I can't get the new iPhone software to install

I have iTunes 8.2.1.6 I am trying to update my iPhone to software version 3.0.1
I have never been asked where I want to download this to. And iTunes happily fills up my OS disk partition and fails #*?&!!!! :-@
Why on earth would I ever want my iPhone software in my PC operating system partition?!?
How do I get it to use my data disk partition instead? Also, how much disk space do I need? Apple refuse to tell me, and they won't help me get the update to work. I may have to ask for my money back....

I realised the location was C:\Documents and Settings\...\iPhone Software Updates
The update I have downloaded (version 3.0.1) is just under 236MB (or 230MiB). I still have 216MiB left on my C: drive after downloading the file, but when I try to install it, it runs out of space.
I have moved all the "temp" directories to a different disk partition, and I'm only installing software to this data partition now. Occasionally I have to uninstall and re-install software to maintain this. I also keep having to move stuff (like these update files) out of "Documents and Settings". Sadly I failed to keep my existing user accounts and their settings when I moved this folder to a different partition, so I had to put it back
What I was asking is how do I change the folder used for either the download or the extracted files? And if this, as I suspect, is not possible, how much free space to I need in my Windows partition?!?

Itunes says that i need 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes

itunes says that i need itunes 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes. i cant seem to figure out how to get the new iphone software cause it keeps telling me to download updates, and then it does and update search and says im all updated.

I had a similar issue. I had to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it. Assuming PC, you have to go to the control panel and use the uninstall applications tool. Then install it again. Worked for me.

Can i get the new iPhone?

I have the original iPhone and the black part (antenna cover) broke off and it just generally seems to not be working well. Quite frankly i am sick of having to reset it. If i got the phone in September and agreed to a 2 year deal, can i terminate that deal and get the new iPhone? thanks.

Yes, Monkey you can. The original iPhone was not subsidized, and it is well-advertised on the AT&T and Apple websites that original iPhone owners can upgrade to the 3G for the subsidized price of 199/299. Naturally, you'll have to pay the higher data feeds and resign a new 2 year contract.
Hope this helps.

Can i get the new iPhone and sell my old iPhone?

I have the 4GB original iPhone and i was wondering if it was possible for me to upgrade to the new iPhone for the $199 price. If i can, am i able to sell my old on eBay? Some people say i can get the 8GB for 199 and some say i can get it for 499. I don't have an upgrade available and i signed a 2 year contract in September. Is this at all possible?

My understanding is that any current iPhone owner with an AT&T contract can get the $199/$299 prices regardless of when they last upgraded or renewed. Rationale seems to be that the original iPhone purchase was not subsidized by AT&T.
If that were not true, no current owner would be able to get the prices above, since we all bought the iPhone about 12-13 months ago at most and have no less than 11 months left on our two-year commitments.
I'm sure there is info on this on line somewhere. But best just go to an Apple store or an AT&T store and ask them.

I have firefox 4 Beta installed on my computer and I can't get the new Firefox 4 to install, so some of the functions don't work,such as dropdowns on Google Toolbar? How can I fix this?

I installed Firefox 4 beta when it was available as a tester before Firefox 4 was released, so I had two versions of Firefox on my computer. When Firefox 4 was released this week, I installed it and it replaced Firefox 3.6.15. For some reason it seems it didn't install the full version of Firefox 4, instead it's a similar version to the Beta version. For example, the drop down on Google search doesn't work when you click on an item in the drop down. Also the orange button that is supposed to replace the buttons on the top left of the browser is not there. It still has the 8 buttons, ie File, Edit, etc. How can I get the full version to install on my computer? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and I get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP Media center Edition OS. Please advise me on how to fix this. Thanks.

I also have a question. Have you ever been able to access these sites from the Firefox on that computer?

Problem when getting the new iphone software iOS4

I did the download to get the software but during the download i had a call ... didnt seem to disturb the download.. it then said it was backing up (syncing)... and then it would say "cancelling back up" n stop... ive tried to do it again .. many times and ive even turned both my laptop and my iphone off n retried it. but it goes straight to "backing up" but it cancells again! any help?!

I also had trouble with updating to OS4 through iTunes update. What I did to get around it is this:
1. Set iPhone to airplane mode and wifi off
2. Open iTunes and connect iPhone
3. If update message comes up - cancel (do not download and do not install)
4. Create a backup (via sync and backup)
5. While that is working, go to this site and download the 3GS OS4 firmware to your desktop.
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone4/061-7437. 20100621.5urG8/iPhone2,14.0_8A293Restore.ipsw
6. When 4 and 5 are complete, disconnect iPhone and reconnect it
7. At the iPhone summary page, "shift + click" restore and select the firmware from the desktop.
8. After upgrading the firmware to OS4, iTunes should recognize that the device has already been associated and offer to restore the most recent backup.

Firefox crashes when loading certain pages and I can't get the new adobe flash to install so I can't listen to everything. I have a Linux system.

Do I need to install an other more update version? I just can't get adobe to install. Also I can't get ANY copier, printer, etc. to work on this system. I don't want to remove Linux or Firefox because they catch all the "junk". Can you help? I'm not the best at this and I will do my best.

I had that problem myself and was forced to download the installer for "other browsers" using Internet Explorer at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ . After I did that it installed correctly. You can also try downloading the FULL installers for flash at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html . Just make sure that all browser windows are closed before you run either of these.

Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
1) In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
2) Turn on calendars on the same page.
You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync. Do they no long sync?

Try updating it on your computer. If you get a message that your iPhone is up to date then you actually have an iPhone 4, not a 4s.
Settings > General > About > Model number. What does it show?
