A few people have emailed me this weekend, asking how to upgrade their iPhones to the new 3.0 Operating System, which Apple just released early last week, so I thought I'd provide a quick run-down on the easy steps to upgrade. Just have your iPhone, your computer, and your iPhone cable ready.
- First, open your iTunes on your computer and click the 'Help' tab at the top, then go to 'Check for Updates' to verify that you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're up-to-date, great! If not, go ahead and update it now.
- Next, with iTunes already open, plug your iPhone into your computer. It may take a minute, but once your iPhone shows up in the list on the left side of your iTunes screen, click on it. This will bring up your iPhone's control screen. In the middle of the summary page, you'll see a button that says 'Check for Update.' Click that button and wait. It will either tell you that your version is current, or that you need to upgrade.
From there, it's easy, just follow the prompts on the screen as it automatically walks you through the upgrading of your iPhone's OS.
Once it's done, go exploring and check out all the nice little extras you just go for free!
