My iPhone 3S will not allow me to upgrade. I can't download any apps and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes and tried to upgrade it, it said it was already updated. On top of that, WiFi does not work with my iPhone. What do I do to fix this?

My dad got this iPhone for me a few months ago as a gift since I had a really awful phone before. The only thing is, I can't seem to upgrade it to the latest software without it telling me it's already updated to iOS 4 or something like that. (I would be able to give you the exact iOS version, but ever since connecting my iPhone to iTunes, my phone isn't responding so I can't check the settings or anything.) I can't download any apps (I get an error message saying the software on my phone is too old) and so I pretty much am extremely limited to what I can do on this phone. I'm very frustrated at this point and incredibly displeased with Apple's products.
If someone could please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

I can't download any app. It just says waiting but doesn't install. I upgraded iOS 5.0 a few days ago. Could that be the problem?

Apps will not download. They just say "waiting" but never install. What should I do?

Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work. It is already unlocked. Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

Does ePrint work with 3G iPhone?

Does ePrint work with 3G iPhone?

ePrint works the same really from which ever device you are using. The printer is assigned an email address as part of turning on web services. HP models supporting ePrint and web services started appearing last year.
Any device that can send an email should be able to print by way of ePrint. There are guidelines that have to be met, but in general this is true.
Email sent to the printer's email address should print. eprintcenter.com can be used to register the email address of the printer and also you can monitor the status of the print job from this website.
I was an HP employee.

I have just updated my iphone4 and now I can't download any apps, its saying I need a valid US address?? any how much appreciated.

Any helpful suggestions to explain why I can't download any apps will be appreciated.
Its saying I need a valid US address I live in Australia? dont know why its asking that.

You can only access the Store of that country your account is registered for. Did you buy the apps using the same account? If you have a billing address registered in Australia, you can't buy in the US Store.
Can you update the apps in iTunes on your computer?
Did you log into your iTunes account and check your info?

I can't download the app , they asked me to key in the iTunes password but the app was not download.

Im having the same problem can't update any apps and currently i tried to download an app and has been doing circles around around around ... is the server down ??? doesn't make sense cause i just downloaded from my mac an app to test .... APPPLLLLEEEEE HELP

When I try to download an app I am asked to give additional security questions, but I am timed out every time. If I press the "not now" option the app download resets. At the moment I can't download any apps because of this.

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

I can't update my Iphone 3G to 4.3 from 4.2.1 . I can't download any apps. So what's the solution?

If your phone is an iPhone 3G, you can't update higher than 4.2.1
Only the 3GS can do.

Take a look at your remaining memory make sure you have enough memory to download the apps, also try restarting your iPhone by hold down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

Can't download any apps anymore. Get an error of -45054. Running Yosemite and tried to update itunes, but that doesn't work either.

I "updated" itunes and now I am unable to download any apps. I receive the error message -45054, try later. Please advise.

Try repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility (it should be in the Utilities folder in Applications) : https://discussions.apple.com/message/23478840
If that doesn't fix it then try the suggestion three posts further down that thread by the same user (wmark), that appear to have worked for some people
