Updating iPhone 3Gs to iOS4

I have a small fleet of about 25 iPhone’s that I want to update to the new os.
My users well I do not trust them to do it themselves.
Is there a way to update myself without deleting any data they have saved on their toy?

+1.
Having done a little research, though it didn't solve my problem, make sure no third-party apps or background services related to the iphone are running on your computer prior to a backup.

IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Klaus

I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.

Upgrating from iPhone 3gs to ios4

Hey I am upgrating from iPhone 3gs to ios4 but I have noticed that the sim card are not the same . I am living in Lebanon middle east theirs isn t any micro sim card by the company but some friends told me that you can cut the old one to fit the ios4 is this true or theirs is another thing I have to do ?

iOS4 is firmware update 4.0, which will be pre-installed on the iPhone 4 and will be available as a firmware update for the iPhone 3G and 3GS on 6/21.
The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM card. I've seen some discussion about cutting a standard size SIM card down to the size of a micro-SIM card to be used with an iPad. If your carrier does not provide a micro-SIM card, they must not be an official carrier for the iPhone and if not, you have no other choice but to cut down a standard size SIM card to the size of a micro-SIM card.

Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?

I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

Trying to update iPhone 3GS & saying its up to date! Anyone help?

Do you have the latest itunes (10.5)?

My problem I worked updated iPhone 3 gs (ios4.1) to version (ios6), and when operating the device required to activate the phone and therefore appears to me aftermarket says (IMEI 01 216 300 555 018 3 ) ICCCID unknown.

There is no network
I hope that I showed you my problem

That's a critical failure. It can not be fixed. It is usually the result of jailbreaking or hacking the phone to unlock it.

I'm experiencing the same issue and I see that you're also posting from China. Not sure is location-related but if you managed to activate you iPhone: how did you do it? Just keep on trying?

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.
