3.1.2 update problem and a .ipsw related question

For the last couple of days all my attempts in updating to 3.1.2 ended up in an error right at the conclusion of the download process. The download would get to 99% and than quit with a network time out error (even though there is actually no internet disruption on my end). I tried disabling the firewall and antivirus, didn't help.
Is there anything else I might try doing? Alternatively is there any other (official) way to actually download the update outside iTunes? I found an .ipsw file supposedly containing this update (even the file size is a match) but is it safe to do it this way? If it is, how would I go about using it(never updated that way before)?

ok try this #1 reinstall itunes #2 download the update #3 then put your phone into restore mode by holding the power button and the home button down at the same time till itunes finds a phone in restore mode then restore the phone and it will have the update on it this worked for me good luck.

    I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
    I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
    Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
    Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
    I'm not sure what else to do.

  • Software Update Problem and Apps Failing to Launch

    Ok, so, I have done a lot of hunting around to resolve this problem, (possibly problems) and tried some of the few fixes I have found, (though all were not exactly describing my problem). Said fixes were mentioned on here and on other sites/forums. Apologies if my post is described and resolved elsewhere. I couldn't find it.
    Firstly, my spec:
    27" iMac
    Lions OSX (10.7)
    3.1 Ghz Intel Core i5
    16GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (installed by myself after purchase)
    (Let me know if you need to know more to understand my computer further)
    This computer is absolutely brand new. All I have done so far is the initial set up and installed Google Chrome and various Adobe software (CS5). Also, I did encounter a Java Runtime error and I appear to have fixed this issue by manually downloading the latest Java software.
    I noticed a problem quite early on when apps were failing to launch/crashing. Frustratingly this isn't black and white. All apps, (both Apple software and third party software (mentioned above)) seem to do a random combination of:
    + Failing to launch - icon bounce a few times and then nothing (no error/dialog box)
    + Crashing - Instantly crashing when opened (typical crash dialog box)
    + Closing down - Open for no more than 5 seconds and then completely closing down (no error/dialog box)
    + Opening fine - An application that was doing one of the above three, but now (for what ever reason) working fine
    For more clarity (though this isn't a rule), this is what each individual software (currently) does that I have tested:
    Mail - Crashing, but now opening fine
    Chrome - Crashing, but now opening fine
    Facetime, Address Book, iCal - Opening fine
    Photoshop - Opening fine, (though I have yet to click around and do anything substantial. Basically it appears to stay open)
    Illustrator - Failing to launch
    Dreamweaver - Crashing
    iTunes, iPhoto - Closing down
    But, like I say, this hasn't been consistent, (for example, Chrome has gone through a process of not working, working, not working and now working).
    To maybe resolve this I have tried to Software Update. It finds various updates and I download them. Download seems fine, but after clicking restart to install said updates, only a second in and an error dialog box appears stating that the update files may be corrupt. It then just restarts without updating.
    First idea (prompted by a pre-existing forum thread), was to delete files found in Library > Caches. After doing this and restarting, nothing appeared to be fixed/resolved.
    Second idea (again, prompted by a pre-existing forum thread), was to repair disk permissions in Disk Utility. After doing this and restarting nothing appeared to be fixed/resolved.
    Any ideas?

  • Review Problems and Solutions after upgrade question

    I have recently migrated from WSS 3.0 to Sharepoint Foundation 2010.  I now have a the following messages in Sharepoint Admin.
    The SharePoint Health Analyzer has detected some critical issues that require your attention. View these issues.
    Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local machine Administrators group.
    Using highly-privileged accounts as application pool or as service identities poses a security risk to the farm, and could allow malicious code to execute. The following services are currently running as accounts in the machine Administrators group: SharePoint
    Central Administration v4 (Application Pool)
    SPTimerV4(Windows Service)
    Built-in accounts are used as application pool or service identities.
    Using built-in accounts like Network Service or Local System as application pool or as service identities is not supported in a farm configuration. The following services are currently running as built-in identities on one or more servers: SPSearch4(Windows
    Service)
    The last time I tried to correct this type of issue I wound up creating a problem that I was unable to correct.  I had to  reinstall Sharepoint.  How critical is this and what is the best way to make these changes without causing larger problems? 
    I am using two accounts to run the services/pools/etc.  Well 3 if you count the Local System.  Account #1 and #2 are not in the Admins group.  They were when I installed everything but I have since removed them.

