  • HT4623 I was updating my iPhone 5 through iTunes. I think I lost Internet connection so the update didn't finish. Now my phone has a weird icon on the screen and says iTunes in a circle and I can't do anything. Suggestions?

    Help. After trying to update I ended up with a locked iPhone. What should I do?

    Im sorry to hear that. You need to restore like brad said.
    But you can restore from a latest backup from itunes after restore. I hope you had a recent backup made.

  • I updated my iphone 5 through Itunes but an error occurred during installation on the phone that read -42110. Now the phone has a usb icon and itunes icon and is not recognized by itunes or my computer (windows 7). I uninstalled and reinstalled. no luck

    I attempted to update my iphone 5 through itunes. Itunes backed up the phone. However, when it tried to install the updated software an error message displayed -42110. Now the iphone is unresponsive with a usb icon with an arrow pointing to an itunes icon. The computer makes a connection noise when I hook the phone to the computer but it does not appear to be recognized. It does not appear in the My Computer section. Itunes does not recognize it either. I disabled my security software. I uninstalled itunes, Bonjour, Quick time, apple updates, Aplle mobile updates ect. I reinstalled Itunes and the program still does not recognize the phone.

    If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure.  If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    The iPhone 3G can only Update to iOS 4.2.1
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

    If you have a backup of your information on your computer, I would suggest putting your phone into recovery mode, by holding down the home key and keeping it held down while you connect it by usb into your computer with itunes running. Keep the home button held down until it indicates recovery mode, and proceed with the restore.

  • HT4623 How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps

    How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps?

    I disagree, Mr. WJ:
    If Matt had updated his iPhone via the Cloud and not by USB cable to his computer, the old IOS would still be on the computer and he would be able to "restore" to it. It would depend on what his backup settings were configured.
    For instance, I always backup to my computer at home. But, in the last few days I was notified that IOS 6.1 came out. So, if I wanted, I could install the update via WIFI from where I am at work. But, my old IOS would still be safe on my home computer that I can restore from if need be.
    And then you basically repeated what I stated about Google Maps being a app you can download now.
    Who loves ya, baby?

    My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
    Please help!!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

    How do you update the iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3 using iTunes?

    You need the current iTunes version.
    With the iPhone connected to iTunes, you should be prompted about an update being avaialble automatically.
    If not, you select Check For Update under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

    My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

    plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
    if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

  • HT4623 How to update your iPhone 4

    I want to update my iPhone 4 to the newest version, iOS 5. I have checked many instructions online and followed them, but I still can't update it. The problem is that there is no "Software Update" in my iPhone 4. In "General" at the top, there is only "About" and "Usage" unlike other phones that have "About", "Software Update" and "Usage".
    Is there any way I can update my iPhone 4?

    You can't update the iOS from the phone itself until iOS 5 is installed.  You have to  update to iOS 5 by connecting to iTunes on your computer.  Once iOS 5 is installed, you'll be able to install future updates over WiFi using the phone alone.

  • I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 through iTunes but says I'm not connected to the internet when I am.

    Hello everyone,
    I have the iPhone version 4.3.3 and I want to update to the latest iPhone software. With this version, I can only update through iTunes. When I plug in my phone to my computer and select the update option through iTunes, it sends an error messsage reading that I need to be connected to the internet to update my phone. My phone and my computer are both connected to wifi at the times I try to update, so I don't understand why I keep getting that message.
    I've talked to my phone company and they said it probably has to deal with iTunes, but they were not sure. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but it still didn't work. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on and also what I can do to update my phone?
    Thank you so much!
