Upgrade 3GS to iOS5

Hola, I need to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to iOS5, somebody has the best way to do this upgrade. Thanks!

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Upgraded 3gs to iOS5 and can't receive texts?

I, like many other people, upgraded to the iOS5 and I have been getting that warning that my SMS mailbox is full and to delete messages in order to receive new ones. Tried that. Didn't work. I also tried resetting all system settings. That didn't work. I have read that with the iOS5 you are only allowed storage of 75,000 text messages. I have also read that this has worked for some people and hasn't worked at all for others. Is this the actual fix or is this SMS thing a glitch with the iOs5?? ... Half of the allure of the iphone was not having to monitor the build up of my text messages and the ability to save decades of text conversations. If this can't be fixed I might be moving away from the iPhone. .. Anyways, if anyone knows what to do please let me know! Thanks.

75,000 is the new limit on the SMS inbox. Your only real choice is to delete messages.
I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Apple support yesterday. They were apologetic but confirmed that that was the new limit.
I had text "conversations" dating back 2-plus years with tens of thousands of messages. I didn't like deleting them but ultimately my choice was to delete, wait for a fix/update, downgrade to iOS 4-something, or text only the friends that used iMessage. I deleted but first I spent $20 on a third party app called PhoneView and saved conversations before deleting them from the iPhone permanently. It's actually a pretty cool app.
Now, how do I get a green-checkmark-dialog bubble for "correct answer"?

How to improve the battery life after upgrading 3gs to ios5, how to improve the battery life after upgrading 3gs to ios5

how to improve the batter life 3gs phone on ios5 os

Also you may want to check a few things if you have location service turned on for Weather app, cuz every time you check your notification center, it will always check your location for the current update on the weather. If you are in the same location the entire time, you really don't need that on. Also while you are on the location service setting, check some of the apps that uses location service and if you don't use it, then turn it off while you are in there. Also maybe turn them all off and then turn on one at a time and find the culprit.
If it's not your location service, it could be that one your apps is running in the background. Double click home button, this will bring up the recently used tray, hold one of the app for 3 seconds until the - button comes out, then close all the apps. Or just do a hard reset of your iphone by holding the power button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.
Anything that will require to data connection will use battery. If you have wi-fi at home, then I suggest you keep it on wi-fi because your iphone will last longer if it's on wi-fi then on battery.
If none of the above suggestion worked, then I suggest you try restoring your phone and set it up as new and see what happens. Just make sure you have a separate back up for your contacts.

Cannot upgrade 3gs to ios5? Itunes does not recognize the update, any suggestions?

Using Windows 7 and itunes will not recognize the ios5 update? States that the version 4.2.1 it the most current software update? Any suggestions?

Do you have the compass app on your phone? If you press and hold the home button do you get voice control? I'm betting the answer to both of these questions is no.
You have an iPhone 3G. NOT a 3Gs. You can not install iOS 5.

I upgraded ma 3gs to ios5 in i tunes it asks to inset sim which is already done.how to fix this problem?

after upgrading 3gs to ios5. itunes shows dat no sim inserted which is inserted ,n the ph have no cellular service.how do i fix it?

Have you tried right clicking on your iPhone within iTune and selecting restore from backup? If there are any available, it will take you back to prior iOS5 update.

Can't recover 3GS after IOS5 upgrade attempt - phone no longer seen in iTunes

Tried upgrade on 3GS to IOS5, got msg that iTunes detected phone in recovery mode and I must restore. iTunes no longer sees the phone so restore doesn't work. Win XP sees the phone driver when I connect the phone, and driver says it is working properly. Have went through the entire support topic "iPhone not appearing in iTunes" and found no problem. Rebooted computer 3 times and tried all USB ports - iTunes still doesn't see the phone. Any ideas on how to recover this phone?

my problem occurred when I upgraded to IOS5 on my iPhone 4. I received an unable to sync message that indicated that there was no space left on my iPhone; and a "Other" Capacity indicator appeared on the bottom of the iPhone device sync screen (in yellow color) and noted an overage of 12GB! Ofcourse, prior to the upgrade I actually had 6GB free on my 32GB iPhone. So, there is a bug. The following link indicates a few solutions and hopefully it will answer your concern. The link is http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
However, I had to restore as the first two solutions didn't work. Furthermore, about 3.3GB of "Other" remains while I synced up. Clearly, the problem has not been resolved. Apple owes me and you community members a patch to fix this bug. Basically, I have spent about two hours fixing this and I still cannot use 3.3GB of my iPhone space.

