HT4623 I can't update my iOS on my iPhone 4!

everytime I try to update, it never initializes because it always ends up with an error.
And everytime I try to update it with iTunes on my PC, it hangs and I have to start all over again.
BUT I NEVER GET A CHANCE TO UPDATE IT BECAUSE OF AN ERROR.

I have heard about this issue many times from those around me etc. the issue is not of your wi-fi connection or anything like that. think of how many people have iPhones who want to update. the servers are literally crammed! i would just wait a day or so, and the update should go smoothly. best of luck !

  • HT4623 can I update to ios 6 on iphone 3g

    Can I update to ios 6 on iphone 3g?

    Sorry but no. iOS 4.2.1 was the last version of iOS an iPhone 3G would run. If you have iOS 4.3.3 on your phone, then unless your iPhone was hacked, you actually have an iPhone 3GS which can upgrade to iOS 6. You can confirm your model here:

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    The iPhone 3G is only compatible with iOS 4.2.1 or early. Connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes will ask you to update iOS to the latest version

  • HT4623 can i update my ios software in 3g network not in wi fi.

    can i update my ios software in 3g network not in wi fi

    Oops, sorry this is not possible!
    Yes, it is very silly but the iPad 1 does not have enough ram to cope with ios 6 or 7. Every other iPad can go upto ios 7 except iPad 1, which stays as ios 5.1.1
    I recommend upgrading ur iPad, if u can't afford it maybe then u can always sell your iPad and use that money to buy a new one!!
    Hope it helps,
    Bye

  • HT4623 There is no "software update" option in my iPad settings So how can I update to IOS 5.1.1?

    There is no "software update" option in my iPad settings So how can I update to IOS 5.1.1?

    You only get the Settings > General > Software Update when you have iOS 5+ installed on the iPad - if you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the next udpate via your computer's iTunes.

  • HT4557 How can I update my iOS 5 on my iPad 2

    How can I update my iOS 5 on my iPad 2 ?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
    icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • I never updated my iphone to IOS 6.1.4 and now I can't update to IOS 7, how can I get IOS 7?

    I never got round to updating my iPhone 5 to IOS 6.1.4 (I think that's it!) and now I can't update to IOS 7!
    How do I get around this?
    Thank you!

    Why can't you update?
    There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
    What happens when you try to update?
    Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
    Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.
