HT4623 my iphone 4 is going through the ios 7 update via itunes. the syncing is still going on for almost an hour. why is this taking so long?

Why is my phone stuck in the ios 7 update? My phone is currently stuck in the balck screen with the apple logo. The status line has not moved for 45 mins.

I was able to restore my phone!!!
I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
Solution:
After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!)

With the latest update of iTunes the download quits and gives me and error code of 2324

With the latest update of iTunes the download quits and gives me and error code of 2324. what do I do now? As iTunes wont open up.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

HT2693 I have been trying to down load 3 movies for the last week and they are still trying to download why is this taking so long we have the gig to download? Apple have charged us for the movies and we can't watch them

I have been trying to play my movies that I purchased but they have now been down loading for a week.
Why are they taking so long?

Cancel the downloads and reset the iPad (Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignor the off slider. Then turn the iPad back on). Go back to the Purchased screen in the I.tunes app and redownload. You may want to down load one at a time.

I am trying to update my ipad from iOS 4.3.5 to 6.1.3. 6 hours ago it said 49 hours and now says 53 hours. I am using a wifi connection. Why is this taking so long? at this rate i really don't see any progress. Please help!

I am trying to update my ipad 2 from iOS 4.3.5 to 6.1.3. 6 hours ago it said 49 hours and now says 53. I am making no progress. Please help. I am using wifi connection.

You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
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.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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.

IOS update via iTunes vs via WiFi

Just for my curiosity. What is the difference between updating the iOS with iTunes vs WiFi?
the reason why I am asking this because I read somewhere that sometime users have issue after the update their iOS over WiFi. Same user that update to the same iOS via iTunes does not have the same issue. I am talking about Battery Life, or Wifi Problem, or BlueTooht Issue, or Software Bug.
It is possibile that there is a minimum differece in software when the updated is maded over the WiFi vs iTunes?
Thank you

The OTA updates provides a delta update only while iTunes provided the whole build.
Some users have issues after installing the whole build with iTunes as well. If there is a problem after installing the delta update OTA, restoring the iPhone with iTunes to install the whole build for the update may resolve the problem.
I have installed all iOS updates OTA since the option became available and I haven't experienced any problems after doing so yet.

Trying to Download IOS Update via ITunes

Hi.....I have an IPhone 4. Im not able to download the most recent IOS7.0.6 update via wireless and am trying to update via ITunes.Phone is plugged in to PC. I have verified that I have the latest version of ITunes. However, when I go to file-devices, Backup is greyed out and the only option is "Restore from Backup". What am I doing wrong??

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature after the IOS update flash on the white screen either before or after the "hello".

Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature flash briefly when the white screen appeared? I don't know for sure if it was before or after the "hello" greeting.

If you leave it alone, it goes through several languages in a loop.
It's character, not caricature.

HT4413 migration from a PC to a Mac. my migration keeps freezing if the screensaver goes on. I have been trying to transfer my photos and music for almost 24 hours with no results :(

Hi. My wonderful hubby surprised me with a new MacBook Pro last night (he will be deploying soon and won't be home for the holidays, valentines day, my birthday or our anniversary)! I have a great camera and a TON of photos on my laptop that I don't want to lose. So I downloaded the migration software to my Asus and it starts out just fine and then freezes around the 1 hr and 48 minutes left. I have changed the energy settings so that it doesn't sleep, but still likes to freeze. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the screen saver? Can someone help this new Mac user? I feel like I'm learning a new language!

You have posted to the older PPC iMac forum. You need to poster to a newer iMac forum.

I have the 13 inch macbook pro bought in august 2011,the battery life instead of 7 hours lasts only for 3-4 hours why is this so

i was very impressed when i saw the 7 hour battery life of the macbook 13 in the store . but after using the system it only lasted 3-4 hours completely , same was the case for windows 7 pro. all the other functions of my mac are working fine.I buyed the system pin packed in front of me.I questioned the retailer about this but he had no clue what was happenig which caused this.I think this has something to do with china as my mac has been assembled in china and designed by apple californiahttp://computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/apple-macbook-pro-13-inch-2011-versio n these are the specs and the review of the system.but remove the phenominal battery life from the pros.I'm new to apple so please also provide me a location where i can get apple support in Pakistan

The 7 hour battery life is maximum that can be expected with minimal drain, but 3-4 hours either means you are using it very, very hard or the battery is bad. OR the gauge needs calibration, see below.
Turn off WiFi if you are not using it, and dim the display to also save battery power. It also depends on the applications that you are using.
One months is awfully fast for you to lose that much battery time. If the laptop was new, then I would talk to the seller about an exchange, at least exchanging the battery.
Have you tried calibrating the battery? See
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/9036.html
for how. Please note, this only calibrates when the MBP charges the battery and resets the calibration of time or percentage of battery charge left. The lithium battery does not have a memory.

Since I downloaded the last update of iTunes, the program can't connect to the airport speakers

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes for Windows and now my Airport Express can't connect.
Anybody else having this issue?

Yep. Annoying the crap out of me. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit and the airport utility can't find the express. It's stuck on "RESCAN".

Where do you get the ios update

Where do you find the iOS update?

iTunes will automatically get the iOS firmware for your iPhone.
You can always download iOS from Apple directly.
Here is the iOS 5.1.1 for iPhone 4S directly from Apple Server:

How do I stop iOS update notifications in the middle of the night?

How do I stop the iOS update notifications in the night. I do not need bright white update message while sleeping.

Settings App > Notification Center > App Store. You can take it out of Notifications altogether, or adjust the settings. (Turning OFF Show in Lock Screen might be enough).

Apple Configurator Could not refresh the ios update catalog

I tried to open up apple configurator today and it's giving me an arror saying "Could not refresh the iOS update catalog. The store's response could not be parsed." I have no idea how to even start troubleshooting this. any tips?

This is an annoying problem. I have phones and pads that I have to release for the Corporate world. I thought macs/apple were supposed to be perfect .
Any Fixes or responses to this as a potential iTunes problem.
Is this an iTunes to server conn problem or would this be a problem with the software to iTunes programming?

TS1717 While installing an the latest update to iTunes, my Windows program sent me a runtime error (R6034). I can no longer open iTunes. Advice?

While installing the latest updates to iTunes, the istallation stopped and Windows sent me a Runtime error (R6034) and suggests that I contact the applications support team. A second message appears to tell me that I should reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error1114) Any suggestions?

I had the identical problem with Runtime Error R6034s starting this week (on 1/22/2014) when the latest iTunes update installed. Tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes several times, but that didn't work. Someone suggested deleting the update. I found the "Apple Application Support" (93.2MB) update installed on 1/22, deleted it, reinstalled iTunes, and now iTunes seems to work OK. I don't get the repeated Runtime Error R6034 and Error 7 message, have been able to access the store, and play my saved music OK. My only concern is that the update will reappear and cause a repeat problem.

You may not get a response as you are shouting at everyone.
All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.
