HT201210 Unable to update my iPhone 4 from iOS-4 to iOS-5 or 6

In the process of upgrading my iPhone from iTunes, to iOS-5 or iOS-6, gives me a message saying "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". Please help me ..... I have already updated my Windows Updates, I also have updated my iTunes. When I try to sync my iPhone to iTunes, it says something about backup restore or some other stuff.

Just managed to upgrade after the 5th attempt.
Cheers

  • I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I don't follow your instructions... mine goes Settings->General->Cellular and from there it's just on/off options for Cellular Data, Enable 3G, Data Roaming, etc. Or I could go Settings->General->Profile APN Carrier Settings but when I click that it just shows as verified but no Visual Voice APN or MMS Settings. If I click More Details it goes to Signing Certificate which has a bunch of parameters for unlockit.co.nz but I am unable to change anything.
    I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 6 and my internet (wifi and 3G), voice and text all work, but the only thing I can't do is send/receive pictures via text message. I am using At&t prepaid sim. I tried turning off the phone completely but I'm trying to avoid a complete restore.. at least until I can understand the problem better! Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.

    Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.
    On opening the app "Find my iPhone" I add my password and sign in, to be greeted with a screen that says;
    "Update Find My iPhone. A new version of Find My iPhone is available from the App. Store. You must install the update to continue using the app. Update now"
    On hitting the "Update now" button I'm taken to the relevant page on the App Store, to be told that I cannot update as it needs IOS8 to be able to continue and as my iPhone is only a 4 cannot install IOS8.
    I'm left going around in circles. The only thing would be to delete the app, but looks like I could not re-install the version I would need. Any body have any thoughts or suggestions? (Apart from updating my phone, I have a few months left on the contract!)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • Trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1 via iTunes.When I click the "Update" button, I just get a message saying the iTunes is at the current version (6.1), but no action re the iOS update.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
    When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
    Thanks for any help with this problem

    I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
    Thanks very much for your feedback.

  • HT4623 How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    Hi Team,
    I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1.  While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected.  Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not. 
    and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

    I just updated an iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 7.1 and my computer/iTunes no longer recognizes the device; what gives? How do I get iTunes to show the device?

    With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
    You'll need to go elsewhere for support.
