Downloaded IOS8 but it didnt install- Update is keeping me over the 4.6 GBs i need

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 4s that I was trying to update to IOS8 last night. I deleted enough things to free up the memory to download the update. Once I did, the update downloaded but took a long time on the "preparing update" portion with the progress bar stuck at about half. Since it was taking so long I went to sleep. I woke up this morning with no IOS8 running on my phone and now the update has taken up enough space that I dont have the 4.6GBs free anymore. I'm not deleting anymore stuff so: How do I delete the update or get the thing to install?
Any ideas?

Hello Sophie,
I think you should update to the highest level for your particular OS. Follow these suggestions and be aware it is a big (but free) update.
Once you are on Snow Leopard 10.3 to 10.6 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Click on this ☟
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
and when it is installed follow by going to software update to pick up the later security and iTunes improvements. This update should see you with the Garage band version for that 10.6.8 OS.

Itunes 8 downloads ok but won't install (not updating)

Hi everyone.
Got an ipod for xmas, downloaded itunes 8 for 1st time (not updating), downloads ok, but when opening install program, "open file - security warning" dialog box opens, i click on run, the "unidentified program wants access to your computer" dialog box opens, i click the allow button, i get the 'thinking' cursor for 1 second then nothing happens.
I'm running it as an adminstrator, i've tried running the program in xp service pack 2 mode, i've redownloaded it 3 times, same thing every time i try. not a 64bit machine, i get no errors, it just does nothing.
The file i download is 67,146kb so something is actually there, can anybody please help, this is frustrating and my new ipod is a paperweight.

Hi Polydorus - Happy New Year!!! Thanks for your time and reply.
Yes i have a 32bit version of windows vista (premium)
Yes i downloaded itunes from the apple site, saved it and when i try to run it i get the hourglass for 1 second then nothing.
Looked in the task manager and nothing is running.
Never had any problem installing anything else or anything windows related.
I have spybot (rescanning now) and my antivirus is Nod32 so no risk of anything there. I even tried installing in safe mode, but no luck.
I am running firefox, not I.E. but that shouldn't matter.
I realize this is where people with problems come to gripe, but there seems to me to be a LOT of problems associated with itunes?
Spybot found nothing, Nod32 is Hey?????
While typing this, i was downloading Quicktime from the link you sent to test if that works, the file I've downloaded was named itunes setup(2) shouldn't it be quicktime?????? Guess it automatically called it (2) cause i already got itunes setup in my download folderit's the exact same size as the itunes setup file i've been downloading??????
Now the apple website actually says thanks for downloading Quicktime 7 not a thing about itunes.
Click on the download now link on the site you sent me, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ wants to download me the itunes file not quicktime??? Try it !!
Maybe the people at apple got on the grog a bit before Christmas???
NOW itunes is installed AND RUNNING !!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE ..... ???????????
This is really weird.
Will connect ipod and see if this actually works or is a mirage and repost results.
That might be a fix, download it from the quicktime download link???????????, or rename it with a (2) ????

i have ipod version of 3.1.3 i also download itunes 10.3 but i didnt get updated version in ipod

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device, and all devices will be updated to the latest compatible iOS version.
The original iPhone and first generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 3.1.3.

When trying to install update 10.5 it says the download has invalid signature and won't install. I run XP

when trying to install update 10.5 it says the download has invalid signature and won't install. I run XP

I'm having similar problems with 10.5. I managed to install it but when I try to run itunes it doesn't open correctly and when I view my account the screen is not presented in the correct format. When I try to search for music it finds nothing. So I ran the diagnostics option but this came back with an error ' secure link to itunes failed'. It also said that the internet connection was verified but when I went into the help option it said I wasn't connected to the internet but as you can see I was and am. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, each time I uninstall I've followed the correct sequence as recommended:-
1. Itunes
2. Quicktime
3. Apple software update
4. Apple mobile device support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple application support
I've noticed now that 'quicktime' didn't get reinstalled, not sure if that's the problem. Also when I rebooted after the last Uninstall I received a new error message ' Applesyncnotifier.exe - unable to locate component'. I've also noticed that my CPU is running at 50% according to task manager when I've got apple loaded, but it goes down to less than 20% when it's uninstalled and even goes down to 0%. Clearly, there are a number of people with similar issues and Apple need to sort it quickly.

If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

Due to total restore on my macbook 10.6.8 I have lost imovie. Trying to download it but can only find updates, any suggestions would be grateful.

With your machine you should have received a couple of disks, one of which has application software or even a separate iLife disk...use that to reinstall the iLife software and update from there.

I downloaded lion but it wont install, it says that the software has been tampered with. But i downloaded from the app store.

Did NOT download iOS8 but having cellular issues. What can I do?

I never downloaded iOS8, but just this morning (around 8am) I started having cellular issues. It keeps "Searching..." and never finding my network. Wi-fi works just fine. What gives?!
I saw the annoucements that they pulled the upgrade, and that people should downgrade to get their phones to work again. My problem is that I don't have anything to downgrade to, because I never downloaded iOS8.
Should I upgrade to iOS8 to get my network to work again?

I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen, so I want to remove this

I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen, so I want to remove this download sign. How can I get this done? Please help me.

Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.

Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download and install has completed.

Plug it into your computer and restore it using iTunes.

When trying to install updates, I get this message:The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)(102). What does that mean?

It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.
What updates? Here is a link for iTunes which worked for me.
iiTunes 11.1.0
