IOS 5 manual update help on verizon iphone 4 !PLEASE HELP!

Can anyone please help me update my iphone 4 manually? I am not sure how to do it with the ispw file and if it is even safe to do. I cant update using itunes since i dont have my laptop for another month. I have my moms which is a authorized computer and My iphone is backed up on it. Can i just use hers?

I may not get my laptop back and just have to get a new one. What do i do then? I was hoping that as long as i have everything backed up on a computer than i  i ask why it has to be minecould still update and restore it. Do you have any other suggestions? I want to start using IOS 5 sooo bad.

  • IPad mini retina constantly reboots after iOS 8.1 update - help!

    Hello,
    I've downloaded on iPad mini Retina 16 GB iOS 8.1 update and installed it directly from the device (so no iTunes involvement). After it got installed with black apple on white screen (process seemed to be finished) - it started rebooting, but instead of starting up it shows shortly (for just a second) blue screen, after goes black and then reboots again - and all this in constant flux: white screen with black apple - blue flash - black screen - white screen with apple. Connecting to iTunes doesn't make anything - it doesn't recognise the device while in state of reboot.
    What can I do?
    Help!

    Hey there,
    Got exactly the same problem here. Can't even reset/ shut off the device, so it keeps on flashing with the blue screen.

  • Manual update- help!

    so, if i have my ipod on the option to be manually updated, does that mean i still have to have all my songs on the computer, or can i delete some things off my computer to free up some memory and still keep them on my ipod?

    If you are using your iPod in manual mode you can delete them if you wish. One major word of caution though. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Updating to iOS 5.1 actually made my verizon iPhone battery worse!?

    I kept everything the same ( auto brightness, close apps, location services, etc) My battery use to be amazing! After heavy use all day I would still have like 50% left! Now since updating the software to iOS 5.1 within 6 hours I was at like 40%! I am doing the same things as before. I have a iphone 4 on verizon. Please help!

    Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
    Just update your date/time settings:
    Settings
    > General
    >> Date & Time
    >>> Set Automatically:  Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
    I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked.

  • Iphone wont turn on after ios 7.1 update, help please

    Guys, please help me with this problem. After updating it to iOS 7.1 its no longer turning on

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions.   If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage.   If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check    if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See   "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears,   continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • IOS 5.01 update draining battery on iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 and ran the update to iOS 5 on Saturday. I regret doing this now. Before the update I had great battery life. But since Saturday my battery needs to be charged multiple times in a day through normal use. In 1.5 hours of unplugging my iPhone from the charger, my battery drained to 88%. In the last 10 minutes it took to log in & post a couple comments, my battery has now drained to 83%! In 10 minutes!! That is an embarrassment guys. Please fix this ASAP!

    I had both the synching "waiting to copy problem" and ios 5.01 battery problem. Eg: phone was at 100% at 11pm by morning it was stone dead.  Both issues are resoluved now.
    1:  "Wainting to sync" issues was resolved by upgrading iTunes to 5.01 (windows 7 64 bit)
    2: Battery problem was resolved by backing up my phone and finally seeing it complete fully.  Then resetting the phone to factory and restoring the phone from backup
    In the middle of the restore I had a time out error, I unplugged the phone, restarted itunes, started the restore again and now everything seems fine.
    The phone has been at 100% for over an hour now.
    I hope this helps.

  • First Generation iPad No Longer Recognised after iTunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 updates, help me!

    I recently updated the version of iTunes on my early '06 iMac (17" 1.86GHz Intel Core Duo, 32-bit, 1.5GB RAM, OS X 10.6.8), to version 10.6 and the version of iOS on my first model iPad to 5.1. Since the update, it no longer shows up in iTunes despite it working perfectly fine.
    There is nothing wrong with the hardware or the connecting cables, I am unable to diagnose any possible cause of the issue as no error messages are presented on either the iPad or in iTunes. I cannot use my iPad without connectivity with my desktop computer.
    Is this problem a bug in iTunes 10.6 or iOS 5.1?
    Frankly I am appalled, it seems as though Apple didn't fully test either update before release.
    And I am not going to use Wi-Fi sync as a workaround. I need the security provided by a direct cable connection to the machine my iPad is synced with.

    Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
    Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
    Duh.
    I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did.

  • Can't send MMS after iOS 4.3 update on 2 different iphone 4s

    Me and my sister both own a iphone 4, we updated to 4.3 via itunes. Now we both cant send any MMS, the bar will go half way then get a ! mark saying it didnt send.
    -1 phone is on rogers, 1 is on telus so they are on completely different carriers!
    - we both did restores, reset network settings, everything.
    In fact I just did another complete restore, didn't use any backup and sent a mms, nothing!
    Anyone else having problems? Thank you for your inputs.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one, at least now we can wait for a fix from apple about this, seems like there's always something wrong with each new update.
