IOS 4.3 Update Hanging at roughly 30% on iPhone 4 GSM

So I have the iPhone 4 GSM and just downloaded the 4.3 update, but when I started the install it hung at 30% and just sat there. I let it sit for ages and it didn't ever update so I pulled the plug. Now trying to do a restore, it's still trying to install 4.3 and hanging at 30% (apple logo and 30% progress bar on the iPhone screen, had it sitting for about 40 minutes with no change now).
Any ideas?
Should I download a fresh copy of the OS, and if so how?

Are you running any firewalls, anti-virus or user-interface modification tools?
If you disable all any and all you may be successful!
Good luck!

  • Ios 7.1 update two weeks ago ruined my iphone 5.  The ringer will reset to vibrate all by its self. A soft reset resolves the issue for only 5 min then back to vibrate. System restore and restore to factory settings has the same effect.

    I have had no problems with my iphone 5 until the very next day after I updated to ios 7.1. My phone is 26 days out of warranty, sorry says Apple, we have one for $269 though. Clearly this is an issue with the update that has broken my perfectly good phone and now I am stuck with this thing of a phone....

  • Ios 8.1 update changes the server of your iphone

    Hi there,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issues persist after resetting the device, you may need to back up and set up as new as a final troubleshooting step.

  • IOS 5.0 Update Date keeps moving out on iPhone 3G

    I have an iPhone 3G and when I go to try and Sync it up and attempt to get the new iOS 5.0 Operating System Software, the Update Date keeps moving out. When I first tried a couple of weeks ago, it said an Update would be available 10/20. 10/20 came and went and then it said 10/22. 10/22 came and went and then it said 10/30. 10/30 has come and gone and now it says 11/02.
    Why oh why is the Update Date keep moving out? The rest of my family has updated just fine and I am excited for the new notifications that I have seen on their iPhones.
    Can anyoine help me out here???
    Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the iPhone 3G does not support iOS 5.  The iPhone 3GS is the oldest model that supports the iOS 5 operating system.  The date keeps moving because you make it check for an update which there are none and the system keeps telling you it will check again in a few days.  This is the normal operation of iTunes in terms of trying to keep your products up to date.
    I hope this helps.

  • I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update

    Dears at Apple:
    I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update on any of my devices(iPhone 4s, iPhone Touch (4th Gen), iPad (3rd Gen). Most of the "Podcasts" I listen to are music content based and wanted to apply sound enhancements(EQ) like before when integrated with ipod function. Can you consider to "fix" this issue?
    Many Thanks!

    OK Emanuel I found a solution! I dowloaded and installed "Denon Audio" app from the iTunes store & it works great! It has an EQ you can set curves on manually or use the (few) built in pre-sets. It is a player like the Music app that comes with the iPhone, etc. but restores the EQ functionality so we can adjust the audio of PODCASTS:-) Until Apple fixes this what I consider a bug I will be using the Denon app as my default music player!

  • IOS 4.3 update for at&t only?

    i'm hearing from the big apple event today that the iOS 4.3 update is only going to be for the gsm iphone (at&t). so what does this mean for cdma iphone? different OS updates at different times? maybe launching new iphones on different schedules? anyone know anything about this?

    I still say the next version for Verizon will not happen until next year. Just because there is a delay on Verizon update doesn't mean a new phone is coming out anytime soon. One could say why not delay 4.3 and call it 5.0 and release it when the next iPhone comes out. That's basically what you are implying when it comes to Verizon. Also Apple isn't dumb enough to BUILD and distribute for 3 months just to scrap most of them in place of a new device in June. They would have NEVER released the 4 if the 5 was just a few months away. That would be wasted resources.
    I agree...it won't likely come out for VZ this year. IF one comes out it will likely be for AT&T...or the version rumored to be a "cheaper" version maybe. Either way...all I notice with iOS updates is that it usually signals something new on the horizon...it very well could just be the iPad 2 that has sparked it. Or, Apple could shock everyone that assumes they will follow the usual pattern...and not release anything else this year except maybe updated iPod lines in the Fall. We will all see when ever Apple let's us. The rest is just stressing over rumors.

