Error message when trying to get iOS 4

When I click the "Update" button in iTunes, in the Summary tab when my iPhone is plugged in, I get an error message that says "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version." (I have Mac OS 10.4.11, so that's the most current version of iTunes I can support.) But I'm not trying to update iTunes, I'm trying to update iOS. iTunes seems to have its wires crossed? I've never had this problem until recently.

Hello chindeepchow,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Why am i getting error message when trying to install iOS 7.0.3 to iPhone 5? It just won't download.

Why am i getting an error message when trying to download and install iOS 7.0,3 to iPhone 5?

If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes. First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone. It asked if i wanted to install it. I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
So therein is the answer. Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
There is no bug. While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes. Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors. That's not a function specifically of the device.

HT201210 keep getting error message when trying to update iOS to 5.1.1

I have had no trouble updating the several iPads under my charge at work, however can't update my own. Am using iOS 5.1 currently on original iPad. I go to settings and it looks for any updates available and I click install to 5.1.1 but keep getting error message saying there was an error when trying to update. I am on my home wifi on my iPad. Have done same procedure with about 5 other iPads with no trouble. What can I do?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Why am I getting an error message when trying to download iOS 6.0.1?

Given that iOS 6 and 6.0.1 have been out for a good few days now, why am I still getting an error message? Is it simply a case of keep trying??

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I am getting this error message when trying to get to a college webpage Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.

I am trying to get to a college webpage for information and get this error message from firefox Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== whe trying to access webpage

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.

Constant error message when trying to download iOS 5.1

Why am i getting error messages when trying to get email, why am i getting error messages when trying to get email

For the last two evening, my email has not been coming through with Comcast email. I get error messages like unable to verify user name and password or connection to the server has timed out. I have done a soft reset, deleted the email account and reinstalled but nothing works.

I had this same problem happen to me about 3 weeks ago or so. I'm with Rogers in Canada (iPhone 4).
Out of nowhere I started having errors with both of my email accounts on my phone (Hotmail, Gmail) which I had been using without problem since I got the phone in October 2010. I tried re-entering settings, removing and setting them up from scratch again, all to no avail. First it was Hotmail but Gmail shortly followed. I could, however, check both of these emails via a browser on a computer, so I knew those services weren't both down.
It also happened on two different wi-fi networks and with 3G.
Then as sure as it started, it ended. It was after about 6-10 days that all my email returned to normal.
If you've only had it happen for a few days now, I'd give it maybe another week and see if it goes away. I know this isn't a fix, and I was never able to find an explanation for the problem.

what error message?

TS3694 getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my itouch. All PC software is currect, I have disconnected all USB ports and even turned off all security and still get a 3014 error. I got this after I upgraded to IOS 10.7.0.21

I am getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my iTouch after upgrading to 10.7.0.21. Everything worked fine until the upgrade.My PC is current with upgrades, I have unplugged all USB connections and I have disabled my firewall security.

Did you try this:
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
