  • Backup error when installing iOS 6 on iPhone 4

    My girlfriend has iOS 4 on her iPhone 4. She had not registered her iPhone via iTunes. Last night we installed the new version of iTunes and registered her phone while syncing data.
    When we tried to install iOS6, we got a message that backup failed and that if we continue all data would be lost.
    What do we do?

  • IOS updates - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2.  How can I fix this?

    IOS error messagge - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2.  How can I fix this?

    Which way are you trying to update? WiFi or iTunes? In either case, I would try restarting/rebooting all devices and then try again.
    IF you are using iTunes, eject your iPad, quit iTunes, reboot your computer and reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. After the iPad starts up, connect to iTunes and try again. You may also want to disable your firewall and antivirus software when you try to update using iTunes. Sometimes those will interfere with the download.
    If you are using WiFi, reset the iPad as described above and try again.
    If WiFi updating will not work, try using iTunes, if iTunes will not work, try using WiFi.

  • Mount error when installing xcode 3 and iOS 4

    Hi,
    I ran into mount error when installing xcode 3.2.6 and iOS 4.3 downloaded from https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/xcod e_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3__final/xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg.

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for your advice! I would try to clean up for more free space. I just downloaded one dmg from another website linking to apple. I could successfully install that one, but very often the content in gdb window is empty. Even if the gdb works for some time initially, after loading some specific project, the gdb doesn't provide info any longer :-( Any idea?
    It might be the best season in Shenzhen now. It is sunny, but not hot, with temperature from 25 degree centigrade to 30.

    If your iPad screen is frozen with that message on it, try rebooting your iPad.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • An error occurred installing iOS 5.0.1

    Getting the following message when trying to update:  "An error occurred installing iOS 5.0.1"
    I can't seem to clear it or proceed past it.  Any suggestions.
    (iPhone 4)

    I updated my iPhone 4 iOS 5 to iOS 5.0.1 through iTunes today, and it did not complete - gave an error. Now my iPhone is in recovery mode, and cannot start/use my phone. I have tried turnnig it off/on few times. The only option that iTunes has now is to Restore back to Factory Settings..Really ?
    I never expected Apple to come up with such crappy software in the first place and then with an update in such a haste which it seems was not tested properly.
    Can anyone suggest a way to recover my iPhone back to normal usable state with all my data intact ?
    I am beginning to hate iPhone...

    Hi Josephineapo,
    If you are trying to update your iPhone over-the-air rather than through iTunes, and you are having issues with installing it, then I'd like you to please follow the steps outlined below.
    If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
    Update does not complete
    If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
    When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
    If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.

  • How do I resolve, "An error occurred installing iOS 8.1.2?"

    I am trying to install iOS 8.1.2.  The OS downloaded fine.  When I select Install, I receive the message, "Verifying update."  I then receive a pop-up with the message, "An error occurred installing iOS 8.1.2."  I am given the option to Close or Setting on the pop-up.  Both options simply close the pop-up.  I need further help to figure out how to install 8.1.2.
    Thanks,

  • Error when downloading iOS 6.1.2

    I am trying to download iOS 6.1.2 on a new iPad 2 and my internet connection was interrupted, so the installation stopped.  Now when I try to download the update, a box pops up "Unable to Install Update : An error occurred installing iOS 6.1.2"  ??  How do i download the update??

    What iOS are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Thanks for sharing. 
    If you want help with that, you'll have to provide a lot more information, such as when you got the message, the EXACT wording (including any numbers), and what state your phone is in now.
