How can I download iOS 5 without iTunes?

My computer can only support through Tiger, so I had to hook up my iPhone through my brother's computer months ago. Is there anyway for me to get iOS 5?

Yes, you can sync from another computer. But since you have used your brother's Apple ID you will have to create your own Apple ID, so you cannot keep anything you've purchased on your brother's computer except apps.

  • How can I download IOS 5 without syncing my iphone to my computer?

    Hi! I've had my iphone for several months and I would like to download the new IOS 5 but I am scared to hook it up to my laptop.  When I first got this phone (verizon iphone 3G) I lost all of my or most of my contacts when I plugged it into my laptop. I don't want that to happen again.  How can I disable my cell or lap top from syncing my cell phone contacts and loosing them all? I want to safely download this new apple software.  Thanks!  Hope I make some sense.

    Can you give me step by step instructions on how I should do all this? Please.  Thanks.  I hook up my iphone to my laptop and just loose all contacts and have to start from scratch?  Do i write down all my info then sync.  See my pattern just keeps repeating.  How do you add stuff to your phone then be able to sync later and not continue to keep loosing what you added?   My goal is to download IOS 5 and I know I must sync but I don't know how to back up my cell and don't want to loose all my progress over the last 6 months.  I never sync it for that reason.  I don't know how to not loose all my info.  Thanks so much but if you could walk me through steps start to finish, it would save and help me lots.

  • HT4623 can I download ios 7 without itunes?

    I want to download the os at home, not at work. My home internet connection is far faster, so I wanted to send my wife a link to download this and bring it to me on a flash drive. I can't find any link to do this and my searches haven't turned up any results, either.

    nevermind, I found it!

    How can i download ios 7.1 without using my iphone and itunes

    If you don't use your phone and you don't use iTunes, what are you expecting to use? Your options to update your device are Over The Air through Settings>General>Software Update or by connecting the device to iTunes and updating.
    Best of luck.

    If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

  • How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes?

    How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes? I download my royalty-free music from VideoBlocks and it automatically launches iTunes and plays the song in iTunes. I just want to save it to a location without going through iTunes. How do I do so?

    Open your web browser's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. If you're using Safari, this option is in the General tab.

    An album I recently downloaded is missing most of the first track. How can I download it again without being charged?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How can I download a transfer without waiting for it be all transferred?

    How can I download a transfer without waiting for it be all transferred? Thanks.

    Thanks, that now makes sense. Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
    Regards.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
    your computer has what is called  a recovery partition that came with it.
    simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
    you will boot into the recovery partition.
    Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    it will ask  you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
