Have been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the past few month but is not allowing me. The update icon is not showing on the screen. Help is need pls.

To update it all you need to do is connect the phone to iTunes and you can then update it.
If you are using anything less than iOS 5, then you can't update directly on your phone as this is not available and iOS 5 is the first OS where this option was available.

I have been trying to update my software for the past 3 hours. It just goes so far and stalls. I've never had this problem before, what am I doing wrong?

I have been trying to update my iPad2 for the past 3 hours. It just sets there doing very little and says its going to take 9 hours. What am I doing wrong? I've never had this problem before. Also can I update from any other computer? Just in case it is my lap top.

Do you get any error messages ? If you get a network timeout error when downloading the update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
It's best to only update via your own computer, otherwise you risk losing all your iPad's contents - updating to iOS 5 wipes the iPad and then restores your backup. If you having problems downloading the update then you could try downloading the update file via a browser on another computer and then copying that file to your laptop for the actual update .

My notes started crashing and have been every time I open them for the past few months. They're still included in search but when I click on one, it opens for a brief second but crashes before it's opened completely. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Restarting my iPad didn't work and I can't delete the notes app, since it's one that came with the iPad (I'd lose all my notes that way, anyway). Someone mentioned once that when they synced it with their laptop their notes started working again, but I'd never backed it up to my laptop before, only iCloud.

This answer from beppolina (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23842867#23842867)
Fixed it -- go to Settings - General - Reset and select "Reset All Settings." Still annoying, because now you have to go back and re-do all of the ways you customized your settings, but at least Notes is back.
Now if only they'd fix this major "connect to itunes to use push notifications" alert bug that's a constant irritant in some apps and disables others (Dropbox, I'm looking at you) completely.

I have been trying to download a movie for the pass three days and an error keeps occuring.

I have been trying to download the movie Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for the pass three days. however i am getting an error every time that stops the download. what should i do?

I have probably the same problem with Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) [6.0.6002] 32 bit and iTunes 10.4.0.80
For my iPhone 4 I did try to download iOS4.3.5 666.6 MB after about a halfe hour and approx. 333.4 MB I saw the Network traffic has stopped and iTunes displayed the error message -3259
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone.The network connection timed out. "
I already turned of the FIREWALL but that did't help. I assume that it isn't my network its probably the very slow server on the other end.
Regards Paul

HT1688 I have iPhone 4 and I have been having troubles sending picture messages for the past week now! I don't know what happened can someone help me

I have an iPhone and for the pat week or so I can not sen any pic messages if any size to anyone. Idk what happened please help me

MMS turned on? Settings>Messages>SMS/MMS>MMS Messaging>On. If MMS is turned on, can you send/receive SMS's? If so, contact your carrier. 99.9% of the time, if MMS is turned on & you can send/receive SMS's, the problem rests with your carrier. Either MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, or not provisioned at all.

Firefox has been secretly saving my download history for the past 6+ months

Looking for an explanation here if someone (preferably from the Firefox team) can provide one. I upgraded to version 20.0 this morning, and upon opening the new download manager window (Library) I was faced with my entire download history from the past 6+ months. This is something of a concern, because for as long as I've been using Firefox I've never had it set to remember my download history; it would always download a file and clear automatically to save me the bother of having to clear it manually.
It's rather concerning to me that a privacy setting has seemingly only been controlling what the user sees (i.e. an empty download history) as opposed to what Firefox is actually storing.
Is there a reason this has been happening? I'm already happy that it's nothing to do with DownThemAll as the files in the download history were not downloaded using DTA.

Thanks for your reply Cor-el. The problem is that there were downloaded files showing in the new 'Library' that I no longer have on my system, plus the massive list included files that were 'Opened' as opposed to saved directly to a destination on my hard-drive.
If these files weren't present in my Downloads folder, and Firefox had not been showing these in my download history previously (that is, in versions 19 and earlier), I still can't work out why it was storing information that wasn't visible to the user, or where this information suddenly appeared from.
I appreciate this may be a simplistic view, but by my logic: Either the download history is stored and thus is visible to the user, or it isn't being stored in which case there won't be anything visible to the user. Firefox seems to have ignored a privacy setting here, by storing download history but providing the illusion of privacy by simply hiding the information.
Hopefully you can see why this is a concern.

I have been trying to update my iphone 3gs to iso 5 but itunes freezes on backing up my phone

I have tried on a few occasions to update my iphone 3GS to iso 5. Once connected it i click to back it up, a box comes up with a bar in it. It can stay like that for hours, i left it 4 hours & it hadn't moved. I deleted itunes all of it. Then reinstalled it & its still the same. Can anybody help solve this problem?
thanks Jayne

You have an iPhone 3G.
Apple stopped support for iPhone 3G after 4.2.1. Therefore the highest software version for the iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd generation is 4.2.1
Only iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3 and iPod touch 4 can go beyond 4.2.1.
Also, there's nothing wrong with iTunes.

I bought a new MacBook Air the other day and I have been trying to connect my iPhone into the laptop to charge. However every time I plug it in, the phone connects and disconnects very quickly and doesn't charge. How do I fix this?

I Bought a new macbook air and it won't charge my phone. This is the second laptop ive gone through as i got a replacement one only two days ago for the same problem. I need to be able to connect my iPhone so I can download songs etc from iTunes onto my phone. How do I fix this?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

TS2755 My iPod touch is updated to the latest iOS, and I've cheched that my email address and the person I want to sent things to is correct. We have been using IMessage for the past few months error free, and now I'm unable to send/receive messages :( he

I have been using iMessage fine ever since it came out, I have had no problems at all. I've been in Europe for a week now and all of the sudden yesterday morning, iMessage has stopped receiving messages and when I attemp to send one, it says "sending" and the bar travels about 90% and then freezes, then the red icon saying not delivered comes up, and I'm unsure how to fix it. I've made sure everything is up to date, I've even changed my country in my account, the person trying to message me from canada says when they send me a message, it showed delivered. Why did this just happen randomly and how do I fix it?

If no backups were made then your stuffed. Harsh reality unfortuantly and a perfect example of why you should BACKUP before any update/ restore. It takes 30seconds!
