So my Iphone 3gs wont update to the 5.1, can you help?

I tried to download a new iTunes but it says that a later version is already installed and I have no other ideas or clues to why it wont let me.

Maybe you have an iPhone 3G and not a 3GS. A 3GS has a Compass App, a 3G iPhone does not. The latest software for iPhone 3G is 4.2.1
Check which iPhone you have.

  • Iphone 3GS showing NO service at all? can you help

    My Iphone 3gsShow's NO SERVICE at all, so can not use it.. Can anyone advice ?

    If doing a reset (hold the sleep/wake and home button until the Apple logo appears) doesn't correct it then try getting a new SIM from your carrier.

  • HT4972 3gs wont boot up into 'recovery mode' can you help

    Hi.
    I try to put my 3gs into recovery mode but it just starts the phone as normal, as if 'recover' is not possible.

    Not only will the warranty be void, you will have given up your ability to get a discounted out of warranty replacement phone.
    If you still can't get it into recovery mode, try DFU mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup.  I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
    The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
    If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)

    Hello vikings2013
    You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

  • HT4972 I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help with me step by step instructions.

    I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.

    iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
    Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353  for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch. 
    Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated.

  • HT4061 i us iphon in syria and i have problem in the mic how can you help me

    i us iphon in syria and i have problem in the mic how can you help me

    Try to Reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).
    If that does not work try Restoring it in iTunes.
    Still no go? You will need to get it serviced.

  • I need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

  • I try to buy a magazine from I tune store they kept the money but i couldnt download the magazin. Can you help me please

    I try to buy a magazine from I tune store they kept the money but i couldnt download the magazin. Can you help me please

    Hello nasiatoska,
    It sounds like you were charged for a magazine, but it was never downloaded to your iPhone.  I found an article that has some steps to assist with this:
    Newsstand-compatible apps automatically move to Newsstand. Tap and hold apps to arrange them in Newsstand.
    Note: You cannot drag other publications into Newsstand.
    If a subscription app or publication does not appear in Newsstand, verify that the app supports the Newsstand feature.
    Newsstand updates subscriptions only when using a Wi-Fi connection. If you aren't seeing the latest issue:
    Verify that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Check Settings > Store to verify that automatic download is enabled for that publication.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Using Newsstand
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4943
    If you are still not able to access the magazine after following those steps, you may want to report a problem with the magazine purchase using the steps in this article:

    hello my frend, i dont know what i have to do. I bought iphone 4 from ebay and it is locked can you help my to unlock ?
    <Edited By Host>

    Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
    it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility.

  • Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8.  Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software.  Can you help?

    Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8.  Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software.  Can you help?

    How did you buy it online? Did you buy a registration number from the Apple Store?
    Then you can download the Trial version from this link:
        Aperture 3.1 Trial 
    and run Software Update immediately after installing.
    Go to the Applications folder and delete Aperture.
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8. 
    But what exactly is the error you get, when you try to launch Aperture? Maybe you need to do more than updating.

  • In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    Hi silvano,
    If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
    Start in Cell B2
    1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
    4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
    7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
    Now you are ready to type into B5 .
    Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
    Start at B2
    1 enter
    4 enter
    7 enter
    etc.
    Now start with C2.
    Use whatever suits your work flow.
    Regards,
    Ian.
