    No. Wireless updating is only available after you upgrade to iOS 5.

    my iPhone 3gs is asking me for a password to unlock back up when i try to restore it. I updated to ios5 on a friends computer, I have tried every single password i have ever used and its not working...does this mean i lose everything?? help what do i do??

    Your friend may have Encrypeted Backups enabled on their iTunes if so that person should know the password if they don't I don't think there is much luck for you but I am research methods to unlock iPhone encrypted backups! If I find anything I shall let you know!

    Although not illegal, Apple discourages a user from modifying the iPhone OS in any manner, including "jailbreaking".  Apple feels so strongly about this that discussing methods to assist a user trying to either jailbreak or "unjailbreak" an iPhone are prohibited.

  • Error -43 and updating to iOS5 without restoring and losing All Music

    Hi there, I've been trying to update my third generation iPod Touch to iOS5. My iPad 2 updated with no issue. Whenever I try to update My iTouch I get this error message during the backup phase of installation (even though when I manually backup it seems to do so with no issue.)
    I've read other threads and see that most people have "restored" their pod and then it worked but lost all their music files. Mine are not all from iTunes and while I have on an external hard drive, the 4,000 + songs are organized in gibberish folders/code so it would take days to re drop non itunes songs/videos back on aka a major pain and tedious. I would love iOS5 but not at the expense of deleting all my info and starting over when I know its worked and should work on other Apple devices. Has anyone else had success upgrading to iOS5 without erasing their files, or spoken to someone at Apple about this particular error?
    I went to the Apple store and was told to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it and then try. That did nothing. Same message.
    For reference, I'm on a Windows Vista HP laptop, newest itunes 10.5. Any tips/tricks people have tried would be much appreciated Thank you!

    Turn off all security software.

  • IPod Touch Won't Update to iOS5 without error message (-43) stating all contents will be deleted. How can I update without everything being deleted?

    Hi there,
    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation (Model A1318). For the last several months I keep trying to update to iOs 5 and it gets stuck during the backup phase and an error message pops up:
    As half of my songs are not iTunes purchases, therefor not on the cloud, I do not want to start from scratch and have everything deleted. Also, Apple does not allow you to extract songs back off the pod easily to backup, so it would present a serious hassle reuploading hundreds of songs from CDS etc. Can anyone help explain this message? Has anyone hit continue with the update occurring smoothly without anything being erased? Any guidance much appreciated. I tried several times disabling my anti virus software during the process like others have said on the boards and in the Apple store but the same message and outcome. For reference, I'm using Windows Vista and the most recent iTunes 10.6.1.

    See my response to your other post.
    The automatic iTunes backup does not contain any synced items like apps, music (either iTunes purchases or not). There is no difference in what is backed up. See:
    iTunes: About iOS backups

  • HT2305 How do I update to iOS5 without losing all of my apps?

    How do I update my iPhone to iOS 5 without losing all of my apps?

    Yes, provided the old apps are compatible with the new OS.  BTW, double-check before in the Apps section of the iTunes library to be sure all your apps are listed there just in case. I usually sync twice just to be certain there is a backup.
    I also maintain backups of the computer just in case. You should have a current backup.

  • Any way to update iPad to ios5 without connecting to PC / Mac?

    My iPad 1 stopped showing up in iTunes on all my Macs and PCs two weeks ago.  After spending days and nights going through all possible solutions, I gave up and assume that it's a faulty dock connector (and no more warranty).  It would be nice to get iOS 5 as I could then sync iTunes through wifi.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Mine did the same thing and the USB port on the iPad had died. Fortunately mine was only a couple of months old so Best Buy exchanged it for a new one. If you've replicated it with multiple USB cords, multiple chargers and multiple computers then the USB/Docking port is about the only thing left.
    You can see if Apple can repair it (and it's more than a year old i'm guessing since you said it was out of warranty)
    Beyond that I'm thinking you're just out of luck. You can try taking it to an apple store and see what they say.
    sorry

  • I'm not able to update App! Not connecting to itunes store!

    If you look at the posts in the forum today, it does appear that there is an issue. I'd wait a couple of hours and try again.

  • How do I save files from iPad to Dropbox without connecting to computer?

    I understand how to move files from iPad to a computer using email or ITunes. I would like to be able to save a word processing file directly from my iPad wirelessly to my Dropbox folder. I have tried several apps without success, including Pages Copy to WebDav (I get an error even though I think I have entered the user name and password right; is there a special way to designate the server address). Anyway is there a method or an app that will allow me to save a Word or text file from Ipad to Dropbox. Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Pages and the DropBox app on the iPad ... so do this and it will work.
    From Pages - email the file to yourself. Tap the Wrench icon and select Share and Print - and then select Email Document. Select the file type from the pop up window - then email the document.
    Go to the mail app - open the email - tap and hold down on the document icon - select Open in - Open in DropBox.

  • How to erase a ipad without connecting to computer

    my father locked/disabled his Ipad and we have been trying for two days to figure out to how get it to work again, He does NOT have a computer, is their anyway to erase and bring back up???
    Thanks
    Kimberly

    Go to iCloud.com and try to erase it from there. He will need his Apple ID and password, but he should be able to erase the device in iCloud.com. Of course this will only work, if he was using Find My iPhone and if it is enabled on his iPad.
    You can erase the iPad using any computer that is running iTunes, but that will totally wipe the device.
    Copied from here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device

  • External Firewire wireless access WITHOUT connection to computer??

    Hello!!
    Just purchased a laptop with Airport Exptress to take place of an older desktop. The Airport is connected to my DSL via a router and my old desktop is also connected to the router. Lastly, I have two firewire external drives connected to my desktop.
    So I've been successful WIRELESSLY transferring files between my laptop connected via Airport and my desktop, as well as being able to access my firewire drives though the desktop through my network.
    My question is this...as I am about to sell the desktop, is there any hardware or peripheral (OTHER THAN keeping an old computer connected) that will allow me to access my firewire drives WIRELESSLY with my laptop. I'm about 95% sure that I KNOW the answer to my question...that I must have another computer to MOUNT the drives to be able to access the drives through the wireless network...but just thought I'd ask if there was some special hardware SHORT of a computer than can hook me up.
    Thanks for your time...
    Scott

    I'm about 95% sure that I KNOW the answer to my question...that I must have another computer to MOUNT the drives to be able to access the drives through the wireless network
    I'll give you the remaining 5% so you can be 100% certain that this is the only way to do it

  • Songs disappear without connecting to computer

    Help...I was using my IPS today and paused the playback when I got up from my desk for a meeting. I came back 30 minutes later and all my songs are gone. Battery is charged (green). IPS was not connected to laptop, so this doesn't appear to be an iTunes import/export issue...I don't think...but I have to go and add everything back again. If I have to re-import all my songs every month, what's the use?
    Please help, this is the second time this has happened. The first time all but 15 songs disappeared. This time they're all gone.
    Thanks.

    *what I meant to say was I want to reset to factory settings using charger.*
    What you mean is that you want to "Restore" it. You can't restore the iPod without first connecting the iPod to your computer and iTunes: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Does i cloud store contacts how do I get them out of cloud they have been deleted off my phone without connecting to computer

    Can someone help me we have iPhones did the updates changed to the new version hubby got my contacts and vice versatile he has lost his contacts and I deleted them when I got his how can we get his contacts back.  Hoping they are in I cloud somewhere

    You delete them the same way you got them there, via the sync process. Connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, go to the Photo tab, remove the checkmark by the photos you want to remove and sync. They will be deleted from the phone. You cannot delete them directly from the phone.
