IOS 5.1.1 will not install on my Iphone 4S. It fails to verify download

IOS 5.1.1 will not install on my Iphone 4S. It fails to verfiy the download and fails to install.

After many attempts to download through iTunes, I tried the direct method via Wi-Fi and it worked!  First, reset the iPhone (hold the power and Home buttoms until the screen goes black, then keep holding until the Apple logo appears).  Second, dismiss all other applications  (hit Home twice, then press and hold any icon at the bottom of the screen until they blink and display red "-" signs; then hold each "-" sign until the app icon vanishes).  Then go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. It took me about 5-6 minutes via Wi-Fi.
For what it's worth, I'm using an iPhone 3GS and had 5.1 installed prior to the 5.1.1 update.  My iTunes is on a Mac G4 running OS 10.5.8.  I don't know why the iTunes method didn't work, but even if it had worked, it would have taken half an hour or more to download the file.

  • Firefox home will not install on my iPhone

    Firefox Home shows up as "purchased" in my apps listings for/on my iPhone 3G but will not install on my phone either through iTunes syncing or through my iPhone apps application. What is wrong? All other apps install, deinstalled, and reinstall fine. The app used to work fine, but one day I noticed it was missing from my phone and now it won't reload.

    Strange - You can't even install it directly on the phone from the App Store. Have a look [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 this Apple troubleshooting article]. Beyond that, Apple would probably be better equipped to help you.
    Let us know if you have any new information.

  • IOS 7.1.2 apps will not install on the iPhone - error message "not compatible with this iPhone"???

    I am using a 4s with ios 7.1.2 and recently any app I am trying to use or load will not work and I get error message the app is not compatible with my iPhone; however, the requirements in every case indicate they are compatible with 4s and ios 6 and greater. Honestly, seems like I have one problem after the other with the iPhone

    Thanks, unfortunately that is another problem that is occurring, when I go to Update Software I get the message that software is up to date, with version being 7.1.2, I have tried to update through itunes, wifi, etc, and it indicates the software is up to date.

  • Apple pages will not install on my iPhone 5, what do I do?

    I downloaded apple pages because I really did enjoy keynote greatly, however it got delete by mistake. Now when I go to re-download it I continuously get the message "you've already purchased this, so it will download now at no additional charge"...but not install... I don't know how to fix this. It's never happened to me before.

    No it issn't an iphone issue.
    The issue is with yahoo and their server.
    You can do a search in the forum "yahoo mail"  and see how many threads there are about not being able to connect to Yahoo server and the answer is the same it's Yahoo problem not Apple or iphone.

  • IOS 6 Maps application did not install on my IPhone 4

    When I updated my IPhone to IOS 6, I must not have had enough space for Maps to be installed, because it didn't install. I now have freed 2.7 GB, but I don't know how to get the app installed without having to restore the phone. I have the settings category for maps, but not the app. Anyone have a suggestion?

    For anyone who has a similar odd problem, I found a solution.
    First, I reset my home screen (under Settings--General--Reset). The reset brought back Maps, but disarranged my home screen and other app screens.
    Next, I restored to a backup that had the Maps application in it, which kept Maps and restored my app organization (because all the apps were on my phone already, but just were not showing up in the right place).
    Finally, I noted some rollbacks in my calendar (and possibly other application data), but the missing data was quickly restored automatically by syncing with ICloud.
    So all is well now. I'll now have a clean and complete backup to restore from when I get my IPhone 5 next week.

    Never accept or download a software up date that is not from an authorized Apple site. You don't know if any one tampered with the software if you d/l from another source such as a dropbox account.

  • TS1702 The app "Dictionary+" was not installed on the iPhone "iPhone John" because an Unknown error occurred (0xE800002D). I will not download the updates to the laptop to have apps that work stored there. How do I reinstall iOS 5.1.1??

    I do not update apps through my laptop I store the apps that actually have been tested and work on the laptop and test updated apps on the iPhone. After updating the iPhone to iOS 6.0.1 iTunes will not install the apps from iTunes on my laptop to my iPhone without updating the apps online. This is not going to happen from my end and I do not like having control of what MY Laptop and MY iPhone can do seperately forced to be as one. That should be an option of choice not a demand of service.
    If anyone has an option like how to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 back onto my 3GS I would love to hear it.
    Thanks for any constructive solutions or directions other than here to turn.
    I've spent over thirty thousand dollars since 1992 on Macintosh products and I'm on the verge of becoming a Windows OS user based upon this latest Apple tactics of fair use.
    iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1
    MacBook 10.5.8 - eMac 10.2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.8), MBk 2.4 Intel CorDuo 4GB Mem - eMac 800 Mhz IBM 2GB Mem
    One other thing I'm not updating the OS on the laptop; I like the freedom to do as I please with my computer.

    Macintosh has never allowed the user to update and or utilize any app or feature if the Operating System was inadequate to do so. Your answer "iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 to run iTunes 10.7" is ineffective at this point and mute. The update should not have been aloud over Wifi or 3G Network to iPhone without the ability to authenticate resources required or needed to operate both iPhnoe iOS and Desktop OS together.
    The issue, as has already been explained is that the version of iTunes on the computer will not work with iOS6.
    iOS updates via Wi-Fi have nothing to do with iTunes on the computer and does not care what version is on the computer.  Personally, I find it completely moronic to update via Wi-Fi as there is really no option for backup or a restore from backup if the update fails.  To me, it seems like a great way for the user to create issues for themselves that do not need to exist.
    As there is no officially supported method to downgrade the iOS, the only option left if syncing is desired is to upgrade iTunes on the computer.
    I really do not understand why you seem so defensive about updating iTunes.  Update iTunes on the computer, then sync the device, if that's what you want.
    If that's not what you want, other options include updating apps directly on the device via Wi-Fi or 3G or living with it as is.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download, install, and reactive their devices it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
