Am not able to download ios 5.1...??..

am also not able spot personal hotspot in my iphone 4. the current ios is 5.0.1..

Personnal Hotspot is enabled or disbaled by your phone network provider and can also depend on your contract
This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting.  Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

    Yeah, not sure where you're getting that information from.  You can still get 4.2.1 for a 3G, and 6.1.3 for a 3GS, both via iTunes.  You can even go from 5.0+ to 6.1.3 on a 3GS via wi-fi.

    Hi,
    That should not be happening. Maybe you should take it back to where you bought it.
    Download and read the User Guide at this site: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id917482340
    Good luck.

    You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

  • My 3rd Generation iPod touch with iOS 5.1.1 is not able to download emails inside a label or folder in different email a/c imap or exchange??

    Hi,
    I upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 and not I am not able to download emails withing a folder or label (gmail) for any a/c configured with imap or exchange.

    Thank you for your reply. We did establish that the mail was in fact coming in but could not be seen in the actual MAC MAIL application. I just posted the following update:
    It is also a problem with POP3, not just IMAP. This seems to be widespread. My MAC Mail was working fine until the 10.10.1 update. Geek Squad Agents spent almost 8 hours trying to figure this out and get me up and running again. They did EVERYTHING! And I do mean EVERYTHING (a shout out to them for going above and beyond with this!) Nothing worked. It seems that no changes were made to MAC MAIL in the upgrade and it is still the version used in Mavericks. It also seems that it is NOT compatible with the 10.10.1 upgrade and therefore the PLIST file becomes corrupt even with a re-build (we re-built mine 2 times). They recommended a complete reinstall of 10.10.1, but due to the holiday selling season I'm going to wait until JAN to take my computer in to Best Buy for this. I'm also hoping that Apple will send out an update fixing this issue before then. In the mean time, they have installed Mozilla Thunderbird (a free open source mail app) so that I can send and receive email via my computer!
    Apple will need to fix this but until them I'm recommending anyone with this problem try a complete reinstall or use another email application on their computer.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
    "This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
    Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

  • I have the first iPad but I am not able to download the NCAA march madness app

    I have the first iPad but I am not able to download the NCAA march madness app

    what happens when you try?  Does the app require a higher version of iOS? If that is the case, you are out of luck as iOS 5.1.1 is the highest for the iPad 1.

  • Not able to download apps over Wifi, over 3G works fine.

    Hi,
    I ve been using an iPad Mini iOS 7.0.3. I am not able to download apps from app store over the wifi network but am able to do it well with 3G.
    I am able to update apps which i have already installed by Wifi and 3G with no hassles.
    Also the update to iOS7.1.1 doesnt download either on Wifi or on 3G.
    Would be glad to get some help
    Thanks

    Hi sgunturi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to download apps or the iOS update over Wi-Fi, I'd recommend first updating your iPad mini using iTunes, if possible:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4431
    Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
    iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
    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.

  • Not able to download apps at all

    Hey guys!
    I just backed my iPhone 3G data to iPhone 4.
    I am not able to download apps from the App store ..it keeps on asking the password over and over even after the password is correct , it just keeps on popping up the iTunes store log in  and ultimately it doesn't allow to download app.!
    Here are some solutions that I have tried and ended up failing.!
    1. Signing out of App store and again signing in
    2. Resetting the password.
    3. Resetting the iPhone to factory settings and then signing in.
    4. Creating a new Apple ID and signing in .
    5. Reset all media and erase then sign in
    this problem is prevailing only after restoring the back up from iPhone 3 before that is was working fine and was able to download apps from App store.
    iPhone 4 16gb, version -  7.1.2

    Hi mhp14694,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone 4. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this. If you are still having issues after all your listed steps, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if you can download from the App Store before restoring your data. You may find the following article helpful:

  • HT4539 not able to download new version of whatsapp on iphone3gs ?

    not able to download new version of whatsapp on iphone3gs ?

    You need to update your iPhone's iOS version first, the current version of that app requires iOS 4.3+
    Connect the iPhone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the phone to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the phone as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPhone by right-clicking the Iphone 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPhone on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Your phone should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google have app versions in the store.
