No, that's not true, if your phone is officially unlocked. You have nothing to worry about.

Update it or don't. It's not mandatory. I do not believe it's "one of the worst updates" as I have applied every OS update Apple has offered me since 1984, and have yet to have a problem that was not caused by me.

Should i update my iphone 4 i have recentaly purchased to ios 7

Should i update my iphone 4 to ios 7 which i have recentaly purchased.

ckuan is right, go to an Apple store and use it first. Here is a CNET review: http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-ios-7/

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Stop being impatient.
From the article that the question was posted from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
You cannot downgrade.
If you have a 3GS, you can only install iOS 6.1.3 which is the current version of iOS for the device.

I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times

I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times. The message I get is ( iphone is disabled- connect to itunes

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

Should I update my iPhone 4 (4.1 to 5.0.1) or stay outdated? NEED HELP, PLEASE!!!!!!?

Ok, I know that this may be long but bear with me, really need your help guys!!!!
Ok, so a few years ago, I bought an iPhone 4 (I was in Zimbabwe, now in the US) that was factory unlocked from what I can tell. Reason why I "THINK" it's unlocked is because
1. It did not have Cydia installed when I got it, just stock with native apps only
2. Running on 02.10.04 Baseband (That cannot be Cydia Unlocked), I manage used several Network Providers and all Sim cards worked and still do, no problems. (Using T-Mobile Now)
3. Model Number is MC603B, and according to my research, it is a factory unlocked model.
Unless im mistaken???????
Here we go. The iOS 5.0.1 is out and I am now running iOS 4.1 (Jailbroken), which is really bakward, so loads of tweaks and apps cant run on my outdated iOS and i want iOS 5. I have heard people all over the internet complain that after the iOS5 upgrade, their phones locked-up and can't dowgrade or activate after the update, so if that happens im STUCK forever, and I really dont know what to do!!!!
HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:
1. Is my phone really factory unlocked, based on what I listed above? Or is there any other way of checking???
2. If I DO update, do I risk locking-up my phone????
***3. Should I update it "while preserving my baseband" and still manage to Activate it, or just leave it to update my baseband????? PLEASE HELP. Read my questions carefully and answer on what you think.
Thanks alot guys

Well, since the iPhone is not officially sold in Zimbabwe, & that's where you purchased it, you can pretty much count on the fact that it was hacked to unlock it, regardless of what you think or see. Thus, you can be pretty much assured that if you update software your phone will be re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to.

HT4623 should I update my iPhone 4 to 7.0.2? I have heard I shouldnt do the update.

should I update to 7.0.2 on my iPhone 4? I have heard there are problems for the iPhone 4 and should not do this.

Your phone should still work, just make sure iTunes backs up your phone and the update will download and install smoothly.
Also make sure youre using the latest version of iTunes (10.5) before you start the update.

Should I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 or better or better wait until iOS 5.0.2 comes out.

My iPhone 4 has 5.0 update and after reading people reviews on iOS 5.0.1 I really don't want to update my iPhone. My iPhone 4 battery is ok and I don't have fast drain problems. Is it really really one of the worst Apple apdates. Please help me to decide update or to wait. Thanks.

Update to iPhone OS 4.2 causes iTunes to crash mid-download?

Hi there,
I recently tried to update my iPhone 4 to the latest software version 4.2
It said that my iTunes was out of date and that i needed to upgrade to version 10.1. Which i did.
Once that was done i plugged my iphone in and tried to upgrade the software only to have itunes crash mid-download.
I've tried several times over the last few weeks and every time, iTunes encounters a problem and has to close...always during the downlaoding of the update.
Can anyone help?
thank you,
james

First off, try it with another user account, (no you won't lose all your music - you don't want to sync, just update). If that didn't work then I would see if I knew someone with an iP4 and ask them if I can copy the ipsw file to the correct location. Use that and start iTunes again.
ps the second method is one that I assume works as I've done it with an iPod before.

I recently updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 now experiencing problems

After I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 I have been having a lot of problem. The home and lock buttons often do not work/have a very large delay. The screen freezes frequently. The vibrate for texts and calls is often delayed or never occurs. Have others been experiencing these problems as well or have any suggestions?

I noticed that my camera app crashes when panorama mode is engaged - but only if the sound is switched off.

IPhone cannot sync address book, "too many flushes" in console

Hello, ran into this recently and its driving me nuts. I've restored the phone twice, without restoring a backup, setting it up as a new phone each time.
It'll sync everything else fine but not this. I have reset the sync history in isync, deleted my address book completely (I have a backup of it) yet iTunes still shows the old groups under the info tab. I've double checked that I am the owner on the permissions page of the mail/ical/itunes/etc.... folders in %users/Library. Repaired permissions. I'm running out of things to check.
Whenever I try to sync this is the information that can be found in the Console. I've deleted preferences, i'm almost ready to completely blow itunes away and re-import/re-rate my itunes library from scratch!

I also cannot sync anything from the Info tab, contacts, calendars, can't replace the data either. If I enable iCal syncing it just hangs on the sync and doesn't error out. it'll stay syncing contacts for over 12 hours so far with no change.

Now isn't this interesting. I decided on a whim to have console open when I reset the sync preferences. And this is what it reported. Definitely some permissions errors. I've already run

After running sudo chown -R rr152510 SyncServices/ from terminal I received the same errors. So either its not following through the sub-directories and changing the owner, or its something else. Gonna try it from the root user, though sudo should have given me permissions to do anything I wanted.

My Iphone is disabled because of too many attempts at unlocking in with incorrect passcode. I know the code and do not want to "restore" phone. How can I fix this

My Iphone 4 is disabled as a result of someone making too many attempts at guessing my passcode. I know my passcode and do NOT want to "restore" my phone. Is there a way for me to use my passcode to unlock it once it has been disabled?

Its frustrating because all of the help assumes you have forgotten your passcode, or that you can get in to your phone to get the ID number.

Should i update my iPhone, or does it cause too many problems?
