Cannot download and install iOS 4.2

I am currently running iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3G. When I sync with iTunes I get the usual update request. Everytime I run it I get a 'network timeout error' and upgrade fails.
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. I have not been able to upgrade iOS since 3.1.3. When I try, backup either hangs up completely or 2 days later has progressed abou 2-5% (1/16 inch on bar) and there is over 4gig free. I finally got it to sync the other night and backup and that took about 4-5 hours. When I clicked to upgrade today, we're back to old problem. What is a genius and where do I find one? All I have near me is an AT&T factory store. Is there a Genius there (HA HA HA)? This is now my only phone so I cannot be without it.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Try updating it on your computer. If you get a message that your iPhone is up to date then you actually have an iPhone 4, not a 4s.
    Settings > General > About > Model number. What does it show?

  • Since downloading and installing iOS 8...

    I downloaded and installed the iOS 8 update and now both my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air have become very sluggish.  Even when I am on my home wifi or when I'm on cellular data at LTE speed, it takes so much longer than usual to access apps such as Facebook, email, etc.  It's very frustrating and I am not happy.  Is there a fix coming for this?  If not, can you tell me how to restore to the previous version so i can use my devices again?

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
