HT201210 iPhone 4 will not update to iOS6 - new software keeps re-downloading but never installing

I was syncing my iPhone, left it, I came back upstairs and my iPhone was wiped saying it needs to be plugged into iTunes. I tried several times to update and install after downloading the almost 1G file and all that happens is that the file disapears and iTunes wants to download the file again. I do the same process again and it did appears and wants me to download it again. The iPhone 4 never updates.
The phone is wiped and I can't use it. Total brickhouse.
I have updated the iTunes software and I still have the problem. I originally never even asked for the update but somehow after syncing the phone it turns into a brick.
Never had a problem with the iPhone but this is a serious issue. I do not have the cash to buy a new iPhone and I do use this phone for personal and business verntures. I don't even have a house phone because the iPhone has been so reliable (now i may have to reconsider that idea).
Any help?

For whatever reason the iPhone was in a recovery loop and it would not come out of it. Took it to thei iPhone store and they get it to fork. something about "DCU" ING the phone or something .
Lost all the data as I was not able to back up the phone before the crash.
so is life.

  • HT4623 My iphone 4 will not update to the new ios 6.  My husbands phone did update.

    My iphone 4 will not update to ios6.  It keeps saying there is an error.  My husband has the same phone purchased at thesame time and his updated just fine.

    Same thing, but even worse because there also is not enough space to do the restore.  I think I am screwed and lost everything.  I HATE these updates, seems like there are always major issues!

  • I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

  • My iPhone will not update to iOS

    Hi,
    My iPhone will not updat eto iOS 6.
    It will update for about 5 minutes and then it says it cannot update.
    it is really frustrating because I am excited to see whats new.
    It is on a power source.
    Anyone can give suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Did you check your security software settings, to make sure, that iTunes can contact Apple servers?

    My iPhone blacked out, and will not turn on. I did not update to the new software! So what is my Apple iPhone 5s problem?
    A lot of issues with iPhones lately, maybe apple has an issue developing and implementing their inovations.

    Hi InUtero, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I can understand your frustration if your iPhone is not turning on as expected. The first thing I would suggest in this situation is a reset. Please use the following article for instructions on how to reset your iPhone. Please be sure to let me know if you need further assistance. 
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Itunes will not update to a newer version.

    Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

    The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
    Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • My iPhone will not update from version 4.1

    My iPhone will not update from version 4.1, everytime I try to update on the iTunes iPhone screen, the response says "your iTunes version is current"....I am not trying to update iTunes, I just want to update my iPhone. How do I fix this?

    You must purchase 10.5.8 from an Apple store, either in person or online. You can also update to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) if you have an Intel Mac. The current version is Lion, (10.7), but you must have Snow Leopard installed to upgrade to Lion. You also need an Intel Mac.

  • AME will not update to the new release

    AME will not update to the new release.  Tried from the help menu in both AME and Premiere.  It Fails each time I try.  Is this a known issue.  I was not able to update AE or Premiere from the CC app manager.  I had to update those both from the update item in the help menus of each program.  What is going on?

    There are two steps in patching via creative cloud or from within the application.
    1. download the patch
    2 apply the patch
    Which stage failed for you? 
    I did run into download issue yesterday where CC tried to download patches for a few apps at the same time and it failed to download.  I suspect the servers that patches reside on were busy.  When I tried it a few hours later, it worked.
    You can download the manual patchers from these locations:

    Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
    All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
    They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
    Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
    So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
    Need help, confirmed.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
