Why can't I get my Iphone to upgrade to iOS5?

Why won't my IPhone 3G update to IOS5? Both phones indicate they are current (4.2.1). No problem with my IPad2 so it's not the computer I am using or something I am doing.

Because the iPhone 3G(not 3GS) is incompatible with iOS 5.

Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

Yes I understand the PC is where everything is maintained and my playlists used to reside there and that is where I created them. However, they are now gone and only appear on my iPhone and I am trying to figure out how to get my Playlists to show back up on my PC so I can manage the songs.

HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

Hello People,
My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
Any suggestions please post below this thread.
Best Regards,
Kieran

You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1

HT5262 Why can't I get my iPhone to link to wifi ?

Been trying to link iPhone 4 ti wifi so can bck up to iCloud. My iPad connects to wifi via tethering (t mobile, hotspot) when not home. However via broadband at home. However can't get wifi n phone at home only hotspot. Confused am I.

Resetting network settings will "...will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN setting", but not sure beyond that.

Why can't I get one Iphone to push out calendar invites to other I products. It will receive but not push out.

I finally solved this problem after toiling with it for a couple of days. Solution: Once you have burned your CD you must go back into iTunes to your music/playlists and select the playlist you just burned and click file; print and you will get the mosaics that we have been accustomed to. I was on hold with Apple Support when I found this myself. Yes......!!! Problem solved..for me anyway. Good luck!

HT4623 Why can't I get my iPhone 5 to plays movies from it to a tv

Help

"help" is not a very helpful question. To be helpful, I need to know if you have other devices such as an apple 30-pin to video cable, or an appleTV. Any more information available?

Why can't I get my 3G to upgrade to 4.2?

I click the upgrade button, it starts a backup, and hours later nothing appears to have happened.

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c ?

Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c?

Did you purchase the ringtone or make it yourself by taking an excerpt from a song?
If taking an excerpt from a song, it must be 30 sec or less. Once you get the 30 sec clip, you have to create an AAC version of the clip. Open the folder with the AAC version of the clip and change the file extension to .m4r I believe. Then double click the new file and it will automatically be loaded in the "tones" folder. You can then open the "tones" folder in iTunes and drag it to your iPhone which is connected to iTunes on your computer.

Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3. It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3. It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac. I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.
