IPhone 2.0 software update- is something wrong?!

my phone has been plugged into my computer for 4 and a half hours maybe 5. the screen hasnt changed since- its a white apple usb cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo and the sliding bar beneath says slide for emergency. is my phone not downloading the sofware? should i start over? or is it just taking a ridiculously long time?

Try this:
1) Disconnect the iPhone
2) Shut down the computer.
3) Start the computer.
4) Start iTunes
5) Connect the iPhone.
At this hour, the load on the servers should be light enough that activation goes quickly. Restoration of your backed up data may take a while, but at least your phone will be unbricked.

  • I am new to iphones and went to Itunes and it said my new iphone needed a software update. Now the apps that I put on wont work and when pressed just flash on then off the screen. I paid £20 for one of them so any help would be appreciated.

  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

    I sounds like you have the first generation (1G) iPod Touch with an iOS earlier than 2.0,  Yu can identify your ipod here:

    That charge is for touch users who have not already purchased the 2.0 firmware. There is no charge for iPhone users. Can you throw that iPhone in my trash instead?

    I have a 8 GB Ipod touch. The software version is currently 2.2.1. All of my apps will no longer sync to my Ipod because it says they require the Iphone 3.0 software update. I have tried to update my software several times, but it says I have the current version. What can I do?

  • I have an apple id which I have been happily using to purchase from iTunes and it appears on iPad and iPhone. Now I have done something wrong in iCloud and my mobile me Id comes up on iPhone and iPad so I can no longer purchase. What should I do.

    I have an apple id which I have been happily using to purchase from iTunes and it appears magically on iPad and iPhone, MacBook and partner's iPod touch. Now I have done something wrong in iCloud and my mobile me Id comes up on iPhone and iPad so I can no longer purchase using this and i can't find a way to reset  What should I do? I want to be able to buy apps from iPhone and iPad from this same account and  still synch with my mac book and share with my partner's iPod touch.
    Any suggestions?

    We are users, not Apple. We cannot trace your phone, and neither can Apple.
    Please change every password you have. Posting your email addresses and Apple IDs on a public forum is insane. Hopefully a Mod will edit them out for you.

  • Software Update advice with wrong website address.

    I've just received a Software Update notification, but the website given for obtaining further information appears to be wrong. After clicking it, I received the response "Document 307051 not found". The suggested search was also unsuccessful.
    The updates offered were to Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 6 and Quick Time.
    I'm hoping that somebody from Apple may see this and sort out the problem, but I can't rely on that. Has anyone got advice for me as to how else to draw the matter to Apple's attention?

    You didn't perchance ever visit a site that insisted you need a QT Player update to view Video did you? It intercepts some DNS requests & redirects, don't install it...

    I think some IMs do this as well as Spammers/Scammers.
    If you need updates, or think you might, either use Software Update, or better yet visit Apple>downloads.

    Hello Sam49
    Check back sometime on and or after July 11th. This will be the release date of the new iPhone. So check Software updates in iTunes on that day or sometime after. Or just keep checking once a week. iTunes will let you know

  • IPhone stuck during software update, in airplane mode

    HINT:
    Make sure you are not in airplane mode when performing an iPhone software update. If you do, then you will get an iTunes alert saying ...
    "The iPhone "(name of iPhone)" cannot be used with iTunes because the information required for activation could not be obtained from the iPhone. Check that the SIM card is inserted in your iPhone and that it is not PIN-locked."
    To get out of airplane mode: slide the emergency call slide, punch in any number, hit CALL, an alert will pop up asking you to turn off airplane mode, .....
    NOTE:
    Apple could eliminate this problem by (1) blocking all incoming calls during syncs and updates and (2) checking to see if the phone is in airplane mode before allowing an update to occur.

    Thank you! Thank you! I was about to spend forever on hold for Apple support to help get me out of airplane mode! I forgot I was in airplane mode when I started updating the phone to 2.1.
    Thanks so much for saving me a needless call!

  • Iphone crash during software update.....now won't connect

    Hey everyone,
    I was trying to update the software on my 3gs, but during the update itunes stopped recognizing my iphone and now the phone is giving me the connect to itunes screen because it needs to be restored. Now, the problem is that when I try to connect the phone to my pc it tells me that it's in recovery mode and it needs to be restored, however, when I click retore it gets stuck on the "preparing iphone for restore sceen" and sometimes it stops and gives me the 0xE0000065 error message. So I tried to open ports 88 and 443 and try again, but the same thing keeps happening. If anybody has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know, thanks.
