IPad/iPhone 4s will not update

I have a new ipad2 and iphone 4s running 5.0.1
I have just tried to update to ios 5.1 and iTunes fails to connect with the server to update.
I have updated Itunes and rebooted but with no luck.
Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Once it's downloaded, open iTunes, select your device, hold option (alt) key, and press "check for update". Then select your downloaded file.
It will perform same update as if you did it normal way.
You will need to download iPad2 firmware separately.
There are 3 versions:

iOS- Unable to update or restore
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
Have you tried connecting to your computer and updating via iTunes?
You may have to do a full restore to upgrade:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

HT201210 Iphone 4s will not update to iOS 7. Says an error occurred. I have to plug my phone into the computer also because it will not connect to home wifi. All other devices will connect to wifi though. I have enough storage to update also.

My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7. I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi. I've tried several different things but nothing is working. I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage. When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it. It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message. Do I need the iphone 5?

I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac. Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error. It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works. I have an apple airport extreme router too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...

I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My iphone 4 will not update apps. In trying to do so, it goes directly to the app instead of updating. I have read prior comments and answers, and have tried suggested solutions to no avail. Why is apple support not addressing this issue?

I believe this issue was addressed in a software update. If your signature is accurate, you are about five updates behind

HT4623 My iphone 5 will not update apps, is stuck in "waiting", reset using soft reset several times, then went into settings, general and reset twice, still frozen apps in waiting and will not update anymore.

Iphone 5 will not update apps. s
Stuck in "waiting" even after multiple resets to phone and through settings. HELP!

Have you tried deleting the waiting apps and then re downloading? I used to get it all the time on my phone in iOS 7.

IPhone 4 will not update! HELP!

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 will not update to IOS 5.0, an error message keeps coming up that that 'network connection timed out'. I'm connected to my Wi-Fi at all times.

I had the same problem. I waited about one hour with the progress bar on iTunes at about 50% and the progress bar on my iPhone 4 at about 20% with no further progress.
I unplugged iPhone, got the error message (9), shut down iTunes, restarted my Macbook Pro, did a hard reset on iPhone and then reconnected to my MBP. iTunes launched and notified me that my iPhone needed to be "restored."
I went ahead and did the restore, which took only about 8-10 minutes. I did not restore the prior iphone backup, but chose to synch it as a new iphone. All went well. It now shows iOS 4.2.1 and all I have to do is manually install the apps I want, etc....
I hope this helps.

HT4623 My iphone 4 will not update to the new ios 6. My husbands phone did update.

My iphone 4 will not update to ios6. It keeps saying there is an error. My husband has the same phone purchased at thesame time and his updated just fine.

Same thing, but even worse because there also is not enough space to do the restore. I think I am screwed and lost everything. I HATE these updates, seems like there are always major issues!

IPad Air Apps will not update after ios8.0.2

I Now have 17 apps that will not update after I updated my iPad Air to 8.0.2. What gives? Some apps are stuck in mid update, so i can't use them. My wifi works. I have restored my iPad twice using iTunes. I have plenty of empty storage. I have reset my iPad. I'm out of ideas.

I have been having the same problem but was able to get around it by updating the apps in iTunes on my Mac then syncing my iPad to iTunes on my Mac. Certainly not an elegant solution but until Apple gets this fixed it is the only way I have found to get updated Apps.
