  • Encountered error 6  when upgrading Iphone 5s from 7.1.2 to 8.3

    I encountered error 6  when upgrading Iphone 5s from 7.1.2 to 8.3
    I've tried upgrade iphone on three computers , the results are all the same.
    One of the computers successfully upgrade my ipad to 8.3.
    There are 2GB left on IPhone 5S before I perform the upgrade.
    It should be enough for iTunes to finish the process, right?
    But in the log, it says  "copier_file_error: /mnt2/mobile/Library/PreinstalledAssets/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font.cpio: No space left on device"
    why is that?
    Any way for me to continue the upgrade?  it seems it's almost done.
    Thank you
    the end of the log  is as below:

    Hello there, Kenduck.
    It sounds like you are trying to update your iPhone 5s to the most current version of iOS and are getting an Error 6 message. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to that very error message:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Particularly:
    Check your security software
    Errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006.
    Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
    If you still see the error message, check for USB connection issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Kind Regards,
    Pedro.

  • TS1363 I was upgrading iPhone OS from 5.1 to 5.1.1 on Win 7 using iTunes 10.6.1.7.  The iPhone hung.  It is no longer visible by iTunes on Win 7

    While upgrading iPhone OS from 5.1 to 5.1.1 on Win 7 using iTunes 10.6.1.7, the iPhone hung.  I could not get iTunes to find it and Win 7 does not see it.
    When I connect the iPhone to the USB, Win 7 issues the welcome sound, but that is it.  The same happens when I disconnect iPhone.
    The Devise Manager has the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver correct without any problem.  I updated this driver called usbaapl64.
    The iPhone is still hung.
    I restarted the iPod service
    I restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service
    I tried to empty and delete the temp directory in C:\users\myname\AppData\Local\ but could not
    The iTunes I am using is the latest version
    I updated the Apple Mobile Device Driver as stated above correctly
    The iPhone is still hung and is not recognized by Win 7 or iTunes, so I cannot restore the OS to the previous working version
    What else can I do to restore the previous working OS on my iPhone 4

    I was connecting the iPhone 4 to a USB 3.0 port.  I was told by Apple Express Support (at US$29.99) not to use USB 3.0 and to use USB 2.1 instead.
    If you are connecting your iPhone to the computer using a USB 3.0 port, disconnect it immediately.  iPhones will lock up if you try to update while  using a connection through a USB 3.0 port.
    Disconnect the iPhone from the computer
    Go to Device Manager and find the connected USB port.  Click the mouse right button and update the driver
    Shut the iPhone by pressing the sleep button and the home button concurrently for some time
    Move the USB cable to a USB 2.1 port or older without the iPhone.  
    Restart iTunes.
    Connect the iPhone
    Your computer should recognize the phone and reloads the correct USB 2.1 driver (Apple Mobile Device)
    Then iTunes should recognize the iPhone and starts reloading the firmware.
    When that is complete it may ask if you wish to restore, naturally you say YES
    iTunes will restore the iOS
    Using iTunes, restore the latest backup to get your data back.
    When all of the above is completed.  Start enjoying your iPhone.
    If the above does not work.  Throw your iPhone out of the window and get a replacement Android phone.

    I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

    if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.
    ai cs6 requires:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.*
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024 x 768 display (1280 x 800 recommended) with 16-bit video card

  • How to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3

    how to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3
    I dont want to upgrade it to 4.0 yet.
    Just up to 3.1.3 from 3.0.1
    how can i do it.

    That's because Apple is no longer signing v3.1.3 nor any firmware other than iOS4.  You could try following a downgrade to v3.1.3, see these:

  • Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

    The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
    Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
    If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you did not change the Apple ID, yes. As you got the iPhone from another person, I would recommend you to delete everything from the device by going to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings, and then set it up with your Apple ID.
    During that process, you may have to type your partner's Apple ID password, so you may have to contact with her.

  • When trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone with itunes the device does not appear int he upper right hand corner anymore

    when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on

    In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
    Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.
