should i upgrade my iphone 3g from ios 3.1.2 to 4.2? i cant use all the latest apps !

SSince Apple does not support downgrading the iOS I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Thanks anyway for your help.
But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

Should I upgrade my iPad mini from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.1.1? Thanks in advance

Should I upgrade my iPad mini from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.1.1? Thanks in advance

No, it's not true. If someone were to buy it from you then it would have to be completely restored as new at which time only the then current version of iOS can be installed. Having an older version on it now makes it worth no more than if it had 7.1.1 installed.
When you sell or give it away the new user cannot use anything on the device that is registered to your Apple ID. That's everything. You will need to turn off Find My Phone, remove the phone from your @icloud.com Find My Phone, then erase it completely. Unless you do that the device is useless to another owner. Erasing it will result in having the new iOS version installed.

Upgraded my iPhone 5 from iOS 6 to 6.1. Lost all of my 250 contacts. The support person I spoke to gave me instructions that caused my backup (on my computer through iTunes) to be overwritten. Any suggestions?

A couple of nights ago I upgraded my iPhone 5 from iOS 6 to 6.1. All of my 250+ contacts were gone. I spoke to an Apple support person. The instructions she gave me, which I followed while she was on the land line with me, caused the backup file to be overwritten with the file that had 0 contacts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone had a problem with lost contacts when upgrading to iOS 6.1?

Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)

HT1766 Hi! I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1. When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted. What can I do then to restore my iPhone?

Hi!
I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1.
When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted.
What can I do then to restore my iPhone?

Backups are only used for restoring iPhones via iTunes.
If you desire to go about another method for extracting data from a backup, use google to find out how (if possible) to make that happen.

Halo, how i do upgrade my iphone 3gs from IOS 4.1 to 4.3? please help

Halo, how do i upgrade the IOS on my iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 4.3? please help.

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

Should I upgrade iPad (1st Gen) from iOS 4.2.1 to iOs 5.1.1?

I am using iPad (Wi-Fi only) from last 2 years mainly for web surfing and emails. iOS 5 is sure slick and tempting. Should I upgrade or not? I dont want iPad to get sluggish after update, in that way I am better off with iOS 4.2.1 running smoothly on it. Help pls.!

I dunno sabatoge.
It seems like it would be nice to have ipade 1st gen to get 6.0
But it would certainly help safari from crashing.     Still.
I wouldn't,t say that 5.1.1 is the LAST UPGRADE.          Apple might still do something.

ITunes hangs up EVERYTIME I try to Upgrade my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1.1

So I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.5. I want to undo the jailbreaking so I downloaded iOS 5.1.1 but EVEYRTIME I try upgrading, iTunes always hang up. iTunes hangs up even when I just connect my iPhone. It hangs up when I click the name of my iPhone. It hangs up when I click sync. It ate all of my available space so I have 0 GB left. I'm really frustrated. Please help me resolve this. Thanks!

Should i upgrade my iPhone 4 from 5.1.1 to 6.1.2?

I haven't upgraded my Iphone 4 in a while because I heard that the OS upgrade would significantly reduce performance. now that there have been many new versions, should I upgrade to the latest OS 6.1.2??
what's the good, the bad, and the ugly of it?
Thanks!

I appreciate your response. Thanks. I ask because I had heard way back, when the 4S first came out, "don't upgrade the OS unless you want to screw up your phone" -- this was even implied to me by an Apple store employee, along with several friends in addition to what i heard through the grapevine.
I suspect by now, perhaps these issues have been resolved? do you yourself, or know someone, who has an iPhone 4 (not 4S) who has upgraded the OS without major problems??
sincerely, thank you for your advice.

Should i upgrade my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0.1 ?

Dear folks.
      A couple of days ago I bought an unlocked, apparently little used iPhone 3GS 32GB. To my surprise, the phone was still running iOS 3.1.3 (quite unusual to find this old iOS on a 3GS in December 2012). I checked out for typical jailbreak-apps and I didn`t find any. It looks pretty "innocent" in that respect, and it works like a dream. The battery seems to last boringly long. The only things that I would like to have on it are few but important (to me): I want to be able to turn off/on cellular data myself(always on on 3.1.3) and I need two apps that are no longer available for iOS 3.1.3 : Shazam and Maps With Me. NOTHING ELSE
      I know that iOS 6 is available for the 3GS, but I`ve heard stories of 3GSes running into trouble after having been installed iOS 6 on. Like not reckognizing the SIM card, randomly rebooting, and having their batteries rapidly draining.
      What should I do? Shall I upgrade and get the stuff I miss, but risk ending up with a troublesome phone? Or shall I stick with what I have but enjoy a good working phone?
      I would be grateful for any suggestion.

     Hi Michael! Thanks for the reply
     I live in Norway, and the phone has been either provided by a Norwegian carrier, or bought unlocked from the Norwegian Apple Store. You can check yourself by going to Settings-General-About-Model and type the model number (MC133KN in my case) here: http://iphonefrom.com/en/MC133KN But it`s unlocked, I placed a Lebara SIM in it and it works perfectly.
     If it has been carrier-locked then most(if not all) Norwegian carriers are selling the phones on a 12 months subscription contract. When the 12 months are up, the phone is being unlocked by the carrier either automatically, or upon customer`s request(depends which carrier you use).
     It`s good to hear that your 3GS works well with the iOS 6, still after having read about issues after upgrade I have a feel that the upgrade to iOS 6 may be a hit or miss.
     I read on a forum that early iPhones can only support 3 major upgrades. Can that be true?
