  • Unable to update my iphone 6 to IOS 8.2.

    I have been trying to update my iPhone 6 to IOS 8.2 since I got it a few days ago because Touch ID kept giving me an error message. Upon attempting to update my phone remotely I'd get an error message that the update could not be installed. I tried plugging my phone into itunes to update and it seemed to be working until I recieved error 53 and the install had failed again. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode because it can't finish its restoration either.

    Just managed to upgrade after the 5th attempt.

    In the process of upgrading my iPhone from iTunes, to iOS-5 or iOS-6, gives me a message saying "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". Please help me ..... I have already updated my Windows Updates, I also have updated my iTunes. When I try to sync my iPhone to iTunes, it says something about backup restore or some other stuff.

  • Unable to update my iPhone 4 to 6.0.1.

    I am unable to update my iPhone 4G to iOS 6.01.  Says download failed.

    Correct, because you need iTunes 10.7, and your iMac is too old to support it.
    If your iPhone has iOS 5, you can update it over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
    But my guess is you don't have iOS 5.
    So you'll need a newer computer, or go to an Apple Store and they can help you.

    Are you currently on ios 4?  If so that's where the backup comes in.  You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

    Since updating my IPhone 4 to IOS 6, I am unable to pull up the list of Purchased apps under the Apps/Updates.  I suspect I am too low on RAM to load the entire list of purchased apps.  Any solution?

    Hi Urs
    I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
    I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
    When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
    Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
    Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
    It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
    The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
    The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
    My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
    I hope this info is a little help for you!!
    Let me know if this works for you, ok?
    Best regards,
    Wolfgang

  • HT4972 I tried to update my iPhone 3S with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

    Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
    Two things come into my mind:
    1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
    2) Apples activation servers are down.
    That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.
