I'm trying to update iphone 4s to 5.1 but when plugged into Itunes it says network connection cannot be established and error downloading 5.1

I'm having trouble updating software for my iphone 4s from 5.0.1 to 5.1 but each time i plug into itunes to download it says network connection cannot be established and the phone just says an error has occured.  What can i do?

If you don't have iOS 5, plug your iPhone into your computer, select it in iTunes, and in the Summary, click Check for Update.
If you do have iOS 5, it has onboard updates so you don't have to plug it in, just go to Settings, click General, click Software Update and you will be presented with iOS 5.1 which came out a few hours ago. Both my iPhone 3GS and iPad are already updated to iOS 5.1 now.

  • TS1503 My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that 4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

    My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that >4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • I am trying to update to i-tunes 11.3 but when I download I get a message that itunes didn't install properly, and a reference to error 127. Any ideas?

    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.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

    Tried updating my software. Now the screen is stuck on plug into iTunes icon. I don't have a computer I can use. Is there anyway to get around this and fix phone?

    No chance.
    If the "plug into iTunes"-Logo appears, you have to do so.
    Sorry.

  • HT4623 TRying to update iphone 4@ to ios 7. Get message in itunes "unable to load data class information from Sync services. Reconnect or try again later." That has not worked.

    Corporate issued iphone 4S. Trying to update to ios 7.  I tunes not recongnising the phone, and I get this message:
    "itunes unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect ot try again later."
    I have disconnected from itunes several times. The phone is dead, as if it was brand new.
    I get "slide to setup" and then connect to wifi, which works, but nothing after that, just above message.

  • Trying to update iphone 4 from ios 4 to ios 6! whys it saying its going to take so long?

    so im trying to update from ios4 to the latest software update. the phone used to be my dads but now he gave it to me so i reset the entire phone so there's nothing in it at all. like brand new.  i know you cant do it on the air so im doing it through itunes. i clicked on the option that said download and update so it happens straight away however it says "iphone software update (17hours remaining)" and its been going on for previously at least an hour. this is ridiculous. is it meant to take that long because im updating from ios4 to ios 6 and missed out ios5?

    just like to correct: im on iOS 4.3.1 
    also additional info:
    - secondly i have restarted my phone and restarted itunes many times  & i have the latest version of itunes
    - restarted everything again. i synced my phone for the fun of syncing hoping that might help although i didnt have anything to sync but anyway now its reduced the time & said "8hours remaining" but in the space of 10minutes went up to "11hours remaining" seriously? please help .
    thanks

  • Updated to 7.0.6 on my iPhone 5s and now my phone is all out of whack. It won't sync the new playlists I added after the update though when it's plugged into iTunes it says it's synced. Help please!

    So I updated my iPhone 5s to version 7.0.6 yesterday, and now my iPhone music isn't working properly. It won't sync the playlists that I added after the update though when it's plugged in on iTunes it says that the music is synced. When I select a song in a playlist on the phone it shuffles through the playlists for like 3 seconds and picks a totally different song to play. I tried reinstalling iTunes, I tried restoring the iPhone, is it just a bug with the update? Nothing works. Any solutions are welcome.

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

  • HT201210 My ipad2 is still working off of IOS 4.0 and I am trying to update it to 6.1.5 but I keep getting a message saying Error having to do with something Internal issue or damage?

    I am signed into ITUNES and have updated and made sure all of my apps are transferred. Could it be that it is too late to update? Or is it that there is something wrong with either my Ipad 2 or MacBook Pro (2012/Oct)?
    Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If Yes I could use help either way.
    Thanks so much...

    Is there some other device in your i-device inventory using a more current iOS than your iPad's iOS 4.0?
    This article may help:
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    Your original post said " ... made sure all my apps are transferred. ..."  What does that mean exactly?  The normal process would be to sync your iPad using iTunes 11.0.2, then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary screen on iTunes.  It sounds like you tried something else.

  • My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
    I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
    The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
    I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
    Thanks

    Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
    Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This may take up to 10 seconds.  This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
    See if it will charge after this.

  • IPhone 4 won't turn on when plugged into computer nor charger

    My refurbished iPhone 4 has the latest iOS 5.1.1 update and my mom's computer has iTunes version 10.6.3.25. However, recently it has been having issues holding a charge and now as of yesterday it won't turn on period. When it does it's only for a split few seconds and then it turns off again.
    When it's connected to a wall charger it immediately turns on
    and then lock screen apprears with the message "activation required". *Note it says it has at least 75% battery*
    Upon entering my lock code my home page is only a page that says to "connect to iTunes".
    When I attempt to take the phone off the charger, it dies
    and is completely unresponsive as I connect it to a computer.
    The computer doesn't recognize it and the screen remains black.
    If I leave the phone alone on the charger it will continously go through a process of shutting itself off and turning back on. The time always restarts at around 7p or so and the date is Wednesday, December 31st. Also as it's plugged in, I manage to turn the phone off and on and reset it but the phone just keeps displaying the "activation required" screen. Can this be fixed at a Genius bar or should I have it replaced?

    Sounds like a damaged device, take it to Apple for evaluation.
    If it's under warranty, they will replace it.
    If it's not under warranty, an Out of Warranty replacement is $149US.

    Catch 22
    I need Safari to get to that first page so I can do that!
    I am already logged on via the laptop, and can add the iPhone if Safari could only get to the first page!!
    The lobby wifi is open, and doesn't need the sign in page, but I can't get to the Internet even though it seems to have connected to the hotel's wifi.
