Error 9006 on iPhone 4 Update

I am trying to download the latest version (4.2) for my iPhone 4, but it seems to get stuck about 50Meg in & displaying Error 9006.
I have tried to search for this error code on Apple's site, but with no result.
Any suggestions?

Download the update you are looking for externally from itunes by searching for it via google or wateva
Then place the file in one of the following places:
On Windows XP :
Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
On Windows Vista/Windows 7:
Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
On Mac:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
Next time you start itunes it will detect the update and ask to update.
It is not a solution to the error but it is a way to get round it, It worked great for me
Hope it works for you!

What is error 9006 on iphone 5 update to ios7?

every time i try to update to my phone i run into some kind of error?

Hey rcaudillo,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your Sleep/Wake button. The following article outlines some troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
1. To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
2. To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
3. If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
4. If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
5. Try to lock or unlock the phone.
If you continue to have issues, we may need to isolate the issue further to determine if it is hardware related. The best way to do this would be to restore your iPhone as new:

Error when downloading Iphone update software version 3.1

Have been trying to downlaod and update my Iphone 3Gs to the latest 3.1 software
using Itunes version 9.0.0.70 but after 20-30% I get an error message 3529 which states that my network time session has expired and to check my network settings and it will stop.I will then try downloading it again, and the same thing happens
after downloading about 95Mb of the 306.2MB file. Can someone help me?
And I think its taking abit too long to download this file as the download time
shows about 3-4 hours.

I have a similar problem, My Iphone has gone into recovery mode since trying to install 3.1. I have correct updated software ITunes 9, QT 7.6.4, Safari 4.0.3. My iPhone is in recovery mode and when connected to iTunes it is indicated that the phone software is up to date. To recover the phone there is no option provided except to update the software which is 306 MB (20 hours download time for me). the first time I attempted I got an error after 10 hours. Is there another way to recover my phone?

I keep getting the error message 'error 9006' when i try to update my iphone and ipad with iOS 6.1.2 - HELP

Can any one help me.
I'm having an continued issue with my phone/ipad 2 and updating it.
I've tried (unsuccessfully) 7 or 8 times to update my iphone 4s with the latest update (iOS 6.1.2) but it gets 30 minutes in to the update and then an error message comes up (error 9006) and it gives me no option but to click ok and it.
I've tried using different USB cables, different ports in my laptop, even uninstalling I Tunes and reinstalling and starting again - nothing seems to work.
I've contacted my network provider who's referred me to Apple but they are closed (I'll try again during business hours).
I'm updating it on my laptop using an internet dongle (as i dont have WIFI - All updates have been done like this and i've never had a problem before) and I have windows 7 software..
Is there anyone who's encountered the same issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated?

Error 9006 - Update to iOS for iPad

I have been trying to update my iOS software to 4.2 for my iPad and keep getting the error 9006 and have to start the procedure all over again. Sometimes it gets to 200mb complete, sometimes just 20mb.
I have searched previous forums and cannot find any information to help. I am using Windows Vista with iTunes 10.1
Can someone please help!

Ok! Eureka! I think I've got it!
Quick background. I live in CPT and my parents in DBN. I have an ipad and iphone 3Gs and have had NO problem with downloads. Its important to note though that I have the Telkom 4Meg DSL line that is called their 'fastest - 4096kbps'. My parents have the 'Faster' which is 512kbps -or middle of the road. My dad has been unable to get the updates AT ALL since he got his equipment. Anyway i tried for 2 solid weeks to do the updates on both iphone and ipad to no avail. Kept getting error 9006. We have since discovered that DSL line that they have at home is not operating to even a 1/4 of its supposed 'faster' marketing. In fact when my mother tried to upgrade they said she couldnt because they dont have capacity to do so...yet they still pay the price! Anyway, when I got back to CPT i updated both my dads ipad and iphone in 15 mins and with no error. Thats what made me think its a speed and line error for the area you live in. You need to check if the line is stable and fast enough to do the update. Check that here [if you are in SA] http://www.telkomsa.net/ and go to speed test. My download speed is 1.68Mb/s. So if you want the update, do it in a place that offers the fastest DSL, its a Telkom issue. Hope this helps

i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

Hi Kevin,
The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired. For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

I have an iPhone 5, yesterday it wasn't receiving any signal. I reset it and when it cam back on it said plug into iTunes, i did that but now it comes up with error 9006 and 39. What do i do, i have tried different wires, and different plug

I have an iPhone 5, yesterday it wasn't receiving any signal. I reset it and when it cam back on it said plug into iTunes, i did that but now it comes up with error 9006 and 39. What do i do, i have tried different wires, and different plug in holes, I've left it for the night and tired again this morning.

Error code 9006 is related to the computer's security software settings, 39 is not listed inResolve iOS update and restore errors try turning the security/anti-virus software off if you are using something like that. Then you may need to restore via the recovery mode since that is what the graphic of a USB wire connecting to iTunes means, it has already entered recovery mode...see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for instructions on recovery mode restoring.
