I can't get my iphone to update software (currently using 6.1)

Hi there,
You may wonder why my software is so old, mostly it's because everytime I try and update software, it tells me my backup is corrupt.  I have deleted previous backups, and updated iTunes and PC software.  What else can I do?

iPhone not detected in Windows

  • Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

    Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
    Thank You!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • How can I get my iphone to update contacts to icloud?

    I reset my entire phone (4s) in order to restore mistakenly deleted contacts to the phone. The problem is, every time I do this, I just lose them again because it is synching with iCloud and instead of adding new contacts to the cloud, it's deleting them from my phone! HELP! I am only able to keep them on the phone if I turn off wifi right after I reset the phone and restore to iCloud backup.

    logically one would think that would work. It just keeps removing the contacts I restored to my phone instead of saving them to the cloud. Then it synchs to the cloud and removes the contacts. Here is my thought- should I delete all my contacts on the cloud and then wait for it to synch?

  • I can't get my iPhone to work with projector using keynote.

    I've tried using my iPad with the same projector and same presentation. It works. But, my notes (massive amount of notes, not conducive to keynotes presenter notes) need to be on my iPad, so I would love to setup my iPad as the remote, and the iPhone as the presentation host via a VGA into the projector. So far no luck. Any suggestions?

    I don't think there's any way to do that - to control one iOS device with another.

  • How can I get ipod touch to update software after being reset?

    I recently reset my ipod touch so I could sell it. It seemed to reset fine but now will not allow any software updates. It currently has 2.1 and gives an error message when trying to update saying there is a hardware problem.

    What is the exact wording of the erro message?

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

  • HT4528 I updated my iphone but it is requiring me to plug in to itunes, I can not get in to it bc my laptop is broken, is there anyway around it? Can I get out of the update? It is stuck on the "Plug into iTunes screen"

    I updated my iphone but it is requiring me to plug in to itunes, I can not get in to it bc my laptop is broken, is there anyway around it? Can I get out of the update? It is stuck on the "Plug into iTunes screen"

    If you are in a screen to plug into iTunes, then the device is in recovery mode. Your only option is to connect to the computer to restore the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • HT1365 How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again

    How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again?

    Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
    Plug the iPhone in.
    In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
    In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
    Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
    Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's.

  • If you can't get your Iphone to sync or show up in itunes look here!!!!!!!

    FOUND THE ANSWER!!
    Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
    What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
    1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
    and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
    matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
    2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
    o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
    o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
    o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
    You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
    Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
    name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
    If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
    been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
    3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
    o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
    Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
    o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
    ‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
    4. Update the driver:
    o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
    ‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
    o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
    o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
    ‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
    In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
    containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
    above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
    then click Next.
    You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
    installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
    to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
    If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
    http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
    And putting it here:
    C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

    It's still not working. I went through every step and still can't get my Iphone to show up on my itunes.
    Though I did find that the USB driver is not listed under any devices...

  • How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

    How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
    I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned."  I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile.  I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number.  But the person it says is not the person I said. 
    It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

    Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7.  Then it went out the window.  I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem.  If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.
