Problem trying to update to iPhone OS 3.1.3 and issues with paid apps
Hi,
I bought my iPhone 3GS when my old dumbphone died and have thouroughly enjoyed the experience. I've been having a couple of minor issues which I've been wondering about of late:
1) I know the 3.1.3 update came out some time ago, but I sync my iPhone and it won't ever update. I tried to manually do it (i.e. pressing the button that says "Check for update" in iTunes->iPhone but it just says "3.1.2 is current". At first I thought it was something to do with the apps because around the time the update came out an error message appeared when I synced that said something about the apps not being able to be installed. I was perplexed because my iPhone had all its apps working, so I thought maybe that's why it won't update and clicked on "More Information". I followed the instructions to save all the apps in my computer, then deauthorize and reauthorize my computer and sync my iPhone. This solved the error message issue, but it still won't update. So, is it something with where I live (Puerto Rico)? I want the update, but I just can't get it.
2) Whenever I try to buy an app whether it's thru the app store on the iPhone or on iTunes, I can't because apparently it won't let me use my debit card. It's a Visa debit card and I have used it for all my internet purchases over the last year and it's always worked. I contacted a support person at Apple but all they could tell me was that the bank was for some reason not allowing them to access the funds, and that I should just buy a gift card and use that. Anybody else have this kind of problem?
Thanks!
Well? Does anyone know what I can do to upgrade to 3.1.3???

I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are opened.(ie Email). Tried re-booting entire phone and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or know a fix for it?
Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. -
I tried to update my iPhone 4S to ios 8, and now it wants me to restore it...
I tried to update my iphone 4S to ios 8, but it turned off and now the screen only shows that I have to connect my iphone to iTunes. Upon connecting, it says I have to restore my iPhone. I've never actually had a fond memory of restoring my phone i the past, so i'd rather not have to do that now. Is there anything I can do to fix my iPhone without restoring it?
As you were told in your previous post asking the exact same question, no.
You must restore your iPhone. The answer will not change no matter how many times you ask. -

Hey ramsrocket,
To get back those apps, follow these directions:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

You will not get help here, as stated. It's against the Terms of Use.
You've ruined your chances for help when you jailbroke your phone.
You'll have to use Google and find another forum.
Good luck. -
It has been doing this for hours now and I would just like to fix it.

Want to empty the "other space on my I-Phone any new ideas?
Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content. -

Go to iTunes.com, then click on Download iTunes on the top right area, then on the next screen make sure it states iTunes 11.1 on the left side and email is not necessary then click on download now in the blue button. Issue should be resolved
