IPhone 3GS - Have been trying to download OS 4 for a week !!!

I'm using iTunes 9.2 which appears to be working fine ... already reinstalled it twice in case this was the issue ... I plug my iPhone 3GS in and request update to OS 4 ... update runs downloading 378 MB over a 29 minute period ... iPhone still attached ... timer finishes with 377.9 MB showing as being downloaded ... hangs for 30 seconds then informs me that connection has timed out and for me to start again ... I have been trying at least 6 times a day since last Sunday with no luck ... can somebody please advise what's going off ... already tried another PC and contacted my IP provider ?????

You may want to wait until Apple fixes some bugs. My 3GS no longer syncs with MobileMe since installing iOS4. I spent a total of 7 hours over the past two days following all of the suggestions posted on the troubleshooting sites...to no avail. I even did a restore in iTunes and spent over two hours with a chat agent who also had no fix. He is "escalating" my issue to higher powers. I love the other features...folders, the ability to change backgrounds...but I have to be able to sync my calendars.

I have been trying to download Adobe Air for a website I'm trying to access (Colonial Williamsburg). After the installation was finished, I went back to the website and it still said I didn't have Adobe Air. I tried reinstalling and Adobe said I already have it on my system (Mac OSX 10.9). I can't find the app. I uninstalled, restarted, etc. and same results.
Thoughts anyone?

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

I have been trying to download a movie for the pass three days and an error keeps occuring.

I have been trying to download the movie Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for the pass three days. however i am getting an error every time that stops the download. what should i do?

I have probably the same problem with Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) [6.0.6002] 32 bit and iTunes 10.4.0.80
For my iPhone 4 I did try to download iOS4.3.5 666.6 MB after about a halfe hour and approx. 333.4 MB I saw the Network traffic has stopped and iTunes displayed the error message -3259
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone.The network connection timed out. "
I already turned of the FIREWALL but that did't help. I assume that it isn't my network its probably the very slow server on the other end.

Have been trying to upgrade my plan for a week now, had it handled but they are now reneging on the agreement they made. Basically happy to see my family leave over a one time $30 charge.

I Went to the store to upgrade phones and get a new plan. They didn't have any of the three phones I was gettin, Tried to sell me a plan for 8 gigabyte, even though we don't even use 1 now. Left mad, manager watched and did nothing. Tried to call, I got mad when the customer service agent chuckled at me. I was pretty well done then. Wife tried, had it all worked, we were getting the arrangements as we wanted them. I even listened since it was on speaker phone, she was still talking as she left the house, the Verizon phone dropped the call, she called back and now they won't us the same deal they already agreed to. I told her I would try one last time. I explai this was my last call, at the end I found that my plan is paid through the 21st. What is really bad is that they don't even care enough to have a supervisor call. They won't even let me speak to one. I was willing to stay with them because in the past I had never had a problem with them, now I can see how they could be any worse.

mrhelper, you sure are knowledgeable about Verizon, the $30 fee is the cost to upgrade one of my phone. I feel that this is unreasonable since I do not have a contract and a new customer does not have to pay that.
The only time you pay the upgrade fee is if you take a subsidized discount on a phone and that does in fact require a contract. new customers have to pay a $35 activation fee.
As far as me being knowledgeable this fee has been in place for 2 1/2 and was announced on every major news source and is CLEARLY labeled on each phone in the stores and online. In fact my local store has a huge sign right at the counter stating that all upgrades are assessed a $30 upgrade fee. So know it doesn't take a lot of knowledge to know this fee exists.

I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.

HT1620 I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad. It takes between 6-8 hours to download and after about 4-5 hours it send me an error message and cannot download. How can I delete this downloa? it will not let me download any apps

I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad. After its been downloading for about 4 hours, I receive a message that there is an error and cannot download. How can I delete this download from my settings? I tried downloading other apps, but it will not let me unless I download iOS 6.1

What iOS are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I have been trying to download ios8. I dont remember exactly what happened but at some point I ended up unplugging my phone from my computer because there was an error. Every since then it has not been turning on or responding to iTunes.
When it does respond to iTunes it tells me that I have to restore my phone. I click restore and it says "Extracting Software". It gets all the way to the end and then says that there is an error; something about a disk being full?
I have no idea what is going on and I could really use some help.
Thanks.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset.

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

If you describe your issue with more concrete details rather than words like “loops” then maybe someone can recognize what is happening and give some advice.
A screenshot would also help.

I have been trying to download Maverick on to my 2012 MacAir. It gets to 996MB and stops. A message says there has been an error in the download and to go to purchases and try again. It's the same every time I try.
Any ideas?

Hi Guys:-
If this SAME problems is effecting us all then suspect its not IPS problem as we all get problem at 995.6MB.
I would think that there is some kind of software conflict. If we all having this problem just think of how many users have the same but are not on this discussion board, bet you its 100s and 100s.
Not possible for me to visit store now but will monitor your responce's.
Good luck guys, lets make um give us a fix:- I will call them tomorrow and see what they say:- should point support to this Discussion page and they can answer us !
Cheers and good luck also
