 and when I tried to update, iTunes says that I have the current version. I can't seem to download any apps with 4.2.1.

That is correct,
The last release of iOS to support the 3G model was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010
The 3G model is now 4 and half years old.

How to sort apps in iTunes according to iOS version?

I have an older iPod Touch, I'd like to view apps that are still compatible in the app store, how do I sort the apps to only view apps compatible with my device?

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Can I restore an iCloud backup from a different iOs version?

I have like all these backups from previous iPhones. My question is: Can I restore a backup of these on any iOS version or do I need to have the same iOS version that i had on those iPhones?

You can restore the backups to a device running the same or a newer iOS version, but not an older one. For example, if a backup was made from iOS 8.2, it can be restored to a device running 8.2 or 8.3, but not 8.1.3 or earlier.

Catalyst 2960s Stacking with different IOS versions

Hello Forum Team;
When adding a new switch with older ios version to an existing stack (flexstack) does the new switch will be able to join the stack?
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
In a stack/flexstack all the switches should have exact same IOS version, otherwise there will be a version mismatch on the stack and the new switch will not be able to join the stack.

I have an ipad 1 and an iphone 4s, how do I manage these in iTunes given that they are different ios versions (5 and 6)?

My iPhone 4s is on iOS 6 and that is fine (with various known issues of course). My iPad is using iOS 5 and does not support iOS 6, and here lies the problem.
iTunes suggests updates to my Apps, some of which become iOS 6 only making them unusable on my iPad. I can't transfer these iOS 5 compatible versions of the Apps to iTunes because they are seen as older, and if I remove them from the iPad I can no loinger install them as I can't run iOS 6 on the iPad.
This is madness and very poor design by Apple whereby their closed management tools (iTunes) cannot actually manage a situation they have crerated themselves.
If I could at least identify which Apps in my library where iOS 6 only, I could feasibly try to locate these in my Time Machine backups and keep them manually backed up for my iPad, but Apple haven't even though tof allowing me to do this. Or perhaps they have in a hiddne feature somehow!!
Does anyone know if there is a way to identify Apps that only support iOS 6?
Even if this required a terminal search for a string within .plist files or something.
Help, my iPad is losing functionality by the day...
Thanks
Chris

ITunes reporting wrong free space on iPhone 4S

On Friday, I signed up for iTunes Match. Let it do it's thing, and on Saturday afternoon, it completed. I went through and removed all the old m4p files I could, replaced with m4a, and downloaded 256k aac replacements for old files in my library for artists A-C last night. That all went good on my computer.
However, when I went to sync my phone last night, my space available is being reported incorrectly by iTunes (10.51 on Win7). It initially told me I was over usage, which was a lie. When I started this, it was roughly 5.5Gb free or so (forget exact space at the moment). When I went to sync, iTunes instantly jumped to over. I manually removed a few playlists to bring the reporting under, but it still has the problem.
As of right now, iTunes is saying there is 1.32Gb free on the iPhone. The phone itself is reporting 5.1Gb free, which is about what it should be.
I switched my iPad over to using iTunes Match, and it's usage is the same (although I haven't synced it yet). But I didn't want to do this on the phone until I resolved this reporting problem. Things i've tried already:
1) Unchecking, then checking again the "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected". I read around these forums, and found from some people that helps. It didn't for me.
2) Restore on the iPhone. Didn't work.
3) Unchecking sync music, sync the phone to remove it all, then recheck, and resync to put the music back. No difference. Same misreported space.
4) Swearing at it.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Tkx.

Interesting. I just now plugged the phone in again after ejecting it, and..
It initially showed the proper 5.1Gb free that the phone itself is reporting. But about two seconds after that, it jumped up to the incorrect 1.32Gb free.
The sync finished, and it went back down to the proper 5.1Gb free. I have no bloody idea what the deal here is. Something bizarre happened, and then it just as equally weirdly went away.

Going back an iOS version on iphone

I have a backup stored on my computer that I'd like to restore the iPhone to, but when I restore the iPhone it's trying to transfer iOS 8.3 Can I avoid that somehow?

What so you think "I have a backup stored on my computer that I'd like to restore the iPhone to" means? To me that sounds like he went into iTunes, clicked the little button that says "Back Up" which saves all the content on your phone. With that being said, I don't know if the OP is clicking "restore" and of course it would try to go to iOS 8.3 BUT there is also a button that says "Restore From Backup" which DOES NOT update the device. I will concede that the post could probably be taken either way but when someone says "I have a backup stored on my computer" I take that as someone who went and clicked "Backup" in iTunes to save all the content on their phone.
Maybe AKewlName will come back and clarify exactly what they were trying to accomplish. But if people like yourself Dan from Richmond should take more time to help people instead of using that time & energy to make cheeky comments, a lot more would be accomplished. I can't speak for everyone but this is the reason a lot of people quit or don't bother posting at all because its not worth the hassle to deal with people like yourself.
Good luck AKewlGame with your device. I hope that you found the answer you needed, whether it be mine or someone else's to help you in accomplishing what you were trying to do. There are some helpful people on here; you just have to help its one of those helpful ones that read your post!

You already ask this question, why are you asking again.

Hi; I updated my iTunes to the latest version (11.1.4.62), but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more.

Hi,
I updated my iTunes to version 11.1.4.62, but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more. I have tried the following ways but still did not work:
Rebooted the computer
Rebooted the iPhone
plugged and unplugged the USB cable multiple times and to various USB ports
Uninstalled and installed the i-Tunes
Signed out the iTunes and signed in again
my USB cable and ports are all ok
my ios version on iPhone is : 7.4.4
my laptop os is windows 8.1 and my processor is: Intel Core i7-3610QM @ 2.30 GHz
I appreciate your help.

I find this on another post and tried it. It WORKED. I had to modify to fit my situation but give it a try. Good luck.
Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel.
Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Device Manager; Portable Devices (look for Apple IPad)
Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
Under the "Driver" tab menu, confirm the update driver button is not greyed out. If the update driver button is grey and unselectable, you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner.
Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
Select "Update Driver".
Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
iTunes 11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already.
