My phone says ios 4. 2 is most current but ios 5.0 is what i need

I know about itunes but when I select update it states my ios version is current

Take a look here:

You'll need iTunes 10.6 at the minimum, I believe, so if you have an earlier version of iTunes, you'll need to upgrade. iTunes 10.7 is the current release.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software.  Is there a bug in the iPod program?

    If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

  • Hello. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

    . I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

    The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
    You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
    In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
    And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
    Good Luck

  • Itunes 10.2.1.1 says IOS 4.2 is most current OS for Ipad

    I am trying to download the new 4.3 on a windows XP machine for my ipad. I have 10.2.1.1 iTunes, and it says that iOS 4.2 is the most current version.
    Any tips for me to get 4.3 to download?
    Thanks

    No, you need a different file. Look in the iPod touch forum; someone there may have posted the direct download link for the 3rd-gen iPod touch. Make sure you do indeed have a 3rd-gen iPod touch, though; many people have an 8GB iPod touch and think, due to dealer misidentification, that they have the 3rd-gen hardware which they do not.

  • ITunes update says 4.3.3 is most current software for my iPad (2) ??

    Trying to update my iPad2 (Model A1396) through iTunes.  When I go to the Summary tab it shows my current version is 4.3.3 but next to "check for updates" it says I am using the most recent software.  I thought I would be able to update to iOS 5 on an iPad 2?

    Since you have an iPad 2, you can use iTunes 10.6.3.
    iTunes 10.6.3 download http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    It's for your Mac or PC, not your iPad.

  • HT4204 i have an iphone 3g and its saying that my IOS 4.2.1 is current but yet i cant download the facebook app or whatsapp ive updated my itunes but it stil wont let me. some one help it would be greatly appreciated.

    i bought a second hand iphone 3g last week and it wont let me get my apps cause it says that i need IOS 5. on my itunes it say that the IOs 4.2.1 is current and that no update is needed. i stil tried to download fb but it wont let me cause i dont have the IOS 5. please help me.

    The Facebook app now requires iOS 5.0 or later.  I believe that 4.2.1 was the last version that Apple released for the 3G.  And with the rapid approach of the iPhone 5S and possibly 6 they are no longer supporting the 3G.  I would not be surprised to see them stop offering support for the 3GS this time around.

  • It says my software is up to date but ios 7 isnt installed

  • My phone says this accessory is not supported. But it happens when when ever I do ANYTHING! Help?????

    My phone says this accessory is not supported. It happens all the time. Charging or not. It does it all the time. I can be using the phone, using google, opening an app, it don't matter.  Can someone help?

    Check the charging port. Sounds like there is some kind of debris in there that could be causing this. You can clean with a small toothpick or soft toothbrush.

    Do you have a seperate AP providing your wireless or are you using the wireless built into the AT&T router?  If seperate, you will need to re-configure the AP to the new equipment AT&T sent you.
