Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and in the summary panel select check for updates. iOS 5.0 is only available for the 3GS, 4 & 4S

    If the above Support Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS...

  • I Phone 4S. I am unable to update the software. Evidently my I Mac ( 10.4) will not allow or support the sw update. How can I update  this device? The phone function is not currently working either. HELP ! at t

    I am unable to update my I Phone 4s through I-Tunes. I believe its due to my antiquated  10.4 operating system on my 2005 I Mac. How can I perform the software update. Currently even the phone function will not work . I'm a novice with this device.

    Whatever version of Leopard you purchase, I suggest updating it to 10.5.8 which should have everything you require. To update Leopard download and install Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update. Alternatively, open Software Update and install all the recommended updates. That will include the above updater.

  • In trying to update itunes to version 10.7 I get messages that older versions of "Bonjour" and "Apple Software update" cannot be removed and so the update fails. Itunes works well on my old ipod nano but not on my new ipod touch? Any ideas

    Any ideas as to how I can update an older version of iTunes to at least version 10.7 given the problems I'm having with "bonjour" and the "software update"?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Phone kept getting hotter and hotter after update - now won't turn on

    Well, seems that my phone crapped out. The mandatory system update that seemed to take forever to load and then install. Afterward, the battery would get the life sucked out of it in minutes while getting hotter and hotter to the touch.  Now it won't even turn on.  Grrrrrrrrrrr
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on fix?

        @gaieegail,
    Believe me when I say I feel your pain! I have the same phone and had the same issues after the update. But don't worry because I'm here to help!
    What worked for me was performing a hard reset http://bit.ly/nExWmP after the update. I know it can be inconvenient but necessary after such a big update like the ICS.
    I noitced a big difference after the hard reset and I'm confident you will too. Just make sure you back up your phone before the hard reset so you don't lose anything you need.
    Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

  • HT201210 Question  I have a 4.3.5(8L1) iPod Touch.   I have been unable to update it to ios 5 and a retail store wants $50 to do it.  Many apps now require as a minimum ios5.  Can anyone help me?

    Can someone help me update my iPod Touch with ios 4 to 5 or 6?   Everytime I try it tells me if I go any further I will lose everything.

    That is normal, for major upgrades to erase your iPod. You need to sync everything to your computer, make sure it gets a backup, and then post-update restore your iPod from the backup and sync back all your apps and content. See:

  • Unable to update apps in iOS 8.0.2 iPhone 5S

    I'm unable to update any apps on my iPhone 5S.
    Problem started after I updated to iOS version 8.0.0. Oddly, apps updated for a while, then stopped about 2 days ago.
    I upgraded to 8.0.2 hoping it would solve the problem. Still a problem.
    I receive notifications in the App Store that apps are ready for an update. I go into the App Store and click to "update" on individual apps or "update all". In both cases, the little blue square in a circle loads (looks like it's about to download the update), but no progress indicator shows that it's / they're downloading.
    Have rebooted. No help.
    Have signed out and back into the App Store. Didn't fix it.
    Turned off Family Sharing. Didn't fix it.
    I've attempted to update the apps using 3 different Wi-Fi networks, all of them with a strong signal. Have also tried while tethered to laptop via iTunes.
    Little help?

    hi, Brett - I'm having a problem now restarting my iPhone.
    iTunes (yep, it's the latest Windows version) keeps crashing ("iTunes has stopped working" message).
    The installed apps are blacked out with text beneath the icon "Waiting".
    And iTunes crashes on step 4 of 4 (Syncing Apps to John Alton iPhone 5S - step 5 of 5). Starts on the first app it tries to reinstall / sync.
    I am manually installing each application because I'm unable to bring back from syn. (On the iPhone, in App Store, go to Purchased > Not on this iPhone,
    But I'm still unable to run iTunes because it crashes while attempting to re-load the applications and data.
    Little help?
    thanks,

  • Unable to update apps in iOS 8

    I updated my iPad Air to IOS 8 without difficulty, and some apps updated automatically.  Last night all app update downloads failed - just didn't download.  After going through the troubleshooting, still no luck.  The iPad is working fine otherwise.  I closed all applications, rebooted the iPad, synced again (I do it every few days with my iMac), rebooted by router, and reset all settings.  Nothing worked.  My local Apple reseller was unable to help!  Any ideas or is this an IOS 8 glitch?

  • Unable to update IPad to iOS 8

    I an unable to update iOS 8 o my IPad.
    it says an error occurred in downloading.
    PL tell me what to do.
    thanks

    Hi Yogeshmanand,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPad isn’t able to download iOS 8 over the air. You’ll probably have better luck downloading the upgrade on another Wi-Fi network or using iTunes, as suggested in the article linked below.
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
    I hope this helps.
    -Jason

  • I have the iPhone 3GS and I was updating to the IOS 5 version when at the end of the update it said updated failed. Now my phone is not recognized by my computer or any computer. The computer says it is a unknown device and my phone will not do anything.

    Need help finding out what happened to my phone and what I can do. After trying to update my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5 my phone will no longer work and is an unknown device to any computer. It is like it wiped out everything on the iPhone and has no hardware or data on it. At the end of the download and update of IOS 5 it said there was an error during the process and gave me no option but to push ok and know phone is not working. The screen shows the USB plug and iTunes symbol, but computers will not recognize device.

    What was the error number?  That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

    Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  See:
