Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connect the phone to the Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to update to the most recent version

New PC – Trying to update iPhone 5, says there is not enough space

I recently purchased a new PC. I transferred all of my music from iTunes on my old pc to my new pc using an external hard drive, and imported the playlists. Now, when I try to sync my iPhone to my new pc, it says there is not enough space.
It appears that itunes thinks that I am trying to add additional music to the phone, rather than replace the music that is already on there. How do I go about syncing my phone with my new pc (ie, replacing the music that is on my phone with the same music, just from a different computer)?
If I restore the phone to factory settings and update using a recent backup, will this fix the problem, or will I run into the same issues afterwards, as the music from the backup is technically from my old pc?
Thanks in advance

HT4623 I have the Iphone 4 but I do not have a software update under General, why?

I have the iphone 4 and do not know which operating system. I would like to update software. Following instructions I went to Settings/General and I could not find the software update that is suppose to be between "about" and "usage" and I don't know why.

You have to running iOS 5 to update through iPhone. You have to update through iTunes.
You iOS version is under Settings>General>About

TS2756 Question- want to update iPhone 4., but don't have computer, do all updates require this? Last time I did it I needed one now afraid to continue updates...

Need answers plz

No you don't need computer for Updating from current iOS 7.0.6 to iOS 7.1. You can do it OTA in Settings > General > Software Updates > Download and Install
You will need wi-fi connection to Apple servers.

HT204074 I need to de-authorized older macbook and iPods. I went through manage my account, read support, but there is not a choice to list devices and select to de-authorized device, only de-authorize all! I have several old devices and need to add new p

I need to de-authorize older macbook and ipods. I read support for Itunes via my account. Directions to "manage devices", but only choice is to deauthorize all computers. How can I get list of all devices? My account says four devices are alread authorized under my ID, but does not list them. Please advise. thanks.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

A notice that a security update is available but UI do not have permissions to update, which I clearly do; I run Mac OS 10.6.4 and I am the administrator.

I received a notice of a security/stability update to FireFox 3.6.3.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" running OS 10.6.4. The claim is that I do not have permission to upgrade and I should consult with my system administrator.
I am the administrator of this machine. I do not have another system administrator. I have never had this issue before, either with Firefox or any other software.
I restarted Firefox and logged in again but the same thing happened
''(edited to stop the post from scrolling to the right)''

Try doing a clean install.
# Download the Firefox installer from http://www.mozilla.com
# Trash the current Firefox application
# Now try installing the new version of Firefox ([[Installing Firefox on Mac]])
Doing the above will not remove your user data, that is stored elsewhere in the [[profiles|profile folder]], though if you wish you can back that up first

Hi stanlaw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below should help you with this.
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

You may connect it to iTunes and update it from there.

That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier?
