Why is the new update not available for iPhone 3g?

My iPhone has not had an update for months, yet the new operating system is available for all models except mine!
Is it going to become available?

no never
same deal with my ipod touch 1g
it's at the end of the line
but the fact that they will never get updates again does
not change the function they provide right now
older ios hardware cant handle the newer fimrware updates
even many iphone 3gs people are complain that ios5 is running slowly and wish to downgrade

  • My iPhone 4s says that my software version 5.0.1 is up to date.  Why am I not receiving the notification that the new update is available for me to download?

    I have an iPhone 4s, not jailbroken.   I was able to update to 5.0.1 when it came out last year.  When 5.1.1 came out, I noticed that I never received the
    notification that a new update was available.  I updated my 2 ipads and my wife's iphone 4.  I didn't bother looking into it, since I didn't feel the need to update to 5.1.1.  Now I want to update to ios 6, but when I go to Settings > General > Software Update.  It checks for updates , but still shows me that my 5.0.1 is up to date.  I plug into itunes and check for update there and it still indicates that 5.0.1. is up to date as well. 
    Does anyone know what this is happening and how I can update to ios 6?
    Thanks for the input.

  • Why does the new update not recognize my new charger that i bought for my iphone ? it worked before but not anymore !!!

    i recently bought a new charger 2 months ago at best buy . (black friday sale) ! it worked so perfectly fine until today . i guess it's the new update ?! i don't really like it because the charger is a really good one . my warranty expired in december , and my charger burnt out like the other two chargers i had    ....

    Apple tried making it so iOS only allows "made for iPhone devices". You will have to get a different cable in order for it to work again.
    If you need just the USB section of it, amazon sells a nice cable, for a few bucks less than apple and it is a lot better made.

  • Why is the iOS 5 not available for the iPhone 3G??

    So disappointed that the iPhone 3G can't update to the new iOS 5!!!!!!!  Does anybody know why??? Is there any solution?
    Now I can't syncronize my data like I used to do it with mobile me!!!
    SO DISAPPOINTED Apple!!!
    You SHOULD make it available to all iPhone users, not just the new ones!

    Yes, Mobile me is available until january, but since I downloaded Lion I thought the best option was to switch to iCloud, so my Mobile me isn't available anymore... I can still sync my data manually!
    After that was when I tryed to update my iPhone and got the surprise that it's not compatible with the iOS5!
    I guess it's time to get a new phone... haha
    This is my first big disappointment with Apple... sad
    Thanks everbody !

  • Why is the gift package not available for the Apple Wireless Keyboard?

    It's available for the Apple Magic Mouse. Is it the size of the box? Or perhaps the shape of it?

    That is the way Apple decided to market the device.

  • Why is the software update not available in the App Store?

    I've been trying for over an hour to update to the 4.3 software and it keeps timing out.  I've disabled my AV software and I tried connecting directly to my LAN.  Nothing is working and I'm ready to throw this POS in the garbage.  This is the only issue I have with the phone, but it's really irritating. It must be fixed.

  • Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

    Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

    I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone  or get the Iphone c or s
    Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........

  • Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

    I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
    But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
    We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
    We waiting for
    Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
    Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
    Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
    Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
    Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
    Usability and performance improvements.
    Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
    But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
    It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
    So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
    Best Regards,
    Kevin

    Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
    We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
    Regards
    Sheldrick

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite,  Created new apple ID as couldn't remember last one now can't update iPhoto receive message this update not available for this apple Id either because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.

    upgraded to Yosemite and now can't update Iphoto or Imovies receiving message this update not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.  Is there an easy fix

    Unfortunately, anything obtained at the app store remains tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever. You will either have to start over with your new ID or try to recover the original ID.

  • Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63

    Hi!
    Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63 an 410.21... for the old OS 400....
    was OVI Maps available.
    I got an license for ovi and now it is not running ;-(
    Have any one an idea... thanks

    Currently there is something very seriously broken in the latest firmwares, Maps 3.0x SIS files or Nokia Maps Updater. Until Nokia gets their problems sorted out, the only way to restore Maps 3.x after factory reset or firmware update is to use a version meant for previous generation devices, like this one (thanks to the user ovikovi).

  • I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new  but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

    I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new  but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

    Seriously, I doubt that your answer helped Erik.  He has two issues.
    He installed the new program and has a double icon folders with software. One for the new &  one for the old.  (I have this same problem.)
    He must have attempted to open one of the products and no longer see his personal settings transferred over.  (The install will ask to have those settings migrating, but you have to accept it. eh, I could be wrong; but, that what i remembered doing.
    I concur with his first. 
    However, i can not get any of my products to work.  Ie. have to constantly click on icon to open; once open i get a unexpected error and have to close. I'm on a mac pro w/ latest os system.
    In addition, I have tried to uninstall the older by clicking on the application's manager icon.; Unfortunately, it shuts down at each attempt.  Therefore, I am unable to un-install the old product or the new. 
    Possibly, we were hoping that the new product would be simply updated if an old recent was already installed. 
    Instead, the installation simply created a new icon and the new folder with product.
