Impossible to update to most recent iOS ( 4.3.5 )

it is Ipad 1 -
I get all the time Cannot sync Ipad "because it was disconnnected"  message .
It simply drives me mad ....
I have been trying all kind ( of original of course ) cables and different USB ports - but no way .
It is not a USB issue ....
Everything takes of course hours . ( sync process is slow and ends with -  error message )
I'm on 10.6.8  Mac Pro - 
I'm not sure if total reset means  a lot  of my expensive purchases ( that ads up since last happy  backup )
will be lost .
Apples support is not much helpfull
( How many restarts can you do )
Thank you for any suggestions .

When I tried to update to iOS 4.3.5 I got some errors. Tried Restore & it didn't work. Saw on another form to reinstall iTunes. Reinstalled iTunes & the problem went away.
 Cheers, Tom

  • In updating to most recent ios, iPad says its gone into recovery mode - any ideas?

    When updating to the most recent iOS, my iPad says its gone into recovery mode and the only option i have is to restore to factory settings - any ideas?

    The message means what it says. Unfortunately something went wrong and you will have to restore your iPad now. If you have a backup, you can restore from the backup after you restore the iPad to factory settings. If you have no backup, you have to start all over again.
    You can download much of your purchased content again in the purchased tabs of iTunes or the app stores or if you sync with iTunes ( if you sync with iTunes you should have some sort of backup) you can sync your content back to the iPad.

  • My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!

    My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning.  Now my phone is completely dead in the morning.  I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.

    One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
    Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
    To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
    Close as many as possible if you don't need them.

  • My iPad, purchased in Nov. 2012 won't start after the most recent IOS update, and it's fully charged. Any suggestions?

    My iPad purchased in 11/2012 won't start since updating to the most recent IOS version in 3/2015.
    It's fully charged but pressing the HOME button or SLEEP/WAKE button, individually or together doesn't have any effect.
    Suggestions?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • I have updated my ipod to the most recent ios and i dont! want or need the icloud, so in the options are 1) storage and backup 2) delete account. if i choose delete account is that just cancelling my icloud or my entire itunes account?

    So i have updated to the most recent ios and dont need icloud, when i go to the settings, i have the choices storage and backup or delete account. if i choose delete account will i delete the itunes account i use for music?

    No, you will only delete the iCloud account from your phone, nothing else.  If you are syncing any data with iCloud, be sure to choose Keep on My iPod when prompted.  Otherwise, the data will be deleted from your iPod.

  • Following the most recent IOS IPhone update our Iphone calendars, contacts and messages have all merged. This problem has never happened before. We all use the same Itunes account as a family and one AppleID. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

    We have 4 Iphones. As a family we have happily shared the same ITunes account and one AppleID. After the most recent iPhone IOS update all our contacts and calendars have merged and we randomly receive some messages that one of us has sent to another contact.
    This is causing chaos.
    Can anyone help me with:
    1. Has anyone experienced a similar problem recently?
    2. The records to the individual phones have not been saved been saved separately. After this merging of all the data into one composite record, is there anyway to reverse the change and restore the phones to just their individual records?
    3. I guess that the cause may be the common AppleID. I have tried to create my own AppleID but my personal email address is already linked to the existing AppleID so I am blocked from setting up a separate AppleID in my own name. Does anyone know how I can get around this block?
    4. Would it be better to create a separate Apple ICloud address for each of us as well? How do I do this?
    Many thanks in anticipation,
    Peter

    This is exactly what happens when sharing a single Apple ID for iCloud and iMessage.  Why would you expect any different?

  • Why can't ipod touch 1st gen get the most recent ios update?

    Because the 1G iPod does not have the hardware necessary to support higher than iOS 3.1.3

  • Most recent iOS version available for 2nd gen iTouch

    What is the most recent version of iOS that can be put on a 2nd generation iPod Touch?  It seems like everything in the app store needs a much newer version of the iOS, and I'm not sure if I can put it on my iPod.  (And I'm sure not going to go out and buy a whole new iPod just to download a video game). It's at version 4.2 right now, and I just updated it.  Also, if the operating system can be updated any further, does anyone have any clue how to do it?  According to iTunes, 4.2 is the latest version, so it won't let me update any further.

    iOS 4.2.1 is the highest version that is compatible with your 2G iPod Touch. It can't be updated any further.

    How can I get my new iPad updated with my most recent iCloud backup?

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • My mac is telling me i have no software updates available, but i do! i don't have the most recent ios software and i cannot update itunes or sync my recently updated iphone without it. help!

    i am currently on the osx 5.8 operating system. I just downloaded the new iphone 5 software and cannot sync it with my itunes on this computer because it doesn't have the most current version of itunes which i discovered i cannot download without an iosx oeprating system. I have run software update 10 times, started and restarted the computer and the program. help! what do i need to do to switch over to the ios-x operating system....or whatever the most current version is called. if i have to pay for it, that's fine. i have just been routed and rerouted through the apple store trying to figure it out. can someone help me please!

    Hello,
    There are two different things here, an OS update and a software update.
    Mac OS X 10.5 is the version of OS while the .8 at the end is the software update (release patches)
    The most current software update for Mac OS X 10.5 is 10.5.8
    No more software updates available. You would need to upgrade the OS, which would be to Mac OS X 10.6
    Your new iPhone 5 would require iTunes 10.6 which is only available for OS X version 10.6.8 or later.
    Your would therefore need to upgrade your Macbook to this version of OS.
    It maybe brought on DVD via Apple directly (Contact Apple ) or using any good online vendor like Amazon.
    Best of luck
