I have an iphone 4 (ios 4.3.1). I want to update to the latest ios, but it wouldn't load onto my iphone, I got error message code 3014. I tried again and it said I would lose all the contents on my iphone if I continued - help!

I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.1) and it was synced and backed up today.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest ios on iTunes (today's date is 3rd Jan 2013), it seemed to download ok (it took about 30 minutes or so), but when it tried to update onto the iPhone (I think this was what it was doing!) I got an error message that had code 3014 in it. Nowhere on Apple's website can I find a way to resolve this error code.
I then thought I would just try again from the beginning, but I then got an error message saying that if I continued I would lose all the contents on my iPhone so I cancelled it as I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
Can anyone help me as I am not very good at technical things and I really want to upgrade the ios on my iPhone without losing all the data I have on there already. An idiots guide would be great.
Thanks.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • HT1491 I bought a season pass to season 6 of the Penguins of Madagascar, and it said I would get all the new episodes in the season for free. But a new episode just came out, and it wants me to pay for the whole season pass over again. why is this happeni

    Does anyone know what is going on?

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

    Hi,
    you need to discuss with the basis team to increase the abap buffersize.
    there is a parameter in the transaction rz11.
    go to RZ11 and then wirte parameter as abap/buffersize
    check its value.
    if you increase it,   problem will be solved i guess.
    thanks

  • I typed in my movie redeem code and it said it was unavailable currently, then I tried again and it said it was already redeemed, but I cannot find it

    How do i find where to redeem my code, the code I got was from the insert of a movie where you can get ultra violet and digital copy.

    Hello, elliotthunt4. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is an article I would recommend when experiencing issues activating a device.  The step referring to recovery mode usually resolves the issue. 
    iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
    To retrieve your data, you will need to restore from backup after processing these steps.  Here is the article that walks you through restoring from either your iCloud or iTunes backup.

  • HT4914 I will soon be getting a new PC and I'd hate to lose all the music I've purchased/downloaded from places other than iTunes , is iMatch my solution or am I out of luck?

    From what I've read I think this is my solution , but I'm still unsure.

    The general question of copying all user data and settings to a new computer is really out of scope for this forum - however, Microsoft does have tools and tutorials on their site on how to do this (details will vary depending on the version(s) of Windows running on your old and new computers.  A Google search for "Windows transfer data to new computer" should provide useful results.
    Detailed instructions specific to iTunes also depend on the version(s) of Windows you're running, and on how your current iTunes library is organized.  If you can post a response with answers to the following questions I can point you in the right direction.
    What version of Windows in running on your old computer?
    What version of Windows is running on your new computer?
    Do you have either:
    a network that both old and new computers are connected to, or
    an external (USB) hard drive?
    What version of iTunes are you running on the old computer?
    Now, on your old computer run iTunes (I'll assume for now that its running version 11), press Ctrl-B if the menu bar is not visible, then select Edit > Preferences > Advanced.  You should get a window that looks like this:
    What is shown as the "iTunes Media folder location" (1)?
    Is the box labeled "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" (2) checked?
    Is the box labeled "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" (3) checked?

  • I got second redeem code, which was wrong again, and gave me OS X Server instead of OS X Mountain Loin

    This morning I got another code from Apple, again, it was the wrong code. This time it did not give me the error, but instead, it gave me OS X Server App from the App Store.

    I got this too! *** Apple????????
    The message I got when I entered the code was something like "Can't install OS X Server on this computer because it requires OS X Mountain Lion to be installed first."
    Apple is rubbing salt in the wound considering all I want is my copy of Mountain Lion!
    Seriously unimpressed.

    @ Gypsygypsy,
    You will need to have location services on for maps and the other apps that you require location settings for.

    I hope this helps

  • Hello this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I am trying to down load a movie and it keeps giving me error -50. I have signed out and back in and deleated the download and tryed again and still will not download.

    Hello this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I am trying to down load a movie and it keeps giving me error -50. I have signed out and back in and deleated the download and tryed again and still will not download.

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

    Trying to purchase an app, putting in my passord and saying un known error has occoured? I've reset password and trying again and still no luck?

    Check that the email address is correct for your login. You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people see the prompt and just go with a password and not realize that the email address was wrong.
    Aside from that, you can try resetting your password via the iForgot app.
    If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
    NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot.

  • Got error message - //System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.

    Was updating at the App Store - Safari, iTunes, iWorks 09 and prior to that had updated something at Adobe's website.  Then this error message popped up:
    “//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.
    (I  just received a refurbished computer with a new hard drive from a local Apple repair store...
    Is this an easy fix.  Thanks, Charlotte

    What I ended up doing is a reinstall the OS.
    There was an important component I forgot to mention...my hard drive had crashed and I had it replaced.  When it was replaced - the old drive was copied to the new.  Since the prior error messages I had gotten from MemTest and CheckMate kept saying Bad Blocks in the drive - it was suggested that the corrupt or missing data on these "bad blocks" had not copied or copied incorrectly.
    So only time will tell if this fixed this error.  (Don't have external hard drive so never had Time Machine set up to begin with.)  Original computer was refurbished and believe some things weren't done right from the get go.  Oh well...  Hope I didn't lead anyone astray.

  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.
