HT4972 Updating from iOS4 to iOS5 or later without newest version of iTunes

I can't download the newest version of iTunes (my computer is work-issued, I don't have an administrator password), but I would like to update my iPhone from iOS4 to iOS5. Is there a way I can do this without updating iTunes?

You can not upgrade to iOS 5 at all. Only to iOS 6. Over the air updates can only be done when iOS 5 or higher is installed.
Even if you find a way to update to iOS 6 using another computer, you will not be able to sync with your work computer any more.
Side note. Syncing your personal information to a company owned machine may not be wise. If the phone is not company issued/owned, you really should be syncing it with your personal computer.

  • Updating iPhone from ios4 to ios5. Finished backing up, but both iTunes and iPhone seem to be frozen - nothing happening.  What do I do?

    This is truly weird - my iPhone4 successfully updated from iOS4 - iOS5,  but it didn't back up any of my apps/contacts/stuff. etc.   I still have the right phone number but everything else, including email account info and photos are my daughter-in-laws, the photos are all dated 2008. What on earth happened?

    NO need to do a double posting on the same subject.
    If your getting data from 2008, that means you didn't backup your phone prior to doing the update.  

  • HT4972 How to update from iOS4 to iOS5 ?

    Hello ! My iPad iOS4 now . How can I update ?  Because never come information for update iOS of my iPad .

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 7.0.4 - for how to do it follow the instructions on the page that you posted from.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes (you will need the latest version installed) and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • How do I update from iPhoto 7.1.5 to the newest version?

    I don't have much memory on my computer.  I have TONS of photos.  Many are large format and Photoshop files.  I'm trying to get all my photos saved onto iCloud and off my computer, however I need to update my outdated iphoto '08 to the latest version first. Help!

    I don't use iCloud so someone here may be able to help you regarding Cloud backups and space limitations. What is the total  GB that your photo collections take?
    However, it is very critical if you have precious data on your computer to have AT LEAST one external backup system. It could be a Time Machine or a regular and updated clone of your drive, and ideally both. I use a Time Machine and TWO clones.
    Also it might be a good idea to post the specs of your computer. If it dates back to 2008 then today's new hard drives are at least 4 times larger than those shipped then. I know because I started with a 250GB drive, upgraded to a 750GB drive and have just ordered a 1 TB drive this week! But the most important thing is to have a backup of all your data, and ideally a backup of your backup!

  • HT3604 is it free to update from aperture 2.1.4 to the newest version?

  • HT1926 How can I update to newest version of itunes to use my new nano?

    I am logged in as administrator, the updater keeps telling me that it does not have permissions to complete the update so i cant use the new nano because i cant update to 10.7 or later.

    The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.

  • HT4972 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes.  However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version.  How do I update?

    I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes.  However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version.  How do I update?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers.  This was working until about a month ago.  I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite).  I have also rebooted both.

    I am unable to drage songs from a shared music library between computers.   This used to work perfectly until a month ago.   I have installed the newest version of Itunes on both computers and have rebooted them, but nothing happens when I try to drag a song to another playlist or another shared folder.  Any ideas how to fix this?

  • Trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting  "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer"  reinstalling doesnt work.  and then it says error 7 (windows error 126)

    trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting  "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer"  reinstalling doesnt work.  and then it says error 7 (windows error 126).  Any help would be appreciated.  Using Windows 7 enterprise on an hp Z600

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I can not install the newest version of iTunes because of a file that can not be found. This is what I am seeing:(The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. C:\......\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why does my iPod touch 2g only update to 4.2.1 and my newest version of iTunes doesn't show previous purchases?

    I had my iPod updated to 4.3.3 onces then after backing it up in iTunes some of my apps I purchased were missing and it only let me update to 4.2.1. I have the newest version of iTunes just updated a couple minutes ago.

    The iPod touch 2nd gen can only update to iOS 4.2.1. Hardware restrictions prevent it from updating any farther.

  • IPod touch erased when I updated and synced it on a different operating system.  Forgot password to backup file.  Windows 7 is a bust for the newest version of itunes.  Tired of fooling with it, so I tried to update and sync ipod to hubby's laptop.

    Sooooooo sick of trying to fix the bug with the newest version of itunes and Windows 7.  I'm over it.  Tried syncing ipod to hubby's laptop.  When update and sync was complete, all my apps, music, and pictures were gone.  When I open my itunes account on his computer, they are gone from there as well.  I cannot open itunes on my computer because I cannot fix the compatability issue.  Don't tell me how to go to 'computer', click 'program files' etc. etc......  Did that, unchecked compatability mode and nothing is fixed.  About to take a hammer to darned thing.

    Also, I have forgotten the password to my backup file, which could solve everthing.  I don't really remember ever setting a password for the backup file.  Tried every password I've ever used with this device.

  • When I try to update to the newest version of itunes it won't let me. Why?

    It also says 'the path cannot be found. Verify you have access to this folder and try again or try to find the folder 'iTunes.msi' from which you can install the product iTunes'  I have found this folder and entered it in but the same thing comes up.
