Trying to Decide if its Worth trying to update 3G to iOS4?

Seems like so many problems in doing the update that I wondered if it is even worthwhile since you dont even get all the upgraded features.
Thanks!

I agree, something should be done and if the BEST provider for your needs is someone other than Verizon, you should make the switch.
It does not sound like a very hard decision. Good luck.

TS3212 Hi I am trying to update my Ipad ios4 software to Ios6. I have connected my ipad to my computer and gone ti itunes on my computer to download the new software. I get an error message saying I cannot download the software because I am not connected

Hi, I am trying to update mmy IPad to Ios6. I have coonected it to my computer. When I goto Itunes and try to update my software it comes up with an error message. I am definetly connected to the Net. I have reinstalled Itunes twice but still get the same message.

Hi James,
I understand that you are able to access the web on your computer, however you are unable to access the iTunes Store. I have found the following resource which may resolve your issue:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527
If the issue persists after following the above article, you may want to follow the "Windows" section of this resource:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Trying to update iphone from ios4.x to 5.x moved iphoto

Moved Iphoto and Itunes libraries to external drive with 700 GB+ available
(Those applications won't open anything without the drive hooked up-I think those moves are legit.)
when I click the button in itunes that says " a newer version of the iphone software is available...."
it wants to back everything up and I get to this:
The media on this iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough free space on this computer to hold all of the backed up files (10.61 GB required, 4.97 GB available). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?
Those files shouldn't be getting squeezed into my tiny laptop hard drive, they should be effortlessly plopped into the vast expanse of the LaCie external thing.
In a spirit of "what the heck", I just tried it anyway. The stuff is backed up already. It gave me a "startup disk is almost full" message and I aborted the process.
This seems way harder than it should be. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you-that makes sense
now in order to get the thing to work I need to get
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
onto the external drive. I gather that that it isn't so straightforward, I may need to create a "symbolic link"
any good rescources on doing that ?

Weird things that happened to you TRYING to update to iOS4. Put ur story!

Dear Apple.. I love you I really do! And I love your products and integration of everything with Mac and iTunes. BUT this is my second attempt to update to iOS4. And it seems that there are problems like this for SOOO MANY people in all major & semi-major updates!!
Well ok here is my story of my first FAILURE of an attempt. I'm on a black MacBook 1,1 running 10.5.8, iTunes is all updated and I have a black iPhone 3G 8 gig. I backed up my iPhone in advance like a responsible little person and downloaded iOS4. Then I started to update and another backup was being made. That took TOO long so I had 2 quit it and go to work! I come home and ok second attempt. The software was already downloaded so then i go to update. It starts to backup my iPhone and is taking its dear sweet time so I go do some other things. An HOUR AND A HALF LATER it was only 10% done!! And then out of nowhere the update/backup quits and iTunes gives me this error code that was like 10 numbers long! And gives me the option to update and not back up so I just say forget it. THEN I realize my iPhone is showing the screen with the big empty battery with the lightening bolt and the charger icon. So SOMEHOW while my iPhone was plugged into my MacBook and updating/restoring the WHOLE time, the battery was completely drained??!? I'm just at a loss. So I reset everything (iPhone and MacBook) and tied again.
Everything has worked so far. Albeit that the restore took like 2-2 & 1/2 hours! And it all seems to be going fine. My iPhone installed the new OS and I'm 6 minutes away from my iPhone restoring from the last backup.

So basically I had a REALLY long restore and then a weird iTunes error when I tried to update to the iOS4. Haha my attempt to upgrade to the 4.0 iPhone OS was nearly a failure.
BUT I AM a fan of the automatic restoring of your apps and music/media, rather than having to manually sync or drag and drop all of that stuff yourself.

I receive a Software Update notice that fails. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? How do I stop its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

About once a month I receive the Software update notice that has failed. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? If I decided I want this update how do I allow it to continue? If I decided I do not want this update how do I stop it and its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

Hi sharkbiscuit79,
Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013. PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

My iPod touch 5th g. is stuck on recovery mode, before this i was trying to update it to ios8. I'm trying to connect it to iTunes but its under unspecified and doesn't connect to itunes(asus eee pc) What do i do?

my iPod touch 5th g. is stuck on recovery mode, before this i was trying to update it to iOS8. I'm trying to connect it to iTunes but its under unspecified and doesn't connect to iTunes(Asus Eee pc) What do i do? please help me.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
And as necessary:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I am trying to update an app, but its asking to connect to a wifi or downlown it in itunes. There are several apps that need updating, I can't do either or, or maybe I just don't know how to do it.It's saying that the app is over 50MB. But it's not telling me which app. Help!!!!!!!!!

Well, I just purchased Linksys wifi and hooked it up. It's running fine. When I go to my IPhone settings to see is I'm connected to a wifi, it shows that I am not connected. When I hit my wifi to see or to connect, it takes me to the wifi networks and it's showing my secured wifi as being locked and my guess wifi as not locked. How do I sign in to my own wifi network.

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
You can read bout it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.
