    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Mac OS X 10.5 is not a free download. You have to buy it.

    Not all iBooks are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5. Check out the system requirements here:

  • HT201210 I,m trying to restore my phone but I keep getting Error code 21.... help please

    I,m trying to restore my phone but I keep getting Error code 21.... help please     iPhone 4S

    Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    You could just update or uninstall the security software on your computer and then test again.

  • HT201210 It says my firmware file is not compatible after I tried to update my IPhone 4. Does anyone know what this means?

    Hello,
    I tried to download updates on my IPhone 4 and a message box appeared saying--after it downloaded the updates on my computer--that my firmware file is not compatible. Does anyone know what this means?
    Thank you

    Only the individual that set the restrictions passcode knows what it is.
    If you do not know it or have forgotten it, put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

  • Iphone cannot be updated to ios 5.1.1 as the firmware file is not compatible

    Trying to update iphone 4 from software 4.3.5 to 5.1.1, have tried this twice, but each time I receive an error message telling me that the phone can't be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. I called Apple Support who advised me to restore and update and said this would work. I tried this but after 45 mins that didn't work either, wouldn't even restore, I just got the same error message.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Try update computer iTunes to 10.6.3 then try again.

  • The iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible, can i get back to ios 7 as iphone 5s or itsnot possible!!!

    My iphone 5s and model A1457 and even after i downloaded the IOS 7.1,2 itunes get me error "the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"
    some people saying that u cant get back and other saying yes u can
    i wonder if i still can and how to avoid that error
    IOS 8 Drain battery like **** -.-" & wireless not working well -.-", that's so annoying ...
    (if someone got a solution, i would appreciate it, Thx in advance)

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT201210 I'm trying to restore my phone and it keeps saying that this iphone cannot be restored at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

    I've been trying to restore my phone the whole day and every time that's about to finish the extration this message comes up " The iphone cannot be restored at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable"
    Do anyone know if there's a way to fix this? It's in DFU mode so I can't do anything with it anymore, i have no phone.
    Please help.

    Windows user? Maybe you should check your HOSTS file to make sure nothing is stopping you from contacting Apple's servers - though if you're not looking to update you might still be out of luck. Also, maybe disable IP blacklist apps like PeerBlock just in case they're interfering with your connection to Apple.

  • I tried to update my phone, but now it says it can't be "activated because the activation server cannot be reached." What does this mean? What do I do?

    I restored then updated my phone and then I get this. Help, please!

    The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download/activate iOS7 at the same time.
    There is a good chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day.

  • Hello Im trying to update my macbook pro from itunes version 10.5 to the latest version. can anyone tell me why I'm unable to update?

    Hello
    My macbook pro is version MAC OS X V.10.5.8 and I'm trying to udate my itunes from10.6.3 to the most current version. However, when I try to do this I cant seem to be able to find the newest version of itunes- I'm receiving the message that I'm up to date with the latest version.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You are for Leopard. To upgrade iTunes you first need to upgrade OS X. Start with Snow Leopard. You can upgrade further should you want to. But Snow Leopard will allow you to install the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I'm trying to update my itunes but it keeps saying itunes has an invalid signature, i'm trying to update my itunes but it keeps saying itunes has an invalid signature

    everytime i try to update the itunes it says it has an invalid signature, without the update i cant put music on my ipod, please help

    A few things to try.
    Download iTues from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    and save it on your PC, it's generally best to do this if you are having problems.
    Try using a different browser for the download.
    If you are using a wifi connection, try a wired connection if you can.
    This problem has been associated with router problems also accessing the internet via a wireless dongle.
    Try restarting your router.
    But in the end if none of this helps the simplest thing is to get a friend to download iTunes for you and put it on a memory stick. Preferable checking that it works first.

  • HT201210 my i phone will not update because the firmware file is not compatible what does that mean?

    I am trying to run an update on my iphone and I received an error saying the firmware file is not compatible. What does that mean?

    Navigate to this folder and delete any and all .ipsw files you find. You will have to turn on "show all hidden files & folders" to see them:
    OSX:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Vista & 7:
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Turn off or disable ALL security software & any firewalls. Make sure you're using a high powered USB port directly on your computer...no hubs, if a desktop use a port on the back of your computer. Disconnect ALL other USB devices.
    Try again.

  • Im trying to update my itunes but its keeps coming up with invaild signature. How do i fix it?

    Im trying to update my itunes but it keeps saying invaild signature. How can i fix this? Its driving me mad

    Assuming a PC restart does not fix the problem, the simplest thing is to get a friend to download the installer for you and put it on a memory stick.
    This issue has been associated with router problems.
    If a known good copy of the installer still gives the same error there may be a problem in Windows.
