HT201210 Problems updating Iphone 4 to iOS 6, HELP!

Hello,
I have a IPhone 4 and it recently down loaded iOS 6 but when it trys to install it, it gives me a error message "Unable to install update, An error occurred installing iOS 6" and then the only choice it gives me is to close or settings which do the same thing.
Now what do I do?
Dan

You just said it, update failed and the iPhone was put in recovery mode. In terms of why the update failed, would you happen to know the exact error message and code that came up on iTunes because you could check what it means on the link below:

  • HT201210 After updating iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password.

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password and I am locked out of my phone. Anyone else seeing this? What can I do to fix this?

    Hello kennyred,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Just updated IPhone 4S to iOS 6 HELP!!!!

    OKay so..
    EVERY TIME I try to connect to the Internet, this screen pops up an it says log in at the top but when it fully loads it says page not found.... then my Internet goes away.
    my phone has been cutt off for a month now..
    is that the reason why it's doing that?

    I can't tell you WHY this worked but I'll share just in case...
    I had the same problem.  No sound, the volume control buttons did nothing.  The sound icon would appear but no bars indicating the sound level.
    My phone was NOT on mute, but I flicked the mute button anyway. 
    I don't know why or how, but that made the sound come back and the volume control buttons start working again.
    (Just before this, I realized all my texts were gone - they came back with a reset but still!)

  • What cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

    what cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

    SSince Apple does not support downgrading the iOS I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

  • Just updated iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2, now it won't sync with iphoto 9.4.3

    Just updated iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2  (from some version of iOS 6), now it won't sync with iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MacBook pro (running OS 10.8.5). I plug it in and iPhoto recognizes the iPhone but only displays a 'Loading..." message next to the 'New Photos' page.
    Tried it also on my older Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8  and iPhoto 9.2.3 and same problem.
    Any ideas? Already tried rebooting both devices.

    I have same problem but with iPhoto 9.5.1
    Photos don't get to the iPhone.

  • I have updated iphone 4 to iOS 6 now itunes 10.7 on windows 7 does not recognize it

    Hi I have updated iphone 4 to iOS 6 and also updated itunes to 10.7, now when I connect my device via usb it does not appear in itunes. I have followed all the advice in troubleshooter including uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but it still doesn't appear. Please can anyone help with this? I am not really very tech minded so a simple solution would help!! thankyou

    Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)

  • Updating iphone 4 to iOS 5 - while doing the Backup I receive an error message no 402636788 - backup has failed. Can anybody tell me what this means or how I can fix this?

    I am working on a Win 7 Machine and I have disabled all Firewall and Antivirus Tasks as this caused problems on an other update.

    Well - I synced before - that was successful - but I am a bit scared to ignore this error and just to continue? You think I should ignore that?

  • How do I update iphone 4 with ios 4.2?

    How do I update iphone 4 with ios 4.2?

    Do you mean that you want to update your iphone that currently has 4.2 to the newest software 4.3.2?
    If so, then update it as you always do, via itunes.  Click Check for updates.
    If you want to upgrade to version 4.2, then you cannot as 4.3.2 is the latest.

  • Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

    updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
    Buttons pressing themself...
    Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
    suggestions?

    Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
    Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
    Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though.  Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

  • Already asked AT&T and Apple Support. Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

    New to this site, sorry if I didn't enter my question correctly ... Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

    HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
    Restore the phone via iCloud.com
    1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
    2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
    3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
    You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
    4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
    5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
    As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

  • Updating iphone 4s to ios 8, install failed for unkown reasons, trying to restore iphone and asked for password. I enter my itunes password then my iphone lock password and still get error message wrong password. What password do they want?

    Trying to update iphone 4s to ios 8. Install failed for "unknown reasons". Trying to restore I phone from I tunes, asked for password to complete restore. I enter ITunes password and then iphone lock password and neither is accepted. What password is required?

    I think the password it asked is the one that you used to encrypt iPhone backup.
