I can't update to IOS5, when I connect it to my macbook nothing happened like they say..

I got the LION on my macbook pro, and it says just connect my iphone4 and iTunes will guide me to update to ios5 but it doesn't.
How can I update??

As for the file extracting, I meant to say that when I try to download the extracted applesoftwareupdate, it cannot be downloaded because the previous applesoftwareupdate cannot be located and uninstalled.

  • HT4061 my iphone 4s is in a coma, my sleep button does not work and when i connect it to my charger nothing happens, help!

    my iphone 4s unexpectedly stopped working, it wont turn on and my sleep key has not worked in months so i am unable to reboot the phone by holding the sleep key and home button . all i see is a black screen that is lit. when i connect it to the charger nothing happens. please help me!

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Make an appointment at any Apple store, an out of warranty replacement is US $199 for an iPhone 4S. It that's too much money, find a third-party repair service. But, be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you void all support from Apple & forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement. Also, since Apple does not sell parts, there is no way to determine if any parts used to fix your phone are genuine or knock offs.

  • TS3274 How can i update to ios5 when settings doesnt show update software option

    How can i update to ios5 or better when settings does not show software update option....and it wont update thru my pc itunes?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • HT1414 I recently cancelled mobil me, then I lost all my contacts...no problem I retrieved them from my address book on my mac pro.  NOW I can't update my apps when asked.  My password is not accepted.  The print says to use my mobileme account...  Yikes

    Please help me figure out why I can't update my apps or get new ones...Thanks.  I recently cancelled my mobile me account and a lot of strange and frustrating changes have taken place

    I thought I finally found the answer in post https://discussions.apple.com/message/10843915#10843915
    I deviated from the instructions by manually deleting all my contacts while in Mobile Me before trying the forced update because it hadn't worked in the past to force transfer the addresses. I thought starting with a clean slate might be a step ahead. Now that clean slate seems permanent.
    The gutsy move was to make Mobile Me download the empty address book into my MacPro. My address book went empty until I restored it through the archive I'd saved. It proved the computer and Mobile Me are communicating since it wiped out my address book on my desktop. I restored everything by importing the archive back into the address book. Thankfully that part is fine.
    What is not working is for me to get ANY addresses to move back to Mobile Me despite repeated attempts at changing the reset action through the advanced selection of Mobile Me in System Preferences. I've unselected syncing and restarted the computer. I've signed out of MM and signed back in. I've closed the browser and opened it fresh again. I've closed and opened Address Book on the computer. None of those actions make a whit of difference. Mobile Me contacts remains empty when I tell it to replace MM with the contents of my AB on my MacPro.
    I see under the gear there is an ability to import vCards. Is there any way to do a batch import? I have almost 700 addresses separated into more than a dozen groups. It will be a mighty tedious process to import them one by one.
    No, iCloud is not an option. My computer is one version too old to upgrade to Lion.

  • I can't update to iOS5

    I keep getting message saying that iTunes can't update to iOS5 because applesoftwareupdate.msi cannot be found. I've tried extracting the files from iTunes setup using winRAR, but I'm still getting an error because the old applesoftwareupdate.msi cannot be uninstalled. I've even Tried using add/remove programs to remove it from my computer and then use the extracted file but it still can't be located. Previous threads have said to use Windows Startup Utility or something , but that is not available anymore. I am really frustrated and have had to use a different computer to connect my iPad to. My iPod is on the computer that won't update so my apps are not going to be able to be transferred to my iPad. HELP PLEASE!!

    As for the file extracting, I meant to say that when I try to download the extracted applesoftwareupdate, it cannot be downloaded because the previous applesoftwareupdate cannot be located and uninstalled.

    What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

  • I have an Ipod touch 6 and can't updated apps. When I click update, nothing happen. Any clue?

    I have an Ipod touch 6 and can't updated apps. When I click update, nothing happen. Any clue?
    Thanks,

    There is no iPod Touch 6.  The latest generation is iPod Touch 5.  Perhaps you mean you have an iPod running iOS 6.1.6.  If so, you have a 4th generation iPod which cannot update past 6.1.6.  A 5th generation iPod can run iOS 7

  • HT5622 How can i update my apps when someone elses Apple id is requested?

    How can I update my apps when someone elses Apple ID is requested and the person no longer has their iphone or remembers their password?

    If someone else's Apple ID comes up when trying to update an app it means that that app was downloaded or purchased under that Apple ID and not yours. Apps are always associated with the ID used to download or purchase them the first time.
    To avoid this from happening in the future delete that apps purchased under the other ID and download or purchase them with your ID.

  • My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for os update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?

    My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

    can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

    What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
    You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
    But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

  • I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?

    Question
    I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC

    After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC
    Before that, I can see an botton said my ipad. And then I can click it to operate my ipad

    Try this
    Go into the control panel. Add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    There seems to be a glitch with a recent update and one way to overcome it is to just start over. If that doesn't work there are more in depth things you can do.

  • HT4623 I updated my ipad to iOS 6 yesterday and it worked immediately after update.  I left home for about 4 hours and when I returned I was uable to get my ipad to come up. I only have a black screen.  When I press the on off button nothing happens.

    I updated my ipad to iOS 6 yesterday and it worked immediately after updating my ipad worked as it should.  I left and came back in about 4 hours and have a black screen.  When I press the on off button nothing happens.  Help.

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep/on/off and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
