IOS update does not complete

I recently had an issue where only the header on my two different email accounts would display. I figured I would sync my phone ande check for updates to see if a patch would fix it. It seems the IOS 5.0.1 was able to download, but my iTunes could not complete the push to my phone. It stayed around the 25% complete indicator all night. iTunes will not let me eject my iPhone due to currently running the update.
I have the Iphone 4 and loaded IOS 5.0 appx two weeks ago.
Is my only option to factory reset?

There have been other questions about the update haning up and the recommendation is that if you are stuck at the Apple scrreen for more than ten minutes, force the unit to restore.

  • ITunes 10.6.1 Update button for iOS update does not work (a bug)

    iTunes 10.6.1 Update button on iOS device Summary / Version page does not update devices. It only checks the iTunes version!
    With iTunes 10.6.1, connect an iPad, iPhone, iPod running pre-6 iOS version.
    On iPad Summary / Version page, next to  [Update] button the message says:
    "A newer version of the iPad software is available (version 6.0). To update your iPad with the latest software, click Update."
    However, clicking the [Update] button will not start update iPad. Instead it gives you a dialog saying:
    "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version".
    Obviously it should start updating the i-device there but instead just goes and check the iTunes version ?!?
    A Bug!
    What's really annoying in this bug is that it's the only way to update pre iOS 5.x devices, which is now impossible!
    Apple should get this fixed asap!
    Anyone found any workarounds?
    [Edit]: There seems to be another discussion of this issue already:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19671173#19671173

    Just forgot to add, yes, I know there's iTunes 10.7 but it's only available on Snow Leopard and higher.
    The machine in question is an old macbook, running Leopard (10.5.8), that it will propably never get upgraded.
    Since most  my older i-devices were initially synced with that particular machine, I'll be now stuck with iOS updates, without loosing content.

  • IPod Touch 4G with 4.3.1 iOS update does NOT seem to work with WEP

    I have a new wireless router (1 month old) with current firmware that I have set up with WEP (I know, not great but also have some older laptops that need it). Before the iPod iOS update, everything worked reliably all the time, but after the update "Unable to join the network XXXXXXXX" message was displayed. Post update, iPod works fine on other "public" networks.
    So far the only workable solution I have been able to come up with is adding a 2nd unsecured SSID (router will support up to 4) with no broadcast and access limited to the iPod MAC address. If any of the WiFi experts here have other suggestions, I would sure welcome them. Thanks.

    WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
    If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
    1. Use the 128 bit setting
    2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
    You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.

  • Firefox update does not complete but has removed old firefox

    If I end my firefox session and restart - I get an auto update message and it starts automatically - after several minutes I try to start firefox and the target has been deleted - firefox is gone - I downloaded the latest version from mozilla and it works until the next startup. I am running WIN7 and FIREFOX 29
    I have reproduced this twice so far so whatever is going wrong is consistent

    HI pladfirefox
    Please see: [[Firefox just updated - why is it asking me to update again?]]

  • Update does not complete

    G'day,
    Been trying to update my Z3 through pc companion for days now. The new lollipop update. Everytime it gets stuck at 'preparing'. Any help would be highly appreciated.

    The problem is most likely 64bit which doesn't seem to like the Flashmode driver - Try running PCC in compatibility mode and choose another system or try and use a 32bit system - I'd recommend Windows 7 32bit

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

    There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

  • Ios 7 does not update on my ipod touch?

    ios 7 does not appear on my ipod touch???

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

    Problem:
    When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
    Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
    Symptoms:
    1)   Sync:  It’s not completing the sync.  Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options.  I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
    waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
    backing up (step 2 of 7)
    preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
    determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
    preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
    importing photos (step 6 of 7)
    waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
    syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
    canceling sync
    apple icon
    2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone.  All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto.  All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
    3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list.  If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes.  But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
    Other Potential Pertinent Info:
    The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago).  Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed.  I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive.  Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself.  However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive.  All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
    Settings/Status:
    MacBook Air
    OSX v. 10.9
    iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
    iPhone iOS 7.0.4
    iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
    Summary Tab
    Backups (This Computer)
    Options
    Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Photos Tab
    Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
    Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
    Albums – 9 are selected

    You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

  • Mdm:iOS terminal does not communicate to a MDM server

    Is this iPad used? 
    iTunes should be version 11
    It should be reset to wipe all content from the device and set up as a new device with iTunes.    It should update to IOS 7.0.4
