HT4623 Problems Updating My iOS!
I've just sync'ed my Iphone 4 and it said that newer versions of Itunes / QuickTime were available. I updated these.
When my phone was connected it the itunes told me a newer version of iOS 6.0.1 was available for my phone did i want to download and install.
I ok'd it and itunes backed up my phone and then downloaded the iOS. My phone was then in recovery mode - itunes wanted me to restore my phone so it would work with itunes. When I look at the progress of update and restore it completes but my phone is left in recovery mode and I can not get it out of this state which means I can not reinstall my backed up data and essentially I'm left with a VERY EXPENSIVE paperweight!
The phone was purchased originally from Apple factory setting unlocked.
Any assistance gratefully recieved
What model iPad and what iOS are you currently running?
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.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
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).

Anybody still having problems updating to ios 5?
Anybody still having problems updating to ios 5?
I have had no success in updating my Verizon 32GB i Phone 4 with ios5. Every time I go thru the update software process I get an error message 3104. I follow the thread and it has me re-load i Tunes. I have done this and still get the error 3194 and will not let me install ios 5. I have a Dell 64 Bit processor running Windows 7 (64). Very dissipointed, this is the first glitch I have had after converting to Apple. Also having the same problem with iPAD2 update for ios5. So this may point to a problem with i Tunes.
I have gone to Google and looked up the problem and there appear to be several fixes such as add a line of language to the i Tumes software or remove a line. This is a little too much for a mear mortal like me to be fooling around with re-writing software language.
Frustration level - High. Dissipointment level - Higher.
Thanks for the venue... -
Since updating to IOS 7.0.4 My pictures no longer automatically load to my PC's photo stream folder. I have not changed any settings after upgrading from IOS 7.0.3. What could be the problem?

HT4528 Problem updating to IOS 7 - phone locks up
My iPhone has locked up in the middle of updating to IOS 7. Screen will only show the iTunes icon with the white USB cable image and the white arrow pointing to the iTunes icon. If I try to turn off the phone, it appears to shut off but will bring the same image back up when it connects to iTunes or I try to turn it on. HELP!! I'm flying to a conference in the morning and need my phone!!
Thanks!The "unavailable" message most likely has nothing to do with the setup on your end. The servers are crazy busy right now (everyone and their brother seems to be updating right at release), so it could just be that it's having problems establishing a connection. May want to try it again later tonight or tomorrow.

HT4623 After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,Can anyone help.thanx
After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,can anyone help
My suggestion:
Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
3.Sync your device again.
It probably will help you.
Good Luck -
I decided to update my itouch which is currently in 4.3.3 version software. I am always having this message! "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "iPod". The network connection could not be estalished." Everything on my ipod is fine especially after I restored it through iTunes a while back. Wifi and everything works normally. I updated my iTunes to 10.1 version thinking it would help, but it isnt. Please help.
- To update to iOS 5 you need iTunes 10.5 or laetr. The current version is 10.6.
- Try disabling your computer's security software during hte download and update. However, here may be an Apple server problem. -
Having problems updating to iOS 5 for iPod Touch.
I own an iPod touch 32GB, 3rd generation. I have version 4.3.5 at the moment. When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to update it to 5.0.1 (iOS 5) a message comes up that says "Updating to iOS 5.0.1 will delete all of the media, including iTunes store purchases, on your iPod Touch. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos." I have never used another computer for my iPod. When iOS 5 first came out I was able to update my iPone 4 perfectly with out any problems. Is anyone else having/had this problem or getting/got this message?
If you had been using this computer for syncing, the music should still be present in iTunes:
Connect your iPod to the computer either via cable or wireless and check the iTunes settings. Finally, do a sync. -
HT4623 I updated my ios to ios6 but what happen was it lock and can turn off the iphone?

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to restart. If still problem, Restore iPhone on your computer. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to compter with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click the Restore button of iTunes.

I aquired my used MacBook Pro when entering college three years ago. When the IOS 7 iphone update came out yesterday I updated my iphone. After the update I attempted to sync my iphone to itunes on my MacBook Pro. When attempting to do this I recieved a pop-up that stated I would not be able to sync my iphone with IOS 7 to itunes until I downloaded itunes version 11.
I then visited the itunes site to download this version of itunes. When attempting the update, I recived a pop-up that stated I was unable to download this version of itunes because my MacBook Pro does not have IOS 6 installed.
I am not sure how to install IOS 6 or if my computer is able to update to IOS 6 since it was made in 2007. I occasionally have difficulties updating other programs because my computer is outdated and I was wondering if IOS 6 is the same.
Thanks for your help.It sounds like it is not allowing you to install the newest version of iTunes because you do not have OSX 10.6.8 installed. Click on the -> About This Mac and check the version number. If it is anything less than 10.6 you need to purchase Snow Leopard from Apple.

The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move, no matter what I click on. I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen. How do I remedy this nightmare?
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try updating the software again.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?
If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
