How to stop iPhone automatically disconnecting during an iTunes update?

When I'm updating my iPhone on my brother's laptop or my grandfather's computer iTunes updates my iPhone well, but when I try to update my iPhone on iTunes on my computer, it will say "8 hours remaining" or during the "8 hour" update it will say that my iPhone has been disconnected during the update. I won't even touch the phone and this message would still appear. Can someone please help me because I really want to upgrade to ios 6 and this is the only thing that is in my way. Could this be a problem with my computer or my iPhone?
Thanks, for future references

Probably a slow internet connection where your at
the update is very large (700mb ish) so it can take a very long time to download (roughly the sice of 250 mp3s for example)
Best bet is to go somewhere where else with wifi (starbucks, mcdonalds, etc) and try the update there

  • How to stop iphone 4 from automatically download iOS6 update to your phone?

    I would like to know how to stop the automatic update of iOS6 download directly to my iphone 4 without me telling it to go ahead and download it.  It's so sneaky, it keeps automatically downoading the update (2+GB) and take up that same amount of space on my iphone once I charge it to full power.  And it will stay like that along with me losing 2+GB of space to apple unless I install the update.
    However, I refuse to install the update when it doesn't have google map, youtube apps and still having problem with wifi connection and data overusage due to some unknown bug and not the customer using it.  I have reseted my iphone 3 times back to the original factory setting so I can reclaim that 2GB storage space and keep my iOS5 already, but everytime I did that, it would just redownloaded the update again without asking for my confirmation after I charge the phone to full power.  Is there anyway to stop this insanity?  I don't want to do hard reset/activate phone again and again just to rid of this automatic download.  It's wasting my time, my storage space and my bandwidth....and I do not have unlimited storage space.  Please help!!!

    I would disable wifi before plugging it in to charge.  Eventually, you will need to update as only the current version of IOS will be supported.

  • How to stop annoying preview saving during annotation?, How to stop annoying preview saving during annotation?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, any time I open a big PDF ( for example 600 pages) with Preview, when I make an annotation as highlighting, I starts saving and this annoying process lasts for 45-50 seconds. Anyone knows how to stop Preview from saving during reading and puts it for when closing the application?

    Open Terminal and enter this command which will turn off Autosave & Versions for TextEdit Preview.
    defaults write -app 'Preview' ApplePersistence -bool no
    Now reboot.
    To turn off autosave and versions globally...
    defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no

  • HT1351 My iphone was disconnected during a sinc and now has songs that are grey with a red circle and sqare in the middle of it. None of these songs play. tried deleting all the songs and re sincing but to no avail???

    my iphone was disconnected during a sink and now many songs are grey and have a red circle with a red square in the middle, they will not play

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • How to stop iphone deleting contacts

    How to stop iphone deleting contacts ?

    Are you syncing contacts from different devices? Are you using iCloud to do so?
    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, and to rule out a software issue, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

    how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

    You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
    Hope this helps.