Can't sync music on 3GS after IOS5 upgrade

Upgraded my 3gs to ios5, got an error state, restored, got "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-34)", but successfully restored after a couple of tries, but now I can't synch any music to the phone. My Apps,contacts, and photos are there, but no music. When I try to synch the music, It says syncing, and "completes" but the music app shows "No Content". I tried unchecking al music in itunes, syncing, then checking some music and resynching, thinking it my clear something out, but to no effect. It's as if it thinks it's adding music, bt nothings there.

If I upgrade my iphone 3Gs to iOS5 then whether its speed will reduce or it will become slow because its processor is only 600 MHZ ? If it is so then whether it should be upgrarded to iOS4 ?

I'm running iOS 5 on my 3GS, and it runs fine, granted it's not as fast as a 4 or 4S, but it will still run fine.

Recently i upgrade my iphone 3gs to IOS5. currently , after a week my iphone keep on crashing

recently i upgraded my iphone 3gs to IOS5. currently , after a week my iphone keep on crashing and restarting.
Please help me.

I have a iPhone 3GS and installed iOS5. Since then, my phone crashes 2-3 times a day, it has a hard time find the cell networks (no 3G and says no network often), and eats up a fully charged battery overnight searching for connections. Fixing my phone is now my number one use of my free time! AT&T store says I should just upgrade my phone. This a software issue! I upgraded to iOS5.01 and it seems to be no different.
My wife had similar issues with her iPhone3G and iOS4. We made 3 trips to the Apple Store to do a deep recovery to bring it back to life. They told us it was a hardware issue and we needed to buy a new phone. iOS4.1 fixed all the problems and the phone worked great.
I guess I am in for the same ride And will hope iOS5.1 fixes my issues. Apple PLEASE HELP!!!!!

All media should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now there's 21GB of Others. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now in itunes I can see there's 21GB of Others. I have no idea what is that. I didnt have that before the upgrade. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

I posted a fix for this temporary issue earlier but here it is in short:
The memory "hog" that is "others" seems to be the OS as it's installing. It seems to want more than 12GB and you may get stuck at the point where iTunes tries to load everything back on and the iPhone has run out of space. What you need to to is un-check the "sync" box at the apps, music, podcasts and other sections, then click the button to sync iTunes with iPhone. This will result in iTunes deleting all the data it restored, but you'll put it back later. Once you caused the deletion of most of the data, iOS5 will resume installing and then "magically" shrink to less than 1GB. Then you can place check marks back in the boxes and re-sync all your apps and other data. You will have plenty or memory left.
I followed the above procedure and my iPhone works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

ITunes 10 freezes when i try to upgrade my iPhone 3Gs to iOS5

Hello
I've been trying to upgrade my iPhone 3Gs to iOS5 since yesterday but i just can't get it to work.
If i manage to pass the backup step my iTunes freezes when it tries to connect to the server, my cursor turns into the dreaded rainbow wheel and that's it.
What should i do, should i wait or should i try restoring my iPhone and see if it works?
I'm running iTunes 10 on a MacBook (Leopard, updated to ver 10.5.8)
Anyone can help? Suggestions?
Thank you (:

ops not while connecting to the server, i meant while tries to extract the software ("iTunes is getting ready to restore the software on this iPhone" or something along those lines)

Failure to backup while updating 3GS to iOS5 - now iTunes doesn't recognize iPhone!

Hi, I'm trying to update my 3GS to iOS5. Working on a brand-new Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.2. Made sure I had the newest iTunes (10.5), synced my phone, transferre purchases to the computer, backed up manually for good measure. Downloaded the iOS5 update with no problem, and started the update process. Seemed to be going slowly but surely through the "backup" step of the update process. I left for five or ten minutes, and came back to a possible disaster:
- computer had gone to sleep (guess I could have changed preferences, but I assumed that the update-in-progress would keep the computer awake)
- iPhone screen shows the "plug USB into iTunes" graphic
- when I woke up the computer, it showed an error message - upgrade failed. I'm pasting the text from the iPhone Updater Log below... it ends with "Restore Error 2009."
- iPhone no longer shows up as a device in iTunes (or iPhoto). Tried closing and opening iTunes, disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone from USB port, and moving to second USB port. None of these worked. iPhone screen continues to display the "connect USB to iTunes" graphic. I found some relevant lines in the "all messages" log - pasting those below too.)
Anything I can do, short of bring both computer and phone to the Apple Store? (The phone is past warranty but I have AppleCare for the new computer)
Does the failure to back up mean that there is no previous backup I can get to? Any way to check if there's a working backup on the computer without it recognizing the iPhone?
All my apps, contacts, calendar items, music and photos are on my computer, so at least it seems that my data is not all lost. But the phone-to-computer connection doesn't seem to be coming back. Wonder if restarting computer could get it to recognize iPhone, but afraid of doing any more damage.
Any help appreciated! Thanks,
Adam

Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..