    Hi Poly,
    I recommend to follow the steps below to see if the warning message remains:
    1.   Re-run Rule Definition.
    In Central Administration, go: Monitoring > Health Analyzer > Review rule definitions. On the Health Analyzer Rule Definitions page, in the Category: Security group, click the rule definition link, Accounts used by application pools or service identities
    are in the local machine Administrators group. Click the Run Now button, then click Close. Wait a minute or two, and then return to Review problems and solutions page.
    2.   Reset Farm Service.
    Login to the local machine hosting the farm Central Administration application. Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and scroll down to the SharePoint 2010 Administration service. Double-click this service, select the Log On tab. If not selected,
    select  the This account option and then enter or re-enter the farm account. At the warning prompt, "The new login name will not take effect until you stop and restart the service," click OK. Stop and restart the service, and then
    click OK. Wait a minute or two, and then return to Review problems and solutions page.
    3.   Reset the Farm Timer Service.
    Login to the local machine hosting the farm Central Administration application. Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and scroll down to the SharePoint 2010 Timer service. Double-click this service and select the Log On tab. If not selected,
    select  the This account option and then enter or re-enter the farm account. At the warning prompt, "The new login name will not take effect until you stop and restart the service," click OK. Stop and restart the service, and then
    click OK. Wait a minute or two, and then return to Review problems and solutions page.

    I have the same issue. I found this real frustrating coz I have encountered this same issue since the 2.++ version update but this time the porblem didnt solve even after I disabled the firewall and antivirus. Would appreciate if someone can solve this issue rightaway.
    Also, I have problem with wifi since 2 weeks ago with my version 3.1 like many of the buddies in this discussion forum. Wifi is ok but not able to connect to internet. This is very annoying especially when most of the time you have to work outside office and get connected with information thru interent thru wifi thru iphone.
    May be we should seriously cosidiering othere choices of smartphone! Poor Apple!

  • Update problems and then some...

    So my phone updated and now I have the following issues:
    1. Lost 90% of my contacts
    2. I cannot access any email other than gmail (imagine that!)
    3. The phone no longer scrolls properly. Instead, it will hang even though I am moving my finger. I have to stop scrolling and wait
    4. The orientation is all screwed up. Sometimes it will turn correctly and other times it won't turn at all.
    5. The infamous task killer problem that others are having
    6. Battery life. See #5
    I called Verizon and all they could offer was the "remove the battery" suggestion. Can't tell you how many times I'd already done that (as well as reboots).
    So now I feel like I'm back in the horror days when I had a contract with Sprint...

    So I went to the Verizon store and all they did was a hard reset. Lost everything and still have a phone that is barely useable...

  • Premiere Pro update problem and AME bug

    After renaming the folders and emptying the Media Cache database in the Preferences I thought everything was working, that is until I exported my project to the updated Adobe media encoder. There was no audio playing back from the rendered file and my clips from the Canon 5d were missing which are not acvhd. This is a multi-cam project and the audio that was used was from the acvhd clips. Pretty weird..... So I tried exporting the project from within Premiere to bypass the AME and it worked perfect.

    In AME, please go to Preferences>General and disable the Import Sequences Natively option. Then export the sequence from Premiere Pro to AME and see if the problem persists.
    If this change resolves the issue, then we'll be interested in getting a copy of the project, if possible, to test with.

