Can't update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5

My iTunes keeps getting all the way through the update, and at the very end pops up with an error code 3194. I've tried everything that I've read to fix it, but I can't seem to get it to work. Can someone please help me. I've been trying to get it to work for about 3 months, but it just wont uptdate. It wont even work for my iPad when I tried it.

So, it wont let me save the hosts file. I don't understand why. I am the administrator, but its telling me that I'm not authorized. Any suggestions? Please and thank you

  • HT4623 How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    Hi Team,
    I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1.  While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected.  Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not.

    You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

    i can't update my iphone 4s to ios 5.1 through my iphone, its state that try again i do'nt know why please help me!

    ***ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!!
    Here are detailed step by step instructions, for these who are not exactly super tech savvy. :-)
    Adjusting you DNS settings work like a charm!
    Google Public DNS IP addresses
    The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    So do this on your IOS iDevice:
    -Go to settings,
    -Then to Wi-Fi,
    -(Find the network your connected to) touch the blue arrow all the way on the right of the Network WiFi Name,
    -Go down to DNS (you will most likey see something like for example: 192.168.254.254, 192.168.1.1) in that field,
    -Totally delete everything in that DNS field,
    -Replace the pervious address with exactly this: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
    -You are all done, just exit out.
    Then just retry to check for updates and all will go smooth, the problem is - I think some ISP's have got certain Apple servers address blocked, or Apple's software servers are not registered correctly to point to the right physical location your IOS iDevice is trying to get the update from, when on certain ISP's networks.  For one I am on Windstream, and it appears they have some kind of problem either blocking or not routing the IP correctly.
    Thank you so much for the instructions
    Worked like a charm, once again thank you..

  • HT4623 how come i can not update my iphone 4 to ios 6

    how come i can not update my iphone 4 to ios 6

    I may be completely wrong, but I think you may need iTunes 10 to update to 6.0 or 6.0.1. I'm also not completely sure what firmware the built-in update feature was implemented, so if all else fails, check the General tab in Settings to see if you can update from the iPhone itself.

  • I can't update my iPhone 4 to IOS 5.1.1

    I tried updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 5.1.1 but everyime I download the software on my phone it fails. So after a few more attempts ( with and without Wifi) I decided to try it on my computer. That also failed. It reccomened I restore to my default setting ( I backed up my phone first) and then try the update from there. But now that I did that I can't restore my phone to default settings or my back up. It keeps telling me to connect to iTunes on my phone, and then on iTunes it's telling me to restore my phone! Help?!

    Try putting it in Recovery Mode.

  • Can't update my iphone 4 to iOS, says check network settings

    Been trying to update for a couple of weeks, I have tried everything I know to do.  HELP!

    I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything was going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process when an error window opened up and said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot after rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot accomplish it to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state of where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me.

  • I can't update an iPhone 4 from IOS 4.2.1 to IOS 6 via iTunes?

    Ive been trying to update my iPhone 4 from version IOS 4.2.1. to version IOS 6.
    I've updated my iTunes to version 11.0.2. and afterwards when told '
    You're currently on version 4.2.1.... update to IOS version 6' and me agreeing and selecting...
    I get a message saying 'backing up'... and it completes... but then when I switch my phone off and
    back on again I'm still on version 4.2.1.!!!!! I've tried three 3 to no avail.
    Is there something I should know. I'm completely stuck. Please help! :-)

    Hi there, Thank you.
    I can only get as far as iTunes> File> Devices and then 'Transfer Purchases' is greyed out.
    (nothing happens if I 'right click' on it either). Backup also greyed out...
    And I'm sorry I don't know how to access the summary page of my phone!

  • HT4972 Can't update my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to anything higher using iTunes

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1. I just want to get to 4.3 or higher because a game I like now requires it. I'd be happy with iOS 4.3... but 6 will do too.  When I connect my iPhone to iTunes, the Update button reads "A newer version of the iPhone software is available (v 6.0)" so one owuld assume that the Update button would get me iOS 6. But when I click on the Update button, it gives me an error message telling me that my version of iTunes (10.6) is current. I don't need to update iTunes, I need to update my iOS and the one button that does that can't tell the two apart. Help!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply... but ugh, this is snow-balling out of control: Just to play a game that requires iOS 4.3, I have to upgrade iTunes, but to upgrade iTunes to 10.7.0.21, we need to upgrade the Mac OS from 10.5 to 10.6.8, which seems to cost $30. If I'm going to spend $30, I wish I could be giving the money to the game developers instead of to buying/getting 2 new OSes that I otherwise didn't need. So does anyone else have any other ways to get my iPhone up to iOS 4.3 (or higher) without all these steps and money?
