Fair To Presume That An Update Wouldn't Render A Phone Useless

This is now turning into an all-day mistake. I use my phone for business purposes and Apple should have/could have anticipated something like this. At least warning if not completely preventing existing iPhone users from updating. The gem here is that I, like so many others, could without issue update my iTunes, and then download the 2.0 iPhone software. It is obvious by these threads that by the time I did this, Apple was already experiencing serious server issues. To not post a warning that the next step, installation of the 2.0 software would carry risk of operation is inexcusable. I work in electronics and I cannot think of any other mission critical device that would be rendered completely useless after all downloads and all installs are complete. A simple warning would have gone a long way.

While Android 2.0 is a min requirement, the cpu the phone or tablet or such device has is what makes the (huge) difference on whether current release of mobile Firefox will work or not.
You mean the '''HTC Droid Eris''' which is a modified variant of the HTC Hero.
Sorry but this phone is not compatible with the current mobile Firefox releases due to the ARMv6 (ARM11) CPU it uses (Qualcomm MSM7600A) when the releases work on ARMv7 cpu's. If it is not in Market then it likely means the hardware is not compatible.
You can perhaps try the experimental ARMv6 nightlies (Fennec).

HT1766 I'm trying to update my iphone 4. I've put everything from the pho ne into itunes for backup. I can see that the updated OS is on the phone, but only for a second until the phone asks me again how I want to restore my stuff. three times

I'm updating my iphone 4. I can see that the update has been installed on the phone, but only for a second before it asks me to restore/back up from iCloud or iTunes, which I've done THREE times. It has to be something really simple...please HELP

Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

Now that I updated my operating system my phone won't stay logged into my wifi

SInce I updated phone to the new operating system it won't stay logged into my wifi anyone know what I need to do??

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.

This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

Every time I start Firefox in an unpriveleged login I get an error box saying that an update installation has failed, even when it's up to date.

Firefox 19.0.2; on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 build 2600.xpxp_sp3_gdr_130105-0416.
I normally work using minimal privileges - so the user from which I mostly run Firefox doesn't have sufficient privilege to install a Firefox update. Now and again I log in as a privileged user, start firefox, and grab the latest version. However it happens quite frequently that Firefox goes into a mode where on Firefox startup I get an error window saying that it failed to install the update. When that window is dismissed, Firefox starts up and of course it's the latest version. Nothing I have tried appears to have any effect on this, but always after some period of time - in which I will have logged in and out a few times and probably started and stopped Firefox dozens of times - for no reason that I can discern it stops producing this error message and begins to start up without the error. This lasts a few days, and then it reverts to getting the error message.
In case it's useful to anyone, the error window is labelled
Dh'fhàillig ùrachadh a' bhathar-bhuig
which translates roughly to "The software's update failed"
and the text in the window is
Cha do ghabh an t-ùrachadh a stàladh. Dèan cinnteach nach eil lethbhreac eile de Firefox a' dol air a' choimpiutair agad is ath-thòisich Firefox an uairsin is feuch ris a-rithist.
which is roughly "The update couldn't be installed. Make certain no other copy of Firefox is running on your computer and then restart Firefox and try again".
I have of course done what the window tells me; it has no effect (if it had that would mean the OS security was broken) which is a good thing but suggests that the message in the window is a bad thing. I also tried updateing from the Firefox help menu (and was relieved to see that didn't work). Using a priileged user to install the update gives the unprivileged user the latest version, but doesn't ,ake the startup message go away.
I have a suspicion that what is happening is that Firefox running in unprivileged mode finds a security update, downloads it, and fails to install it, instead of recognising that it's running in unprivileged mode and just warning the user than an update is available; once it has done that the update remains downloaded in the unprivileged user's space, and even when the update is installed by the privileged user so that all users now have the updated version Firefox tries to install it despite its being already installed whenever the unprivileged user starts it up. If so, that would be a rather unpleasant problem, since it would tend to encourage people always to login with sysadmin privileges.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Hi why when i plug in my ipad to my macbook the apps wont update that need updating on macbook and ipad

Hi i am baffled as to why when i have apps sitting in my Itunes on the Macbook that need updating used to start straight away once i plugged in the ipad or iphone ,now all updates on ipad or iphone i do manually same with the macbook .Any help would be most grateful thanks guys..

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

When i try to do a software update, it finishes and then says that the update cannot be saved because it has probably been corrupted during the download. This has happened a number of times and i do not know why, any help?

I recently just opened my own itunes account. I thought I added it to my iphone. However everytime I go to update my apps on my phone it keeps asking for my old itunes account password. How do I change that?

For what reason was a new iTunes account created?
Content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the account it was acquired with.

Tell your wife to get her own Apple ID. If you do not want continuity/handoff to work with calls, on both devicesgo to Settings==>>FaceTime==>> Turn OFF iPhone cellular calls.

HT5622 I updated new software on my phone and now can't use it because its asking for a 4 digit security code that I don't know. How do I find this number?

I updated new software on my Apple 4S phone and now can't use it because it requires a 4 digit security code that I don't know. The phone store when I originally bought phone bypassed it for me. How do I find it?

Hey dentallady!
Here is an article that can help you reset this code:

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
