I have been unable to update my Iphone 4S software to V5.1 - same message - operation timed out - connection interruption.  From various PC's and Laptops!

I have been struggeling for days to update my Iphone software to V5.1.  On my desktop PC with uninterrupted ADSL I received a message "error in connection" and operation tmed out"  I have used my laptop (with no previous Itunes programs) installed Itunes and connected my Iphone 4S.  I constantly receive the same message?

if you have ios 5.0 on your device you can update it directly from the iphone.
go to settings / softwareupdate.
do a backup on your iphone first.

  • I have an iPad 4.3.  I have been unable to update to I os 5 or 6.  Any suggestions or instructions out there to help?

    I have an iPad 4.3 and have not been able to upgrade to I os 5 or 6 operating system.  Does anyone have instructions?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • I have been unable to update iTunes on my Windows PC.

    I have been unable to update iTunes on my Windows PC. An error message keeps coming up saying a .dll is missing. My daughter has experienced the same issue with her PC. No problems with my iMac or iOS devices. I thought I may have some corrupted files, so I deleted iTunes and attempted to download it. The same error message came up, and now I don't have iTunes on my PC.  Has anyone experienced a problem with an update of iTunes on a Windows based PC?

  • I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1.  I keep getting the timing out message.  Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download?  Can I get the update some other way?

    The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
    Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
    If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

    After updating to  Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

    Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

  • HT4623 Have been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the past few month now but is not allowing me.

    Have been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the past few month but is not allowing me. The update icon is not showing on the screen. Help is need pls.

    To update it all you need to do is connect the phone to iTunes and you can then update it.
    If you are using anything less than iOS 5, then you can't update directly on your phone as this is not available and iOS 5 is the first OS where this option was available.

  • Hello.  Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot.  I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

    Hello.  Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot.  I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193).  I have uninstalled/reinstalled I Tunes several times and this has not resolved the issue.  I also uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft.net Framework 4 since this was suggested by Apple support.  This also has not resolved the issue.
    When I reinstall I Tunes, I get a message that the “Service ‘apple mobile device’ failed to start.”  Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services.  I attempted to manually start the Apple Mobile Device service but get a pop up stating, “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”Unsure what I should try next. 

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
    In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

  • TS4062 windows xp platform.  since updating to itunes 10.7.0.21 I have been unable to sync my iphone 3g via the usb cable.  it shows up in my computer, but not in itunes

    I have run itunes diagnostics and when it gets to connectivity test - ports, it says no iphone found.  I followed the troubleshooting steps there, but have been unable to resolve this problem. I have also tried:
    1.  Stopping and restarting the apple mobile device program.
    2.  Deleting temporary files.
    3.  Checking the registery files.
    4.  Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 2 times.
    5.  Used msconfig to disable start up items that could be interfering.
    I'm tired of waiting for itunes 11, hoping that it might resolve my problem.
    Is there a place where i can download the previous version of itunes 10.6 to see if this may help?
    Thanks for any other ideas.

    I tried:
    01. Rebooting PC
    02. Rebooting iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2, iPad 3
    03. Stoppng and restarting Apple Mobile Support service
    04. Deleting backup in iTunes
    05. Buying music and transferring purchases
    06. Transferring photos
    07. Buying app and transferring purchases
    08. Deleteing and reinstalling iTunes
    09. Backup to the iCloud (failed as well)
    10. WIFI sync
    11. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and reinstall from backup
    12. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and install as new device
    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED !!!  I still cannot backup because iTunes cannot start a session.
    My devices are completely vulnerable to loss.
    I have spent hours searching the Internet trying to find a solution.
    I have concluded that the iTunes software or its driver are at fault.

  • I have been unable to update Firefox 12 using a dialup connection. I have tried repeatedly.

    I am using a dial up connection. I have tried several times to update to FF 12. most connections are 24 at best usually at night. The last download showed Firefox scanning for viruses. I have been unable to locate the downloads anywhere. Very often the download just disappears before finishing. I have tried 4 times.This connection is at a weekend home where the computer is used infrequently. Down loads are difficult at all times due to the very slow connection.

    Before upgrading to FF 12, you might look at all the other horror stories on here associated with the upgrading to 12 and all the people still trying to get it to work. That's doesn't mean it won't work on your computer but there could be a high probability, especially if you have a lot of processes running and plugins installed.
    See other problems on this forum and then decide. People have been returning back to older versions (11) or going to Beta 13. Due to the size of the initial download (exe file), you can put it on a flash drive from a friend's computer and then run it on yours. FF 9.0.1 is 14 Meg alone. not sure about other versions.
    Just FYI, - look before you leap.

  • For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care via their web cam.  This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center since.  I get an error message for java webcam class not found.  All of my software is up to date--suggestions?

    For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care center via their web cam.  This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center.  I get an error message for Java plug-in 1.6.0_29 ....webcam class not found.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
    BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.

  • Try to update my iPhone 4 but after download it says error session timed out any ideas how to fix it

    When I try to update my iPhone I get error message session timed out can anyone help

    I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
    After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
    Try this and let me know how it works!
