Can't update iPhone 3G software through iTunes
When I plug my iPhone 3G into my (PowerBook G4) and access iTunes, iTunes alerts me that the OS on my iPhone can be updated to OS4. Just click the "Update" button, it says. But when I do that the message: "This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version." Huhh....????
The current version on my iPhone is 3.1.3. It says OS4 is available. But it seems to think I want to update my iTunes software.
Anyone?
I am going to restart everything again just to see if that helps.
Thanks.
I am running OS 10.4.11. But I don't have iTunes 9.2. I have iTunes 9.1.1. Guess I should update iTunes first. I'll do that now. Thanks, gdgmacguy.

How can I update Xperia neo software through mac?
Hi, I got myself the Xperia Neo last July (great choice btw). Now it wants me to update the software. Okay, no problem, I thought. Well, thought wrong, problem occured. I'm having a Mac and no PC so.... what to do now? Any suggestions?
Unfortunately you can only update the handsets software using a PC as we do not develop software for the Mac computer to be able to achieve this task.

How do I turn on iphone after trying to update software through itunes on computer?
Normally when updating while connected to your computer running iTunes the iPhone will go through the complete update process and then restart. It will vibrate when it is finished restarting.

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?
I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back. Any idea how can I do that?
After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3? -
Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help
My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how? -
while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?
Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 -

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?
The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?
Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?
Yeah, I have this problem too. Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad. Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad. I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
But that's a terrible workaround. I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.
