Update iPhone to iOS 5 without iTunes?

I have an iPhone 3GS. I need to update it to iOS 5 without a computer, is this possible?
If so, how?

It cannot be done sorry. You require access to a computer with the latest version of iTunes running on it to update the device

  • HT4623 how do you update iphone 3gs ios 2.1 to 4.3 please help

    If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.

  • I go to sync my Iphone 3Gs (IOS 5) with iTunes on my pc and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour.

    I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????

    If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

  • How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

    how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

    When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.

    Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

  • Updated iPhone to iOS 7, now can't sync to itunes

    I removed most of the music from my iPhone 4s to free up space for the iOS 7 update. Now my old PC, which doesn't have an Internet connection but contains my entire iTunes library, won't recognize my iPhone. It says I must have newer version of iTunes, but without Internet access, I CAN'T update iTunes. Any ideas how I can get my music from my old version of iTunes to my updated iPhone?

  • HT4623 Updated iTunes to latest version, updated iPhone to iOS 7 and now my phone won't work at all.  Won't connect to my WiFi, and won't talk to iTunes . . . Now what do I do?

    I now have a useless $700 phone.  Updated iTunes to latest version (and can't get it to revert back to an earlier version), updated iPhone (iPhone5) to iOS 7 and now it won't talk to iTunes, nor will it connect to my WiFi.  What should I try now?

    If it won't talk at all to iTunes, you can hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds, it will power off, this is ok, then let go of the power button while holding the home button until iTunes sees it as a device in recovery mode.  You can try to reinstall iOS7 and then restore.

  • Unable to update iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.1, iTunes 10.1 (54), Mac OS 10.6.5

    iTunes notifies me that iOS 4.2 update is available for my iPhone 4.
    I'm on my MacBook Pro, with iPhone 4, iOS 4.1 (8B117), iTunes 10.1 (54), Mac OS 10.6.5.
    I select either 'download' or 'download and update' and get the following error message:
    *There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "_ iPhone". You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.*
    I have run *repair permissions*, rebooted the computer multiple times. I have 22Mbit Internet with a 120GB download limit with 90GB remaining.
    Does anyone know what causes this arcane error? Surely the error indicates that there is a directory, most likely in ~/Library or /Library that has incorrect permissions, obviously +repair permissions+ hasn't fixed it. Does anyone know where iTunes stores its downloaded updates?

    I fired up my G5 MacPro and was able to update the phone, I was also then able to determine the download location for iTunes iPhone updates which is
    ~/Library/iTunes
    When I saw that I also noted that the permissions on that directory was Read/Write for System only, I added Read/Write permissions for Staff and then the download was able to happen.
    Apple needs to amend the Repair Permissions programme in Disk Utility to ensure that the above directory ( ~/Library/iTunes ) is Read/Write for Staff or users won't be able to carry out iPhone updates.
    I haven't had a chance to try the new printing features, however, my Bluetooth headset performance is dramatically improved with the iOS 4.2.1 update.
