Error updating to iOS 5.1

Help!
I can't download iOS 5.1! I tried everything from restoring to changing the DNS. Tried on iPod and over wifi and Ethernet on iTunes.
On my iPod it says error occurred while trying to update. In iTunes in say network connection could not be established but it works if I try to go on the Internet!
Please help!

  • IPad failing to update to iOS 6

    Whenever I try to update my iPad to iOS 6 directly from my iPad it always says error updating to ios 6

    Update using iTune (computer)
    Connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates. Backup before you proceed with update.

  • "No sim installed" error after updating to iOS 5.1

    A notification popped up this morning asking me to update to iOS 5.1 so I updated it. Once I downloaded and installed it, it said "no sim installed". I have rebooted my phone, taken out and put back in the sim but the error message remains. I can't make calls or message, but my internet works. Anything else I can try?

    i have the same problem with the 4s.  I have a (cutdown) sim from virgin (in the UK), who do not offer the iphone, but it worked perfectly until this upgrade (to ios 5.1).  The phone was bought unlocked from apple.  now i have the no sim error.  I am trying a restore and have booked a genius bar appt for later today.  I have a very expensive touch at present.  The sim is working fine in my old nokia, so it is not the sim that is faulty.  What is going on here, why would i want to upgrade if this just creates problems.  I have been up since 5am now trying to sort this so i have a phone again.

  • Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:  First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

    Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: 
    First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".  I'm not sure what this really means...
    The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
         The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC".  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music.  I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it.

  • I just updated to iOS 8 on my iPad 2 and got an error then factory reset! Now I cannot see my Purchased Apps

    I just updated to iOS 8 on my iPad 2 and due to a unforeseen error on iTunes I had to do factory reset. I was using my friend's iMac iTunes to download and update, instead of OTA. Now I'm unable to see my previously purchased apps (some even discontinued that I was hanging on to as they still kind of worked)... Even after I logged into App store on my iPad (tried restoring iCloud and iTunes but no luck, somehow there isn't any backup)! I checked my App Store updates/purchases and see nothing. A forum suggested I try buying it anyway and it will say I already have it and not double charge, but I don't want to take that chance as most of these apps are over $4. I have receipts for all my purchases. Please help!

    When you do an update via a computer's iTunes the update process will backup the device (a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings), wipe the device, install the update, and then restore the backup - the restore would look to pick up your apps, music, films etc from the iTunes library.
    You've tried logging out (tap on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app) and back in and seeing if they then show in the Purchased tab, and you could also check to see if the apps are hidden from Purchased : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
    If an app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it. You haven't got copies of your apps in your own computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library ?

  • HT1414 If I Restore my iPod Touch, will I be able to restore to a backup afterwards (in the process of updating to iOS 5 in the event of error code -43)

    I have just got ready to sync to a new computer (my old one got restored and all backups were lost ) and update to iOS 5.
    I finally manage to recreate my old iTunes library on my new computer and transfer my purchases, sync my iPod an dback it up.
    With all that done, I go on to update to iOS 5... But low and behold I get error code -43 "An error occurred while backing up this iPod-43 Would you like to continue to updte this iPod? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod"
    I have seen this solution to the problem on another section of the forum:
    ---dex12
    This solved my questionRe: iOS Update error  -43 
    I restored my phone to original setting. (backed up before I did this)
    It then installed iOS 5 automatically, and then I got the option to set up as a new phone or use last back up...so didn't lose anything.----
    I have backed up my iPod touch, and am ready to restore, but amm worried that if I do restore, I won't be able to restore back to my backup afterwards, this will mean losing some data. I just need confirmation that I will be able to get "the option to set up as a new phone or use last back up," as i really don't want to restore and find myself with an empty iPod.
    If it possible to do this, please coudl someone post a step-by-step guide on how to update using the afformentioned method, just to give me (and many others) peace of mind.

    When you restore an iOS device the IOS version that will be on the iPod after the restore is the latest available for that model device. For the 4G iPod that would be 6.1.6

  • Error while trying to update to ios 5

    I keep getting an error while trying to update to iOS 5. I update iTunes this morning to the lastest version so I know that isn't the problem. I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, but contine getting "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknow error occurred (3194)." PLease help! Thanks in advance

    I am also getting the error 43 when the update tries to back the phone up. Im using the latest version of itunes. This is on an iphone4, I am in the UK.
    I tried deleting all of the historical backups to see if a fresh backup folder helps. It did not.
    Ive tried running iTunes in 'administrator' mode on my Windows 7 machine. This made no difference.
    Ive tried putting the phone in airplane mode. No difference.
    I tried getting it into restore mode just to see if it worked on a iphone4. However it did not seem to want to do it.
    Im not not too sure about proceeding with this update as I done want to loose any of the apps I have. (or 3 my 3 stars in every angry birds level on all 3 versions of the game!!)
    Please someone, HELP !! !!

  • Error while updating to ios 6 -43

       I'm updating from ios 4.3 to 6 and while my iPod (4th gen) was backing up I got this message.
    An error occured while backing up this iPod (-43)
    Would you like to continue to update this iPod?
    Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod.
    Would I be able to get my things back if I continue? I don't want to restore it.

  • Error codes 3014, 14, 11 while updating to iOS 5

    Ok, I realize that the apple servers are down for updating to iOS 5.  My problem is the fact that I cant even restore my iphone without getting at least 1 error code.  The error codes are  3014,14 and 11.  I have googled all 3 of these to find any type of solution and Im coming up empty.  Another annoying aspect is that after I receive the error codes, I will get the "connect to itunes" message on my phone and when iTunes detects my phone, it says that its in recovery mode and needs to be restored before being used with iTunes.  I have tried to restore it at least 20+ times but I keep getting the same error messages and codes over and over and over again.
    So am I supposed to just sit tight and wait for apple's servers to come back online or has this update severely damaged my iphone???

    Well after trying for 9 straight hours, I was finally able to get iOS 5 to work and update.  In all honesty, the only thing I did differently was restart my computer.  Now, I dont know if that is THE fix for all of these problems but after 9 hours, I was willing to try anything. 
    Once I restarted my computer, i started iTunes, plugged in my phone, got the usual error message that my phone needed to be restored.  After that, it was smooth sailing from there.  I just let iTunes and my iPhone do its thing and it restored and updated like nothing had happened.  It even saved 99.9% of all of the stuff I had on my phone prior to the update.  The .01% are safari bookmarks which werent a big deal.  But all of my photos, contacts, app settings and evertything else was there. 
    Hope this works for you!  Good luck.
