Update iPhone from iOS 5.1.1 to iOs 6.1.3?

I have been wary about updating my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6 (now 6.1.3) because of all of the grief I'm hearing about iOS6 and succeediing updates. My iPhone works fine, no issues. It seems to me that I should just "stand pat" until this thing works itself out. Does that make sense or am I missing something here?

Up until I updated my iPhone 5 with the version of 6 that was supposed to address wifi issues, I also had never had a problem, and did not know anyone who did. It is true that there is a small percentage of users who have problems with each update. I waited on updating my 4 to 5.1 because some small number of people lost wifi with that update. I finally bit the bullet and had no problems. However, after updating my iPhone 5 with the update specifically for iPhone 5 wifi problems, I had what now seems to be the fairly common problem (among the still small percentage of users affected) of losing internet access when more than 5 feet from my home router. The wifi connection appeared to be fine, but no input or output. Public wifi was fine. Apple replaced the phone for me at the store, after I had jumped through a few unpleasant hoops. I have not updated my OS again, though I will do so soon, when I know I have time to go back to the Apple store if necessary. I've been reading about problems with iOS 6 updates since that OS came out, and I do believe there are more problems with it, re wifi and battery life/overheating than I have seen with previous OS's. I have also not updated my iPad 2 and iPad mini yet, but intend to do it before my warranty is up.
It's really a personal decision, but there are definite, though small risks, involved.

If an iPhone 3G, it can't be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1...that's the end of the line for that model iPhone.

Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to unlock it. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

HT201210 Error when updating iPhone from 5.1.1 to iOS 6.0

When I tried to update my iPhone software from 5.1.1 to iOS6, it said there was an error. Then it said I needed to restore my iPhone. I pushed update and restore, and it keeps giving me an error. My iPhone is essentially wiped out and not usable because it shows iTunes with the cord logo on my phone. I've tried this several times to restore. What do I do?

HT4623 how to update iphone from ios 6.0.2 to 5.0.1

i want to update ios 6.0.1 to 5.0.1 because i didnt like it

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

I bought my iphone from uae, if I upgrade my ios here in philippines can activate facetime?

I want to activate facetime but my iphone is from uae,
But im in philippines right now. If I upgrade my iphone ios, here in philippines can i activate facetime?

If I remember rightly FaceTime has been disabled in certain Arab countries by the government in those countries and UAE is one of those countries If you bought the phone in UAE it doesn't matter where you activate it your will not get facetime

Can't update iPhone from iTunes

I am trying to update my iPhone to version 4.2, using iTunes 9.2.1
Everytime I press "update" for iPhone, a window comes up with: Your current version of iTunes is updated. There is no option to back up or update my iphone.
Any ideas anyone ?

You don't have to give up on iPhone, just on buying Macintosh computers. I ran into the (awful) 10.4 ceiling/forced upgrade myself and solved it by using a really old computer I had running Windox XP. There are no limitations for that and you can get the latest iPhone updates. In this case, Apple totally screwed people that own Macs.
As for 'on-costs' there's a ton of free anti-virus and anti-spyware solutions, RestlessFool. Why don't you put down the Apple crack pipe for a second and try being actually helpful on a support forum, eh?
For those that don't have an old PC laying around, check out this link for how to download and manually install older iOS updates (you do not need to jailbreak to do this) - I did this for a friend to get them 4.1 update when running OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 -

Trying to update iPhone from 4.3.1 to 4.3.3 on my iMAc but keep getting error message saying, "Network Connections Timing Out". What is the problem?

iPhone update to 4.3.3 failed and gave me the error message, " update failed due to network connections timing out". I am using a cable modem with ethernet. iPhone is a 4G currently running 4.3.1. What is the solution?

i believe it is a result of a weak connection. maybe try it at someone else's place?

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 ?

Updating iPhone from ios4 to ios5. Finished backing up, but both iTunes and iPhone seem to be frozen - nothing happening. What do I do?

This is truly weird - my iPhone4 successfully updated from iOS4 - iOS5, but it didn't back up any of my apps/contacts/stuff. etc. I still have the right phone number but everything else, including email account info and photos are my daughter-in-laws, the photos are all dated 2008. What on earth happened?

NO need to do a double posting on the same subject.
If your getting data from 2008, that means you didn't backup your phone prior to doing the update.

Cannot Update IPhone from MacBook Pro

I had to restore the system software on my MacBook Pro the other day, and now MBP finds the 3G, but tells me that "ITunes cannot read the contents of the IPhone", and to go to the summary tab in ITunes preferences to restore the software on the IPhone. When I click the Restore button, I get another message that says "Software for this IPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of ITunes and try again". So, I dutifully click on "Check for Updates" in ITunes, and it tells me I have the current version (8.2). I also have a 3G S (32gb) and the problem manifests differently with that IPhone--it doesn't see/find it when I plug it into MBP. What can I do to resolve both (related) issues? Thanks.

Perhaps you would post the exact message?

And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
Apple the best
H.M

The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.
