Bluetooth Firmware could not be updated

During software update I received a message "An unexpected error occurred (4:190). Your firmware could not be updated, please try again."
I turned off all Bluetooth devices and tried again to update several times, but still getting the same message.
Need assistance.
Thank you

It is caused by the language preferences (unlikely as it may sound).
Go to "International" in "System Preferences" and make sure "English" is the first in the "Languages" list. Reboot before attempting to upgrade the bluetooth firmware again.
I got the same error as long as "Hebrew" was first on the list.
(I guess the install script tries to parse some text and fails if the text is Unicode).

  • The iPod could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.

    So i kept having this problem in this thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1226490&tstart=255
    I decided that maybe doing a Restore on my iPod would maybe sort it out however i got that message "The iPod could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt." when trying to restore. I then searched apple and found out that deleting the 'iPod Software Updates' folder would sort it out, it didn't.
    Now what's happening is when i try to restore it comes up saying i have to download this iPod Software 1.2.1 for iPod so it downloads and then when it's finished i'm still getting the error message saying the firmware file is corrupt.
    What can i do now? any help appreciated please.

    this article actually sorted this problem out for me: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996

  • Software could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt

    I just received my iPad yesterday and I saw there was a new update to the OS(from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2). I tried to install it and after downloading the 450 MB file it gave me the error "The iPod "ipod name" Could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt", so I tried it again and again got hte same error; so I tried researching and saw several possible solutions, including re-installing iTunes, so I decided to try it on a different machine, same error. I don't want to keep downloading huge files, so I'm wondering if anyone knows some possible solutions? I've tried this on both a Windows XP and Windows 7 machine.

    Hi, I had the same problem: firmware was corrupted on the update. I managed to fix it by logging in to my administrator account and leting iTunes do a reset. I have no media or apps on that iTunes account so it was relatively straight forward. Once reset and update was complete I logged back into my user account and let my usual iTunes account reinstal all my media and apps.
    Be sure to backup your iPad before doing a reset.
    This may help; you may also like to contact iPad Support for assistance.

  • HT201210 what does it mean when i get a message "my ipod could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"

    iPod version shown in iTunes as "4.3.4"  (not listed in the OS drop-down associated with setting up this post.  Appeared to download the update OK but as soon as it went to install it came up with "The iPod "xxxxx" could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"  Why and what do I do now?  I'm pretty sure it was trying to install 5.1.1

    - Are you updating clicking on the update button in iTunes?
    Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
    - Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try deleting file and try again. It is located:
    IPSW file location for Mac and Windows

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I recieved an error while trying to update from ios 4.3.3 to 5.1.1 b208 the error:" the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"

    This often happens when iTunes is not up to date.  Try updating iTunes to the latest version, then try updating your phone again.

  • "The iPod ... could not be updated because it could not be found" on Mac?

    I just updated to the latest version of QuickTime and was notified that there was a new iPod update but when I try to update it I get the message:
    "The iPod "My Name's iPod" could not be updated because it could not be found."
    I tried to remove the iPod Software Update folder, but that didn't work.
    I also tried to restore the iPod too, but I got the same error message??
    I see documents for Windows on this error message about the firmware being corrup bug not for Macs.
    What's going on??

    Well, back again... a new iTunes and QuickTime update via Software Update and it got my iTunes in the same state again after the web installation. DOH! I reinstalled both QT and iTunes again to fix the issue again. I can't be the only one that this is happening to so just reiterate the fix works but that I'm beginning not to trust the Software Update versions of the installers for QT and iTunes. There IS a difference and it's a buggy result of not being able to find the iPod afterward. Next time I get the prompt to update I'm going to refuse and then download it from the website.
