Can't download latest iPhone 4 software update, keeps timing out, why?

I am trying to update iPhone 4 software.  It goes about 20 minutes then says the server timed out.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

Single biggest cause of this is security software on your computer: Anti-Virus software, Firewalls, etc. Try turning off or completely disabling all of that stuff.

  • Iphone 4.3 software update keeps timing out when attempting to download.

    I have tried several times (at least 6) to download the new 4.3 software. It goes all the way through the download process and when it goes to install it, it says that it has "timed out". I have a secure wireless connection and it has not been disconnected or interupted any of the times. Is there a setting I need to change or what? There are several apps I cannot use because 4.3 will not download. PLEASE HELP!!

    Listen, I for one can assure you that I do not use 'HALF* programs' or equipment, it is a great insult you say this, to all who spend big bucks to use Apple Ipod's and pay your wages to work for Apple. I know that programers who write these updates are individuals who are very highly intelligent in their field. For them to take nanosecond and provide a little more time to keep all users safe, even the ones who may use your so called 'Half* programs" safe, they still pay good money to use iTunes, Apple products.
    Here is a suggestion, make the updates alittle smaller, AND a whole lot less attitude from customer service people we are only asking a question.
    Have a good day.

  • HT4623 Where can I download other iPhone software updates?

    I am trying to find 6.1.4 software update, does anyone know where to get it?

    Plug your phone into iTunes and perform the update that way. iTunes will automatically download the current version for your phone.
    Or you can update over the air if you're already running iOS 5 or later.
    There are no other legitimate sources.

  • Software Update keeps timing out on QuickTime 7.1.6

    Three different Macs (MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac PPC) all with the same problem.
    Software updater times out, downloading directly from apple.com has the same problem.

    Anyone have any similar kind of problem?

  • Can't download latest AppleTV software update

    I keep getting error message "unable to complete". I have tried both manual and automatic updates. I have rebooted several times. What else can I do? It seems to be affecting the ability to rent films too, as they start to play the time-out. Help!

    Connect the ATV to a computer running iTunes via a microUSB cable and restore it as new.

    Hi
    Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
    And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
    I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

    OK.  If both of you are Windows 7.  Make sure you go to Windows update (START button, type in Windows Update). Check for updates and update whatever that are available. (especially Microsoft .NET Framework 4 )
    After that see if you still get this error message.
    The last resort would be to unistall and reinstall the whole thing.
    Follow the steps below:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • How to do a delayed download for iPhone Software Update

    How do i use a "download manager" to download a iPhone Software Update at a specified later time? 
    i.e. delay my download until after 2 a.m. when Hughesnet Fair Access Policy allows me to download such large files...
    Alternatively, can I download iPhone Software Updates from somewhere other than iTunes?

    Only your carrier can unlock a phone.  Contact the carrier.

  • Can't restore 3G - "iPhone software update server could not be contacted"

    it no longer accepts my original passcode.
    i've managed to get the phone in to recovery mode but when i try and restore it, i get a message saying: "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The network connection timed out."
    i proceeded to installed the latest version of iTunes; and turned off my firewall. i also rebooted the computer - to no avail.

    hope that works - fingers crossed!
    thanks for your help!

  • Docking iPhone to IMac Since Latest iPhone Software Update

    Since the latest iPhone software version(1.0.2) was downloaded, whenever I dock my iPhone into its charging/syncing dock connected to my iMac, I get the "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone' box, asking me to switch to Airplane Mode. I just select "no" and continue. When I got my iPhone, I had a Windows PC running XPPro, but the coolness of the iPhone converted me to Apple and the new iMac. Is anyone else having this problem, or is there a work around? It's kind of anoying. Thanks.

    Thanks Nathan C. I've also noticed that occasionally when I dock the iPhone for syncing and click on sync, that the iTunes message bar at the tope of the screen is working saying "syncing iPhone", but it just keeps working without anything happening. When this happens I either kill the sync with the slider on the iPhone, or try to eject the iPhone from iTunes, or I have to reboot the iPhone. Then I try syncing again, and it seems to work as it should. Is this happening to anyone else? I wonder if it could be related to the issue with my iPhone dock. Any ideas? If it gets "stuck" during syncing, what is the best way to stop the sync and try it again?
