I tryed to update to ios 6.0.1 on my iPod touch 4g but It alaways says that a error has occurred any suggestions

I tryed to update to ios 6.0.1 on my iPod touch 4g but it always says that a error has occurred. Any suggestions.

If you are updating via Settings>General>Software update then connect to your computer and update via iTunes
Otherwise what is the full wording of the error message?

I have a 3gs. I tried to update the ios today. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes is not recognizing. I also tried DFU mode, still nothing. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. Help.

I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.

No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

All updates for iTunes and iPhone are hanging

Trying to update iTunes and iPhone but everytime I do the downloads stall and hang and I have to cancel and restart my computer. ALL other downloads happen just fine without any stall. I have Windows 7. I have tried changing my firewall settings or anti-virus settings and the Apple downloads still do not go through. I am on a DSL line and like I said ALL other downloads and updates come through just quickly. Any ideas???

It might just be easiest to download it at a friend's house and put it on a USB stick.

Hi, I am trying to update my ipod touch 4th gen. I have downloaded the newest iTunes and each time i try to update i keep getting error 3004 i'm on firmware 5.1.1 trying to update to iOS 6. please help

Need help

Ok make sure you have iTunes 11. Then connect iPod touch to computer then iTunes should pop up automatically. After it opens on the bottom left there should be a tab where it says your name and then iPod. For example (Johns iPod) click on that then it brings all your information of the iPod including restore and updating.
Dont worry

I tried to update the iOS and never finished the installation

A day ago i tried to update the iOS of my iPad 2.
Everthing looked good but it never started again.
It's stuck in the tiny apply screen with the status bar under it.
Have any suggestion of what to do?
thank you in advance!!!

Try this and see if it will restart the update. If it doe not work, you will need to restore your iPad using Recovery Mode.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
This explains how to restore with recovery mode.

What is going on with my iPad update. I waited for four hours letting it "update" and after the alloted time, it tells me that I needed to update my iTunes first. After doing that, I can't even get into my iTunes. It says a file is corrupt. This is making me less and less impressed with these updates. I have trouble 80% of the time.

What iPad model and what iOS is it currently running? Are you trying to update the iOS via wifi or connected to your computer?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

Error while trying to update to ios 5

I keep getting an error while trying to update to iOS 5. I update iTunes this morning to the lastest version so I know that isn't the problem. I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, but contine getting "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknow error occurred (3194)." PLease help! Thanks in advance

I am also getting the error 43 when the update tries to back the phone up. Im using the latest version of itunes. This is on an iphone4, I am in the UK.
I tried deleting all of the historical backups to see if a fresh backup folder helps. It did not.
Ive tried running iTunes in 'administrator' mode on my Windows 7 machine. This made no difference.
Ive tried putting the phone in airplane mode. No difference.
I tried getting it into restore mode just to see if it worked on a iphone4. However it did not seem to want to do it.
Im not not too sure about proceeding with this update as I done want to loose any of the apps I have. (or 3 my 3 stars in every angry birds level on all 3 versions of the game!!)
Please someone, HELP !! !!

HELP! iPhone 4 is BLANK after trying to update to iOS 6, error message during restore...

I tried to submit question to Apple Support, but I have to enter my phone's serial number and it doesn't work! From what I can gather, it wasn't restored, so I can't get the serial #!!!
When I connected to iTunes earlier this evening, a window popped up about updating iOS. (I had to update thru iTunes b/c I've never updated iOS!)
I chose "download & update". After ~2 hours of downloading software, it began doing some different things, soon after it started the restore process, an error message popped up. The first suggestion was to download the newest version of iTunes, which I did, next-restart laptop, opened iTunes, and iPhone doesn't show as a device, and choices like "sync" are gray (can't choose them).
By looking through and reading other questions and answers in the community, I think I've found the backups stored on my computer.
I just can't get anything to work. proc
I love my phone, please, please help!
In pretty easy to understand terms. (please no talk of clouds, etc. )
I didn't do any backups myself prior to starting b/c it clearly said all of those things would be backed up and restored during the process.
thank you!

when I started the update I was at the end of the preparing to download phase and now my screen is just flashing on and off with apple logo
