Can't stay connected to iTunes long enough to update iPhone

I have a lot of line noise and every time I connect my new iPhone 3GS to iTunes, to upgrade from iOS 3.13, after about 20 min, my internet drops out for 10 to 30 sec, the download stops, then I have to start from the beginning again.   Being only able to update the phone, by iTunes and not haveing the ability to independantly download the upgrade, means that I have been trying for the past 5 or 6 hours, and have reconnected and started over again, for about 10 or more attempts. 
I wish there was a direct link, file download, that I could get instead of having to have the phone connected to iTunes.    I understand that for iOS 5 and above, you can update independantly?   Help......   (yes, I have had issues with my internet connection, reported and spent days and a LOT of time waiting on phone to get it sorted out, so far, the best I can do is only have the internet on for 10 min, or 30 min, then have it disconnect for 10 to 30 sec, up to hours at a time due to a bad phone line that Telstra seems to have a problem fixing.....)  

I live half way between Sydney and Brisbane...  aprox... 5 hour +/- in either direction...  Don't think Apple have a store in Port Macquarie.   Not sure how JB Hi-Fi would like it if I asked them to update my phone, and have to wait around for 2 hours?!

  • Photosmart eStn C510a Zeen won't stay connected to network long enough to update software

    My network connection to my printer works fine; but the zeen connection is intermittent.  And will not stay connected long enough to download the software update that it shows is available.  Sure wish I could use the USB port on the zeen to accomplish this software update.  Even though I do not know if it will fix my intermittent connection problem.  I have tried many resets and re-adding my network and re-syncing .....etc.   

    Hi HankF,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C510a and the Zeen doesn't seem to be staying connected to your network very steadily. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will do my best to help you.
    Is the printer's connection also intermittent? When the Zeen won't connect, are you still able to print something from the computer?
    How close is the Zeen to the router? Has it always been intermittent, or is this a newer development?
    Once I have this information I should be able to offer some suggestions

  • IPod Touch can't stay connected to iTunes

    I just bought an iPod touch but when I try to connect it to my WinXP laptop, it won't stay connected for more than a few seconds. I hear the iPod make a sound when it sees that it is connected to my laptop and it appears in the iTunes list for 10-30 seconds before disconnecting. After several tries to stay connected, sometimes iTunes claims that it can't connect to the "iPhone" and gives me an error 0xE8000001.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. No success.
    I tried different USB ports. No success.
    It seemed to work fine for the first few days after purchase but now this problem has come up

    Hi, DJSchmike. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes disconnecting your older iPod nanos automatically.  This can be difficult to troubleshoot and you have already processed some great steps with no resolution.  The next step would be troubleshooting USB connections and security software conflicts.  Here are some troubleshooting guides that I would recommend going through.

  • Can not stay connected to Airport express

    I have an airport exress that is less then 9 months old.  I have my internet provide wirlessely so my macbook pro picks up the signal and i share it with the airport exress.  With the AE set to bridge mode.  This was all working fine for the last 3 months, but now for some reason I can not stay connected with any of my devices wirelessly with the AE.  I try to connect with my Iphone 4s and when i click on the network to connect i never recieve a check mark on the left all it does is give me the moving circle.  I try to search the web on the phone and it will work for a second then not work for who know how long then work for a second ect.... i have hard rebooted the AE, reset network settings in my phone, reset smc and pram.  when i access the ae through airport utility on my mac the internet shows green and the AE show amber becuase it says it does not have a valid ip address.  I access the AE from my phone and the AE shows the same and the internet will go from green to amber and back.  Also it will not stay connected to the AE i try to change setting on the AE through my phone and as long as i do it quickly it works fine, but if i wait anylonger then 10-30 seconds the phone drops the AE and i have to start over even though it will pick it up again with in  a second or two.  this is the same for ipad, three iphones, dell computer, and a android phone. 

    Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
    If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

  • IPod Touch doesn't stay connected to iTunes

    I have two 4th gen iPod Touches.  They are both running iOS 6.0.1.  I have them connected to iTunes 11 wirelessly on my MBP (OS X 10.8.2), which is also connected wirelessly.  Everything goes through my Apple Time Capsule, which has a built-in router.  I also have an iPhone 4 and iPad 3rd gen connected.
    For some reason, the iPods have a difficult time staying connected to iTunes on the MBP.  One in particularly will usually drop off before the 24 hour mark.  The other will hang around for a few days and then drop off.  When I check either iPod, I see the wifi icon in the top left.  Rebooting them causing them to appear back in iTunes on the MBP.
    I did a complete reset/restore as new last night on one of the iPods and this morning it is goes from iTunes.  This is the one that usually drops off earliest.  Is there something particular to iPods that causes them to drop out of iTunes?

    Since not problems with the other network that would temd to indicate a problem with Optimum network. You can try:
    Do other devices now connect OK to Optimum?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem that indicate the Opitmum network is the problem

  • Why can't I connect to itunes store from my imac?

    Can someone help me with staying connected to itunes store? I have a 2 year old imac, updated frequently, and over the past two months I can't connect to itunes store very easily. I get the "network connection was lost. There was an error in the itunes store.Please try again later."
    I'll get this several times in a row, then it'll work once in a while. I'm getting the spinning rainbow circle of death more often also and have to force quit itunes. Downloading is usually incredibly slow if it works too. Didn't used to have any trouble. Could have come after one of the recent itunes updates?

    I'm having the exact same problem.  Itunes worked perfectly until I did the upgrade. (I guess that's why the old saying always holds true, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" ) I've deleted itunes and reloaded several times and it's always the same issue. Even took down my firewall and virus protection to do the reload with no luck.  I also found an older version of itunes and tried to load that one with no luck.
    Some computer Guru please help us!
    Thanks!

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can i just connect to itunes through the ipad?

    Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can I just connect to itunes through the ipad only?

    Vague.
    What are you trying to accomplish?
    The ipad is not a stand alone device.  It is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    You can buy itunes content from your ipad, but you need to transfer it to your computer and included it in your regular backup of your computer.

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
    Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
    I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
    Thanks