  • Bookmarks not syncing on iPad after iOS 4.3 update

    I have the following problem since the iOS 4.3 update on 2 iPads and 1 iPhone 3GS. (no problem on iPhones 4)
    If I attach device to iTunes and start syncing, everything seems synced except the bookmarks. I get either messages:
    'iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPad "name" because an error occured while merging data.'
    'iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPad "name" because the bookmarks are in use bu the iPhone.'
    If I do a second sync - without stopping iTunes - the bookmarks are synced.
    Any idea how to solve this ?

    I have the same problem, but it was after buying a new Mac and setting up syncs.  The bookmarks from the iPad disappeared and were not syncing through MobileMe, although it is working on my iPhone 4, so I turned of the MM sync and tried iTunes.  After trying just about everything suggested in this thread (hard boot, clearing caches etc, shutting off all multi-tasking, getting rid of the Mozilla app, and so on) when I sync with iTunes I still get the message: "iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPad xxxx because the bookmarks are in use by the iPad."
    How does one shut down whatever is using the bookmarks?

  • IPad fails to complete IOS 4.3 update

    My iPad failed to complete the IOS 4.3 update. The message in iTunes said the iPad needs to be restored, but the restore fails to complete. I tried a different cable and USB port on my iMac. I charged my iPad for a few hours and tried it again. My iTunes is version 10.2.1. This is a iPad 1 (Wifi version).
    iTunes runs through the restore process until it says "restoring iPad software" and almost completes the install. The restore completes until about 90% or so of the way and just hangs up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem and called Apple. Here's what we did: I held down both the Home button and the Sleep button at the same time until the iPad rebooted. Then the iPad screen changed to the iTunes icon and a USB cord. When I opened iTunes, I could now see the iPad (previously it hadn't shown up) and got an error message. The Apple tech said I would need to restore the factory settings. I did and it took a while since my iPad is loaded with aps and music, but it all came back since it was backed up on my Mac.
    Good luck! They are hearing from a lot of people with this (but I'm the only one I know with an iPad who had the issue) and didn't charge me--I don't have the extended care plan.

  • HT1414 How do I download iOS 5 Software update?

    Please how do I download iOS 5 Software update if I'm not ready to update via iTunes?

    I have a job, so I don't hang your every word as soon as you post a reply to a thread in which I've participated. Now I've read your other post correcting the fact that I put 6.0.2 as the latest version of iPhone software I won't refer to the version specifically any more.
    So, is iOS 5 available for download?
    I find you very aggresive in your approach and if it continues, I will more than likely only ask questions on here rather than trying to assist others.
    I have better things to do and I'm just trying to help.

  • TS1702 App Update Hangs, Never Completes

    I've had a couple of instances where an update to an app on my iPad 2 is available, and I've selected to update that app. Then, during the process of updating, the update hangs, perpetually in either "loading" or "installing". When this occurs, the app cannot be used, updated, or deleted. Syncing doesn't seem to fix this, nor does removing the app in iTunes and then syncing, and turning the iPad off and then back on doesn't do anything either. Suggestions? Thanks!

    No joy, unfortunately. I attempted this mulitple times, both prior to and after syncing, and with the app removed via iTunes and then syncing. It still shows up on the iPad (and in iTunes as dimmed, with a progress bar (still iOS 6)), and says "installing" in the App Store; and when pressed and held so that it wiggles, there is no "X" that allows it to be deleted. So am running out of ideas. Any ideas at all are appreciated and will be tried! Thanks.

  • Car Stereo No Longer Recognizes iPhone after iOS 7.1 Update

    I connect my iPhone to my car stereo with via USB (the stereo doesn't have bluetooth) and now after the iOS 7.1 update, it no longers works in my car. My stereo displays an error message of 'iPod err' when I connect it. I've used this same car stereo and USB cable to connect my iPhone for years without any issues, until the 7.1 update a couple days ago.
    Anyone else having this issue? This is real frustrating.

    In another thread on this issue, Brendan writes:
    Turns out restarting my car and/or rebooting my iphone "fixed" the issue. Apparently this was unrelated to the iOS 7.2 upgrade. Honda + iPhone has been rock solid (even if the Honda Fit UI is terrible), so I'm not sure what to make of this problem. Maybe a glitch? Who knows.
    Here is the URL for that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25211736?ac_cid=tw123456#25211736
    His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
    Good luck!

    That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off
