Can you provide more information?  What are you trying to update..Apps? To a higher version of iOS? What happens when you try to update whatever it is you are trying to update?

  • I have an iPhone 3GS and I want to update to iOS 4.2.1.  In my settings I don't even have the ability to "update software."  What should I do?

    I have an iPhone 3GS. I want to update to iOS 4.2.1.  In settings, general, I do not have a software update option.  What to do?

    You won't see this until you update to iOS 5.  You'll have to update using iTunes by going to the Summary tab of your sync settings and clicking on Check for Update (you will probably be prompted that there is an update available when you connect your phone and open iTunes).

    Be sure you have iTunes 10.7 (11 will be released soon)

    If the update fails
    Go on your search engine and type "iPhone 3GS firmware GSM" or "iPhone 3GS firmware CDMA" and download the latest firmware from there.

    i currently have a macbook 2.1xersion 10.6.8 and want to update. what can it support? Everything i try, it won't support! I can't even download IPhoto! I can't open anything in my ICloud account either! its not on my current browser nor am i able when logging onto my ICloud account. Can anyone give me some advice besides buying a newer laptop?

    Lion 10.7.5 is as far as you can go. You must have at least 2 GBs of installed RAM.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. Or you can order directly on the online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • TS2771 my itouch 4th gen internal speaker doesn't want to work. what can i do to fix it? help please!

    my itouch 4th gen internal speaker doesn't want to work. what can i do to fix it? help please!

    - Try inserting/removing a earphone plug a dozen or more times.
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be a bad headphone jack.

  • I have a iphone 3gs and i want to update to 5.0

    I want to update to the new 5.0 and when I check for updates when I connect to iTunes it says that I have the most recent update which is 4.2.1.  How can I update my phone.  I have a iPhone 3G.

    Sorry, iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone. You cannot update your iOS any further.

  • TS2430 my iphone shut down. it doesn't want to open. what do i need to do?

    iphone 4s shut down while my son is playing. i tried to on but it doesn't want to work. i need help.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until it begins to start. Usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes. It may turn ON itself, if still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, it may take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Earlybird doesn't want to update

    I've been using Earlybird on my Win 7 64-bit laptop for about 18 months. I use EB because Thunderbird crashed every time I tried to open it; EB gets unresponsive every now and again but is otherwise stable. My research at the time indicated that EB was the only 64-bit alternative.
    For the last couple of weeks I've been getting intermittent messages that auto updates have failed - along with a link which just leads back to the latest version of Thunderbird. On checking my installation I seem to be on EB 10.0, although the current version seems to be 38. Apparently mine has never updated.
    I don't seem to have the original installation file for EB 10.0 so I'm nervous about experimenting in case I replace something that's working with something that doesn't. Should I leave well alone with EB 10.0, or try to manually update - presumably by installing the latest version of EB over the top of the existing version? Or can I try to run the latest version of Thunderbird alongside my existing Earlybird?

    Earlybird corresponds to an alpha release and is strictly intended for testing purposes only. It is by no means recommended for production use.
    This is what I'd do:
    First create a full backup of your profile.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring
    Then uninstall Earlybird.
    Download the current release version from
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
    Install the release version.
    Report back if you still having problems.
    In case you want to stick with Earlybird you can download the latest version here:
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel
    If you know what you're doing you can also install the release version alongside with Earlybird. In that case make sure to create a separate profile for the release version and make sure not to mix-up profiles.
    If that sounds too complicated, better forget about it.

  • HT4623 Im having problems with my music ever since I got the ITunes Match, now I'm not able to listen to some songs and my ipod doesn't want to update the iOS saying something about my network and I'm hooked up to the internet?

    I was just have difficults in different things on my ipod touch 4th gene now that I have ITune Match and it not being able to update the iOS 6.1.5 and as to not sure of what I can do to get it to update and get all my songs back. Because right now I have at least 20 or 30 songs that I cant play now and I'm not sure why. I'm not even able to click on the songs and I wanted to see if there was a way to fix this without restore my ipod and starting over.

    Maybe this:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • IPhone 3GS doesn't want to sync my contacts over iCloud.

    I have a newest iOS version, I can turn off and turn back on iCloud syncing but it doesn't help. It's pretty frustrating as some contacts that I have in my mac doesn't appear in my telephone. I have this problem for long time already. Last time I was visiting I read somewhere here that new update for iOS will solve it:) I think I had two since then.

    I have been using the AC adapter. It's been pluged since yesterday evening and it doesn't get pass the white Apple screen,  I have also tried to restart it and nothing either. I tried to restore it but it doesn't have enough charge for my computer to recognize it. I'm stumped

  • Slider doesn't want to update

    I've connected a local variable to a slider indicator. Now I want to change this local variable, so that the indicator shows the new value. When I start the VI, the indicator sometimes works and sometimes not.
    I've got the idea, that the slider mostly doesn't work, when I call the VI with the slider the second time during the execution of a programm. But I can't say for sure...
    When I change the slider to a "normal" indicator (that shows only numbers but no bars) everything works fine. How can I use the slide bar indicator???
    Philipp

    I'm not quite sure exactly what kind of behavior you are referring to. I tried to test this, but my VI seemed to work fine. I am attaching what I built. Run this on your machine and see if you experience the same behavior you see with your VI.
