HT201210 I've tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios6
but every time I do so, it tells me there was an error downloading it. Why is that?
Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

When i tried updating my iphone 4 to the latest IOS version 7.1.1 it was updating until the end of the update where it had an icon which said connect to itunes. When i try connecting to itunes on my laptop it still doesnt program, by the way my itunes has the latest updae. Why is this? How can i fix it?
Hey there Raymondd2014,
It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:

If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

DId you fail to make sure that all of your music was on your computer before updating?
If so, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I tried to update my iphone 4 to the ios 7 and now its on recovery mode. How can i take it off of recovery mode?
Hi _em24,
It sounds like you are having an issue with the upgrade to your iPhone’s version of iOS, a frustrating situation to be sure. Let’s see if we can get you back up and running.
For basic troubleshooting of upgrades, and assuming you are using iTunes to do it, I would suggest using the steps in this article -

If not using iTunes or the above do not produce the desired result, use the steps in this article -

I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS6 and now my music in the cloud will not show up
I updated my iPhone 4S with the OS6 and now my music will now show up on my phone. I have abotu 11000 songs in the cloud. I can see them on my computer- they are all still there- but they don't show up on my phone at all. PLEASE HELP ME!! I am panicking just a bit.
My phone is doing the same thing, I have sprint and they went through all their troubleshooting and nothing worked. Then they transferred me to apple technician. The apple technician went through more troubleshooting and eventually suggested I wipe my phone. I wiped my phone, then using itunes and my phone I was able to get it into recovery mode. Once itunes recognized the recovery mode, it asked me if I wanted to recover my iphone. I went through the whole process, and got everything back. The phones network came back unfortunately not for very long and it was back to searching for the network without me being able to call, receive calls or text. Its been going on for almost a week now since I upgraded to 7.1 and no one can fix it...I want to know how to revert back to 7.0.....

Can anyone help... I have updated my iphone 4 and ipad 3 to the new ios6 software.. but itunes will now not recognize the devices so unable to sync my phone and ipad to itunes but it is recognizing my old ipod nano? i have followed all the help on apple but still not working
And what would that be before I or anyone else wastes their time and yours providing options you have already tried without any change?
If you have tried all troubleshooting steps providing by Apple, call AppleCare or make an appointment an an Apple store if there is one nearby. You have no other option. -
I dont know what to do
Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:
iTunes 10.6.3 -
I am trying to update my iphone 5 to the newest version (7.4) but it says I do not have enough space on my computer to update, though I have 8GB. Shouldbnt this be more than enough space? I have tried every trouble shooting option and get the same pop up-
Have you tried doing an over the air update on the iPhone instead?

I tried updating my iphone and now it says I have to restore my phone. I've never had this problem with the previous updates, I'm confused?
Same with me. The Upgrade hung up and froze the phone. Do the restore and then back it up when you get into iTunes from a previous save. It takes the better part of an hour our of your day depending how many apps and songs you have to get everything back together. It is a royal pain but I didn't lose anything.
Download a youtube app. It's not in iOS6. -
I'm trying to update my iphone 3GS to the 4.3.4 version and I am getting the error message "This version of itunes (version 9.1.1) is the current version. How do I update my PHONE and why is an itunes update being confused for my iphone?
You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.
