Ios 7 update failure?

Tried updating y iPhone 4s to iOS 7; however it is stuck @ "connecting to iTunes" from the last 3 days. My iTunes is no longer recognizing my iPhones inspite of several uninstalling & reinstallinng iTunes.
SOS!!!

Thanks for your inputs guys. I resolved the issue as follows -
My office comp (Win 7) still had the old iTunes (not the 11.1). I just connected the iPhone 4s to it & it immediately recognized. That way I could restore my iPhone 4s without any loss of data. However, I'd taken the backup of my latest iPhone 4s from my home computer which was failing to recognize my "hung" iPhone 4s.
And, I restored my iPhone 4s to 6.1.3 without any loss of data!!!
Hope the above helps others.
Cheers

  • IOS 5 update failure on 3 Devices

    For the past year or more, I haven't been able to install updates from iTunes to my iPad, and IPod Touch 3G and 4G.  I keep getting the network connection time-out issue.  However, I've been able to successfully update all 3 devices by directly downloading the updates to my computer, and installing from there.
    That worked fine, until now.  When iOS5 came out, I directly downloaded the update files like before, and tried to update manually.  The updates all failed with the same error message - "The iPod/Pad could not be updated.  An unknown error occured (3002)."  I'm aware of the server overload issue in the immediate wake of the iOS5 release, and took the advice to wait awhile to retry the update process.  But it's now almost a week later, and after literally dozens of attempts to install this latest iOS release, they keep failing with the same error message.  For what it's worth, I have the latest iTunes release (installed and re-installed), and have IOS 4.3.5 on the iPad and iPods.  iTunes and Windows Vista diagnostics says everything is fine with my network connections and settings. I have tried disabling firewalls and antivirus security during the updates, and it makes no difference.
    Does Apple have any real solutions to this mess (lots of other users are still having similar problems I see), or are some users devices permanently relegated to running older operating systems?

    Sigh.  Yes, thank you, I have the correct updates for each device, downloaded directly from Apple.  I know how to install them directly from my computer, that's what I've had to do for the past year or so.  As I said, it always worked, until now.  My question is, why doesn't it work anymore, and what is Apple doing to address this, and the multiple other update failure issues that users are having with iOS5?

  • IOS 7 Update Failures

    The iOS 7 update continually fails at the "preparing to update" stage. I am on a school-issued iPad 2. Any suggestions?

    Are you trying to update via wifi?

  • IOS 8 update failure

    Hi, Just attempted IOS8 update via iTunes on PC running Windows 7, received "known error" now the phone is stuck with the connect to iTunes symbol, won't respond, hard reset just boots the phone back to same connect to iTunes screen, can anyone help, I recall this happening in the IOS7 update and only resolved when I went to store and connected to a MAC? thoughts?
    Tks.

    Hey Helenpeacock,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the phone wont update to the new OS. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • IOS 5 update failure for iPhone. Help!!

    I have tried to update my iPhone to IOS5 but it keeps "timing out", says to check if settings are correct. How do I do that????

    Temporarily disable ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software and try again.

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • My daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!

    my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
    how can i get this ipod reset.  She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my account

    That has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
      If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes

  • Imessaging doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

  • "Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6."

    I tried to update my iphone 4 through my settings and got the error "Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6." This is not the first time that happens. I got the same error in the last 3 ios updates. The only way that I found to solve was to update by itunes, but as we have the option to update through iphone, I want to do that.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem will be most appreciated.

    In the last 3 ios updates I had to use itunes because through the settings I always get the same error message. The point is that I don't want to use the itunes. I want apple to fix the problem (as I can see I'm not the only one having problem). I have 2 friends that did the update in the same time that I was trying to do, and for both them it worked.

  • Ios 5 Update New Features says that iCal now has a week view for iPhone but after updating last weekend, I don't see any week view--just List, Day and Month..How do I get the week view?

    ios 5 Update New Features says that calendar now has a week view but after updating my iPhone 4 last weekend, I don't see any week view for iCal--just List, Day and Month as in the past. Is the weekly view available for iCal and if so, how do I access it?

    Rotate your phone to landscape.

  • Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

    My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car.  Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player.  I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have.  Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would love to see an update on issues like this.
    I have the pioneer avh-3400bh.  Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should.  Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information.  Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control.  the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything.  Same for the pandora app

  • After IOS 8 update.

    Hello,
    My Mobile details.
    Phone: I phone 4S - 8GB
    OS: IOS 8 Updated on 20th Sep 14
    After updating below problems.
    1. While trying to add call to existing call (Trying to make con call) I can go to contact but when tried to search the names the key board appears with a blank white space without keys.
         Con Call is difficult to make
    2. While trying to make call, It takes almost 1 second to go to call screen after tap on number.
    3. Top Message bar( Battery indicator, signal strength) goes black some times. only on coming back to home screen it come back.
    4. While searching the contacts, the last bottom contact remains down only, it doesn't come up even after moving it.
         In IOS 7 it use to come up.
    it feels irritated due to above glitch.

    I tried all of the suggested solutions mentioned in this thread, and finally did a full reset according to Apple's instructions, step by step (as an engineer and 40 year computer user I am good at that stuff).
    Sorry to say after the several hour process, not one of the problems I have experienced have been solved. 
    IPad 2 is still running slow and choppy.
    Some Apps do not even load.
    Website pages will not load and result in error messages. One particularly annoying Safari error on loading a new web page is:  "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded".
    MY iPad  2 worked perfectly for the last couple of years through several updates that performed seamlessly, but this one and the two most recent corrected updates have rendered my iPad so degraded that I don't think I will be using it much anymore. I originally bought the tablet because of it's smooth GUI and fast performance, the reliability and error free environment, and Apple's proven record for effective updates. That's all gone now.

  • After ios 8 update on ipad mini. None of my apps connect to app store for in app purchases.

    In app purchases worked before ios 8 update was installed on ipad mini. Restrictions are turned off. Can login to app store and purchase and download apps. Can't do in app purchases. Anybody else have this problem?

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

  • After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

    As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app.  I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
    Soft reset ipad
    Hard reset ipad
    logout of itune store and login
    delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
    All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again.  This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote.  My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it.  For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8. 

    You are not alone. Here's one thread
    Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

  • After iOS 8 update, iBooks and Frequent locations.

    So after the iOS 8 update I noticed iBooks taking up space up to 6MB when I do not have any iBooks. Also I noticed freque

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
