I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed..I need some support pls!!

The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."
I've restarted the update process for the 20 th time!!! and reset my iphone twice to factory settings, but still nothing change, same error occures...
My iPhone specs
Version : 7.0.6 (11B651)
Model : MD235AE/A

Did it work for you with iTunes?
I have the same problem with my iPad mini. I have done almost all updates of my iOS devices OTA.
I never update issues before.
Also iPad 2 and iPhone 5 just worked fine.
Only now my iPad mini struggles with the update. Did a factory reset too.
And now have iOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on an iPad Model MD543FD/A.
World prefer OTA instead of iTunes.
Thank you for any help.

Try updating by using iTunes via a computer.

HT5313 I have been trying for weeks to download update 10.7.5 and cannot do so. I do get a message at the end - "connection reset by peer". Can anyone shed any light on why I cannot download this update and what the message may mean? Thanks.

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,

HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good. Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension. Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express. But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet. Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it. I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty. I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

I finally got it working. I was trying to set it up ethernet. My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode. So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'. Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it. So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
So here's the weird part. When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options. One would be 'ethernet' extended. So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem. This is when I got frustrated. I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options. One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was). And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful. I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from. It will work if only 3 options come up. And success if only verified by the big checkmark. Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it. Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with. It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
Thanks for the response. I really do appreciate it.
Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
- configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
Using Airport 5.6.1
1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
2) Following restart, Select Continue
3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
- if 4 options are present, may not work
4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger. The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
Thanks again.

My iPhone 4s has been very tempremental with making calls and sending SMS. It seems to work better if my 3G is on all the time. Anyone else experiencing this?

My iPhone 4s is very tempremental. One day it's fine, the next I find it hasn't recieved calls or texts that have been sent to me and it won't make calls or send texts either! I've found that if 3G is turned on it seems to help but do I really need to have 3G on all the time?

How are you turning off 3G? If you are putting it in Airplane mode this is why you haven't received any calls or texts, they both run on voice data which you turned off.

Everytime I try to update a adobe falsher player plug-in, it fails all the time..

it will not let me update my adobe flash player plug-in. I turned off all my firewalls and still wont load!!

I'm sorry. I wish that I could help you with this. But if you are getting a message that the card is now being declined, there must be some reason for it.
Are you sure that the card hasn't expired? Have you contacted the credit card company or bank to see if there is some problem with your account?
I would start with the credit card company and make sure that there is no problem with the card. If you are certain that the card is still good, you will have to contact iTunes support in order to get it sorted out.
Email them from here.

I bought an iPod touch 4G on eBay, it worked ok for about 24 hrs, then started to constantly go to black screen and I had to reset it all the time. I googled and it seemed like restoring it through iTunes would possibley help.

Well, the restore won't work and I've tried all the trouble shooting steps (turn off 3rd party sercurity, tried 3 cords, all the usb ports on 2 different computers, iTunes and windows (vista) are completly up to date). The iPod is now stuck in recovery mode. iTunes does recognize it, but won't restore. I've contacted the person I bought it from and he seems willing to take it back - but I don't know if in recovery mode - if all my info is off the iPod? So my question is two fold, if I return it is my personal info safe or does anyone have any further ideas about how to restore it? I keep reading about Tiny Umbrella, but that seems to me that that would be jailbreaking it (the seller said it was not jailbroken) and I don't want to do that in case I need to return it to the seller.
Thanks!

What happens when you try to restore the iPod? Error message?
If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode your data should be safe.

My ipod says disconnect all; the time now i have updated and restored it

I just opened itunes & connected my ipod. I restored my ipod because i deleted the songs from my ipod and updated it but they didnt come of so i used iupod updater and now it just say "do not disconnect" but it is not showing "do not disconnect" in itunes, but it is on my ipod.This is my second ipod and the same happened last time. can someone please help?. Thanks

If you automatically update your ipod, here's what to do, connect your ipod and WAIT untill itunes knows it's there, then go to edit, preferences, then go to ipod, then if you auto update it, make sure that the box that says "enable disk use" is unchecked. Then click ok. If you manually update, slect auto-update without the "enable disk use" selected.

I need some help I updated my ipad last night to the new ios....but it deleted all the applications on it? Any way that I can restore the ipad to what it was before I updated it? Or is there a way to get them all back?

Can anyone help?

That's part of the process - the upgrade removes all the apps and then (as part of the syncing) restores them all - however, it's not clear that it's doing that. Connect your iPad to iTunes again and sync it - the apps should come back. If not, then the upgrade created a back-up of your device before installing - you can restore your iPad to that back-up when connected to iTunes.

Apps locked / frozen and on going to setting and rest it asks for pass code. Use standard one that I use all the time and it states 1 failed attempt. I have not forgotten pass ode as I use it 20 times a day. Over 70 years of age so make the response simpl

The 3 apps required updating but they have frozen. Did not realise this until Candy Crush froze. Went to reset and it asked for pass code. I entered standard code and it stated one failed attempt. I may be over 70 years of age but have not forgotten pass code!! I hope that the solution is simple!!

If your iPad was used by another person in the past, it may be asking for their passcode.
If your iPad has been synced with a computer before, restoring with your computer should fix it now.
