i recently purchased  an iphone 3gs second hand .wanted to use i tunes and whatsapp but kept saying need to udate to lastes firware or what ever so went on itunes to update. update started but keeps failing now phone wont work at all .all we get is either apple logo or pic of usb and itunes logo.andy help would be gratefully recived only had phone a day.has sony experia and wanted to change to apple and fist time its now useless.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the iPhone 3GS can only be updated as far as 4.2.1
Requirements for WhatsApp are iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
As noted here >  WhatsApp Messenger for iPhone on the iTunes App Store
So that app cannot run on the iPhone 3GS.
I stand corrected but apparently you may not be able to update the device regardless.

    You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
    Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

  • Hi, I am trying to update an iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0.4, and every time I try to update it comes up with an error message saying that there was a problem because the network connection was reset. Is there any way I can get past this and update?

    The full message said:
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
    I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
    Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Dear Jody..jone5
    Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..
    Goodluck

  • HT1918 I keep getting the error message "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later." every time I try to update my debit card information. What is the problem?

    This happens on both the iTunes Store on my iPhone 4S and on the desktop version of the iTunes Store.

    I'm having this same problem....

  • I changed my email on my i tunes account and every time i try to updates an app it takes me back to the old email .what should i do to have the same email

    i chamged my account on i tunes ,and i had a new email ,and it working fine when i purchase and when i log in to i tunes ,but everytime i need to press on update button it takes me to the old e mail and account ,what should i do.

    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

    I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time  I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

    Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then update your apps one at a time.  Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

  • Every time I try to update the 4s or 4 it is saying not enough storage. I am really hating this phone now because I am not going to buy storage. We have 5 iPhones on our account and now because of iCloud it does this.

    your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

  • I purchased adobe acrobat but every time I try to open it I get a message saying trial has expired

    I purchased adobe acrobat but every time I try to open it I get a message saying trial has expired.
    Acrobate downloaded successfully.  no problem there.  but it won't open.  only gives me the error message that trial has expired and do I want to buy it.  i already bought it so...  i'm stuck.  I have tried shutting everything down and starting again (twice) still the same error.  tried re-downloading. no help.  any ideas?

    Is it giving you any option to sign in or license this software. If yes click on sign in/License this software to proceed further and activate it. If it is perpetual license activate by entering your serial key and signing in and if it is a subscription then just sign in with your Adobe it an dit will get activated.

  • I Get an error every time I try to update Windows 8.1 or update Defender (EXE On top "Class not Registered")

    I think my lap top has a lot more problems, then the sun has Hot spots! :)
    (not that I am down playing any one's situation, nor want to sound cynical or Condescending).
    Though many of my issues have been resolved through a LOT of time, tech support and a couple friends and personal researching.
    But I get the "Class not Registered" Every time I try to update Windows,
    (I have Mozilla Firefox 30 and Windows 8.1)
    On Top of small Error box, I get EXE..on top. But Inside the error box "Class not Registered"
    Some of the other issues or problems were self inflicted by not researching properly, so to say the least I am being extremely cautious.
    I have the same issue with Class not Registered, and looking for some ideas or hopefully the solution.
    After I try running a windows update and any updates for my virus scan "Defender" which is what I believe windows 8 and 8.1 uses, I am not sure about Vista or Windows 7 have, I never used them.
    I went right to 8 through a new lap top. Then I got Windows 8.1 (that was about a month ago)
    But if anyone does find or even know an answer please reply as soon as you are able, anyone else who may just be reading, if someone gets anything that did work for them, Please Let me know.
    Due to time I couldn't read through more Forum suggestions or links that may work for
    My Error EXE. "Class Not Registered" :)
    BUT will return later in day. Maybe anything I found an answer for I can pass on. i Have had plenty issues since I had a type of crash (Or whatever it was when I was online with a Tech from Microsoft and and he had it so both of us could control the Arrow cursor, I double checked phone number for MS and it checked out legit,
    That was the beginning of many days of constant repairing That was back around July 6th 2014 Thanks to everyone who even just reads this, BuddyD

    This is might because of your prior change in softwares. so first you have to do run '''sfc''' in run command. and then you see the specific problem which causes this . Since System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.
    * Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
    * Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
    * In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:
    sfc /scannow

    What kind of gobbledegook is that?  Are you or Microsoft crazy.  Us computer users need simpler instructions.  Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
