My two year old iPhone 3gs is starting to show it's age - the home button's virtually stopped working and the phone no longer rings, so I thought an iOS update would do the trick. I first updated iTunes to the latest version (running on a Windows 7 PC), backed everything up, and when prompted selected the option to download and update my phone to the new version. After about half an hour it appeared to have finished downloading, and then went into 'backing up' mode. It did this for a bit but then froze. After checking a couple of hours later nothing had changed so I rebooted, cleared the cache and re-connected the phone. Same thing again, after being prompted there was a new iOS available I accepted and it went straight into 'backing up' mode and then did nothing. Any advice welcome - I need to update so I can use the on-screen home button, as mine won't last much longer. Thanks! |

Now mind you the 3GS can only be upgraded up to a certain version of iOS 4.x I believe, does that have those accessibility options? -- Regards ...Ashwin Be sure to read the Community Guidelines | The more information you provide, the better answers you get, remember GIGO. |

I *think* it came in with v4, but I'll check! Thanks. |