    Hi there
    I'm not sure there is a way to prevent this. The Skip button is really intended for the review process. Unfortunately it is also active at the time the user encounters the question. Basically, if the user clicks the Skip button they are saying "I don't wish to answer this question". Thus, the question is left unanswered and counts against the final score.
    Perhaps another Captivate author has a suggestion.
    Cheers... Rick

  • MDS Service Pack Update Problem and Not Receiving Any Messages

    I'm trying to upgrade my service pack on my Pearl, since I haven't been able to access the internet or BBMS, and I'm stuck at a certain point on the install.
     For Database Settings it says: "Host: localhost" and "Port: 1433"
    then here's where the problem comes in. 
     "Please Enter Database Service Names and Credentials"
    I'm given a Database Server: "mdss" and a Discovery: "mds_dis"
    Then it asks for a user name and a password and I have no idea what to put there. I'm a T-Mobile coustomer, any ideas?
    Also, my Pearl is giving me messages that I have new texts, but they aren't showing up. What do I do about this? I've tried resetting my phone numerous times. 

    hi
    can you try to update the Software from 10.3.5 to 10.3.9 and Security updates also.
    thanks

  • Software Update problems and update problems

    Hi eveyone. I recently bought a used macbook with windows installed and decided to install leopard. unfortunatly there are some problems. 1st: Software update does not work, when I run it it says that it couldnt connect to the server. I've tried multple times but always the same. So then I try going to the apple downloads section and getting the 10.5.3 and security updates there. When i start the 10.5.3 update there is a message saying that it could not be installed on the volume: this happens with all the versions from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3. Can someone please help? I never had any problems with tiger updating either way.

    What are you using to try to install Leopard? AFAIK, you need a retail Leopard install set.

  • 1.2.1 Ipod Update Problem and AC Adapter

    I have a 30GB Ipod Photo, I plugged into my PC at work, ran Itunes and it said I should update my Ipod. I ran the updater, and it updated my Ipod.
    BIG Problem: It said I had to have an AC Adapter to "Flash" my Ipod. I'm at work, dont have an AC Adapter, so the entire day can't use the ipod, can't restart it, nothing works. Get home, can't find the AC Adapter. So what, basically I can't use my Ipod until I get an AC Adapter?
    Anyone at Apple test this update?? How about a warning BEFORE you install that says you need an AC adapter to complete. I've done several updates to my Ipod and never got this message.

    hi elgoom!
    I did this update and then my iPod told me to plug it into an AC adapter. I did, however, nothing happened... It still displays the "plug it into an AC adapter" icon.
    i just did the 2006-01-10 update with attractive beast earlier today. what you should be seeing is the adapter icon replaced with the Apple icon. then a little progress bar shows up under the Apple. when it completes you get your standard display back.
    ... let's try checking on some simple things first. have you tried plugging the AC adapter into a different wall socket and seeing if the flash will go through then?
    do you have a different AC adapter available? if so, will the flash complete if you plug the ipod into that one?
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • HT5654 Is Apple aware of the itunes 11.1 update problem and is there a fix?

    I have tried deleting (in control panel) all the Apple programs and I can't delete them all.  I tried the repair option of my Windows CD.  Nothing works.  Apple... what did yoy do to us?

    Apple has to be aware of this... From the discussions on here I have seen people have been calling Support. Judging by all the threads on same, it's a big problem for a lot of people. Some are having success with advice found on here, some not, and clearly this is costing a lot of people their time.
    I want my family's devices to work. I had some time to TRY to resolve it...
    But also, while I cannot use products I paid for, I'm not buying new songs etc., and I'm not in mood to be buying another Apple device right now.
    So I'm not at all pleased, but I will try to be patient.
    If they cannot or will not solve it.
    I won't be buying anything, and risk it not working.

I cannot see any mark on contact photos... I tried everything. I changed my contacts names, changed pictures, change storage location (i took photos from stor. card to phone mem.) but nothing... Pls. help me about this... What is this ???

    Third,  We took a new 5230 phone. Can anyone tell me, what is the release notes of v12 update??
