Error during updating - phone will not update to newer O.S.

    WHile trying to update to newer OS get two messages - First that I have purchased items that are not transfered to ITunes library - I just chick continue....
Then backup starts but always freezes at two (2) bars then I get the failure message.     SOME BACKGROUND - This is not the "original" computer that
I originally installed with my IPhone - that hard drive became infected with a virus and had to be reformatted - Things have not been the same since. Not all my
contacts from the IPhone end up in my mail contact box in outlet express.... some are missing - most are there....   ????

I'm having the same problem, I tried to update to whatever the last version was as I hadn't got that 33mb update yet, during the process my phone froze. I tried to unfreeze my phone by giving it a hard reboot (holding the home and power button) but now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.
I tried various programs that provide a "recovery mode fix" none worked.
Manually downloaded the latest ipsw as I failed five times from 5AM to try and get iTunes to download the latest version and restore my phone.
When I try to restore to iOS 8 I get "this iPhone could not be restored (error 2003)" and it has been like this for 12 hours. 12 hours I've been without a phone and all I wanted to do was update my software? What a joke. I have no idea how I'm going to fix this as literally everything I have tried has failed.

HT4623 phone will not update error code1015

I am currently having problems with my I phone
it will not update and has frozen on the itunes logo
Thanks in advance for any help

1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
network database was corrupted during the process.

Phone will not sync to new pc. dont want to sync and loose data on phone

I loaded software on my pc – pc was stolen – all info is on my phone but not new pc. New pc has a different name and now phone will not sync and keep current info, I don’t want to lose my data on phone. I have changed my password many times – if I use new password in Itunes store on pc it works but will not work on phone. Apple ID is different on phone. How do I fix all of this?

It seems that I have multiple ID’s and 2 email addresses. My email address changed and I did so on iTunes but when going on to store it asks for password and still shows old email address. ID on iphone is the old email address and I don’t remember the password. How do I fix this. I cannot login on iTunes on my phone.

After ios7 update, phone will not unlock even after 3 button reset?

I have an iPhone 5. Ever since the 7 update, when I lock my phone it will not unlock. Then i have to use the 3 button reset ( home, lock, volume ) to restart it. But more often then not, I have to let my phone sit for hours for it to restart because I cant restart it manually. Anybody else having this issue?

Error -208! iPod will not update photos!!

My iPod doesn't update my Photos at all. When I plug in the iPod I immediately get the Error -208 message, it skips over the photo update, and moves right to the music update, which the music updates just fine, but not the photos. Any solutions?
I took my iPod to Apple Store a few weeks ago to see what they would say. We tested it out on a computer there and it updated everything perfectly of course, so they couldn't do anything for me. They told me to try and rebuild my iPhoto library when I got home, so I tried that, but it didn't work.

Error -208 is a java error, I believe. You may want to reinstall java on your computer. If that doesn't help, maybe reinstalling iTunes will . . .
Good luck!

Phone will not update apps

I am having an issue with trying to update my apps on my phone. When I try to update it, I put in my password then it notes that it is updating then it kicks me out and it will not accept my password. I have reset my phone, change my password,and hooked my phone up to the computer to do any back-ups. My phone has backup on to my computer so I know its not a space issue. If anyone has any idea on how I can get my apps to update normlly it would be appreciate.
Thank you!!

Hello kthomps4,
I have a few recommendations for you on this issue. First I recommend that you restart the iPhone
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
From iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430.
If that does not quite fit the bill then I recommend Deleting the apps and downloading them again. If you would rather not do that, you can attempt the restore again if you choose. iTunes: Restoring iOS software http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
Take care,
Sterling

HT201210 my i phone will not update because the firmware file is not compatible what does that mean?

I am trying to run an update on my iphone and I received an error saying the firmware file is not compatible. What does that mean?

Navigate to this folder and delete any and all .ipsw files you find. You will have to turn on "show all hidden files & folders" to see them:
OSX:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Vista & 7:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Turn off or disable ALL security software & any firewalls. Make sure you're using a high powered USB port directly on your computer...no hubs, if a desktop use a port on the back of your computer. Disconnect ALL other USB devices.
Try again.

My phone will not update to 3.1 says server time out or network settings

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to be able to update to 3.1. I have done it several times as I am supposed to, but it keeps telling me there is an error or timeout that I need to check my network settings or try again later. I have tried it on several occasions and keep getting the same thing

I am experiencing the same issue. Several retries. Works fine on my 3G, but not on my wife's original iPhone. Hope to see an answer here soon.
Firewall settings are fine and have been unchanged. Two different iPhones with different results, so I doubt it's a firewall issue.

HT4623 My phone works well on calls and text, but when I'm not on wifi, my phone will not update with 3G data. My phone is receiving the signal.

My phone works well with every function except when I want to use my data service. I show that I am getting a strong signal, but nothing will update when I am off wifi.

Is Cellular Data enabled in Settings > General > Cellular?
Do you have a data plan with your carrier?
Have you contacted the carrier to rule out issues with their network or provisioning of the account?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
