Having issues with 5.0.1 update?  Quite frustrating!

I was prompted yesterday that my phone was ready for an update so, like any normal person with this phone i proceeded.  It took iTunes 2 hours to download the new update and then i was prompted that my phone needed to be restored and got the black screen with "connect to iTunes" icon on it.  I tried to restore it and it gets about half way through it and then gives me an error messages that says "iPhone cannot be updated due to error (1)" well i can go to "more information" to see how to fix the problem but that was useless because there is every error message except the one i am looking for.  I have also tried to shut down computer and restart, delete iTunes and redownload, and i have also tried to hook to another computer that we have in the house-- mind you, none of the three worked.  I am quite frustrated because i pay so much money for this phone and most importantly because i deal with alot of business call on it and until it is fixed i am unable to work-- i am not really sure why an update is released if the **** thing doesnt work because obviously i am not the only one having this issue. 
If anyone can help i would be very grateful, thanks!

Hi lhsmith89,
I understand your discontent. While most people prefer to use iTunes to update iPhone software, some times an alternate method work better as pointed out by gina7239 (Thank you!). Please try to update your iPhone wirelessly. For detailed instructions please visit this LINK.
I trust that updating wirelessly will resolve your software update concerns. If this option does not work for you, please post the errors you encounter and the community and/or our social media team will provide further assistance.

  • Any one having issues with newsstand apps after updating to iOS 6?

    Not a single one is working now. Just says "loading" for a big then quits back to the home screen. Could this just be the individual apps not having updated themselves?

    Hi guys I know what u mean. This is ridiculous about paying them money for technical support when there is problem from apple side not from us. No wonder there share price is going down and Samsung is taking our the Apple. If its gonna carry on like this then I won't be surprise apple will be in category with Nokia n blackberry. All I can suggest is if your phone is still under apple 1year warranty them make an Genius Bar appointment take to to apple store. Hopefully they will solve this issue but then again there is nothing wrong with our iPhones it's the bloody iOS 6.1 update which has got bugs that drains the battery out. My second suggestion is we should scrap the crap apple and move to android if apple not willing to solve our issues.

  • Anyone having issues with Preview since software update to 10.10.1?

    New laptop with latest Yosemite, 10.10.1 Since updating this morning Preview, with its handy tools for inserting text and simple drawing, is giving me the spinning wheel of death every 5 seconds. won't copy and paste my shapes like it used to, it's virtually useless now for simple PDF editing, so sad...

  • HT3204 I am having issues with the newest IOS6 update..

    Ever since the newest update was available I have been experiencing problems with connecting to the App store. Keeps telling me "Cannot connect to the store" Before with the last IOS 5 update I had no problem... and now I have to plug my Ipod touch up to a computer just to look at the app store. Is there anybody else out there who has experienced this and possibly fixed this problem? I need help, because my computer is so slow just plugging it in makes the whole thing freeze up for hours.

    Do you have Restrictions turned on in Settings>General?

  • Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

    Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

    The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge.  You've done good things.  Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
    Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use.  A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers.

    The follow is from clicking on that error number in the article cited at the end of my post:

  • Having issue with update Adobe 11.0.06.  Error 1603.

    Having issue with update Adobe 11.0.06.  Error 1603.

    You should have gotten this information with the error: "Shut down Microsoft Office and all web browsers. Then, in Acrobat or Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates. See also Error 1603 | Install | CS3, CS4 products." Also, be sure you log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus.

  • After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

    After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly.  The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago.  This happens across the board on anything flash based.  Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best.  I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers.  None of this has helped at all.  I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date.  I am running windows 7 64bit.

    Here's what you're up against guys,
    Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
    And to the first post:  Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

  • I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update

    I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update.  I'm able to back via work wifi but not at home.  Any ideas?

    Hi BmoreHunter.
         As far as using the bridge mode method you'd need to see what CLJDOhas to say, as that user is the only one that I see in this thread who used this method. The method that worked for me is different. I went out and bought a new modem. This made the most sense to me since the firmware in the unit that comcast gave me had issues and I am paying to rent the thing, I figured that I'll save some money if I just buy my own.
         I ended up purchasing a motorola SURFboard eXtreme (model SB6121) for $70 (happened to be on sale) from my local Target. For another $7 I was able to secure a 2yr warranty against failure, which was my only hesitation in buying vs renting.
         This modem should work just fine for you since you are a comcast customer. If you decide to go with a different modem, the important thing is to make sure that you purchase a modem that is compatible with the technology that your ISP (in this case comcast) uses. Also DOCSIS 3.0 is the "flavor" of cable modem you want as it will give you better performace than DOCSIS 2.0 devices (such as an older Motorola SURFboard).
         Once you buy the modem you will have to call comcast and have them add the modem to your account. They'll ask for the MAC address of the modem, then send a re-set signal to it, so make sure you are home when you call and can connect/disconnect the modem as needed. After your modem is added to your account and up and running you can then connect your new AirPort Express to the modem (via ethernet cable) and you should be all set!

  • Having issues with update to iOS 8

    Having issues with update to iOS 8, wheel keeps spinning with 9 hrs remaining to complete update. What are my options?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    I am a windows/mac user... And I was  Linux user for several years...  And so far I have been really happy with apple but this problem is frustrating.
    I don't understand:
    1)Why can't I go back to iOS7 since this was apparently the most stable version for my iPad ?
    2) Why is apple not doing anything about it,  ?
    3) If the problem is that my iPad's can't fully support the features of iOS8, why on earth have they made it available to iPad 2?
    Any way, I will just wait a bit longer and probably start looking in to a Samsung tablet or something....
    Cheers,

  • Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

    Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

    That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
    In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.
