Unable to update original iPhone to OS 2.1

I updated iTune to 8.0, dock my iPhone and click "Check for Update". The message came back saying "The version of iPhone Software (2.0) is the current version". iTune does not show the OS 2.1 available, any idea?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This happened to mine the first time as well. I think you just need to check again or remove it from the dock and put it back and it should find that there's an update.
Regards,
Brian

Are you currently on ios 4? If so that's where the backup comes in. You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

I am unable to update my Iphone, everyone tells me that my phone should give me the option of Software Update and mine doesn't. What do I do in that case?

Read the article that you linked. it tell you how to update from itunes. Open itunes, connect iphone

Unable to update my iPhone 4 to 6.0.1.

I am unable to update my iPhone 4G to iOS 6.01. Says download failed.

Correct, because you need iTunes 10.7, and your iMac is too old to support it.
If your iPhone has iOS 5, you can update it over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
But my guess is you don't have iOS 5.
So you'll need a newer computer, or go to an Apple Store and they can help you.

Trouble updating original iPhone

I have the first iPhone and I am having a lot of difficulty trying to update it. It currently is version 2.2.1 and iTunes tells me that I can update my phone to version 3.1.3, but whenever I try to do so, it doesn't let me. The first time I ever tried updating my iPhone it went through the whole process, but at the very end, after two hours, a message popped up saying that the update failed. Today I tried again, but when I clicked 'update' it only said that iTunes was already updated and nothing about my iPhone. After several more tries iTunes froze numerous times and did not recognize my iPhone when I plugged it in.
Is this because you can no longer update the original iPhone? Or is it something else?
I read about backing up and restoring the iPhone, and I was able to successfully back it up a few hours ago, but I am a bit hesitant on going through the restoring process because iTunes is acting up right now.
Any sort of help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry to hear your having problems, and I'm not sure what the cause might be. The information I have is that 3.1.3 is the latest version of the iOS that you can run on your iPhone.
The only thing I can think if is if there is not enough free space on your iPhone, that could be causing issues with the installer.

I never updated original iPhone 4 software how can I do this

If your doing this on your phone you need to do it with the computer. Did you jailbreak your iPhone because it causes this, by the way I wouldn't reccomend jailbreaking.
