How to download the new iPhone OS update directly from a link

is a link provided by Apple to download the new iPhone OS 3.1.3 file itself ? I want to download it to a computer which I will not be able to connect my iPhone to. I will USB thumb drive the file to my laptop to finish the update at some later point in the day....
Apple by contrast has always allowed stuff like OS combination updaters, Security Updates, iDVD updates, iLife updaters, etc to be downloaded to a computer which isnt necessarily involved with the actual update.
I was hoping this motif would also be try for iPhones.
TIA

sure it is possible :

    Hello all,
    when i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these apps and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID
    How i used the new one to update these apps?
    thanks

    Your device can hold apps from multiple IDs, but to update them you have to swicth identities which is time consuming. If possible use only the one ID. If you need to reset the password for your old ID visit My Apple ID.

  • Downloaded the new iPhone update for my 4s and now I get the the "connect to iTunes" image.  When I do, it says it needs to restore factory settings.  Help!  What do I do?

    I downloaded the new IOS software update today and now my 4s is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" icon on the screen.  When I connect it, it says my cell needs to be restored to factory settings.  I don't want to lose everything.  Help please!  I saw someone else had this problem so hopefully there's already a solution.  Thank you.

    They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.

  • When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update.  When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing.  Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock.  Any solutions?

    We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.

    I down loaded the new ios7 softdate update though my iphone 5 and now my Itunes app. appears blank and it has no advertisement or anything. How can i solve the problem?

    Try a reset ...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Problems synching itunes 9.0.1 with the new iphone software update.

    I am running a MacBook pro with OS 10.5.8.
    I have upgraded to itunes 9 and downloaded the new software for the iphone 3.1.2.
    Now I cannot sync my iphone OR install the new software.
    Every-time I try to do this itunes tells me that my iphone "disconnected during the install / sync".
    This is nonsense of course! Any clues as to what is broken gratefully received.
    PS I looked up the more information page that apple suggests. However this advice seems to be on the level of the "IT crowd". IE turn your computer off and on again; and update your software to the latest version.

    Ok, lets try some simple stuff first:
    Go to Applications > iSync > Preferences > Reset Sync History
    Let me know if that helps, also make sure that permit syncing on this computer is checked.

  • How I get the new software to update my phone fast???

    How I get the newest software to update my Iphone fast?

    What do you mean by "fast"?  The only way for you is to connect your phone to iTunes and click "Udate. If this seems to dowload too slow, disable ALL security apps (firewall, antivirus, etc.) when updating.
    Your profile states you're running iOS 3.1.3 on an iPhone 4 which isn't even possible - the iPhone 4 can't run anything earlier than iOS 4.0

  • Trouble downloading the new iPhone software (4.2.8.)

    I have an iPhone 4, and every time I try to download the new software it takes about 25 minutes, then as soon as it's done downloading a window pops up saying "Error, network connection has timed out"
    I'm not quite sure what that means...am I doing something wrong?
    Also my sound for my phone only comes out of the right speaker at the bottom. Is that normal?

  • Can't download the new ipod touch update

    when i go to itunes and try to buy the new upgrade it says that i must download the new ipod software 1.1.3 even though my ipod is up to date. What gives

    You must update to itunes 7.6. You must download, and update your ipod to version 1.1.3 verify on the summary tab in itunes when you plug your ipod in. If you have already purchased the update then you should now be able to sync your ipod and the apps appear. If you have yet to successfully purchase the apps yet purchase, and resync. (you can view your purchase history from itunes store account settings, to check whether you have successfully made the purchase already. Also when you sync your ipod the first time to get the apps to show up, you must be set to automatically sync, not manual.
