HT4623 my software update is not on the phone

my software updat is not there n my phone needs updating

Hi nikki,
What IOS is running on your iPhone? Software upates on the phone are only there if you have IOS 5.0 or higher installed. To do updates with a lower IOS, you must hook it up to a computer and update through iTunes.
Cheers,

  • N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

    Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
    I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
    In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
    I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
    What do I do?
    Regards,
    Anders
    By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

    I don't know if that problem might be interconnected with the other in some way or not.

  • Nokia Software updater is not recogonizing the new...

    I can see so mant thread and discussion about the new firmware for nokia n95 8GB(RM-320), according to that the new firmware version is v35, but when i use my S/W updater its showing the update version as V31(the same i have in my Smartphone).
    Can any one help me, is this update is not yet release to India or any issues with updater???
    Thanks in advance.

    Firmware are given to  public according to the location of each ones, i mean according to the country. Saying so if you are in Canada you might have a different firmware version with someone located in Hong Kong.  Also your phone have a number inside that help the SW Updater undertake your location and that number inside your phone will not allow you to have another location updates unless you change that code, note that changing that code can also change the displayed languages on your phone all depending on which country code you put inside your phone, so if your S/W updater its showing the update version as V31(the same i have in my Smartphone) it mean that the latest software update for your phone according to the code inside your phone is still version V31; and the version 35 belong to some other countries. Now check again to find out what country can download the version 35, and if you satisfy with the languages provided by that firmware 35 find the nokia country code for your nokia and input it in your phone and finally run your software updater again.  Press the star icon on the left if my post help you.

  • HT4623 I downloaded the iso software update on iphone4 from the phone and know the phone is switching on and off with apple logo please help iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

    I saw a software update in general settings so i let it downloaded.. it took hours and now the screen with apple sign appears and going but the phone is not turning on.. iphone 4 

    Coincidentally I have had the same problem and I am also on Reliance network. I learnt the lesson in an expensive way (Read at Rs.17/min as this is the ISD rate of Reliance for calling to USA). I did mnp (mobile number portability, you oldie!) from Airtel to Reliance. So I had the inactive nano sim of Airtel. I took out the Reliance sim and inserted the Airtel sim into my iPhone 5s. By the time it was serching for the network, I quickly navigated to settings>phone and turned that damned dial assit off. That's it. Now when I inserted the Reliance sim and dialled the toll free numbers it was working perfectly, means free of cost. But I still wonder how come Reliance does not send the post call charge notification after the ISD calls? I had to call 198 to know about the balance deduction.

  • Software Update does not detect the upgrade of Boot Camp to 3.1 for Windows

    I want to install Windows 7 HP 64 bit. I invoked Software Update so Boot Camp Assistant could be upgraded to ver. 3.1 that has Win 7 support. It said my system is up to date. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2, but I still have BC 3.06, not the new 3.1.
    When I went to Apple support site to download the new version in 64 bit, the download turned out to be a Windows executable file. I cannot install that in the MacOS. How do I get the necessary upgrade to 3.1 so I can use Boot Camp to dual boot. I have to install XP first so I can use my Windows 7 upgrade DVD.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply, but I am still confused about two things. First, how do I obtain the updated Boot Camp Assistant so I have the 3.1 compatibility for Windows 7? Second, I read in the Boot Camp guide that unless I have an earlier version of Windows already dual booting with OSX, that I should only install Win7 using the full retail DVD rather than the upgrade. I have an unused copy of XP and I already have the upgrade Win7 package, so I thought I would do a quick basic install of XP and then do a custom install of Win7.
    Will Boot Camp react badly if I try to use the upgrade Win7 as you suggested, doing a custom install without entering the product key and then immediately reinstalling the upgrade over itself a second time?
    Thanks, I really appreciate your help on this. I am very new to the Mac world.

  • Ran Software Updates - Computer not performing the same

    At the suggestion of someone at the Genius Bar, I recently ran and installed the software updates, including OS 10.4.9
    I've been working on a movie for months which was playing very smoothly until I installed these updates, now it's skipping and jumping, making it impossible to work on it. I've changed the playback to Standard. I've tried choosing a few frames at a time and "sharing" them in iDVD to view them but even in iDVD they're jumpy and skipping. I close all other programs. I ran "repair disk permissions". I ran out of ideas. Nothing seems to work.
    Last night I installed a 1G memory card hoping this would solve the problem - nothing.
    Someone mentioned that my computer may not be able to support 10.4.9 because I don't have enough memory (the guy at the Genius Bar told me 1G is the max I can add).
    Any suggestions? Can I uninstall the updates and get back to where I was? Help!
    Thanks - Z
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   installed 1G memory card recently

    whoops - seems I posted in the wrong forum. Sorry about that - I'll repost. Thanks - Z

  • I Phone 4S. I am unable to update the software. Evidently my I Mac ( 10.4) will not allow or support the sw update. How can I update  this device? The phone function is not currently working either. HELP ! at t

    I am unable to update my I Phone 4s through I-Tunes. I believe its due to my antiquated  10.4 operating system on my 2005 I Mac. How can I perform the software update. Currently even the phone function will not work . I'm a novice with this device.

    Whatever version of Leopard you purchase, I suggest updating it to 10.5.8 which should have everything you require. To update Leopard download and install Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update. Alternatively, open Software Update and install all the recommended updates. That will include the above updater.
    To update your phone:

       2. iPhone Support

         a. Updating Your iOS to Version 6.0.x from iOS 5

         If an update is available there will be an active Update button. If you are current,
         then you will see a gray screen with a message saying your are up to date.

  • HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

    My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

    Snow Leopard DVD:
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
    Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
    If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Specifications;
    Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
    Lion 10.7.x;
    Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
    As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)

    You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
    Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
    To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
    Good luck

    This feature is only available on iOS 5 or later.  You must still be running iOS 4.  Connect your iPad to the computer you usually sync with and run iTunes software update.
