HT4623 iPhone IOS update

My iPhone settings icon is notifying me of an IOS 7.1 update. I have tried multiple time to download and install the update. Each time the process shows almost finished then notifies me that it cannot be completed without further direction. I have as a minimum 11 GB available, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Help please.

Hey patsy643,
Thanks for the question. If you are having issues updating Over The Air (OTA), you can always attempt to update with iTunes:

Make sure your device has enough available space to install the update. Use iTunes to update if you don't have enough space, or remove content from your device. Tap Settings > General > Usage to see how much space your content uses.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

HT4623 MY IOS UPDATE IS BEING EXTREMELY SLOW, DO YOU KNOW WHY ?

My IOS update has taken almost 2 hours and isn't even half way completed yet?
I can't figure out why, can anyone help, or tell me how to speed it up ?
Thanks

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

HT4623 New ios update for iPhone 3g?

I've heard that you can't get latest ios because you need atleast iphone 3gs,4,4s,5 to get the new ios.

Correct. The 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.

Hi kamcop68,
If you have a recent backup available (even pre-iOS7), you may want to try restoring your data from there. You may find the following article helpful:

HT4623 After ios update on my ipad mini i am unable to connect to internet via cellular connection

i Have update ios 7.0.2 on my ipad mini. But after update of ios 7.0.2 i am unable to connect to internet via cellulau connection. Cellular connection appears on my screen but i get error as "Could not activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service". Cellular connection was working prior to ios 7.0.2 update. Please help.

GOT MINE FIXED -
THE 7.0.3 update reported my iPhone as LOST or STOLEN to Verizon.
They suspended my iPhone service immediately (as I would expect them to) and THAT is why I couldn't get on.
Called Verizon wireless - they restored me in 30 seconds - EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN.
They said "we've been doing this ALL MORNING."
Hope this works for others, too!
You blow bright orange chunks, Microsoft, er, I mean, Apple.

HT4623 iPhone 4S Update

I have an iPhone 4S that's about 8 months old. I have the message on the system icon that an update is available but when I try to update it, it says that 5.1.1 is the latest update. My new iPad updated without a hitch. Is my phone eligable?

Apple dropped the YouTunb app with iOS 6. As you may have heard, Apple and Google are competing a bit, and YouTube is owned by Google.
You can indeed download the (free) YouTube app from the App Store.

If one of these programs will not kick the iPod out of recovery mode then you will have to restore via iTunes
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or
http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Huge iphone IOS update eating up my storage. What to do?

Latest upate for ios on iphone is 1.9 gigs -- for a 16 gig phone. is apple kidding me? do i need to put all my music and photos in the cloud? any thoughts are most welcome.

After the install it will replace your current iOS version and will take up no more storage than it is currently using.
As dilbert41 suggest, updating via iTunes downloads the update to your computer then installs it so the extra space, albeit temporary, is not an issue.

IPhone iOS update times out.

I'm trying to download the updates for my iPhone and iPad2; however the connection is apparently too slow. When it times out, you lose everything and must start the download again from 0. Unlike other downloads like music, the updates will not stop and let you restart from where you left off. I'm on a US military base overseas, and the connection is somewhat slow, and erratic.
Is there a place I can go to download the update file that's trustworthy? Not using the iTunes interface, but just downloading the file and dropping it in the proper folder to update?

The most frequent cause of download timeouts is interference from your antivirus and spyware, which you probably don't have as you are using a Mac. However, the network you are connecting through may be have antivirus protection that is the cause the problem. There are other places to get the download, but they are not authorized by Apple, and there is a risk of gettng a corrupted file. There's also the problem of finding the right version; different iDevices have different installers, even for the same version of iOS.

HT4623 Iphone 4 update ruined phone

I put the 6.0 update I beleive on my Iphone 4 and there was some kind of error and the phone only says to connect to Itunes via usb and the computer cannot detect the phone. I took it in the the genius said I needed to pay $150 for a new phone. There must a be a reset they or I can do.

I've had a similar problem. My Verizon iPhone 4 was already updated with iOS 6, and tonight I plugged it in to the USB in my laptop (not over wireless) to update to 6.0.1 and right as it finished I received the notification that I needed to connect to iTunes. As I had just backed up my information, I decided to just restore the phone as that was my only possible action at this point, and restore from the backup. After the recovery process, iTunes informed me that "Your request couldn't be processed. We're sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later." When I tried to activate wirelessly I was met with this response "Could Not Activate iPhone, Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If the problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support" I tried restoring about 8 times but now I'm just letting it sit to hopefully try again later.
