I just want to update OS on iphone.

I would like to update my OS on my iphone 3gs thru itunes on my windows computer.  When I start the update process, I get a message saying I do not have enough space (11GB needed, 4 GB Ava.) My selected drive in preferences is my D drive which has 40 GB of free space, but the update seems to be pointing to the C drive which does not have enough memory.  I have changed the preferences even though it's correct, and tried other trouble shooting.  My itunes is the latest version. Can someone offer good advice?

If it's in recovery mode (iTunes logo and USB cable on the screen) then there is nothing on the phone to lose. Everything that was on it is already gone.  If you've been backing up on a regular basis and syncing your contacts to a supported cloud service or contact manager, you should simply be able to restore it.

    Inital PS CC install failed, now can't uninstall and retry. CC just wants to update PS and fails repeatedly.

    To resolve it, Run the Cleaner tool to remove Ps CC :http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html . and then try installing Ps again.

  • I have Win7Pro64, tried to Un-Install Firefox control panel, no luck, tried running helper.exe from Uninstall folder and it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What gives?? Just want to update to 3.6.4 and that didn't work either so I'm trying to remove

    Running Win7Pro64. Tried to update to 3.6.4 and it failed. It said to download the whole program so I did. Tried to install and says that the "License File" is missing. SO I go to un-install 3.6.3 myslef with Control Panel. All that did was remove Firefox as a listed program in control panel, all of it is still there in Explorer and it runs fine. So I go to use Helper.Exe under the Uninstall folder of Mozilla Firefox and when I click that, it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What's up with that?? All I want to do is remove 3.6.3 so that I can clean install 3.6.4. I tried installing 3.6.4 two different ways with failures both times. I tried to remove 3.6.3 using two different ways, and that also failed both times.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I tried updating to 3.6.4. It failed both with the update and the full download, so tried to un-install 3.6.3 in control panel, then helper.exe with no luck.

    You don't want to update to 3.6.4, trust me. Stay with 3.6.3. If you need to download it again you can find it here:

  • HT1923 i want to update i tunes iphone

    i want to update i tunes

    how i can do it there is no option for it in sittings such as software updating

  • HT1222 i just did this update for my iPhone and it has wiped out all my apps, etc.  how do i access the backup for my phone so all is not lost?

    I uploaded the 5.1.1 iphone update.  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?

    Restore from a backup.
    apps you can get it back by either syncing with itunes, or on your phone app store - update - purchased - all or not on this phone, select the app you want by clicking on the cloud next to it.

  • HT4623 My husband just did the update for his iPhone 4, his phone is frozen with the iTunes page and a usb cable across the homescreen. He's tried holding down all the buttons all at the same time. can't shut it off. popped out the sim card, won't charge

    We just did the iPhone update ios 6. The screen is frozen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a USB cale across the screen. none of the buttons respond.The phone does not recognize the apple USB when connected. We tried holding all the buttons down at the same time and also removed the SIM card and reinserted.

    If it's not being recognized while it's in recovery mode in your itunes, try this
    plug the phone into the usb attached to the computer
    hold down the home and sleep/wake button on top simultaneously until the phone's screen goes black
    When the screen goes black, release your finger from the sleep/week button on top but continue holding the home button until you see a dialog on the itunes screen on your computer that says 'itunes has detected a device in recovery mode'
    then say 'ok,' select 'restore,' and say 'restore and update'

  • I just want to set up my iphone :(

    This is ridiculously complicated.
    I was given an iphone 5s from a close friend recently.
    He obtained this phone from his mother who just passed away a few months ago.
    We are both not previous apple users and know nearly nothing about any of their products, first off.
    So he gave me the phone which turned on and the previous AT&T service had been canceled to, I took it to an AT&T store to have it activated. No mentions of any locks or restrictions, obviously the phone is not stolen and it hasn't been reported so, they activated it and I chose not to have my previous phones content except my sim card contacts because the employee said it would take over an hour but I could do it myself later.
    So my phone is now activated and my service and phone number is working. Me never owning an iphone before went straight to their help page to learn everything i needed to know.
    First thing it tells me to do is create an apple id and sign in to icloud. But it asks for the previous owners account info to do so.
    My friend and I have tried ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING possible to obtain this info on our own and through suggestions from Apple.
    We have both contacted Apple and done everything they have asked and basically have ended with Apple saying they have "no legal obligation to disable the account" and to "try contacting your mobile carrier"
    So figured it wouldn't hurt to start here and see what I get before I do attempt to call AT&T since I am really tired of talking to rude and unhelpful people and I don't really see it coming to a better conclusion anyway. Please help I would just like to have full access to my phone and I am also concerned about losing what little access I have now.

    See if these help... Forgotten Apple ID... https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid Forgotten Apple ID Password... https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487 If your Apple ID has been locked... https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106 Lastly its possible that if you go to a local Apple Store with the proper documentation, ie. death certificate, etc, they maybe able to help. Its worth a try... Good luck...  

  • I just did a update on my Iphone 5..now when i send a text message,it repeats back under my phone number..how can i stop this?

    my texts are repeating back to me under my number,why?

    There are multiple reasons why the update failed, unless you can provide an error message/code that came up then nodbody will know.
    Now your iPhone is in recovery mode and will now need to be connected to a computer with iTunes and restored to factory settings. This will install the update at the same time.
    If you have a back up of the iPhone before the issue occurred then after the restore to fqactory settings you can restore the back up to the iPhone. If there was no back up then I'm sorry your data is gone.
